We have a requirement to calculate leave entitlement at the anniversary year not calendar year. The leaves have both paid and unpaid components. The paid component is based on time worked. The unpaid component is based on years of service. Leave taken is reduced from both entitlements depending on employee's request. We are using a Schema based on TM04 which calls Cycles TS15, TS10. What is th ebest way to handle this?You can use field 'DAUER' for seniority based vacation entitlement in the VAC01->VAC99 features. Time worked is not part of the feature structure (PME03). However you may create your own source code to make a decision on any field even if it does not belong to the feature structure. Check feature VAC01.

How to write a variable breaks. For example in a manufacturing unit 50 employees are working, all the 50 employees will not take a break at a time, so 25 people will take a break around 11:00 to 11:30 and another 25 people will take a break around 11:30 to 12:00.

Variable or flexi break means if you are fixing the break as10.00-12.00 and saying that only 30 min break then they can take a break of 30 min at any time in between 10:00-12:00.

In config, under time managemnt and then work schedules, go to break

Page 2: SAP HR Q-A

schedules and create two break schedules (1) 11-1130 and the other for 1130-1200. I think each will have its own DWS. In this case for break schedule 1, the DWS will be 8000 and for break two it will be 8001. Create work schedules for each and assign to the relevant group of employees. This is the solution I could think of.

In TM, if group of employees get 10 days of annual leave, what will be the time evaluation status?

TIME evaluation shows the exact details maintained over to the employee through his 2006 and 2001. if they are all allowed to take leave it shows leave as paid or unpaid depending on the configuration done by the consultant for these situation. in  processing time data in payroll or even Time evaluation ( Valuation of absences )  also.

First of all we wanna tell you what we are doing step by step. After logon process, we entered the transaction code PM01 to access "Create InfoType" screen. Then we selected the tab "SingleScrn" to generate new objects into existing infotype. To do this, we entered "0005" as infotype no and "YU" as infotype version for Serbia. And then we just clicked on the button "Generate Objects" which exists right hand side of the screen.We got the error message "HCMT_BSP_PA_YU_R0005 does not exist".

IT0005 is a standard IT and already exists, you cannot CREATE it. If you want to create a customer infotype, it has to start with 9*.

I just wanted to know that when I am recruiting some body, I am generating his personal no also. Then I want to give him a training also. Now I just want to create 2 scenarios to clear my doubts. 1--How to create a time schedule for 1 day training where when the breaks, working hours does not coincide with the training time and the person is also booked . 2--How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the

Page 3: SAP HR Q-A

training time and the person is not booked. What are the steps in time management, so that I can understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not booked.

No need of time management. while creating an event you will be creating time schedule in the box select user defined where you can define different timings for different days with intwervals like weeks , months for this just select multiple.

I need to ask you that while I am trying to book one person in training for a business event type, they are saying that this person is not available for the business event. Why is it so? But that I can book a user for the same business event type. What is the differense between user and person? Now in case if I book a person for the business event, how can I see whether that person is available for that date or not. Moreover how can I see that that person is on leave or not.

What is Attendance & Absences Quota?

Absence Quota:

An employee's entitlement to a certain absence. The quota has a limited validity period, and is reduced by each recorded absence. Attendance Quota: Determines an employee's time-restricted entitlement to certain attendances.

Page 5: SAP HR Q-A

One such example is overtime approval. Recording an attendance of this type reduces an employee's entitlement

What is Substitutions?

A substitution is employee working time that deviates from planned working time and/or is paid at a different rate because the employee works at an alternative position. Substitutions allow short-term deviations to personal work schedules, as well as different payment for an employee, to be recorded in the system. Substitutions can be set up regardless of whether the absent person is actually being replaced or substituted for temporarily.

6. IT 0007 fields- Work schedule rule, Time management status, working week, employment percentage, Daily working hour, weekly working hour, monthly workinh hours, actual working hours, weekly workdays.

Grouping together of employees' scheduled attendances and actual attendances according to the reason for the attenance. Attendances canalso be grouped for other personnel-related reasons, such as for employee time accounts and for valuation of personnel times.

How do we record a Overtime?

