E- mail notification once in 14 days in E recruitment

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The requirement is to send e mail notification to internal uses once in 14 days if there job preferences and new job posting Search and map.

Q1.Is it possible in SAP R/3? If yes where is the result of search and match stored in R/3 so that we can wright a program stating that not to send notification for the search and match already taken place.

Q2.Is it possible to limit the Job Preferences criteria to Three criteria by wrighting a program?If yes what all things we need to take into consideration?

Q3.When candidate accepts offer a activity called offer accepted is created,it determines that the candidate has been selected,how to know in the system that the rest of the candidate have been rejected?

Early response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards

Q1. I am sure that this is very much possible, with the concept of Periodic services or Back ground Job schedule.

Develop the Logic in Report and schedule in back ground or

Method inside the class. and Go to IMG E-Rec->Technical Settings->Define Periodic Services->Define Periodic Services-> and Enter the Name of the Service + Developed Class.

Make a Entry in Activate Periodic Services and Schedule the Back Ground Periodic Services with the help of Report. RCF_PERIODICAL_SERVICES.

for More help in designing Class & methods see standard (CL_HRRCF_SPB_REQUISITION)

Q2. I Could not find any BADI to restrict this..yes it can also be done but one need to take much pain for that.

Q3. I am not sure whether SAP has designed is this way...if one accepted the offer than, is SAP is going to take care of Rejection process to all the other..?.i doubt it....every one will be Inprocess status only.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks alot for te detailed answer.

Today only I had a client meeting and there requirements have changed a bit.

Now what they are asking is when ever there is search and match in betwen the Jobs published and Job Preferences saved by an candidate an email should trigger to the candidate (stating that there is a match to your job preferences)but email should be sent only once for a given set of job search criterea for a given Position published.

I am stuck up here as I dont know how to map this scenario ,for the reason being the result of search and map is not stored in any table or infotype.

Could you please help me in mapping this scenario.

Thanks and best regards

Hi All,

For the above requirement we have come up with a solution which is as follows:

The result of job posted and preferences met would be stored in a custom table and emails would be sent once for the combination of date candidate and job posting.

further program would be written that would delete the table entries from the custom table on periodic basis.

Please tell us if this approach is ok or there is simpler way out.

Thanks and best regards
