Generate Email on Infotype Changes

2011-07-17T20:22:00.000-07:00

Dear Guru’s,

I have an issue in generating Email when some changes are done in the HR master. I have done it through Dynamic action and it is working fine. But my problem is that I dont want to generate a message when I perform an Hiring Action as I have done the Dynamic Action configuration for all the Infotypes and I have activated the Feature M0001 also. So when I perform an Action of Hiring I am getting atleast 15 mails.

So my issue now can I do some configuration in feature M0001 on the basis of T code that when an action is performed through PA40 mails will not be generated.

When I was reading the documentation for feature M0001, I found that in the feature return atributes 3 attributes as Name1, name2 and name3. Can any one help me as what is the return value these attributes.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

In dynamic action you can specify transaction code criteria (parameter TCODE). So, if actions is started via transaction PA40 you can set mail just for IT 0000, if via PA30 then for all needed infotypes.

Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. But I feel and I checked that TCODE cannot be called in Dynamic Actions. I tried to call a TCODE and it is not working.

Moreover, I am getting a message when any change is done in the HR master. I dont want a mail when an Hiring is performed.

Please let me know if there is any other option.

Regards,
Vijay

Hi,

You should use field SY-TCODE.

Cheers!

Hi,

It is working and thank u for your valuable inputs. I have 1 more doubt. What is the return value for Name1, Name2 & name3 in feature M0001.

Moreover i have developed a routine and i am calling the routine in Dynamic Action to generate a Mail. The mail is geting generated but it is not being sent to the email ids and remains in the SAP inbox as status "waiting".

What can be the reason for this.

Regards,
Vijay.

NAME1 - If the infotype that triggers the mail is not the
Organizational Assignment infotype (0001), then the feature
specified is read.
You can define distribution lists and recipients in
this feature. The standard SAP system contains the
feature RCIEV, which can be used as an example.

NAME2 - If the infotype that triggers the mail is the
Organizational Assignment infotype (0001),
then the feature specified will be read
using the new data contained in infotype 0001. New data
means data contained in an infotype record for infotype
0001 that has been changed after the mail was sent. You
can define a distribution list and a recipient in this
feature.
The standard SAP system contains the feature RCNEW,
which can be used as an example.

NAME3 - If the infotype that triggers the mail is the
Organizational Assignment infotype (0001),
then the feature specified here, will be
read using the old data contained in the infotype. Old
data means data prior to changing the infotype record that
triggered a mail to be sent. You can define distribution
lists and recipients in the feature. The standard SAP
system contains feature RCOLD, which can be used as an
example.

HI,

1. Go to SE38
2. and execute report RSCONN01 with selection screen as it is.

Your mail should be sent.

Do check and let us know. We have schedule this program to run every 15 mins so that mails are sent from SAP.

Could any one explain the feature M0001 functionality.
If the feature M0001 is defined like this......

Hi,

Did you read the documentation for the feature? It is explained quite well.

Also you can find more documentation at
http://www.hrexpertonline.com/.

From what you sent below the RECV1, RECV2, OR RECV3 needs to be selected, also only one of the NAME1 , NAME2, OR NAME3.
Depending on which feature in NAME1, 2 or 3 is used you also have to go to that feature and update it.

Here is an example on sending an email to a distribution list anytime the Province/State on IT0006 is changing.

significance of TARIF , SUMME and PRZNT in regards to indirect valuation?

2011-07-17T08:48:00.000-07:00

TARIF is also a wage type Indirect valuation module.

TRAIF is a feature used to default Basic Pay WT in IT0008.

Indirect Valuation : The system automatically calculates the wage type amount and enters it in the infotype. In this case, the wage type amount is imported and/or calculated from the table and does not have to be entered manually.

The TARIF module uses pay scale data that is taken from the pay scale groups and levels entered in the Basic Pay infotype.

The module TARIF has four variants (A - D), that have the following meaning:
A Valuation is based on the pay scale group and level
B Valuation is based on pay scale group/level and specific wage type
C Valuation does not depend on pay scale level
D Valuation does not depend on pay scale group or level

There are two modules that can be used for indirect valuation. Both of these modules are based on how the table "Base Wage Type Valuation" is set up.

In the IMG structure, choose: Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Payroll Data > Basic Pay > Wage Types > Define Valuation of Base Wage Types

The modules are:
SUMME - The wage type amount is the result of this valuation.
eg-Wage Type 1+ Wage Type 2= Wage type 3

PRZNT - The result of this valuation is multiplied by the percentage specified.
eg-Wage Type 1+ Wage Type 2+Wage type 3=Wage type 3

There is TARIF feature which defaults pay scale type/pay scale area in the IT 008 we can default the Payscale data using the TARIF feature.

Certain wage types are calculated as a percentage of other wage types.

You can link the wage type that is to be valuated with several base wage types in the Base Wage Type Valuation table.

In "Define valuation of base wage types", you must specify which wage types are to be used to calculate the percentage bonus (PRZNT). A distinction is made between direct and indirect variants.

In the direct variant, you must enter the wage types to be used as a valuation basis in the infotype otherwise, they are not considered. The relevant wage types must not be in the infotype in the indirect variant. The monetary value is determined internally, and is used used as the basis for further calculations.

You must define which wage types are to be used to calculate the percentage bonus (SUMME). A distinction is also made between direct and indirect variants. In the direct variant, you must enter the wage types to be used as a valuation basis in the infotype otherwise, they are not considered. The relevant wage types must not be in the infotype in the indirect variant. The monetary value is determined internally, and is used used as the basis for further calculations.

Unlike the PRZNT module, the percentage value in the SUMME module is entered in the table (field: Percentage) as a fixed value and is therefore linked to the wage type

PE50 Time Form Editor

2011-07-16T23:58:00.000-07:00

Here
are the list
T512F - Form Windows
T512G - Supplementary Group Texts
T514K - Permitted Table Names
T512Q - Data in fixed positions
T512E - Form related Control of Wage Types
T512N - Rule table for form
T512D - Lin Layouot in window.

This is useful for all aspects of maintenance of PE51. Sometimes if you
change a single field in pe51, a message comes up saying it is not valid
but if you input it directly on the table , it is okay. So for the field
change you are doing, you would need T512Q.

Problem with Form-16 for 3 EE /no challan details, no summary of TDS

2011-07-16T23:48:00.001-07:00

Hi Experts,

WE are facing a problem while generating the Form-16.This problem is arising for only 7 employees.

1.In the First of page of Form-16 at summary of tax deducted at source..There are no values found for all 4 quarters.It is showing all blanks in recipt number column,amount of tax deducted,amount of tax remitted for all these 3 employees.It is showing 0.00 in Total column.

2.In the second page of 15 th column which is Less:tax deducted at source u/s 192(1) is showing up 52357/-(This 52357/- has to be shown as total of summary of tax deducted at source in the first page of form 16)

Even in verification in page 2 of form16 is showing that a sum of 0.00 has been deducted and deposited to the credit of central government.(where as it is showing tds u/s 192(1) as 52357/- in 15 th column in page 2 of f16).Also in form 12ba also it is furnishing the total tax paid as 52537/-

3.Challan details are not showingup at all for all these 7 employees.

Experts,what could be the reason for not showingup the values for all these employees.I checked with /456 and /460 in wagetype reporter..they are showingup proper values for the employees.Why system is showingup nil values for these employees.Please advice me to resolve the problem.

Regards,
Sairam.

Answer

Hi,

Form 16 challan details will come from Challan Mapping and Form 24Q ,just check whether they are included in challan mapping and 24Q report OR other way round check Table T7INTE and PCL 4 with Relid I1 and I2 in SE11 Display only whether these employees are included for that month with challan details.If they are not displayed here then they are not properly mapped you will have to do mapping for them again.

Regards,
Salil

Salil,

Thanks for the reply.
Let me know how to check whether they are included in challan mapping and 24Q report.Already we ran CMAP and 24q.Also generated form 16 s for allmost all employees.
For a few employees we are facing the issue with nul values.

