Overview and Features in HR Programming

• The aim in the Human Resources component is to be able to process
employee related data according to business requirements in an
effective structure.
• The Human Resources module uses a system of data grouped
together called infotypes. The Human Resources module uses a
system of data grouped together called infotypes. And storing bulk
data like time management and Payroll data in Cluster files. HR
Programming involves data extraction and manipulation from these
infotypes and clusters using LDB/MACRO and function modules.
• Infotypes mirror a quantity of connected data records; infotypes are
identifiable through a four character numerical string [e.g. infotype
Addresses (0006)] .
• You can save the infotypes as time-dependent to enable a retroactive
evaluation of Employee data.
• The infotypes appear as an entry screen for the user, through which
you can maintain infotype records. Infotypes can be processed
individually or in fast entry mode.

Difference between Conventional ABAP

• Advanced Business Application Programming ABAP is SAP's fourth
generation language. All of R/3's applications and even parts of its
basic system are developed in ABAP. ABAP is used for customization
and modification of SAP applications.
• In HR ABAP use of select statements significantly less than in other
areas of ABAP development, Logical databases have limited
applications in other modules but are very useful in HR. Also, you
really need to understand the infotype time constraint concept since
the data organization in HR is Employee-Time based, When you
cannot get the information that you need out of the logical DB look at
the function modules starting with HR* and RH*. These function
modules will provide you with multiple ways of accessing data to save
time. Worst-case scenario, use a select statement.
• In addition to the LDB, HR programming also involves the use of
Macros for data extraction
• The storage an access of data is different
• Authorization checks

Concepts of Infotypes
An infotype represents a group of related data fields, provide
information structure, facilitates data entry, and allows time dependent
storage. In other words we can say infotypes are information units used
to enter the time dependent data of the employee.

Master data in HR is stored in infotypes .Each infotype pertains to a
specific type of data. Each infotype has a database table associated with
it.

Time constraints: Enable you to determine how the validity periods of
Infotype data records interact.
1. Time constraint 1: Exactly one valid data record of the infotype in
question must exist for the entire time that the employee belongs to
the enterprise.
2. Time constraint 2: No more than one valid data record of the infotype
in question can exist at any one time.
3. Time constraint 3: Any number of valid data records of the infotype in
question can exist at any one time.

Transparent tables for infotype

• Each infotype has a transparent table. Each logical field for an
infotype has a corresponding physical field on the database.

• One physical table is stored on the database for each transparent
table. The names of the physical table and logical table definition in
the Dictionary are compatible.

• The following naming convention applies to infotype tables; nnnn
stands for the infotype number:

• PAnnnn for transparent tables in Personnel Administration
• PBnnnn for transparent tables in Recruitment
• HRPnnnn for transparent tables in Personnel Planning
• Example : For Infotype 0000, the corresponding database table
associated with it is PA0000

Transparent tables for infotype

It is not true always that a Personnel Administration/Recruitment/Personnel
Planning etc has a transparent table like PAnnnn or PBnnnn or HRPnnnn. One
such example is TEVEN table for IT 2011.It is better to use the Function module
HR_INFOTYPE_DATABASETABLE_GET to get the Infotype table name for an
infotype.

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_DATABASETABLE_GET'
EXPORTING
INFTY = <INFTY>
TCLAS = <TCLAS> “Transaction Class with values ‘A’ or ‘B’ or ‘T’
IMPORTING
DBNAME = <DBTAB>
EXCEPTIONS
ENTRY_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2.

You can also use the database table T777D to find the database table associated
with an infotype.

Technical Data Structure of Info Types

PA Infotypes

The transparent table for PA Infotype is PAnnnn where nnnn is the infotype
number.
Structure PAKEY:
This is nothing but primary key of transparent table PAnnnn

• PERNR: the personnel number is the only unique key within a client for
identifying an employee. It is used to access the display and maintenance
screens for an employee’s master data and working time data (infotypes).

• SUBTY: subtypes are subdivisions of infotypes. An infotype’s subtypes can
have different time constraints and form their own histories.

• OBJPS: the object identification is used to make a distinction between records
with the same infotype, subtype, lock indicator, start date, and end date. For
example, the child number in infotype 0021 Family/Related Person.


• SPRPS: the lock indicator for HR master data is used to lock and unlock data
records, which enables the “double verification principle” to be put into
practice. In accordance with this principle, at least two users are involved in
the process of writing an active data record to the database. One of the users
creates a locked infotype record, and the other user unlocks - that is, activates
the data record.

• ENDDA: end date.

• BEGDA: start date.

• SEQNR: The Sequential Number is used to make a distinction between infotype
records that have the same key and time constraint '3' (any number of valid
infotype data records at any one time). Unlike the object identification, it is
assigned by the system automatically

Note: Structure PAKEY should never be changed


Structure PSHD1:

In addition to structure PAKEY, there is another basic structure that is identical
for all infotypes in personnel administration – that is, the structure PSHD1.
Structure PSHD1 should never be changed


Structure PSHDR:

This is a meta structure and contains the structures PSHDR and PSKEY.
Structure PSHDR should never be changed

Structure Pnnnn:

This structure contains the includes PSHDR and PS0002, where PSHDR in turn contains the
include structures PSKEY and PSHD1.

