Welcome to the tutorial on the SAP PPOME transaction configuration. In the earlier
tutorials on Organization and Staffing in SAP, we talked about the interface, its usage,
and how to handle basic configuration of the Details area of the interface. Here we will
take you through the incorporation of a new structure in the Overview area of PPOME
transaction.
We will begin by reiterating what we mentioned in the Organization and Staffing

tutorial.

When you double click on an object in the Selection area, the object is then displayed in the Overview area as depicted
in Figure 1. Here we can see the organizational unit XYZ Limited that we had selected. You can also see the structure
below the organizational unit. It is precisely the configuration of the choice of this structure that will be covered in this
tutorial.

Note that the structure you see depends on the object type you select. For example, when you select an Organizational
unit, the Staff Assignments structure is displayed by default. This structure has been highlighted in Figure 1.
It is possible to switch to a different structure instead of Staff Assignments. Again, the list of possible structures that can
be called depends on the object type you select. To check all the viewable structures, place the cursor on the object,
then click on the Goto icon that has been highlighted in Figure 2. This will show you the list of possible structures that
you can view for that object type. For an organizational unit, the list has been captured in Figure 3.
Figure 2: Goto Icon
Figure 3: List of Viewable Structures
For example, if you want to view the cost centres assigned within the structure, you can click on the ‘Account
Assignment’ option that has been highlighted in the screenshot above. You can see the resulting structure in Figure 4.
The cost centres (highlighted in the image) linked to the organizational units are visible in this structure.
Figure 4: Account Assignment Structure
Similarly, you can view each of the structures listed out in Figure 3. Every structure basically corresponds to an
Evaluation path. As we explained in the SAP Evaluation Paths tutorial, an evaluation path defines the objects and the
relationships among objects that must be selected to generate a structure.

An obvious question here is, what if you need to view a structure that has not been listed? For example, assume the
HR user wants to view an organizational unit, all subordinate organizational units and all employees assigned to each
of these organizational units. We will explain how this can be achieved in the next section.
Incorporation of a New Structure
You can incorporate a new Structure to the list of options in Figure 3 by following the below configuration steps in the
Implementation guide.
Creating an Evaluation path
You must first determine if there is an existing Evaluation path that can generate the required structure. If yes, you
should omit this step. If there isn’t, then you should create a new Evaluation path. Please go through the tutorial on
SAP Evaluation Paths to understand how to create a new evaluation path.
For our requirement, we can utilize the evaluation path ZTEST that we created in the SAP Evaluation Paths tutorial.
Define a New Service
Follow the IMG path shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: IMG Path for New Service Definition
Executing this takes you to the activity list in Figure 6. Double click on the first activity.
Figure 6: Activity List
You will then see the Scenario Definition Overview as depicted in Figure 7. To define a new service, double click on the
Definition Service folder that has been highlighted in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Scenario Definition Overview
In the next screen, click on the ‘New entries’ button that has been highlighted in Figure 8.
Figure 8: Definition Services
This will take you to the screen in Figure 9. Enter a name for the service and enter the Object key ‘GOWD’. Then click
on the Save icon. Then select the newly created entry and double click on ‘Attribute Service’ that has been highlighted
in the image.
Figure 9: New Entry
You will now reach the screen depicted in Figure 10, in which you should click on the highlighted ‘New entries’ button.
Figure 10: Attribute Service
Then enter the details as shown in Figure 11. Note that we have linked the newly created evaluation path ZTEST to this
service. This has been done for object type ‘O’, that is, Organizational unit. You can create a new entry for every object
type for which this is required.
Figure 11: Assign Evaluation Path to Service
Define a New Request
Next, double click on the Scenario Definition folder in the Dialog structure. Select the OME0 scenario as this is the
standard SAP scenario for Organization and Staffing as illustrated in Figure 12. Then double click on the Request
Definition folder in the Dialog structure. You can see this highlighted in the image.
Figure 12: Select OME0
You can then see the list of existing Requests as in Figure 13.
Figure 13: Request Definition
If you look closely, you will recognize some of the entries in the ‘Name’ column from the list of structures in Figure 3.
This implies that each structure in the list is basically a Hierarchy framework request. Hence, to incorporate a new entry
in that list, we should create a new request in this table.

You can do this quickly by copying the existing Staff Assignments (Structure) entry and making changes to the new
entry as necessary. Select the required row as illustrated in Figure 13, and click on the Copy icon (highlighted in the
same screenshot).
Figure 14: Make Changes in the New Entry
Assign suitable values in the columns Hierarchy Framework request and Name, as demonstrated in Figure 14. Scroll to
the right until you see the column ‘Service for 1st interface object’. Here, you must enter the name of the service we
created in the above step. As we created the service ZORGUNIT_EMPLOYEES, enter this value in this column, as
depicted in Figure 15.
Figure 15: Service for 1st Interface Object
This is the link between the Hierarchy framework request we are creating and the service (and consequently, the
evaluation path) we created earlier. This allows the system to interpret that if this request is selected using the Goto
icon in Organization and Staffing, the required Evaluation path (that selects the organizational structure and employees
assigned) must be displayed.
Then, hit the Enter key. The system throws the pop-up depicted in Figure 16, where you can select the option ‘Copy
all’, which will also copy dependent entries.
Figure 16: Specify Object to be Copied
To see which dependent entries have been copied, select the newly created entry and then double click on ‘Request in
Scenario for each Object type’ shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17: Request in Scenario for Each Object Type
This takes you to the screen in Figure 18. Here you can see the entry for this request and object type ‘O’. This means
that this request will be available for organizational units. We mentioned earlier in this tutorial that the list of viewable
structures (for example, the list in Figure 3), depends on the selected object type. It is here that this is defined. So, if
the new structure should be allowed for any other object type, you must add a new entry in this table for that object
type. In short, there will be one entry per request per object type.
Figure 18: Object Type ‘O’
Then, save the data by clicking on the Save icon.

Testing the New Structure in PPOME
Let’s go back to the Organization and Staffing interface (transaction PPOME) by executing the transaction code
PPOME. When we select the Organizational unit and then click on the Goto icon, we can now see the newly created
request ‘Organizational units and Employees’ as depicted in Figure 19.
Figure 19: New Request Visible in List
Click on this request to view the structure of Organizational units and employees. In Figure 20, you can see the new
structure successfully displayed.