I have checked the table T7intn.Tan numbers were properly maintained.
Also checked pcl4 with RELID L1,L2.But i can t able to find the employees, for whom the cmap were done.
Pllese let me how to know weather challan mapping done for certain employees.

Please advice.

Regards,
Sairam.

Thanks for the reply.

did CMAP for the respective employee.

Even then also im facving the same problem.

While doing CMAP what I have observed is…For some months..it is showing up some caution message and telling the for some employees it was not properly mapped.Then also i saved it and moved further.Finally required output didnt come.

Please advice.

Regards,
Sairam.

Just execute the challan mapping transaction (CMAP) in the last option, assign the concerned Comapn or PA and execute, after doing the same you may able to say whether these employee are taken in challan mapping or not. Please note, dont save the challan mapping only check.
If these emplyee were taken in challan mapping you have to remap again for these reported PERNRs.

Regds,

Ok, Confirm me the following
a) is /460 generated of these employees or not?
b) If yes, then while challan mapping (last option), if you are assigning PERNR and exeucting are you able to see the PERNR under tax deduction details, yes or not, if yes, then check the mapping TDS amount and verify then mapp and save.

Dear Consultant,

/460 is generating for these employees.

Already did the same,what u mentioned in 2 nd point.But no result.

Seems there is a possibility to have a values in a specified format which we can upload the txt file through pc00_m40_f16.

Could you please share the format to upload tds details or any other option to solve it.

Regrads,
Sairam.

Hi,

Sorry for delay,you mentioned how to see employee in PCL4 Relid i2,Go to Relid i2 and execute and in the column PCLx key you can see Your TAN No.,Date of payroll period and Employee no, for Eg:-

Tan no Pay period PERNR
MUMXXXXXXX 20100401 20100430 00000002

These values are all clubbed together so you have to find your emp with the period where his tax was deducted and he being mapped for challan and 24Q AND if you are not able to see your employees you will have to do some workaround,

Don't know why it is not happening in your case, even though you may upload the tax details,

Sample is given below for your ref.
employee co.code for period for period start date for period end date i.tax sur

How can we see the structure of RT, CRT, CNIC, NIC

2011-07-16T23:09:00.000-07:00

Can anyone tell me How can we see the structure of RT, CRT, CNIC, NIC cluster tables in PAYROLL. Pls let me know the navigation to see the structure.

Answer:

T.Code is PC_PAYRESULT

here u can see all the payroll table for the payroll period.

Hello

You can check the same in Function GBNIC processing in the payroll log,which gives you the details of the RT/NIC/CNIC.
Once payroll is processed,in the display log,serach for ’GBNIC’. Expand the same,and select OUTPUT.Here you get all the required details,

For drilling in the payroll clusters (PCL2 or RGDIR) after running the payroll-
Goto Payroll Log -> End Processing -> EXPRT -> Input

Here you can find all the clusters which are updated during the payroll run (RT, CRT, IT,BT etc)

If you want to see the structure of the RT then you can goto SE11 and can look for the table PC207 for the technical details of the table RT.

2.Details of Tax Deducted and Deposited into Central Government Account

This section displays the:

¡Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)

¡Surcharge

¡Education Cess

¡Total Tax Deposited

¡Cheque/DD No. (if any)

¡BSR Code of Bank Branch

¡Date on Which Tax Deposited

¡Transfer Voucher/Challan Identification Number

The two sections mentioned above form the main part of Form 16. The following two reports are also printed along with Form 16:

3.Annexure to Form No. 16

This report displays, the amounts for the different components of:

¡Emoluments Paid

¡Perks

¡Income from Other Sources declared by the employee and processed in the payroll runs

¡Exemptions u/s 10

4.Form No. 12BA

This report is a statement showing particulars of:

¡Perquisites

¡Other fringe benefits or amenities

¡Profits in lieu of salary

A copy of the Form 16 is given to the employee by the employer at the end of the financial year or on termination of the employee.

Form No. 16AA contains a Header and a Footer.

Form No. 16AA is printed for employees for whom both of the following conditions are fulfilled:

●Have an annual income less than INR 150,000

●Do not have any income from other sources to be processed by the SAP payroll

●Multiple Form 16

If you have implemented the SAP Payroll across a group of companies, you can issue separate Form 16 to an employee for the period of his or her employment in each of these companies.

If you are already live with the SAP Payroll, you can enable Multiple Form 16from the beginning of the financial year, example, from April 1, 2002.

Once you have enabled Multiple Form 16, you should not revert it.

If an employee has been with the same group for discontinuous periods in the same financial year, the employee will get a separate Form 16 for each continuous employment with a Group. For example, an employee has been with:

¡Group 1 of ABC between April 1, 2001 - July 31, 2001

¡Group 2 of ABC between August 1, 2001 - December 31, 2001

¡Group 1 of ABC between January 1, 2002 - March 31, 2002.

In this case, the employee will get three separate Form 16, two from Group 1 and one from Group 2.

Cost Distribution (Infotype 0027)

2011-04-08T21:10:00.000-07:00

In the infotype Cost Distribution (0027), you can determine how costs for an employee are to be distributed to different cost centers. At any one time, you can distribute appropriate percentage costs to up to 25 different cost centers. For more information, see the following section in the PY-Payroll Accounting documentation:

Cross-Company Code Transactions

Several company codes may be involved in a payroll run for an employee.

This may occur in the following situations:

An employee works in different company codes for part of the time.
An employee changes company code during a payroll period.

In these cases, the expenses are distributed proportionately to the company codes in question. The payables are only assigned to the company code in which the employee worked on the last day of the payroll period. This is usually the company code for the master cost center. This results in balances in the respective document split accounts and/or recalculation difference accounts.

In the Cost Distribution infotype (0027), you have specified that the employee has worked for cost center A2 in company code 0002 for 30% of the time. In the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001), the master cost center is entered as A1 in the company code 0001. In this example, 70% of the expense is posted to cost center A1 in company code 0001 and 30% of the expense is posted to cost center A2 in company code 0002. The bank transfer is effected in accordance with the employee’s organizational assignment and is posted to the company code 0001 as a payable.

Subtypes are used to differentiate between costs that should be distributed. The standard system contains the following costs as subtypes:

Subtype 01: Wage/salary
Subtype 02: Travel expenses

Cost Distribution

By entering a value in the field Distr., you determine the costs to which the cost distribution is referring.

You determine the cost distribution by entering the following values in the lines that are numbered consecutively by the system.

CoCd (Company code)
BA (Business area)

Cost ctr (Cost center)
Prcnt. (Cost center percentage rate)

You can use the function keys to scroll down a total of three pages, insert lines, attach, or delete. The cost center that has been entered in the distributor on the single screen under number 01, is displayed on the list screen.

you create a Cost Distribution (0027) infotype record, you must first ensure that company codes, controlling areas, and cost centers have already been set up.

Real Time in the sence of SAP or IT or Domain. You should have asked him the question, Ok it should be SAP for interview For SAP Consultant.

As in normal people has to sit on the requirement of he position and then shorlist all the applications, it also helps to know the internal employees to call for intvs and the best way of shorlisting is going for Profile Match Ups, and reruitment is useful for integration with all other modules for PD, PY also for relevant reports and up gradations.

Even rect modules will be able to send the recruiter a POP up saying the Position is vacant and it should be filled with requirement.

I got struck in PB10 initial entry screen. While assigning personnel officer by default its showing the standard one like APPL’’’’s admin group only. Its now accepting what I have created under PA define admin group and I assigned under define admn group also (PINCH).

Once you assign your administrator group under PINCH, please check whether you activated or not and also check your groupings.

Dynamic Action
Here, you control the initiation of actions when maintaining an infotype record. This can be the maintenance of an additional infotype record or performing a routine. For each action, you can determine whether it is always carried out when
you change an infotype or a subtype or whether it is only carried out if you change certain fields.
You can state whether the action is to be carried out for "Change", "Create" and/or "Delete" record. You can store the conditions for executing the action, for example, the comparison of the old and new value of a field. Finally, you can also specify default values for a record that is to be created.

