          Example
          Suppose you work in an educational institution, for which you areresponsible for administering certificates. Among other employees whosework requires certification, five guidance counselors are employed atyour workplace. You now wish to review the consistency of thequalifications for these five counselors. Upon running the report fortheir personnel numbers, the five counselors are displayed as follows.

          • No Matching Certificate

          • 80009895 (personnel number or person ID)
            - 22200100 Spec. in Secondary Education (qualification ID)
            • With Possible Matching Certificate(s)

            • 80009809
              - 22200150 Master's in Guidance & Counseling
              -- GUID {Certification and Licensing infotype (0795) code}
              80009827
              - 22200150 Master's in Guidance & Counseling
              -- GUID
              80009839
              - 22200150 Master's in Guidance & Counseling
              -- GUID
              80009872
              - 22200150 Master's in Guidance & Counseling
              -- GUID
              80009895
              - 22200150 Master's in Guidance & Counseling
              -- GUID
              In this example, the guidance counselor with person ID 80009895has recently begun working at your school, after moving from a statethat requires its guidance counselors to hold a specialization insecondary education. Since guidance counselors in your state onlyrequire a Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling, the new employeehas an unnecessary qualification - 22200100 Spec. inSecondary Education. Moreover, this qualification was never mapped toany Certification and Licensing infotype (0795) code.
              Therefore, if you do not require this qualification for any otherpurpose, you are at liberty to delete it by selecting its checkbox, thenchoosing Delete Selected Qualification(s) from the applicationtoolbar. However, since the qualifications displayed in the output ofthis report may be required for other business processes in PersonnelDevelopment, we recommend that you exercise caution when manuallydeleting qualifications from the output of this report.
