Understanding Concurrent Employment in SAP Personnel & Organization 

Questions

1. In SAP Personnel & Organization with Concurrent Employment active, how does the system display personnel assignments for an employee in the master data application?

A) As a list of employee photos with their job titles
B) As a dropdown list showing the external person ID (CP) and personnel assignment IDs (P)
C) As a table of infotypes with no dropdown functionality
D) As a single personnel number without additional assignments

Correct Answer:

B) As a dropdown list showing the external person ID (CP) and personnel assignment IDs (P)

Explanation:

When Concurrent Employment is enabled in SAP Personnel & Organization, the system is enhanced to manage multiple personnel assignments for a single employee. This enhancement is especially useful for organizations where employees might have various roles or assignments within the same organization.

According to the functionality described under “Switching between similar employees,” the system displays:

  • The external person ID (object type CP) and, below it,
  • The IDs of the personnel assignments (object type P) within a dropdown list.
This dropdown list appears below the employee photo in the short profile on the object profile page, allowing users to seamlessly switch between an employee’s multiple personnel assignments.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

  • Option A: A list of employee photos with their job titles is incorrect because the system uses a dropdown list instead of a photo-based list. Additionally, job titles are not part of the display.
  • Option C: A table of infotypes with no dropdown functionality is incorrect because the functionality is clearly described as a dropdown list, not a static table. Infotypes are handled separately.
  • Option D: A single personnel number without additional assignments is incorrect because it contradicts the concept of Concurrent Employment, which supports multiple assignments linked to a single external person ID.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, as it accurately describes the system’s behavior when handling Concurrent Employment.