I am facing problem in PA40. While entering the inputs in Personal data in hiring action, I am having the field which is called " CUIL/ CUIT" ( Which it shows key field) . I do not know about this field and how to enter the data in this field. I would like to remove this field from personnel data. IIIly i am having one more field in Bank details in hiring action, I am having the field " Bank Key " I would like to know how to delete/ remove this field from the action, or else how to input the data in this field.

I don’’’’t know how to remove this field. But I can suggest you can hide this field by using the following path. Not only this you can hide any field in your screens.
SPRO-->personnel management-- >personnel administration- ->change
screen modifications; HERE
Mod.pool---- ------ MP000200
Screen ------------ 2000
Feature----- ------- P0002
Variable key----- 29
Alt.screen-- -------2029
Next screen------ 0
Then execute details, in 011 -- Q0002-CCUIL -- Worker identification code -- activate Hide checkbox.
You can use screen modifications and hide the field. after you hide it and save the settings, CCUIL will not be seen on the screen. Same procedure can be used for bank key too. for your information, the various field options are required field, optional field, hide etc.

Which time we have to consider while login time
1) swiping machine recorded time

If an company is going for both the systems, first the company want to decided to go for swapping card system or system log in time, if you required the both, then you discuss with the time administrator to design for both, as per the company requirement the time administrator will decided.

A change in one field of an infotype might require, that certain other infotype be updated at the same time. The details can be specified as a dynamic event. It is automatically triggered by the system.

*Examples: *

The Personal Data infotype is newly created, and the Number of children field is filled. Once the record is saved, the system automatically displays the Family/Related Person (0021) infotype and the Child subtype (2) for processing.

Simple Maintenance is used when Staff assignments and reporting structure are to be changed. There are three main areas in Simple Maintenance. Each area contains particular maintenance functions, depending on whether you want to edit organizational structure, staff assignments or task profiles. For Organizational Management users, Simple Maintenance is best used to establish the basic framework in organizational plan development. For complete, detailed editing of individual organizational objects in your organizational plan (editing particular positions or organizational units, for example), we recommend that you switch to Info-type Maintenance. Simple maintenance uses a tree structure, which allows you to create a basic framework for organizational plans, using streamlined procedures. In this way, we can create an organizational and reporting structures step by step.

2. What is the use of INFOGROUPS?

The infotype group (commonly known as infogroup) guarantees that during the personnel action, all information needed for the business processes is stored. The infogroup is processed when you perform a personnel action. - An infogroup exists in the standard system for every personnel action type. - In Customizing for Personnel Administration, you can tailor the make-up of the various infogroups to the requirements of your company. - You can define infogroups as user-group dependent. Infogroups are used in Personnel Actions to define a set of sequencial infotypes that you would be using while performing an action. For example, when you hire, you would want to use IT0000,0001,0002,0006,0007,0008 etc in a sequence- in a particular order. So define an Infogroup for this purpose which contains all these infotypes, their order of execution and the user groups it is applicable for. Then you assign this infogroup to the action that you had defined.

3. What is PROCESSING CLASS, where we do them and why?

Wage type characteristic that determines how processing is conducted during the payroll run.

4. What is EVALUTION PATH, where do we do it and why?

A chain of relationships between objects in a hierarchical structure. for eg. O-S-P(Organization->Position->Person).

5. What is INTERNAL PAYROLL PROCESS?

Payroll process(program) is run at a specific point in time, not only to calculate an employee’s basic remuneration but also any special payments, overtime payments or bonuses that must be effected for the period in question.

Interview QA -14

2011-03-26T03:16:00.000-07:00

:Payroll Results

How do you post the payroll results to FICO? I created one symbolic account and assigned the
same to Salaries GL Account and then completed the other configuration steps needed to complete
the procedure. However, when I tried to run the simulation for posting to FICO, I got the message
“Document is not generated”.
A: If you have selected “Output Log” at the beginning of your configuration procedure, it will tell you at the bottom part what went wrong.

Q:Components

What is the basis of valuation of certain wage components such as Provident Fund? Where does
one configure it? A corollary question is what if another component – i.e., Special Allowance is
made as basis of calculation at another time? How is this configured?
A: Go to view V_T511 wage type char and read the F1 help for field Indirect Evaluation module. Module PRZNT will be applicable in this case. Also read help for V_T539J. Both these nodes can be found under Payroll Date>Basic Pay.

Q: Deduction Wage Type

We have a deduction wage type displayed in the window of our pay slip that shows a negative value.
This causes problems and we have tried several measures to correct this including conversion rule 16 for our wage type in the same window but so far, without any success. How can we correct or delete the negative sign?
A: You can review OSS Note 406977.
This is a collective note of issues with RPCEDTx0 with examples of problems and solutions.

Q: Payroll Simulation

How do I correct the payroll simulation entry and check the correctness of our master data? What if one
hundred employees get rejected due to error 167-process health plans. What does the following error
mean?
“No entry for plan DENT/cost variant.
FMDN/key////x00000000000000”
A: You should check for the cost element associated and the validity of cost rule for this plan. To do this,
check your configuration under Benefits>Plans>Health Plans>Define cost variant and define cost rules.

Q:Leave Quota

How do I make sure that if an employee goes over the limit of a leave quota , the future leave accrual will be
reflected accurately?
A:Configure the negative deduction and check these through the rules.

Q:IT0015

I need to capture a reason in additional payment IT0015. The reason code is “save” in this infotype.
I tried to capture for reason A Example to ADDWT 9999 if Reason ADDWT9998. How can I check the
reason in IT0015 for accuracy?
A: You can try using this to start with: ‘TABLEP0015> VARGBPREAS’
Then, use the variable key to define the different reasons.

Q:Payroll Simulation

Why is the system not picking up the values changed this month by default during payroll simulation? However, when I tried last month’s retro date, it picks up correctly. How can this issue be corrected?
A: You can check the “Earliest MD change” date on infotype 0003. If you have done that already and
payroll simulation still doesn’t function by default, then there is a problem with your infotype and/or wage type
retro settings. Check table T582A.

Q:Single Payroll

Is it possible to configure a single payroll to pay an individual in multiple currencies?
A: No. The system can be configured to pay in multiple currencies but not to pay an individual in multiple
currencies.

Technical Sequence for Processing Averages

2011-03-22T04:22:00.000-07:00

Technical Sequence for Processing Averages

Averages are processed in the following sequence:

Creating Bases for Calculating Averages
Specifying the wage types to be valuated using the averages principle
Defining calculation rules
Calculating the averages
Special processing for frozen averages

Creating Bases for Calculating Averages

Primary wage types to be included in the average bases are cumulated in one of the secondary wage types for average bases in accordance with the entries you have made. This cumulation is performed in each payroll period for each employee. The average bases are stored in internal table RT at the end of payroll accounting, and can be used again for future calculations performed in accordance with the principle of averages.

Specifying the Wage Types to be Valuated using the Averages Principle

Subschema XT00 (Processing of Time Data for Payroll Accounting) is accessed by personnel calculation schema X000. The calculation rule X015 (Valuation of Time Wage Types) constitutes the first action relevant to the calculation of averages.

The X sign appears in the following text in a number of schemas, functions, and personnel calculation rules. This abbreviation represents the country indicator and the international versions of the schemas, functions, and calculation rules. Only use schema XT00, function XMOD, or payroll rule X015 if schemas, functions, and payroll rules have not been set up for your country or if you do not want to use country-specific functionality that has been set up in your system.

The personnel calculation rule X015 determines whether the internal table IT contains time wage types that should be valuated according to the principle of averages. The contents of the value fields AMT (Amount), NUM (Number), and RTE (Rate) are checked using decision operations AMT?0, NUM?0 and RTE?0.

If the AMT field contains a value, the wage type will be transferred with the operation ADDWT.