Technical Data Structure of Info Types
Personnel Infotypes

Structure: HRIKEY

• MANDT: This field contains the clients.
• PLVAR: It is a two-character alphanumeric Key for the plan versions that
enables us to differentiate between alternative plan versions.
• OTYPE: This field contains the object type key, which is a maximum of two
alphanumeric characters in length.
• OBJID: This field contains an eight-digit key that represents a single object.
• SUBTY: Contains specification of sub type
• ISTAT: This field is one-digit numeric key in which the planning status is
indicated. There is a status for all objects and for the infotypes that describe
them.
• BEGDA: This contains start date of the validity period
• ENDDA: This contains end date of the validity period
• VARYF: This contains the target object of a relationship
• SEQNR: This specifies a sequence number for Infotypes of time constraint
class 3.


Structure HRIKEYL:

The structure HRIKEYL is a variant of the structure HRIKEY. This supports language-dependant
infotypes.


Structure HRIADMIN:

The structure HRIADMIN is a data structure contains administrative information on each infotype.


Structure HRInnnn:

The infotype-specific data fields for an infotype are defined in the structure HRInnnn. Here nnnn
stands for four-digit infotype number, as appropriate.

Transparent Table HRPnnnn:

The transparent table now contains the structures HRIKEY(key fields), HRADMIN and HRInnnn.

Logical structure Pnnnn:

Like the infotypes in Pa, the structure Pnnnn is also found in the infotypes of personnel planning.
It contains the includes HRIPKEY, HRIADMIN and HRInnnn.


Table Infotypes:

Table infotypes are a special form of infotype used in personnel planning. Table infotypes are
infotypes for which the data part has a repetitive structure of arbitary length. The repetitive
structures could be texts with any number of lines, or it could, for example, be a course
schedule with any number of days. In order to provide the option of saving repetitions of any
length, the data part must have repetitive structure and it must be saved in a separate data table.
This repetition part of the table part is described in the logical structure PTnnnn and stored in
separate table HRTnnnn. While maintaining the entry in table T777D for infotypes, the table
infotype will be having the T777D-TBTAB field will be filled with HRTnnnn.


External Object Types:

External Object types refer to those object types that are not stored in the data structure of
personnel planning. From a technical point of view there is no record in HRP1000 for external
objects. External Object types are only referenced in the context of a relationship record.
Technically, this means that data records on the relationship are only held in HRP1001.
For internal object types, relationships can exist in two directions, top-down (B) and bottom-up
(A). This results in the creation of two records in IT 1001, relationships. External Object types are
limited in this respect. In order to create an inverse relationship for an external object type, the
key structure of the external object type must be an eight-digit numeric string type NUMC of
length 8). It must be therefore be defined with the same type as the field object ID (HRPnnnn-
OBJID).
Whether external object types have only one relationship – or if inverse relationships are also
possible – is established for each object type in the table T77EO.


External Infotypes:

Infotypes that are needed for planning purposes in personnel planning, but are not stored in
transparent infotype tables of the type HRPnnnn are referred to as external infotypes. This
information can be physically available, for example, in the tables of personnel administration.
An identifier for an external infotype appears in table T777D in the field EXT_INFTY.

Logical Databases in HR
To reduce programming Efforts, it often helps to use the logical
databases when creating reports. Logical databases are special ABAP
Programs that provide selection screens, additional features and so on.
The main objects of a LDB are Structure, Selection and Database
Program. An LDB has another advantage for the option of central
authorization checking.
Logical Databases used In HR:
1. PAP
2. PNP
3. PNPCE - Enhanced version of PNP available form SAP Enterprise
version onwards
4. PCH
5. PTRVP
The LDB PAP is for Applicant administration, PNP and PNPCE for
Personnel Management, PCH for Organisational Management and PTVRP
for Travel Management.
The Logical Databases PNP/PNPCE and PCH are mostly used.

Macros in HR
• Like subroutines and function modules, macro modules can be
used to modularize programs. Macro modules are frequently used
in HR.
• These macros are defined in program SAPDBPNP (include
DBPNPMAC) with the keyword DEFINE. They can be used in any
program that uses the logical database PNP.
• If you want to use these macros in reports that do not use the
logical database PNP, you must include program DBPNPMAC with
the keyword INCLUDE.
• You can also define your own macros. In accordance with the
naming convention, the first two letters stand for the application.
• Some macros are also stored in the Macros in ABAP Programs table
(TRMAC)
Example of Macros are
1. RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST which is available in the include
DBPNPMAC
2. RP-PROVIDE-FROM-FRST which is available in table TRMAC

Macros in HR
• The RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST macro retrieves the last valid data
record in the data selection period.
• The parameters for RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST are: infotype,
subtype, start date, and end date. If you do not want to specify a
particular subtype, enter SPACE.
• You can process not only the last valid data record in the data
selection period, but also the first valid data record using the
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST macro.
• The macro return code PNP-SW-FOUND has the value 1 if a suitable
entry exists in the infotype table for the specified period. If no entry
is found, the value is 0.

Clusters in HR

• Database tables of type PCLn are divided
into subareas known as data clusters.
• Data clusters can be identified by their two-
character IDs.
• The respective subareas within Human
Resources work on their own cluster.
• A separate data key is defined for each
subarea.
• The PCLn database tables are a type of
import/export database table.

