• Key Concepts: 
  Weighting is a feature in the Personnel Development (PA-PD) component of SAP that allows users to assign numerical values to certain criteria in order to prioritize and compare different options. This feature is useful for making decisions about personnel development activities, such as training and career planning. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Weighting can be used to assign numerical values to criteria such as cost, time, and relevance. These values can then be used to compare different options and prioritize them based on the assigned values. For example, if cost is the most important factor, then the option with the lowest cost would be given the highest priority. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using weighting, it is important to consider all of the criteria that are relevant to the decision-making process. This will ensure that all of the options are evaluated fairly and accurately. Additionally, it is important to remember that weighting is only one tool for making decisions; other factors such as experience and intuition should also be taken into account.