If the AMT field does not contain a value, but the NUM and RTE fields do contain values, the value in the NUM field will be multiplied by the value in the RTE field. The result is entered in the Total Amount field and the wage type is transferred with the operation ADDWT.

If only the NUM field contains a value, the operation VALBS queries whether a valuation basis has been entered in table T512W for the wage type. If this is the case, the wage type is valuated using the appropriate valuation basis. If a valuation basis has not been specified, but a specification has been entered for processing class 15, the wage type is valuated in accordance with the principle of averages. In this respect, operation GCY is used to access payroll rule X016 (Special Processing for the Valuation of Time Wage Types).

Only the wage types meeting the following conditions are calculated according to the principle of averages:

Only the NUM field (Number) contains a value.

No valuation basis has been entered.

A specification has been entered for processing class 15.

Defining calculation rules

After defining which wage types are to be valuated according to the principle of averages, the average value calculation rules are defined. This is carried out by the decision operation VWTCL° 15 in the calculation rule X016. This decision operation queries processing class 15. Wage types that are to be evaluated using the principle of averages, are coded in processing class 15 with a particular specification. The operation MEANV <nn> is called for each specification. In this operation, nn stands for a calculation rule from the Calculation Rules for Averages view (V_T511A). Depending on the calculation rule, operation MEANV <nn> performs the actual calculation of average values.

Your wage type has specification 1 in processing class 15. You have entered personnel calculation rules X017 (Relevancy Test for Averages), X018 (Calculation of averages after cumulation) and the cumulation type 01 (from the Cumulation rules for bases for calculating average values view (V_T511B)) for calculation rule 01. You have also specified that 3 previous periods should be taken into account when the averages are calculated. In rule X016, the operation MEANV 01 is assigned to specification 1. Using parameter 01, calculation rule 01 is determined using personnel calculation rules X017 and X018, cumulation type 01, and 3 previous periods. Operation MEANV performs the calculation of averages on the basis of these entries.

Calculating the averages

Operation MEANV performs the following steps when calculating averages:

The internal table MV is queried and this determines whether averages have already been calculated for the employee concerned within the current payroll period using the same average calculation rule.

– If this is the case, the value that has already been determined is entered in the RTE field (rate).

– If this is not the case, step 2 is performed.

The internal table IT is queried and this determines whether the Average Value wage type exists for the employee concerned (from the Calculation Rules for Averages view (V_T511A)).

– If this is the case, the value is entered in the RTE field (rate).

– If this is not the case, step 3 is performed.

The individual

periods

are processed.

a. Each previous period to be processed is imported, starting with the current period - 1

b. The relevancy test is performed.

c. If the period is relevant, the cumulation takes place using the cumulation rule.

The system checks whether the maximum number of periods to be taken into account has been reached.

– If this is not the case, return to step 2.

The

final processing of averages

is performed:

a. The average is calculated using personnel calculation rule X016 for final processing of averages from the Calculation Rules for Averages view (V_T511A).

b. The value is entered in the RTE (Rate) field for the wage type to be valuated.

When the calculation of averages has finished, an average value is entered in the value RTE field (Rate) for the appropriate wage type. This average value is used to effect a valuation (usually of absences). To do this, the values in the RTE and NUM fields are multiplied.

Special Processing for Frozen Averages

Special processing for frozen averages is dependent on the specification of a wage type in processing class 15. If a wage type has specification A in processing class 15, the decision operation ABEVL? will be queried in the calculation rule X016.

Decision operation ABEVL? determines whether an employee’s absence is outside the current period and returns a value as the result of the query. You can trigger different absence valuations depending on this value.

The following absence valuations have been set up in personnel calculation rule X016 for the return values 0, 1, 2, and 3.

1. The absence begins and ends in the current period.

Operation MEANV calculates the average.

2. The absence begins in the current period and ends in the next period.

In this instance, the average value is calculated for the current period and frozen for the next period.

– Operation MEANV calculates the average.

– Operation ZERO=NA sets the NUM (Number) and AMT (Amount) fields to zero.

– Operation ELIMI deletes split indicators.

– Operation ADDNAE/02A transfers the value from the RTE field (Rate) to wage type /02A and saves the value in the internal table RT. By placing the value in this wage type, the rate , in other words, the average value, is frozen and can be re-used in the next period to valuate the same absence.

3. The absence begins in the previous period, continues through the current period, and ends in the next period.

The absence is first valuated in the current period using the frozen average value from the previous period. The average value is then frozen again for the next period.

– Operation RTE=L /02A reads wage type /02A, in which the average value of the previous period was fixed, from internal table LRT.

– Operation MULTI NRA multiplies the Rate field (RTE), in other words, the average value, by the Number field (NUM), in other words, the number of absence hours or absence days. The result is entered and stored in the Amount field (AMT).

– Operation ZERO=NA sets the NUM (Number) and AMT (Amount) fields to zero.

– Operation ELIMI deletes split indicators.

4. The absence starts in the previous period and ends in the current period.

The absence is valuated using the frozen average value of the previous period.

Operation RTE=L /02A reads wage type /02A, in which the average value of the previous period was fixed, from internal table LRT.

Operation MULTI NRA multiplies the Rate field (RTE), in other words, the average value, by the Number field (NUM), in other words, the number of absence hours or absence days. The result is entered and stored in the Amount field (AMT).

main HR authorisation objects

2011-03-21T23:00:00.000-07:00

Some of the main HR authorisation objects are:

Object: PLOG Personnel Planning
Fields: PLVAR Plan Version
OTYPE Object Type
INFOTYP Infotype
SUBTYP Subtype
ISTAT Planning Status
PPFCODE Function Code

Definition:
The present object is used by the authorization check for PD data.

Field Details:
PLVAR - Plan version This field defines which plan version(s) the user may access.
OTYPE - Object type This field defines which object types the user may access.
INFOTYP - Infotype This field defines, which infotypes, that is, attributes, of an object the users (generally) may access.
SUBTYP - Subtype This field determines which subtypes the user may access for given infotypes.

Relationships are special subtypes for infotype 1001. Consequently, the relationships for which a user should have access authorization can also be limited in this field.
ISTAT_D - Planning status This field determines in which planning status the user may access information.
OKCODE - Function code This field defines for which type of information processing (Display, Change ) the user is authorized.
The possible values are defined in table T77FC. This protection against unauthorized access is extended by the structural authorization check. Two types of function codes are distinguished in HR management. By marking the processing method Maintenance in table T77FC the function codes are indicated, with which objects may be maintained within the structure; Otherwise, only Display is allowed. The function code has effects in connection with the structural authorization. In table
T77PR, authorization profiles can be indicated which are to have maintenance authorization for the structure. Without this authorization, you can only display structures. Consequently, the overall authorization results from the intersection between basis authorization and structural authorization.

Object: P_ABAP HR: Reporting

Fields: REPID ABAP Program Name
COARS Degree of simplification for authorization check

Definition:
The authorization object HR reporting (P_ABAP) is used in many ways:
HR Reporting with HR Reporting are reports with the RE.SAPDBPNP logical database PNP .
Report: RPUAUD00 Logged changes in infotype data
Processing person-related data using payment medium programs from Accounting.
To 1. You can use the relevant authorization for these objects to control how the objects UO.P_ORGIN HR: Master data (P_ORGIN), UO.P_ORGXX HR: Master data - extended check (P_ORGXX) and CHAP.OHIX0010 structural authorization check are used in specified reports to check the authorization for INFTY HR infotypes . In this way, you can carry out a fine-tuned control on reports for infotype authorization. This can be useful for functional reasons or to improve
performance at runtime of the corresponding reports.
For this object, specify the report name(s) and the degree of simplification to be used for the authorization check.

Note:
Note that this object differs from the object UO.S_PROGRAM ABAP: Program run checks . The latter is used for general program authorization checks. In HR reports, these checks are carried out in addition to the HR infotype authorization check. HR: Reporting , however, overrides the HR infotype authorization check for selected reports, with the result that the authorization checks are weakened or completely switched off.

