  Key Concepts: 
  Alternative qualification is a feature of the Personnel Development (PA-PD) component of SAP. It allows an employee to be qualified for a job or position based on an alternative set of criteria, such as experience, education, or training. This allows for more flexibility in the hiring process and can help to ensure that the best candidate is chosen for the job. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use alternative qualification, an organization must first define the criteria that will be used to evaluate potential candidates. This can include experience, education, or training. Once the criteria have been established, the organization can then create a job profile that includes the alternative qualifications. This job profile can then be used to evaluate potential candidates and determine which one is best suited for the position. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a job profile with alternative qualifications, it is important to consider all of the criteria that will be used to evaluate potential candidates. This will help ensure that the best candidate is chosen for the position. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that alternative qualifications may not always be applicable to all positions and should only be used when necessary.