Clusters in HR

Cluster table PCL1:

PCL1 contains the following data areas

B1 Time events/PDC
G1 Group incentive wages
L1 Individual incentive wages
PC Personal calendar
TE Trip costs/accounting results
TC Trip costs/credit card data
TX Infotype texts
Z1 Interface PDC -> cost accounting/materials management

This table is maily used for retrieving data from the following data areas:
1. B1
2. TX

Clusters in HR

Cluster table PCL2:

PCL2 contains the following data areas:

B2 Time accounting results
CUCluster directory
PS Generated schema
PT Texts for generated schemas
RX Payroll results/international
Xy Payroll results/country-specific, whereby xy represents the relation
ID. This is from RELID field of table T500L for the country.
ZL Personal work schedule

EXPORT

1. The PCLn import/export database tables are managed by the ABAP
commands IMPORT and EXPORT.
2. We can use these commands to store any data object - such as fields,
structures or internal tables - on the database, or to read them from the
database.
3. Data is read and written using a unique key.

Clusters in HR

The structure of PCLn database tables provides a basic structure for
individual subareas.
The name of each subarea must include a two-character cluster name
or
relation ID.
A key structure must also be defined; 40 bytes are available in field
SRTFD for this purpose.
In the international payroll results, for example, the field RELID
contains
the cluster name RX and the field SRTFD contains the eight-digit
personnel number as well as a five-digit sequence number for each
individual payroll result for a payroll period.
To enable the import of a record from a PCLn database table, the
RELID
field must contain the cluster identifier and the SRTFD field must contain
the cluster key. The fields CLIENT and SRTF2 are filled by the system.

Utility transaction PU00 enables us to delete payroll results in xy clusters for specific
personnel numbers.
1. Utility programs RPUPnD00 and RPUPnD10 - where n stands for database table
PCL1 or PCL2 - enable us to delete one or more records from any cluster.
2. We can delete payroll results using the program RPUDEL20.
3. Caution:
The deletion utilities should only be used for testing. Archiving takes place to
reduce the amount of data in the database.

Enhancement and Creation of Infotypes

Enhancement of Infotypes


Infotype needs to be enhanced sometimes to add our own fields
to the existing infotype fields. Before Enhancing any infotype, CI_
Include must be available.
Enhancement of PA Infotypes
In PA we can enhance the Single screen as well as list screen.
Enhancing the single screen
• Procedure
1. Start the transaction Enhance Infotype, (transaction code
PM01). The Create Infotype screen appears.
2. Choose Enhance Infotype Tab

3. In the Infotype Number field, enter the four-digit number of the
infotype you want to enhance
When you enter the infotype number, remember to enter any
leading
zeros.
Note: It is not possible to enhance a single screen for the Actions
infotype (0000), or the Time Management infotypes.

4. Choose the button ‘Create All’
The following screen appears:

5. Press Enter. Then create the fields required on the screen. In this
case Train Route


6. The following screen appears.

7. Now if we go to Infotype 0006 of any employee we can see
the field added.

Note: While enhancing the single screen of an infotype a module pool
program ZPnnnn00 will be created and that can be modified by
ourselves. We have to modify the screen number 0200 for adjusting
the screen elements and appearance of the enhanced screen.

The module pool program of a PA Infotype will be MPnnnn00.

For every infotype there is a dialog module associated with it. It will
be RP_nnnn for PA infotypes.

The single screen of an Infotype will be 2000 and the list screen will
be 3000.

Here nnnn denotes 4-digit infotype number.

• Procedure
1. Start the transaction Enhance Infotype, (transaction code
PM01). The Create Infotype screen appears.
2. Choose Enhance List screen Tab
3. In the Infotype Number field, enter the four-digit number of the
infotype you want to enhance the list screen.

4. Choose the button ‘Create All’
The following screen appears:

5. Press Enter. Then create the fields required on the screen. In this
example Train Route


6. The following screen appears.

6. Now if we go to Infotype 0006 overview screen of any
employee we can see the field added .

Note: While enhancing the list screen of an infotype a module pool
program ZPnnnn00 will be created (if it is not available already) with
an include ZPnnnn40. We cannot modify the screen appearance of
the added field since it will be directly added to the list screen 3000
of the module pool MPnnnn00.


Enhancement of Personnel Infotypes
Use the transaction PPCI to enhance Personnel Infotypes.

• Procedure
1. Start the transaction Enhance Infotype, (transaction code PPCI). The following
screen appears. Enter the 4 digit infotype number. Click on extend button.

2. The following screen appears. Click on ‘Create All’ Button.

3. Enter the fields and activate the include CI_Pnnnn and the fields
entered will appear in the infotype.


Enhancing the list screen
• Procedure
1. Start the transaction Enhance Infotype, (transaction code PPCI). The following
screen appears. Enter the 4 digit infotype number. Select the menu Infotype
Enhance list screen.

2. The following screen appears. Click on ‘Create All’ Button.

3. Enter the fields and activate the structure ZPLISnnnn and these fields
entered will appear in the infotype's overview screen.


Creation of Infotypes


Infotype needs to be created when you cannot store the required
information in any of the standard infotypes.

Creation of PA Infotypes
1. Start the transaction Enhance Infotype, (transaction code PM01). The
Create Infotype screen appears.
2. Enter the four digit Infotype number ( starting from 9000-9999).
3. Then click on the ‘Create All’ button.