Examples:
In your company, the authorization for infotypes is, for example, independent of the authorization for specific organizational units (one administrator may be authorized to access address, personal and education data only for personnel area 0101 - but not for address data in personnel area 0101 and personal data in personnel area 0102). If you enter 1 in the Degree of
simplification field, the above facts are taken into account in the specified report and the check is carried out more quickly for a user with this authorization. If certain HR reports are not critical (telephone lists etc.) and authorization protection is not required, enter the report name and = * in the Degree of simplification field. The system then checks whether the person starting the report is authorized to do so (object - ABAP/4: Program run checks), but performs no other checks (object - HR: Master data).

In your company, one user may have access to all HR infotype data. For this user, enter * in the Report name and Degree of simplification fields. The system then only checks whether this user is authorized to start the report in question but not whether he/she is authorized to display the requested HR infotype data.

A time adminstrator should carry out time evaluations (report HR: Time - time evaluation (RPTIME00) for employees with the organizational key 0001TIMEXXX . For certain additional information that is needed internally (the program user either cannot see this, or can only partially see it), the Basic pay infotype (0008)must be imported, for example, to time
evaluation. To carry out time evaluation, the administrator must therefore have display authorization for the Basic pay infotype (0008). If the administrator is not to have display authorization for this infotype, the read authorization for the Basic pay infotype can be restricted for individuals with the organizational key 0001TIMEXXX for the report HR: Time - Time
evaluation (RPTIME00). For this, use the following authorization

Object HR: Master data (P_ORGIN) (two authorizations)
Infotype 0008 ’ ’
Subtype * ’ ’
Authorization level R ’ ’
Organizational key ’ ’ 0001TIMEXXX

Object HR: Reporting (P_ABAP)
Report name RPTIME00
Degree of simplification 1

In this way, a simple check is carried out for the authorization check infotype in conjunction with the report HR: Time - Time evaluation (RPTIME00): The infotype, subtype, level are checked, and then, independently, the organizational assignment (in the example, the Organizational key field) (according to degree of simplification 1 ). In report HR: Time - Time evaluation
(RPTIME00), infotype Basic pay (0008) can also be read. However, if the check is not in conjunction with the report HR: Time – Time evaluation (RPTIME00), all fields of the object HR:

Master data (P_ORGIN) are checked together, but in this way there is no read access to the Basic pay infotype (0008). TO 2. Evaluations of the logged changes in infotype data are subject to infotype authorization checks. However, usually, someone, who starts such an evaluation, has extensive authorizations. In this case, it is useful, in order to ensure improved
performance, to do without the check of individual data and instead, grant the user global authorization for logging evaluations using the report Logged changes in the infotype data (RPUAUD00). For this, use an authorization for the object, by specifying the value RPUAUD00 in the Report name field, and the value 2 in the Degree of Simplification field. To 3 The payment medium program of accounting processes, in particular, confidential personal data. In addition the check to see whether the user is authorized to start the program, a check to see whether the corresponding authorization exists for the object is also carried out, as an additionl security measure : The name of the payment medium program must be entered in the Program name field, the value 2 (or * must be entered in the Degree of simplification field.

RESRF Personnel officer responsible for application

Definition:
This object is used for the applicant data authorization check. This check is carried out when INFTY applicant infotypes are edited or read. When a transaction for editing applicant data is accessed, the system first checks whether the user has the minimum authorization. Depending on the transaction this may be write authorization or read authorization ( AUTHC_D authorization level = ’*’ or R). If the user has the minimum authorization, a further and more detailed authorization check is carried out within the transaction itself.

Definition:
The object HR: Master data (P_ORGIN) is used for authorization checks of personal data. Checks are performed only when INFTY HR infotypes are edited or read.
When you call up a transaction for editing of personal data, the system checks that you at least have one read authorization ( AUTHC_D authorization level R). If you do, a more specific authorization check is carried out within the transaction. In HR reports that use the <DS:RE.SAPDBPNP logical database PNP , the system checks whether the user has a read
authorization for all infotypes before it displays the selection screen. This is then followed by a more precise check for each selected person. The authorization objects .S_PROGRAM ABAP/4:

Program run checks and UO.P_ABAP HR:
Reporting must also be taken into account.
Note that values specified for the individual fields do not generally contain other values. The value ’ ’ must therefore be specified explicitly. The value ’ ’ must always be used for the subtype field (reason: the field is initial if the infotype does not support any subtypes, or if the subtype has not been specified).

Calculation Rules for Factors-/801

2011-03-08T05:35:00.000-08:00

Personnel calculation rule xPPF is accessed in factoring schemas xAL0 and xxAL and used to calculate factors. Depending on the check results from operation PPPAR, personnel calculation rule xPPF accesses personnel calculation rule xPPP, xPP0, or xPP1.

To edit the factoring schema choose Customizing, then Payroll Accounting®Payroll ® Factoring ® Reduction Formulas ®Create Reduction Factor.

Checking Factoring Criteria

Before factoring takes place, you must check the criteria according to which remuneration is reduced or calculated for an exact period. The standard system provides the personnel calculation rules xPPF, xPPP, and xPP0 for this.

Operation PPPAR is used for querying. Its parameters enable you to check your employee’s period-specific factoring situations, and then decide whether to proceed with or without factoring.

The following table gives the input parameters for operation PPPAR

Occurrence	Parameter
Employee joins company and legal person changes within a period	E
Employee joins company and legal person changes on the first day of the period.	C:
Employee leaves company in current period	A:
Employee leaves company in next period
Employee leaves company on 1st day of next period	F
Unpaid absence	U
Paid absence	B:
Inactive work relationship during whole period	R
Capacity utilization level changes during a period	G
Capacity utilization level changes on first day of period	D
Weekly working hours change within a period	I
Weekly working hours change on first day of period	H
Employee group or employee subgroup changes	M
The length of the period on which the wage types in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) are based is not the same as the length of the period for the payroll area (Organizational Assignment infotype, 0001)
There are at least 2 basic pay records in the current period	8
There is at least 1 WPBP split; in other words, one of the following infotypes has changed: – Events infotype (0000) – Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) – Planned Working Time infotype (0007) – Basic Pay infotype (0008) – Cost Distribution infotype (0027)

A factor is not calculated unless a factoring situation arises. Since the factor is set to 1, the whole amount of the appropriate primary wage type is paid.

If a factoring situation arises, the appropriate calculation is performed for the secondary wage type /80n specified as a variable key in the personnel calculation rule.

A factor is calculated for each secondary wage type /8nn.

In accordance with the calculations, the Rate (RTE) field is updated in the input table (IT) for each secondary wage type /8nn.

The standard system contains the country-specific calculation rules xPPF, xPP1 and xPP0 to be used in different factoring situations.

PWS Method

If the PWS method is employed, individual, actual planned working time according to the employee’s personal work schedule (table PSP) is used as the divisor (DIVI).

If payroll is run for monthly periods and this calculation method is used, the employee has a lower reduction amount in periods with less planned working time (short months) than in periods with more planned working time (long months). The standard system contains country-specific calculation rules based on the PWS method.

Criteria for using this method

The PWS method is particularly suitable for reductions if planned working time is specified exactly and you enter all deviations from planned working time in the system.

Deviations that frequently occur from planned working time are constituted by changes in the following infotypes:

Absences infotype (2001)

Substitutions infotype (2003)

Planned Working Time infotype (0007)

The PWS method is also suitable for calculating partial payments for exact periods.

Factor

The factor for the PWS method is calculated as follows:

Planned working time - absence or partial period
Factor	=	--------------------------------
Individual period working time

You can use Working Hours (S), Working Days (A) or Calendar Days (K) as the calculation unit. You should only use working hours as the calculation unit for absences lasting less than one day.

Payment Method

If the payment method is employed, the employee is remunerated for the period actually worked or for paid absences. A general constant (DIVP) is used as the divisor:

If the payroll is run for monthly periods, the general divisor determines that each calculation unit (hour or day) has the same value, irrespective of whether the period is a short or long month.

