Appraisal POWL UI modification in MSS EhP5

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,
We need a small modification in the standard EHP5 appraisal POWL UI. The FPM component
is HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI and the configuration is HAP_START_PG_POW_MSS_CC. We need to restrict few entries from appearing in the
Appraisal Template dropdown which opens up on click of the 'Create' button (as shown in screenshot).

I need your help on how shall I go about this modification as I have hunted the FPM component but coulds not find the POWL parameter
details. Though I can see one Assistance Class CL_HAP_WD_START_PAGE_UI having a method TEMPLATE_GET_LIST which retrieves the Appraisal templates.
I am not able to figure out how the FPM component calls theis method if at all it uses this populate the dropdown.

can you please also tell me the best practices for these kind of modifications. Do I need to copy the standard FPM component and make a Z version and
modify the code. If I do enhancement will it be ok. Please help.

And please tell me how to get the link between the FPM component and POWL.