3. The following popup appears. Press Enter.

4. The new screen for entering the required infotype field appears.
Activate the structure PSnnnn and the required infotype details are
created.

5. Then our major duty is to maintain the infotype characteristics. For
that from the PM01 transaction select the button ‘Infotype
Characteristics’. Copy the entry from existing infotype to the newly
created one and change the characteristics of our infotype
accordingly. The characteristics can also be maintained through
IMG or by using the customizing view V_T582A.

New Infotype


Details of customization


If you goto PA30 transaction for Infotype 9nnn you can find the infotype
fields entered.


Creation of Personnel Infotypes
Field Infotypes
For Field infotypes we have to create the structure HRI9nnn though
the transaction SE11 before we are creating the infotype.
Table Infotypes
For Table infotypes we have to create the structure HRI9nnn and
PT9nnn though the transaction SE11 before we are creating the
infotype.

Other than these the creation of both types of Infotype remain the
same.


Let us see the procedure of creating a table Infotype, 9700.
Goto SE11 transaction and create the structures HRI9700 and
PT9700


1. Start the transaction Enhance Infotype, (transaction code PPCI). The
Create Infotype screen appears.
2. Enter the four digit Infotype number ( starting from 9000-9999. In our
example it is 9700). Also enter the description of the Infotype.
3. Then click on the ‘Create’ button. The following screen appears.


4. Select the radio button ‘Table infotype and click on the ‘Create’
Button. The following popup appears. Select ‘Yes’.

5. Finally an information message appears as follows:

6. Then our major duty is to maintain the infotype characteristics. Do
it through IMG or by using the customizing table T777I. What we
have to add is the Time constraint and Infotypes per object type.


I have added this to Object type O and with time constraint 2.

Similarly I can add the infotypes per object type as follows


Finally If I goto PP01 transaction for the maintenance of Organization
Unit, I can see the infotype.

Special ABAP Statements for HR
1. INFOTYPES
2. PROVIDE
3. ENDPROVIDE

1. INFOTYPES
The syntax for this statement is:
INFOTYPES nnnn.
- nnnn between 0000 and 0999: HR master data info types
- nnnn between 1000 and 1999: HR planning data info types
- nnnn between 2000 and 2999: HR time data info types
- nnnn between 3000 and 8999: Not yet used
- nnnn between 9000 and 9999: Customer-specific info types
There are some variants for INFOTYPES statement
1. … NAME c
2. … OCCURS n
3. … MODE N
4. … VALID FROM comp1 TO comp2

Reporting in HR
The effect of ‘INFOTYPES’ statement is that it will create an internal
table Pnnnn as follows:

DATA BEGIN OF Pnnnn OCCURS 10.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE Pnnnn.
DATA END OF Pnnnn VALID BETWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA.
(eg) INFOTYPES 0001.

Variant 1: … NAME c , c 20 character field
This will create an internal table with the name c

DATA BEGIN OF c OCCURS 10.
DATA END OF c VALID BETWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA.

(eg) INFOTYPES 0006 NAME ADDRESS.

Reporting in HR

Variant 2: … OCCURS n, n numeric value
This will create an internal table as follows:
DATA BEGIN OF Pnnnn OCCURS n.
DATA END OF Pnnnn VALID BETWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA.
(eg) INFOTYPES 0005 OCCURS 2.
Variant 3: …MODE N

Applies only to the HR logical databases PNP, PNPCE and PCH.
The info type tables are not filled by GET PERNR (logical database
PNP) or GET OBJEC (logical database PCH). The effect of the
INFOTYPES statement is then the same as the data declaration of
an internal table (as described above). Generally used for Time Infotypes.
(eg) INFOTYPES 2001 MODE N.

Reporting in HR

Variant 4: … VALID FROM comp1 TO comp2
This should be used only with LDBs PNP and PNPCE

GET PERNR retrieves only those info type records which are valid
within the time range ( comp1 and comp2) specified. comp1 and
comp2 are dates with the format YYYYMMDD.

(eg) INFOTYPES 0007 VALID FROM 19910101
TO 19911231.

Reporting in HR

2. PROVIDE
PROVIDE f1 f2 … FROM itab1
g1 g2 … FROM itab2
…
BETWEEN f AND g.
- We can use * instead of individual field names
- itab1, itab2 etc will be of structure Pnnnn
- f and g are from and to dates.
This statement will retrieve the contents of the specified fields
from the internal tables ( itab1, itab2, ...) and places them in the
table header lines within the required range. Also executes the
processing block enclosed by the PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE
statements for each range.

Reporting in HR
• Filled infotype structures are stored in the main memory for the GET
PERNR event keyword.
• The infotype records are imported to internal tables Pnnnn (for example,
P0006 for infotype 0006). These tables are then processed in a PROVIDE-
ENDPROVIDE loop.
• The infotype records whose validity period overlaps the period selected
in the selection screen (PN-BEGDA and PN-ENDDA) by at least one day
are placed one after the other in the header of the respective infotype
table Pnnnn.
• For example, if you choose the current year in the selection screen, PN-
BEGDA contains the first day of the year and PN-ENDDA contains the
last day of the year. If you do not enter any data for the period in the
selection screen, PN-BEGDA contains the low date (01/01/1800) amd PN-
ENDDA contains the high date (31/12/9999).
• Note: If you have entered period date in the selection screen, the
contents of fields Pnnnn-BEGDA and Pnnnn-ENDDA are also reset in the
header of the infotype table Pnnnn. For example, if the date in Pnnnn-
ENDDA is after the date in PN-ENDDA, Pnnnn-ENDDA is given the value
from PN-ENDDA.

