Organizational Management Actions
Introduction
This document will show you all the steps needed to configure the Actions for Organizational Management
infotypes. You can group in sequences the infotypes belonging to Organizational Management in order to
facilitate the administration of Organizational Management objects. You can create different actions with all
the data needed for Creating an Organizational Unit/Position/Task/Work center. Other actions can reflect the
infotypes needed when Changing the existing data. The same steps can be followed in order to do actions
for Training and Event Management (Create external instructor) or for Talent Administration (Create
qualification)
Pre-configuration steps
Make a list with all the Actions that you need and the infotypes and their subtypes that you want to include in
each action. Furthermore, you can specify the Plan version and the Planning status for the infotypes that you
want to manage.
Note: Follow the SAP recommendation for the Customer specific Action number range.
SAP Configuration steps
In order to be able to run the Organizational Management Action you need to follow certain configuration
steps.
SPRO: Personnel Management -> Organizational Management-> Basic Settings-> Maintain Personnel Actions
Maintain Personnel Actions
In this configuration step you are given action templates by SAP. You can study them in order to get ideas
about what can be done in the system.
Step 1:
To begin with, select one Action line and copy it
This way you will not start from zero with your own action.

Step 6:
You are back in the initial screen. However, the name of the action disappears.
Write it again
Step 7:
Save your entries and add your customizing to the Change request.
Step 8:
Choose the newly created action and select Actions (individual maintenance)
Step 9:
On the screen you can see the copied infotypes and subtypes. You can modify these according to your
needs (you already made the list of infotypes and subtypes in the Pre-configuration steps.)
In our case, the standard action has more infotypes than we need. We delete the ones that are
unnecessary. And make additional changes if needed. Save the action.

You return to the initial configuration screen. You have to link the action with a transaction.
Note: If you perform Steps 10 to 13, you will end up with an error.