Criteria for using this method

The payment method is suitable for use in the following situations:

If the employee has taken unpaid absence for more than 10 days.
The actual length of the period is not different from the general length of the period (for example, weekly payment).

The payment method is not suitable to use in the following situations:

Payroll is run for an employee on a monthly basis (monthly or half-monthly) and the employee has only a few unpaid absences.

In this case, in short months (for example, February) the employee could work almost the entire period and still earn considerably less.

In long months (for example, July) remuneration could be calculated and the amount could exceed the basic remuneration amount for the period, despite the absences.

Partial payments must be calculated for exact periods.

The employee would receive an amount that is different from the amount of remuneration effected for the period because the number of hours or days does not correspond to the average.

Factor

The factor for the payment method is calculated as follows:

Planned working time - absence
Factor	=	-----------------------
General period working time

You can use Working Hours (S), Working Days (A) or Calendar Days (K) as the calculation unit. For absences that last less than one day, you should only use calculation unit S.. You can use the average values typical for your particular country, industry, or company as general period working time.

Deduction Method

If the deduction method is employed, a prorata amount is deducted from employee remuneration for the period of his or her unpaid absence. A general constant (DIVP) is used as the divisor:

If the payroll is run for monthly periods, the general divisor determines that each calculation unit (hour or day) has the same value, irrespective of whether the period is a short or long month.

Criteria for using this method

The payment method is suitable to use in the following situations:

The employee has been absent without pay for more than 10 days.
The actual length of the period is not different from the general length of the period (for example, weekly payment).

The payment method is not suitable to use in the following situations:

Payroll is run for an employee on a monthly basis (monthly or half-monthly) and the employee has only a few unpaid absences.

In this case, in short months (for example, February) the employee could work almost the entire period and still earn considerably less.

In long months (for example, July) remuneration could be calculated and the amount could exceed the basic remuneration amount for the period, despite the absences.

Partial payments must be calculated for exact periods.

The employee would receive an amount that is different from the remuneration amount for the period because the number of hours or days does not correspond to the average.

Partial Period Factor

The factor for the deduction method is calculated as follows:

Calculation of factor

Absence
Factor	=	1 -----------------------
General period working time

General period working time - absence
=	------------------------------
General period working time

You can use Working Hours (S) or Working Days (A) as the calculation unit. For absences that last less than one day, you should only use calculation unit S..

You can use the average values typical for your particular country, industry, or company as general period working time.

Comparison of Factoring Methods

The question of which factoring method to use is extremely important, particularly if payroll is run for monthly periods.

Gertrude Jones has unpaid leave from February 3 to March 29. This means that she works just 2 days in both February (20 workdays) and March (23 workdays). Her basic monthly salary (b) is 3,252.00. Her weekly working time is set as 37 hours.

Parameter values in hours

Parameter	February	March
Planned working time (SSOLL)	148	172
Absence (SAU)	132	156
Individual period working time (SDIVI)	148	172
General period working time (SDIVP)	167.7	167.7

Reductions using different methods

Method	Calculations	February salary	March salary
PWS	Factor: a = (SSOLL-SAU**)/SDIVI	0.108	0.093
Reduced remuneration: b x a	351.56	302.51
Payment	Factor: a = (SSOLL-SAU**)/SDIVP	0.095	0.095
Reduced remuneration: b x a	310.26	310.26
Deduction	Factor: a = (SDIVP-SAU**)/SDIVP	0.213	0.070
Reduced remuneration: b x a	692.28	227.64

If the payment method is employed, Gertrude Jones receives the same amount of remuneration for both months. If the deduction method is employed, she is significantly overpaid in February and significantly underpaid in March. If the PWS method is used, she would still receive a higher salary in February than in March, however the difference would be significantly lower than when using the deduction method.

Mary Brown receives a base monthly salary of 5,456.00 and has a general period working time of 22 workdays. She changes cost center on the 16th of a month containing 23 workdays.

Calculations using different methods

Partial period in workdays	Factoring method	Factor	Standard salary
1-15 = 11	Payment method	(23-11)/22 = 12/22	2976.00
Deduction Method	(22-11)/22 = 11/22	2728.00
PWS Method	(23-11)/23 = 12/23	2846.60
16-30 = 12	Payment method	(23-12)/22 = 11/22	2728.00
Deduction Method	(22-12)/22 = 10/22	2480.00
PWS Method	(23-12)/23 = 11/23	2609.40
Total using payment method	5704.00
Total using deduction method	5208.00
Total using PWS method	5456.00

The above table shows that payment and deduction methods are not suitable when calculating period-specific remuneration for exact partial periods. Only the PWS method gives an exact result.

Reduction Rules

Structure of reduction rules

Operation	Operation	Operation
RTE=<a>	RTE-<b>	RTE?<n>

Values for placeholders a and b

Calculation method	Period	Operations for working hours	Operations for workdays	Operations for calendar days
Hybrid	Partial period	a=TSSOLL b=TSAU**	a=TASOLL b=TAAU**	a=TKSOLL b=TKAU**
Whole period	a=GSSOLL b=GSAU**	a=GASOLL b=GAAU**	a=GKSOLL b=GKAU**
All or nothing	Whole period	a=GSSOLL b=GSAU**	a=GASOLL b=GAAU**	a=GKSOLL b=GKAU**

The value you assign to n determines whether the payment or deduction method is subsequently used for the hybrid method, and whether the factor is set to either 1 or 0 for the all or nothing method.

Hybrid of Payment and Deduction Methods

If payroll is run for monthly periods and you only use the deduction method or the payment method for factoring, then problems may occur. As a result, a hybrid of both methods is often used, depending on the absence. This is shown in the following table:

Absence in workdays	Factoring method
Up to 10	Deduction method
More than 10	Payment method

However, this procedure also causes problems because changing from the deduction to the payment method gives rise to great differences in the amount of remuneration effected. This can lead to difficult situations.

Mary Brown receives a base monthly salary of 5,456.00 and has a general period working time of 22 workdays. In a month that contains 23 workdays, she has an unpaid absence of 10 workdays.

Reductions using different methods

Absence days	Factoring method	Factor	Standard salary
10	Deduction method	(22-10)/22 = 12/22	2976
11	Payment method	(23-11)/22 = 12/22	2976

The calculation shows: If Mary Brown took an unpaid absence of 11 days, she would earn exactly the same amount as if she had taken an unpaid absence of 10 workdays.

All or Nothing Method

If the all or nothing method is employed, the employee receives either the entire wage type amount or nothing at all. A criterion for entitlement to the entire amount could, for example, be a minimum period that the employee must have worked. If the condition is met, the factor is 1. If the condition is not met, the factor is 0.

Criteria for using this method

The all or nothing method is suitable to use in the following situations:

Cost transfer of travel allowance
If the employer pays a savings plan allowance

Factoring Parameter

2011-03-08T05:19:00.000-08:00

SAP lets you to generate 16 factoring wage types.

/801=(planned working time-unpaid absences)/monthly working time (in calendar days)
/802=(planned working time-unpaid absences)/monthly working time (in working days)
/801=(planned working time-unpaid absences)/monthly working time (in working hours)
/804 = in this case unpaid absences will not be subtracted & will be used in pcr IN72-->Nominal cumulations.

The formula, with which the partial period factor is determined, is filled as follows:

Planned working time

Planned working time is determined using table PSP (Personal Work Schedule). The values of the planned working time parameter can be different for employees in the same period if they have different personal work schedules.

Flat rate period working time

The flat rate period working time is determined using table WPBP (Work Center/Basic Pay).

Absence

In reductions, absence means the working time during which an employee was not at work and did not get paid. The absence is paid out in counting classes.

Partial period

If remuneration elements are calculated for exact periods, employee remuneration is calculated separately for specific partial periods. These partial periods are determined using table WPBP (Work Center/Basic Pay).

Divisors

The flat rate or individual period working time is used as a divisor in accordance with table PSP (Personal Work Schedule).

