Function module to get manager of a user

[Former Member]

hi,

I am desparatly looking for a BAPI / RFC giving be a list of all directly managed subordinates of an user.

using HCM_GET_ORGSTRUCTURE_AS_XML is great but since I do not have information about relationships, I can' tell for sure who is manager of whom. It gives me this (originally hex-encoded!) output:

...

do you know of a RFC I can use for retrieving the direct

subordinates of a user or -even better- to get a full, hierarchical representation of all subordinates? With the RFC above I can tell, who is a member of a certain organisational unit but not who the members linemanager is.

Thanks alot.

I don't know about RFC, but have a look at this thread and may be you can create an RFC wrapping the one in this thread.

Thanks Srinivas, indeed, that took me further, but what I am trying to achive is to put the cart before the horse:

I need to get a list of all subordinates of a manager, the RH_STRUC_GET with act_wegid = 'BOSSONLY' returns the manager of a organisational unit.

I could assemble the information myself using RH_STRUC_GET and HCM_GET_ORGSTRUCTURE_AS_XML if the following assumtion is true:

Is it true, that a manager of an Orgaisational unit is the linemanager of each other Person in this Org unit?

Thanks alot