Overtime approvals can restrict the amount and the exact point in time when working time is recognized as "overtime." The type and amount of overtime compensation also depends upon this criteria. The normal working time of an employee is used to determine overtime. Normal working time can also be

Page 6: SAP HR Q-A

calculated according to the specific time periods used to perform weekly or monthly overtime calculation analyses.

What is Attendance & Absences Counting Rule?

Att Counting Rule:

1. IT 0003- Infotype in which data on the Payroll status and Time Management status is stored. For example, the system stores the date of the last payroll run performed for the employee in the Payroll Status infotype (0003). The system automatically creates this infotype when the employee is hired. In general, the system updates the infotype and writes the changes to the payroll past.

Page 7: SAP HR Q-A

Is absence/attendence quotas are part of time quotas?

Yes.

There is 1 person but its displaying that this person cannot be booked. He is not available for the business event. Can you tell me where is it going wrong? What can be the reasons?

You should be able to book for all persons but it showing only for one person means you need to check infotype 2001 and his workschedule. If it showing for all the persons, just follow as below:Create a calendar with open days means without any holidays and assign in Training and Event Management --> Basic Settings --> Controling days off --> Specify Factory Calendar in this thru drill down/check box select the calendar which you have created in time mangement without any holidays and try out if again. If it shows the same message then remove time integration.

I have a certain group of employees who have vacation exceptions. The company does not want to create additional PSA/PA to enable me to put them in their own PSA Grouping for time quota types. Can I use IT2012 to bring in the exception hrs and then add this value to their accrual as defined in config. Because of this they will accrue vacation time at a higher rate. Is this possible? Combining config settings and schema to accrue leave. If I could put them in their own separate PSA grouping for time quota types it would be easy for me as I would not permit generation of quota during time eval. And then do this in the schema. Any suggestions?

Schemas allows you to move, delete, copy and insert lines in line editorcommands.here you can enter the commands and entered in the area used forthe line numbers. You can overwrite any of the numbers with the commnds. Sub-shemas are called by the copy commnad.

What is the importance of time types in time evaluation? How time evaluation creates time types? What are the tables or the info required to create time types?

Time types play an importatant Part in Time Evaluation:

1) They help in creating the TIME ACCOUNTS for the employee Once the Time evaluation is run we get time wage types which are set to payroll for calculation of rumuneration for the employee and also we get Time types which are used to show time accounts (with the help of Time balances) for the employee.

Time types store time balances.....

Let me give you an example:

Say time type-0002 (Periodic balance)

If a particular employee worked 10 hours. In a day that 10 hours is stored in ZES (Daily Balance) AND Total cumilation for the whole month say 200 hours in SALDO (Monthly Balance), the whole balances are Put in a Time Type.

Page 10: SAP HR Q-A

V_T555A - used to view time types for a particular period.

These time types are stored in cluster B2

There is one more thing like, Time types and the Processing types are combined to form Pair which is used to calculate over time, form absence pair, attendence pair etc. You can see in detail if you go to T555Z (Time type determination).

What is a BSP application?

BSP (Business Server Pages) in the new dimension in SAP where by webapplication can be built. BSP uses HTML for the presenation and ABAP for the business logic. As an option there is also the Java flavour using JSP.BSP applications are far better than the old IAC's (Internet applicationcomponents) deliverd vide the ITS where the display format is kind of fixed.In SAP HR the new appriasal system used BSP.Well this is only basic information. You may wish to use the MBS (WASversion) to try and developed a simple application using BSP.

BSP is a set of pages that represent a user interface (layout and page flow definition). The layout part of a page normally contains ABAP or JavaScript code which is inserted into the HTML structure. They can contain server-side scripting code in either JavaScript or ABAP. BSP applications use all the conventional ABAP technologies, such as Open SQL and internal tables, allowing developers to create Web pages quickly. This enables existing SAP logic, data structures, and interfaces to be directly used in Web applications. 17.In the HR Master data where are planned working times for anemployee seen?

(RPTIME00)ss. It is recommended to run Time evaluation overnight on daily

basistt. Time evaluation can be processed for planned or actual timesuu. Time evaluation can be run using schemas TM00, TM04,

or TQT4vv. Time evaluation cannot allocate quotaAns

How to write a variable breaks. For example in a manufacturing unit 50 employees are working, all the 50 employees will not take a break at a time, so 25 people will take a break around 11:00 to 11:30 and another 25 people will take a break around 11:30 to 12:00,

Variable or flexi break means if you are fixing the break as10.00-12.00 and saying that only 30 min break then they can take a break of 30 min at any time in between 10:00-12:00.

