substitution and inbox configuration

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Lauri,
There have been several discussions on this topic in the past on the
SAP-WUG.  You might want to try reading the archives.
But basically yes you can maintain them centrally.
If you are using A210 relationships, they can be created via the
usual HR transactions.
If you are using direct user to user substitution you can maintain
table HRUS_D2, e.g. by using the RH_SUBSITUTES* function modules.

Subject: substitution and inbox configuration
 
 
Hello!
 
I have two questions that I have been trying to answer with little luck, and would much appreciate your expert opinion. We are operating on release 4.5B.
 
1) Is it possible to maintain substitution centrally by e.g. an administrator? We are about to implement a large-scale approval workflow and need a possibility for an admin. to set e.g. user B to act as user A's substitute during absence. I am afraid all our users will not remember to do this by themselves via web interface we have built.
 
2) It is quite convenient to make different private configurations for inbox view via Settings -> Select columns. Is it possible to create a common configuration that would be available for all selected users?
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Br, Lauri