• HR data is processed in two nested loops:
• A GET PERNR loop for all of the personnel numbers
selected. It is concluded implicitly by the next event, for
example, END-OF-SELECTION.
• Subordinate loops per infotype, for the processing of all
infotype records for the selected personnel number.
• With this form of processing, you should note that the
data for the Personal Data (0002) and Address (0006)
infotypes is listed sequentially and is not linked.
• You can also process the infotype tables with a LOOP-

Importance of Dates and Periods

• Here is a simple ABAP example of reading DATE types stored in
infotype 0041.
• There can be a maximum of 12 dates stored in this
infotype. Here is an example of an infotype 0041 record:

Reporting in HR
The date types are stored in PA0041-DAR01, PA0041-DAR02,
etc.

In the example above, PA0041-DAR01 is “01”, PA0041-DAR02
is “09”.

The dates themselves are stored in PA0041-DAT01, PA0041-
DAT02, etc

To read through this in ABAP, the easiest way is to use the DO
VARYING statement. Here is a simple demonstration
ABAP:

Note: to print the text of the date type, e.g. “Leave year entry”
select from table T548T.

• It is often necessary to read the groupings stored in the
Personnel Area/Subarea table because they are required
as keys for other tables. This must take place individually
for each personnel number to be processed.
• Each employee's assignment to a personnel area and
subarea is stored in infotype 0001.
• The parameters of the macro are:
• Personnel areas
• Personnel subareas
• Reaction, if no entry is found:
• X = Termination of report with error message ‘No entry
found in table ...’
• SPACE = SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
• Alternatively, if you only want to determine the country
indicator, you can use the function module

• The function module reads the HR infotype records for a person
(employee or applicant) in accordance with the specified selection
criteria. Values are returned in an internal table, the structure of which
corresponds to the appropriate infotype table. In the calling program,
such tables can be declared with the INFOTYPES statement, for
example. An infotype record is selected if its validity period overlaps
with the specified period.
• The function module performs an authorization check.
• The following specifications are possible for the return code:
0: The return table contains all required records
4: The return table contains all records, however, it is incomplete due to
missing authorization
8: The return table is empty because no records were found with the
specified criteria
12: The return table is empty due to missing authorization
• Note: You should not use this function module in reports that use the
logical database PNP. If you want to read an infotype separately in one
of these reports, you can call the subroutine READ-INFOTYPE directly in
the database program SAPDBPNP (PERFORM READ-
INFOTYPE(SAPDBPNP)). . .). If this is the case, you declare the infotypes
in the statement INFOTYPES with supplement MODE N.

• With this function module, you can determine the initial start
date of an employee. You can take the following infotypes into
account when you determine this date:
- P0000 Actions
- P0001 Organizational Assignment
- P0016 Contract Elements
- P0041 Date Specifications

• The transfer parameter CHECK_INFOTYPES is used to
determine which of these infotypes are taken into account. The
employment status (parameter STATUS2) can also be specified
for infotype P0000. In infotype P0016, only the Entry data field
(P0016-EINDT) is taken into account. For infotype P0041, the
corresponding date type can be given in the transfer parameter
DATUMSART. The date type '01' is usually used for the technical
entry date.
• Most function modules in HR have the letters 'HR' or 'RP' in the
first two characters of their name. To find additional modules,
use the search function in the Function Builder.

• With this function module, you can maintain the employee and applicant master
data. You can specify one data record. All validations that would normally take
place if the infotypes were maintained online with the individual maintenance
screens are also carried out here. The module returns the same error messages as
in the online operation. This means the error messages for the individual
maintenance screens are displayed rather than interpreted. The update is carried
out by a 'Call dialog' to the module pool for the infotype. This means that some
restrictions apply to the infotypes processed in that way (see documentation for
module).
• The following values are amongst those available for the parameter OPERATION:
MOD (change), COPY (copy), DEL (delete), INS (insert), LIS9 (delimit).
• With the parameter DIALOG_MODE, you specify whether the action is generally run
in the background or whether it only runs in the background until an error occurs,
or whether the changes are generally carried out in the dialog mode. Possible
values:'0' The changes are generally processed in the background. If an error
occurs (with an E or A message), the complete step is terminated and the module
returns the corresponding error message in the structure 'RETURN'.
'1' The changes are generally processed in the background. If an error occurs, the
system switches to dialog mode so that the user can correct the entries.
'2' The changes are processed in the dialog mode.

Indirect Valuation:
Some times entries in Infotype 0008, 0014, 0015
etc are stored for indirect valuation (ie the wagetype has
to be valuated indirectly). The entries
will not be stored in the infotype tables.
We have to use any of the function modules for indirect
valuation to read the data.

Join and Projections
Joins:

• Any number of infotypes can be linked by a JOIN.
• Note that changing data in any one of the infotypes linked by a
join causes a split in the selection period.
• Joins are only possible for infotypes with time constraint 1 or 2.
• If infotypes linked by a JOIN have subtypes, processing must be
restricted to one subtype using a WHERE condition, in which a
subtype is queried.