In config, under time managemnt and then work schedules, go to break schedules and create two break schedules (1) 11-1130 and the other for 1130-1200. I think each will have its own DWS. In this case for break schedule 1, the DWS will be 8000 and for break two it will be 8001. Create work schedules for each and assign to the relevant group of employees. This is the solution I could think of.

Ans Differentiate between Payroll area and payscale area.Ans

Creation of wage type

See you can create wage type in> PM----PA----Payroll dat----basic> pay----wagetypes---create Wt catalogue./Wage> type group>For running a payroll you need to create a payroll areas and that you need to fine with client about his requirement.

How can we configure the options for the Assgn Form. No. field on Infotype 210. It is the alternate formula to assign tax field and we have been unable to locate the table in the IMG to edit the options.

Options for the BSI Tax Formula can not be configured.Possible entries are available in BTXFORM, and they depend on the 'tax authority' ( BTXAUTH) and the 'tax type' (BTXTAXT). Use data dictionary to check existing entries. This data comes from BSI. Tax calculations are done in theBSI programs (via RFC from the USTAX function in the payroll schema).

We are using the US HR/PAYROLL module. We are able to create the entry to credit the accrued payroll account. But our check writing process does not produce any accounting entries when we create a pay check or run our EFT process(RFFOUS_T). Should RFFOUS_C produce an accounting entry to debit the payroll payable account and credit the cash account ?

Are your reports based on the HR logical data base (LDB). If so then the customization is straightforward to pass the relevant data to the selection screens. Else you will need to pass this through a function for which you may need an ABAPer. You also need to look at the authorization issues for the reports in case it is not using a LDB

 What is knowledge transfer in sap hr module?

Knowledge Transfer is a general terminology.  It means that you disseminate the knowledge what you have.  Say you are teaching one module to other person. You are the giver and the other person is the receiver of knowledge. The process is Knowledge Transfer.  You are transferring the subject what you know. KT is not specific to any module.

*OR*

KT in SAP is the knowledge transferred to a reliever who is to take over your responsibilities so that he/she knows what all you have done shouldering the same responsibility. It is done in order to minimize the knowledge gap between the two sides, and facilitate the reliever to carry on the baton from where his/her predecessor leaves. It might be in the form of transferring the soft copies, hard copies of the various documents, verbal one or a written one to make it more formal.

 What would be basically my roles where I need to provide support or what kind of specs do I need to face.  Pls give some examples.

You are working in Payroll and Benefits, your role can exactly defined after seeing what your Business is doing, are you processing payroll through SAP or you are processing through third party and down load through SAP. In payroll mostly you will get the issue of authorization, and check which all infotypes are going to effect while running the payroll. any issue occur, you need to check the infotypes and while downloading check the fields and verify the data , check the programme and wage types also , whether they are maintained properly etc.

Is it possible to implement hr without fico in any company? If yes, then who will create the company and other things in enterprise structure. if my company is implementing only hr without fico and in hr also only personal administration is it possible? Actually my client querieing me that whether is it possible only to maintain the employee details as he got other accounting packages like tally.

It is very much possible to implement HR(PA) without FICO. But it sounds very odd that the company wishes to implement only HR & that too only PA. What about other modules ? If you want other modules like MM / SD you will definitely require FICO. Utilitiwise its really absurd if some company only want to use HR(PA).

It is not madtadtory to have FI/CO or other module while implementing HR but it is required to maintain the min. config while going for the HR whereever having the integration. So the basic config such as company code, cost centre, Business Area, etc. may be maintained by the consultation of FICO counter part

For the second part of your question, YOU, the HR guy, will create minimum information in FI and maybe CO (company code, maybe cost centers). Just create an IMG project for PA HR, and the needed basic FICO activities will be included.*-- Battacharya

We are in the service industry and have employees working in multiple cities on the same day. The system seems to allow one taxing authority per day. But the taxing authority needs to be picked up from the Service Order ideally . Can we achieve this?

