Description:  With this app you can manage teams, responsibility definitions, and team member functions in Responsibility Management. You can use responsibility definitions and member functions to determine members that are responsible for workflows, business scenarios, and situation handling. A team member is a business partner associated with an SAP user (a business user). Before you add members to teams, you need to make sure that team members meet the required prerequisites. From SAP Fiori launchpad, you can choose the Teams search model to search for teams in Responsibility Management. You can also apply filters to see a subset of the result list. For more information about enterprise search, see Enterprise Search. 
This application allows the business process specialist to manage teams, team members, and their responsibility definitions such as functions. The teams or team members can then be mapped as responsible for an activity type in a process step of a workflow or a normal business scenario.
Key features:  You can use this app to:   Create, edit, copy, and delete teams.   Create a team global ID to reference a team. A team global ID uniquely identifies a team across multiple systems. For example, when you need to have the same team in production and quality systems, or any system or service which can store a team in responsibility management, you need a team global ID that is the same in all systems. A team global ID cannot be empty, cannot be longer than 40 characters, and cannot be changed after it is saved. When you create a team, the team global ID is automatically populated with the name, after you enter a team name. If needed, you can change a global ID before you save a team's definition. After you save, you can't change the global ID. Note For an existing team created in an earlier release, please maintain a team global ID so that the team is accessible via Responsibility Management Teams - Read (Deprecated) and Responsibility Management Team Configurations - Read (Deprecated) ODATA APIs. A team internal ID is generated automatically but is unique to the system in which it is created. Therefore, if you need a reference to a team, SAP recommends that you persist the team global ID and not the team internal ID.   You can choose Enable or Disable to change a team's status without navigating to a team's details page. This helps you to indicate whether a team can be used for agent determination. These buttons are also available on a team's details page so that you can change a team's status without editing a team. Note You cannot change the status of a hierarchical team. Note If you select teams with different statuses, the Enable and Disable buttons are deactivated.   Create team owners who are responsible for the team header, responsibility definitions, team members, and associated functions. Note Only a business process specialist, authorized to edit, delete, and manage a team is considered as a team owner. If you want to inform team owners about unavailable team members who are responsible for business processes and situations, you can use the Manage Situation Types application to notify them after they have logged on to SAP Fiori launchpad. For more information about creating notifications for team owners, see Notifying Team Owners about Unavailable Team Members.   Maintain responsibility definitions (team attributes) in team categories. A responsibility definition is a name-value pair that can be used to query teams maintained in Responsibility Management. For example, DISTRIBUTIONCHANNEL=10. Note We recommend that responsibility definitions do not contain personal data (including but not restricted to employees, business partners, customers, and vendors), transactional data (for example, Central Invoice Number, Purchase Order Number), and master data (for example, Material Number).  Maintain custom responsibility definitions except for the Bank Account Management (FCLM0) team category. For more information about adding custom responsibility definitions, see Define Custom Responsibility Definitions.Note We recommend that responsibility definitions do not contain personal data (including but not restricted to employees, business partners, customers, and vendors), transactional data (for example, Central Invoice Number, Purchase Order Number), and master data (for example, Material Number). Maintain team members and assign functions to each member. Assign functions to a set of members at a time. Find and replace a member (Business Partner ID) and associated functions with another member across teams. For example, John is a member of multiple teams and handles different functions across teams. You could replace John with Jim in each team. Jim would then have the same functions in those teams as John did. If required, you can assign only one of the functions of a selected member to a another member across teams. This removes the function from the selected member. You have to choose the category and type to see the list of functions. For example, John performs three functions – operational purchaser, workflow admin, and catalog management. You can replace John with Jim as a workflow admin across teams. Create and maintain a hierarchical structure for teams, subteams, and super teams with Show Hierarchy.If you choose Show Hierarchy before selecting a team, you can see structures of all the teams, their subteams, and super teams.From a team's hierarchical view, you can choose to see a team’s members, responsibility definitions, and additional details.While viewing a team's hierarchical structure, the Manage Subteams button, displays a list of potential subteams with responsibility definitions that are an exact match for a selected team.Note You can navigate to the Manage Team Hierarchies application by selecting a team and choosing Show Hierarchy from the Manage Teams and Responsibilities application only. See details (old and new values) about the changes made to a team.Note Change Documents does not capture changes in a team's hierarchical structure.