Using variable Pnnnn_VALID, the system recognizes that one partial
interval only contains incomplete data.
When the report is run, this variable is created for each Pnnnn
infotype included in a join.
If a partial interval for infotype Pnnnn contains data, its Pnnnn_VALID
variable is filled with X.

Reporting in HR
Projections:
• Selecting one or more infotype fields for processing is called
PROJECTION.
• Using projection for specific fields enables you to specify that only the
contents of these fields and time-based changes to the contents, are
relevant to an evaluation.
• Like joins, projections are logical data views concentrated on one or
more fields within an infotype.
• Projection is also an operation performed on the time axis. New validity
periods are created when the contents of one of the projection fields
change. The values stored in fields that are not included in the projection
are in an undefined condition, which means they are no longer relevant to
output.
• If the contents of a field included in the projection remain unchanged in
several data records, the validity periods of these data records are
combined.
• The process of combining data records during projection is called
contraction.
• JOIN and PROJECTION can be combined in a PROVIDE statement.

• The 'Dynamic Actions' table (T588Z) is a control table that triggers steps taken
when an infotype record is maintained. Such steps include maintaining another
infotype record, performing a routine, or sending a mail.
• OP stands for a user operation where 02 stands for Change, 04 for Insert, and 08
for Delete a record. The values can be added, for example, 06 means that an action
is performed if the current record has been changed or inserted.
• A stands for an action performed by the system, for example, P = Check a
condition, F = Call a routine, I = Maintain an infotype record, W = Set default values
when inserting a record.
• You can call internal (defined in the module pool) and external routines. In an
external routine, the name of the program is given in parentheses after the name of
the routine. You cannot enter the USING parameter. The fields of the structure that
is not used in the standard system (RP50D) are available to return the values from
the routine. They can be filled by the routine and then used for default values (W
statements). This structure can be enhanced with customer fields in a customer
include.
• In this example, the routine COMPUTE_DATE calculates a date in the subroutine
pool ZPFORM01 and places it in field RP50D-DATE1. This date is calculated by
subtracting 14 days from the start date of the locked record.

• In your program, enter values in the decision fields used in your feature.
• Call the function module and enter the name of the feature to be used and the name

• Possible errors when processing the decision tree:
a) An error occurred in the feature (ERROR_OPERATION)
b) No return value is available for the current contents of the decision field
(NO_BACKVALUE)
c) The feature was no generated (FEATURE_NOT_GENERATED)

A principle of the logical database is that all of the infotype records
between the lowest and highest system date are read, irrespective
of the data selection period, when the GET PERNR event occurs.
If there is a large number of time records, this gives rise to problems
with the main memory and bad performance times.
In particular, if positive recording has been implemented, the quantity
of infotype records soon overloads the main memory.

Reporting in HR
• Organizational Management is based on the idea of representing
each element within an organization as a separate object with its own
characteristics. These objects are created and maintained separately.
Relationships are used to link one to the other (see graphic). This
gives rise to a network that is flexible enough to facilitate personnel
planning, projections, and evaluations.
• The cost center is an external object type because it is not
maintained in Organizational Management.
• Customizing enables you to enhance the existing data model by
defining new object types, for example, and establishing new
relationships between the various object types. Each standard object
type consists of two letters, whereas the customer namespace is 00
to 99.
• This data model (object types and relationships) also constitutes the
basis of other applications within Personnel Planning, such as
Training and Event Management (business event hierarchies) and
Personnel Development (for example, qualification catalog).

• "Job" is used as a general classification,
such as secretary or head of department.
• More than one employee can have the same
job. For example, twenty employees can
have the job of secretary.
• A position is the assignment of an individual
employee in your enterprise, for example,
sales manager, secretary in the marketing
department. You form the structure of your
enterprise by creating positions and linking
them to each other.

• An evaluation path describes a set of relationships between
objects in a hierarchical structure. Evaluation path O-S-P, for
example, describes the set of relationships found between
organizational units, positions, and persons.
• Evaluation paths are used to select objects for structural
evaluations. You choose an evaluation path, and the system
evaluates the structure along the evaluation path. The report
only evaluates objects that it finds in the specified evaluation
path.
• Every standard report has a defined standard evaluation path.
They are predetermined in the system and must not be
changed. The standard selection screen enables you to
choose evaluation paths. You can also create new evaluation
paths to meet the particular requirements of your enterprise.
• Report RHWEGID0 displays all possible evaluation paths

• To minimize the number of times that the
database is accessed, import and export data is
buffered in the main memory.
• If a test run is performed, the database is not
updated. However, the payroll results of the
previous period form the basis of the calculation
used to determine the results of the subsequent
period. For this reason, a difference arises
between the results of a live payroll run and the
results of a test run if test runs are performed
for several periods.

period by entering the payroll period in the selection screen. If
you specify report class XXM00004 in the attributes of your

components INTER and NAT also contain the tables (for
example, RT, CRT, and so on) and field strings (for example,
VERSC) for the payroll results as substructures. In cluster RX,
NAT consists of a dummy field.
• The structures PAYic_RESULT (ic = ISO code, for example,
PAYUS_RESULT for the USA) exist for the country-specific
results. Here, the component NAT contains the substructures
for the country-specific results.
• If you want to evaluate payroll results, you need a data

payroll results to be processed, you need a header with the type
HRPAYic_table name (for example, HRPAY99_RT for the results

User Exits and BAdIs

Some of the user Exits available are:
1. PBAS0001 PA: Pers.Admin./Recruitment: Default
values and checks
2. HRCTRCU0 Enhancement for Customer Exits for
RPCTRCU0.
3. RHALE001 HR-CA: Enhancement for ALE
functionality in HR
4. PCMP0009 Compensation Management:
Calculation Base
5. PCMP0010 Compensation Management: Activate
Compensation Adjustments

User Exits and BAdIs

1. PBAS0001 PA: Pers.Admin./Recruitment: Default
values and checks

This is mainly used for validation of infotype entries
when maintaining data through PA40 or PA30
transactions.