The parameters have the following meaning:

Value of whole period	Value of a partial period	Meaning
GSSOLL	TSSOLL	Planned working time in hours
GASOLL	TASOLL	Planned working time in work days
GKSOLL	TKSOLL	Planned working time in calendar days
GSAU**	TSAU**	Unpaid absence in hours for all counting classes

HR Support -Issues

2011-03-08T04:45:00.000-08:00

Handling tickets is called Issue Tracking system. The errors or bugs forwarded by the end user to the support team are prioritized under three seviority High, Medium and Low. Each and every seviority as got its time limits before that we have to fix the error.

The main job of the supporting consultant is to provide assistance on line to the customer or the organisation where SAP is already implemented for which the person should be very strong in the subject and the process which are implemented in SAP at the client side to understand,to analyse,to actuate and to give the right solution in right time.This is the job of the support consultant.

The issues or the tickets(problems) which are arised is taken care of on priority basis by the support team consultants.
The work process in support projects are given below for your reference.
1. The customer or the end user logs a call through any tool or by mail (RADIX).
2. Each one of the support team is a part of support group.
3. Whenever a customer logs a call he /she has to mention to which work group (by name).
4. Once the calls came to the work group the support consultant or the team need to send an IR (Initial Response) to the user depending upon the priority of the calls. (Top,High,Med,Low,None)
5. Then the error is fixed, debugged by the support consultant or the team. Then after testing properly by generating TR(Transport Request through the basis admin)
6. Then it is informed to the end user/customer/super user about the changes which have moved to the production server by CTS process.

These are the process. In summary, what I understand is that if any configuration or customization is required to solve the issue, then the consultant have to work on DEV Client, then the end user will test it in the QA client and after approval the BASIS consultant has to transport it to the PRODUCTION client.
An example:

Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company face while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after theimplementation of the project. There can be numerous problem which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.

To begin with , we should give "TICKET" to you for not knowing it.
Here is an eg of a ticket raise:

End user is not able to
1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant , since shipping point determination is not happened . ( Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below:
1. Low 2. Medium 3. High.

Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.

Finally, you request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION. Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed. What I have given is a small example. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support.

How do I go about configuring IT0416 so that its accessible in PA70?

2011-02-27T21:49:00.000-08:00

PA70 Fast Entry lets you update infotypes of several employees one screen. For example, if you want to pay Rs. 1000 as travel allowance for 20 employees, the regular method is to open each of their master data, adding the data and saving the entry, before moving on to the next employee. Instead, open PA70, select which infotype you want to update (basic pay, additional payments etc), type in the emp nos of the employees who are to get the allowance, and the amount of the allowance… all on the same screen. When you save the transaction, the relevant infotype for all those employees is updated.

Similar to PA70 Fast Entry is PA71, which is the same, but is applicable for Time Data (Attendance, absence,quotasetc).

For Infotypes IT 416 there is no screen assigned for fast entry. You can assign some new screen, compatible to Fast entry for IT 0416.

· Go to SE51

· Enter Program Name MP001400 and Screen Number 5000

· Click on Copy and give the To Program name as MP041600 and screen number 5000.

· Now make entries in table T588R (as 0416 - RPLFST01) and T588Q for IT0416

Also----

· Select your Fast entry Menu first:

· Personnel Administration -> Customizing procedure -> Infotype Menus -> Infotype menu ->
Select this option first - "User group dependency on menus and info groups"

· Find your Fast entry menu number 07 or 09.

· Go back and select "Infotype Menu" and enter the menu number 07 or 09.

· You can see User group and Infotype number.

· You can insert 0416 on this screen.

· Now go to PA70 where you can view the IT0416 available for your selection.

ITS Implementation Model

2011-02-27T21:45:00.000-08:00

TS Implementation Models

The Internet Transaction Server (ITS) provides several implementation models for developing Internet and intranet applications – known as Internet Application Components (IACs) and MiniApps – that access data in the SAP system. The model you use depends on the type of application you are developing, but users can start them from any Web browser.

Some implementation models are screen-based, others are screen-independent, but there is no clear assignment of application type to implementation model.

The table below lists the currently available ITS implementation models and briefly describes each. This is followed by a longer description with links to detailed documentation. At the end of this section, there is a tabular comparison of all ITS implementation models.

Model	Purpose
SAP GUI for HTML	Enables users to call SAP dialog transactions from a Web browser. This model dynamically emulates SAP transaction screens by mapping screen elements automatically to HTML pages.
Web Transactions	Enables users to call SAP dialog transactions from a Web browser. This model converts SAP transaction screens to HTML pages through manual mapping of screen elements.
Flow Logic	Enables users to run applications from a Web browser where: · Business logic is defined in remote function modules or BAPIs · Dialog flow is defined in flow files and determined by the user at runtime · Presentation (“look and feel“) is defined in HTML templates
WebRFC	Enables users to call SAP system function modules from a Web browser.
Web Reporting	Enables users to call SAP system reports and pregenerated lists from a Web browser and browse SAP system report trees in the Web Reporting Browser. Web Reporting is a special-case WebRFC application (that is, based on WebRFC technology).

SAP GUI for HTML

This model dynamically emulates the screens of SAP dialog transactions in a Web browser by mapping screen elements automatically to HTML pages. This mapping is implemented by HTML^Business functions (one for each screen element), which either reside within the ITS or are called from those functions. SAP screen attributes are used to position HTML controls at the same position on the HTML page as on the SAP screen. SAP ships a standard library of HTML^Business functions for mapping SAP screen elements to HTML, but you can modify these without having to make any changes in SAP system.

Since HTML pages are generated automatically (one HTML^Business template for each SAP screen), you need little knowledge of HTML, HTML^Business, or scripting languages such as JavaScript.

If you want to allow users to run SAP dialog transactions from a Web browser, with a graphical user interface similar to that used in the SAP GUI for Windows, and with no additional effort involved, you should install the SAP GUI for HTML.

The SAP GUI for HTML is one of two models for implementing SAP Internet applications that allow users to run SAP dialog transactions directly from a Web browser. The other is Web Transactions.

For further information about the SAP GUI for HTML implementation model, see:

SAP GUI for HTML

Web Transactions

This model allows you to develop applications that call SAP dialog transactions from a Web browser through manual mapping of screen elements.

There is clear separation between business logic / dialog flow and presentation aspects.

· To implement the business logic and the dialog flow, you create an SAP dialog transaction in the ABAP Workbench

Ў The business logic is defined in the ABAP program

Ў The dialog flow is defined in the screen flow logic

· To implement the presentation (“look and feel“) and enable the transaction to be run from a Web browser, you create all the required ITS files in the SAP@Web Studio (outside the SAP system) or the Web Application Builder (inside the SAP system)

These files include an ITS service description and HTML templates (one for each screen in the SAP transaction).

To enhance the performance and appearance of your Web transaction, you may also include language resource files to keep HTML templates language-independent and Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) files, which contain graphic, image, and video elements.

At runtime, the ITS merges the data on each SAP transaction screen into a corresponding HTML template and passes the result to the user’s Web browser for display.

To implement applications using this model, you have to map each SAP screen element to HTML manually. For this reason, you need some knowledge of HTML, HTML^Business and – because of the demand for highly interactive HTML pages – scripting languages such as JavaScript.

The Web Transactions implementation model is one of two models for implementing SAP Internet applications that allow users to run SAP dialog transactions directly from a Web browser. The other is the SAP GUI for HTML.

For further information about the Web Transactions implementation model, see:

· Web Transaction Programming

This is a reference guide to the Web Transactions implementation model.

· Web Transaction API

This is a reference guide to the Web Transaction API, which is a set of ABAP macros and functions for developing applications with the Web Transactions implementation model.

· Web Transaction Tutorial

This is a step-by-step introduction to developing applications with the Web Transactions implementation model, with reference to an example application.

