So here I am writing my first post on OSA.I have got the assignment on OSA.My first question is What is OSA?.so I have started searching over SDN and found losts of useful information.Keeping this in mind that this information can be useful to other I have decided to write the blog.

MbO(Management by objectives) is what the SAP application OSA (Objective Setting & Appraisals) is also called. It is delivered for the first time with 4/7, extention set 1.10 and currently the ERP2005 development for this component is finished.It is not specificly an MSS/ESS scenario. It will also run in R/3, stand-alone in the intranet or included in your portal outside of MSS/ESS.Component is PA-PD-PM. General help documentation can be found on the SAP help portal