Two Function modules EXIT_SAPFP50M_001
and EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 are associated with this
Enhancement. The first one is called in PBO module
and second one in PAI module.

Reporting in HR
Goto transaction CMOD

Reporting in HR
The function exit EXIT_SAPFP50M_001 allows you to enter Defaultvalues in
the single screen when you are creating or copying infotypes.

The following are available for determining these default values:

TCLAS the transaction class (A= employees, B= applicants)

INNNN the infotype created

IPSYST workfields for dialog control and selected fields for
organizational assignment (IT 0001) that are valid on the start date
of the current record (INNNN-BEGDA).

I001P Table T001P (Personnel Subareas) determined with the
current organizational assignment (IPSYST-WERKS, IPSYST-BTRTL),

I503 Table T503 (Employee Subgroups) determined with the current
organizational assignment (IPSYST-PERSG, IPSYST-PERSK).

IPREF Assignment values for HR objects

Reporting in HR
Based on this data, the additional data can be returned to parameter INNNN.
Error messages or exceptions are not provided for in this function exit.
Note the following:
1 The function exit is executed when you Create or Copy a record.
2 As long as the enhancement is active, the function exit is called up
for every infotype, as the following steps are necessary:
- declaration of structure with desired infotype structure (I0008
LIKE P0008)
- infotype query in CASE statement
- temporary storage of transfer parameter INNNN in infotype
structure
- an example of the coding for this function exit is stored in
include LXPADF01.

Reporting in HR
The function exit EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 allows you to execute an additional
check after entries have been made on the single screen and the fields
have been verified.
The following are available for determining these default values:

TCLAS the transaction class (A= employees, B= applicants)
INNNN the infotype created
PSAVE Infotype prior to modification
IPSYST workfields for dialog control and selected fields for
organizational assignment (IT 0001) that are valid on the start date
of the current record (INNNN-BEGDA).

I001P Table T001P (Personnel Subareas) determined with the
current organizational assignment (IPSYST-WERKS, IPSYST-BTRTL),

I503 Table T503 (Employee Subgroups) determined with the current
organizational assignment (IPSYST-PERSG, IPSYST-PERSK).

IPREF Assignment values for HR objects

Reporting in HR
Created infotype records will be returned INNNN.
Error messages can be returned.
Note:

1. You can still change the created infotype record in function exit.
Whoever is responsible for the enhancement project must make sure
that the field contents are consistent! In order to that field
values can be displayed again, Show_data_again must be switched on.
2. As soon as the enhancement is active, the function exit will be
called up for each infotype. The following steps are required in
order to do this:
- Declaration of a field string with the desired infotype
structure (I0008 LIKE P0008)
- Query of infotype in a case statement
- Store transfer parameter INNNN temporarily in the infotype field string
- Determine the default value
- Return infotype to transfer parameter INNNN
3. There is an example of the coding for this function exit in include
LXPADF01.

Business Add-Ins (BAdI)
Business add-ins are programmer-defined places in source code where software
customers (industry sectors, partners, customers, and so on) can add their own code,
without modifying the original object.
Business add-ins are designed for users who require certain functions in the R/3 System
that are too specialized to be included in the standard system, but are needed often, and
therefore have been designed to be integrated into the R/3 System. A user who wants to
use a business add-in can create their own during implementation, or use one of the
delivered standard solutions.
The interface of a business add-in is forward compatible, thus ensuring that these add-ins
and their interface still function after a release upgrade. They do not need to be registered
in SSCR.
While customer exits (enhancements using SMOD/CMOD) are designed for use in a two-
level system landscape (SAP, customers), business add-ins are designed for use in a
multiple-level system landscape (SAP, country versions, IS solutions, partners, customers,
and so on). Business add-ins can be created at any level of the system landscape. In
addition, business add-ins can be created and delivered at all software levels.
Enhancements created using business add-ins can be implemented either exactly once, or
for an infinite number of customers simultaneously. Business add-ins can also be defined
according to a filter (for example, an add-in could be implemented according to "country"
or other criteria).
Interfaces can be designed for ABAP source code, screens, GUI interfaces, and tables.
Customers can then add their own enhancements to the standard system. Interfaces are
required to execute a task are combined in one business add-in.

BAdI for PA Infotypes
Now let me explain the method of creating implementation/s for a BAdI with the example of HRPAD00INFTY.
Go to Transaction: SE18
Enter the definition name as HRPAD00INFTY.

Reporting in HR
Click on the display button. The following screen appears.