Flow Logic

This model allows you to develop applications that consist of linked HTML pages, which you can populate with data retrieved from the SAP system (or any other external system). The pages can offer a range of application functions, and are generated by following hyperlinks or processing HTML forms. The dialog flow is determined on the client side by the user, who can navigate freely between pages. This contrasts with the dialog flow in other business scenarios, where the application often dictates how users can navigate.

When using this model, there is clear separation between business logic, dialog flow and presentation.

The development process takes place both inside and outside the SAP system:

· To define the business logic, you create remote-enabled function modules (RFCs) or Business APIs (BAPIs) in the ABAP Workbench.

· To define the dialog flow and the presentation aspects, you create all the required ITS files in the SAP@Web Studio (outside the SAP system) or the Web Application Builder(inside the SAP system).

These files include an ITS service description, HTML templates, and also flow files for all templates that require a dialog flow definition. To enhance the performance and appearance of flow logic application, you can also include language resource files to keep HTML templates language-independent, and Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) files, which contain graphic, image, and video elements.

The flow logic model is suitable for developing applications that offer several application functions on one page, and the dialog flow is not fixed in advance. Such applications have simple point-and-click user interfaces, limited manual data input, and reduced data formatting requirements. They are often used in e-commerce scenarios.

For further information about developing Internet applications with flow files, see:

· Flow Logic Reference

This is a reference guide to developing applications that are driven by the ITS and use flow files.

WebRFC

This model allows you to develop applications that call SAP system function modules from a Web browser.

To implement WebRFC-based applications, you must:

· Develop an Internet-enabled function module with a standardized interface in SAP system.

· Create HTML pages that pack function parameters into internal tables and pass them to the function module as part of a URL.

At runtime, the called function module evaluates the parameters, retrieves and processes the data, and displays the result in the user’s Web browser.

For further information about the WebRFC implementation model, see:

· WebRFC Programming

This document is a reference guide to developing applications using the WebRFC implementation model. It includes a description of Web Reporting, which is a special WebRFC application.

Web Reporting

Web Reporting allows you to develop applications that call SAP system reports and pregenerated lists from a Web browser.

By clicking on URLs, users can:

· Start reports

· Display pregenerated lists

· Browse report trees in the Web Reporting Browser

Web Reporting is based on WebRFC technology.

For further information about the Web Reporting implementation model, see:

· Web Reporting

This document is a reference guide to developing Internet applications using the WebRFC implementation model.

The section on Web Reporting describes how you can allow Internet and intranet users to run SAP system reports, display pregenerated lists, and browse report trees in the Web Reporting Browser. It also describes how you can implement interactive Web Reporting.

OM -Notes

2011-02-25T22:52:00.000-08:00

key concepts in the OM module of SAP HR

Object Types Entities within OM are maintained as object types (e.g. Org Units, positions,jobs)
Relationships Links objects together (e.g. person to position, position to Org Unit)
Validity Dates Validates life span of objects
Infotypes Data input screens used to record relevant information

Object Types
Each aspect of OM is recorded as an object type, a way of grouping similar data together. For example, organizational unit is an object type, position is another object type.
Relationships
There are many objects within OM, and the creation of relationships is the way that data is linked together. When you build the hierarchical organizational structure, you are creating a relationship between organizational unit objects. If you attach a position to an organizational unit, you are creating a relationship between the position object and the organizational unit object.
Validity Dates
Whenever you create an abject or a relationship between objects, you must enter start and end dates. These validity dates ensure that data entries can only be made within a specified lifespan.
Infotypes
These are the data input screens used to record the OM information. Some infotypes are automatically updated ‘behind the scenes’; other infotypes require you to manually input the information.

Lets look into the different OBJECT TYPES in detail

OM is based upon the use of Object Types and Relationships. Object Types group similar data together. Although an organizational plan can consist of many object types, the five basic building block object types and their ‘codes’ are as follows:

The Personnel Administration (PA) module of the SAP HR system holds the person related data in infotypes in the master data file.
The Organization Management (OM) module looks at the organization’s departmental structure and holds the data in object types. OM object types are a way of grouping similar data. The system assigns a code for each object type.
These objects are created and maintained separately and are then linked together using relationships.

Organizational unit

Object type O is used for Organizational Unit.
Organizational units are units of your company that perform a function.
These units can be departments, groups or project teams, for example.
You create the organizational structure of your company by relating organizational units to one another.
The organizational structure is the basis for the creation of an organizational plan.

Position

Object type S is used for Position.
Positions are used to distribute tasks to different positions and to depict the reporting structure in your organizational plan.
Positions are concrete and are held by employees in a company.
Positions are assigned to organizational units and can inherit characteristics from a job.

Job

Object type C (classification) is used for Job.
Positions are held by people in the company (e.g. secretary in the marketing department,HR manager). Jobs, in contrast, are classifications of functions in an enterprise (e.g. secretary, manager), which are defined by the assignment of tasks and characteristics.
Jobs serve as job descriptions that apply to several positions with similar tasks or characteristics. When you create jobs, they are listed in a job catalog.
When you create a new position (e.g. secretary in the marketing department), you can relate it to a job that already exists in the job index (e.g. secretary). The position then automatically inherits the tasks and characteristics of the job. This significantly reduces data entry time, as tasks and characteristics do not have to be assigned to each position separately, instead they are inherited via the descriptive job. Note however, that specific tasks and characteristics can also be assigned directly to positions.

Jobs are also important in the following components:

Personnel Cost Planning
Career and Succession Planning
Compensation Management

When you create jobs, they are listed in a job catalog. A job catalog is a list of jobs maintained for an enterprise.

Cost Center

Object type K is used for Cost Center.
Cost centers are a Controlling/Finance item that represents the origin of costs. Cost center are external from OM and will be created and maintained in the Controlling module. Cost centers can have relationships with either organizational units or positions.
Cost center assignments are inherited along the organizational structure.

Person

Object type P is used for Employee.
A person is generally an employee in the company who holds a position.
Additional information for employees is maintained in PA (e.g. address, basic pay, etc.).IT0001 (Organizational Assignment) contains the position assignment, defining job,organizational unit, and cost center assignment.

Other noteworthy Object Type is TASKS

Object Type T is used for tasks
Tasks are individual duties and responsibilities that must be undertaken by employees

Tasks can be clubbed under two headings

As part of workflow
As part of personnel management to describe jobs and positions

Relationships

We need to look at two types of Relationships in SAP

1.Relationships with same Object Types
2.Relationships with different Object Types

Lets look into them in detail -

Relationships with Same Object Types

Organizational units are related with each other to form a hierarchical structure.
Each organizational unit is created as an individual object type. Using the example above, the organizational unit of “Region Office” is an object type, as are the organizational units of Finance & Accounting and Human Resources.
To create the interrelated hierarchy, a relationship must exist between Regional Office and Finance & Accounting and between Regional Office and Human Resources.
Relationships are formed in both directions, therefore Regional Office incorporates Finance & Accounting and Finance & Accounting belongs to the Regional Office.
When you create a relationship between objects, SAP automatically creates the corresponding reverse relationship.

Relationships with Different Object Types

Any SAP organizational unit will have positions attached to it. The organizational units object would therefore be linked the position object types as a relationship.
In the example detailed above, the organizational unit object of Human Resources has a relationship of ‘incorporates’ with the position object of HR Manager, therefore the position object of HR Manager has a relationship of ‘belongs to’ with the organizational unit object of Human Resources.

Common relationships

Objects are linked though relationships.
You create relationships between the individual elements in your organizational plan. Several linked objects can represent a structure. There are different types of relationships, as the type of connections between elements varies

Identify a Position as Head of Org Unit

Once a position is declared a Head of the Org Unit -

The position becomes the manager for all employees belonging to the Organizational Unit
The Manager automatically becomes responsible for the approval of timesheet, training
requests and any other SAP workflow.

Two important things should be considered when assigning a position as the Chief:

A position can be assigned as Chief to one Org Unit ONLY
An Org Unit without chief will automatically inherit the chief of the Org Unit it belongs to.