Reporting in HR
By seeing the attributes we can make out that this is a Multiple use BAdI which means there can be more than one
active implementation
at a time.
Choose the menu Implementation Overview.
The following screen will appear which suggests that PY_UPD_T5RIC is the active implementation for the BAdI which
is a standard one.

Is this BAdI a complete replacement for the enhancement PBAS0001?

Yes. The enhancement PBAS0001 can be completely avoided by the BAdI.

Reporting in HR
How to implement our own Implementation of the BAdI Definition?
Choose the menu Implementation Overview.
The following screen will appear.

Click on the create button
The following popup appears. Enter the new implementation name
as ZRAJESH_P_NAIR_INFTY (for Example) and press enter.

The following screen will appear.
Enter the description of the implementation and save it.

Reporting in HR

Now select the interface tab

Reporting in HR

Here we are having three methods viz:
BEFORE_OUTPUT (PBO) - Equivalent to EXIT_SAPFP50M_001 of the
enhancement PBAS0001.
AFTER_INPUT (PAI) - Equivalent to EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 of the
enhancement PBAS0001.
IN_UPDATE (While Saving the Infotype)
We can write our code inside any of the methods depending upon the
requirement.
For Example, let us take a scenario; In Info Type 0001 if the employee
subgroup is “1A” then the payroll area entered should be only “01”.
Let us how can we implement this using BADI.
Obviously, we have to write the code in the method “AFTER_INPUT”.

Reporting in HR
The code is as follows:
METHOD if_ex_hrpad00infty~after_input.
DATA p0001 TYPE p0001.
CASE new_innnn-infty.
WHEN '0001'.
p0001 = new_innnn.
IF p0001-persk = '1A' AND p0001-abkrs NE '01'.
MESSAGE e000(fv) WITH 'Only payroll area 01 is allowed'
' for emp subgroup 1A’.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.

Reporting in HR
For viewing the parameters which can be accessed inside the method, we can use the “Signature” button in the
application toolbar.
Screen with signature option

Reporting in HR
Screen without signature option

Reporting in HR
Activating the BAdI:
So far we have identified the BAdI definition created our own
implementation and written our own code. Now the final step is
activating the BAdI.
As discussed earlier, ours is a multiple use BAdI that means the
activation of our implementation will not affect the existing active
implementations. If we do not want the existing active
implementation, we can deactivate it.
For activating, we can go to the transaction SE19 and enter the
implementation name as
ZRAJESH_P_NAIR_INFTY and click on the activate icon in the
application toolbar.

We will get a message “BAdI implementation
ZRAJESH_P_NAIR_INFTY has been activated!” upon activation.

Reporting in HR
You can even do the activation of the implementation from the
BAdI definition itself.
Note: If the active implementation is of standard SAP, then we can
deactivate it easily, but if we want to activate it again we need the
access key.
Now let us see how this is affected in PA30 transaction for Info
Type 0001.

Reporting in HR
Now let us see how this is affected in PA30 transaction for Info Type 0001.
Go to Transaction PA30.
Enter the Personnel Number as 92510(Example).

Reporting in HR
Click on change icon and goto the next screen.
Enter the payroll area as W0.

Reporting in HR
Now we will get the error message as follows:

Reporting in HR
De-activating the BAdI:
For de-activating, we can go to the transaction SE19, enter the
implementation name as ZRAJESH_P_NAIR_INFTY, and click on
the Deactivate icon in the application toolbar.

Reporting in HR

We will get a message “BAdI implementation
ZRAJESH_P_NAIR_INFTY has been deactivated!” upon
deactivation.

Authorization Objects in HR
All the HR related Authorization objects are included in the
Authorization Class HR. Goto SU21 transaction select the
authorization class HR (Human Resources) and it will list all the
authorization objects associated with it.

Some of the important HR authorization Objects are described
below:
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 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 P_ORGIN HR: Master data (P_ORGIN), P_ORGXX HR:
Master data - extended check (P_ORGXX) 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:
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.

Object HR: Master data (P_ORGIN)
Fields are:
INFTY Infotype
SUBTY Subtype
AUTHC Authorization level
PERSA Personnel Area
PERSG Employee Group
PERSK Employee Subgroup
VDSK1 Organizational Key

Object: P_ORGXX HR: Master Data - Extended Check
Fields: INFTY Infotype
SUBTY Subtype
SACHA Payroll Administrator
SACHP Administrator for HR Master Data
SACHZ Administrator for Time Recording
SBMOD Administrator Group
Definition:
The object HR: Master data - Extended check (P_ORGXX) can be
used to check authorization for personal data INFTY (HR infotypes)
This check is not active in the standard system. The program
switch HR: Master data - Extended check (ORGXX) can be used to
add this check in the standard system or set it as an alternative to
P_ORGIN HR: master data . The main switch settings can be
processed using transaction HR: Authorization switch (OOAC)

Object: P_PCLX HR: Clusters

Fields: RELID Area identifier for cluster in tables PCLx
Definition:
This object is used in the authorization check when accessing
PCLx (x = 1, 2, 3,4) HR files using the PCLx buffer (interface
supported by HR).
Field Details:
Cluster ID: enter the cluster name in this field. Authorization level:
in this field you must specify the operation to be carried out on the
cluster along with the cluster ID specified above.
The values which can be entered here are R (read), U (update
database) and S (export data to PCLx buffer without database
update).