You can create multiple infotypes 0208 (work tax area) for the same employee and the same day. Use the 'allocation percent' field . There is no integration however between time management and the work tax area. You may copy infotype 0208 to IT 9208. Infotype 0208 may be used to store the default work tax area and IT 9208 may be used to store the multiple work tax area. Create IT 9208 based on data from your external time management system.

There are so many transport request goes to system. So if it get jam. You can tell your basis consultant to restart server. Then it will be clear.

I have to create a root organisation unit in Development system. Now I want to transport the changes to Test and production system. The Transport settings in The IMG is 'X' that no transport request should be generated. So, is it advisable to change the settings to blank and then develop the transport request and arrange the settings back to normal once the transport request is generated for PPOCE.

If you only need to create one root object, it's simpler to do it manuallly in all three systems. Don't forget to check the range number in all the systems, though.

We have multiple ORGs as we have many subsidiaries of our Parent company. These subsidiaries are defined as ORG and are assigned an ORG-ID. Within each ORG, we have Divisions (e.g. Human Resources, Finance, Materials etc.) and within each division we have Departments (e.g. Payroll, Labor Relations, etc.). We plan to use Personnel Development( PD). What is that we have to consider in this case?

You have to consider how the company wants to see its reports while designing the HR organizational structure in PD. You have address the question: for headcount or regulatory reports to which level does the company need to report, to the division, department, group or team level. You have to design the SAP organizational structure to support the lowest level required. Lower the more levels of detail, the more maintenance required.

First of all we wanna tell you what we are doing step by step. After logon process, we entered the transaction code PM01 to access "Create InfoType" screen. Then we selected the tab "SingleScrn" to generate new objects into existing infotype. To do this, we entered "0005" as infotype no and "YU" as infotype version for Serbia. And then we just clicked on the button "Generate Objects" which exists right hand side of the screen.We got the error message "HCMT_BSP_PA_YU_R0005 does not exist".

IT0005 is a standard IT and already exists, you cannot CREATE it. If you want to create a customer infotype, it has to start with 9*.

We are in the service industry and have employees working in multiple cities on the same day. The system seems to allow one taxing authority per day. But the taxing authority needs to be picked up from the Service Order ideally . Can we achieve this?

You can create multiple infotypes 0208 (work tax area) for the same employee and the same day. Use the 'allocation percent' field . There is no integration however between time management and the work tax area. You may copy infotype 0208 to IT 9208. Infotype 0208 may be used to store the default work tax area and IT 9208 may be used to store the multiple work tax area. Create IT 9208 based on data from your external time management system.

We use clocking machine for recording employee clock-in/out . All the data is stored in a 'flat' file which is supposed to be uploaded into SAP. When tried to open and read the flat file using OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET commands, the Sy-subrc value returned is 8 and the error message 'the specified file not found' is displayed. We checked the path and the file is in the correct location. What is missing?

Check the path once again. Check the upper and lower cases. Define you parameter file name like filename-fileextern. Depending on the place where the flat file resides, the procedure varies. OPEN DATASET is used for upload of file from the host system. If your flat (text) file is on the PC, you can use the function WS_UPLOAD which will upload your text file into an internal table. This internal table data can be loaded into SAP. The syntax is as follows:

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'EXPORTINGFILENAME = pcfile

Page 107: SAP HR Q-A

IMPORTINGFILELENGTH = filelengTABLESDATA_TAB = internal table namePlease note that you have to specify the pcfile of length 128.

We are using the PAI user exit in MP000800 screen 2000 to modify the BET01 field. After modifying the value, the value is not re displayed. However the updated value is saved on commit. Why the value is not displayed after modification?

Explain the uses of the simple maintenance interface? 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.

In OM, how to get the details for group of employees (ex.) group of Drivers in the organisation?

Drivers can be identified depending on their position at which they are working and you can have a different job codes for them who do you want to look into.

What are Dynamic Actions? Give a few examples. What are the IT's you used in them. (I know only Birth of Child action, and the IT's used in it are Personal Data, Additional Payments)

Dynamic actions which are triggered by the system. They are result of some personnel action. If you make a change (personnel action) to the personnel data of an info type that then has an effect on the data of a second info type, the system automatically displays the info type. One of the main purpose of the dynamic action (of the system) is to have a consistent and coherent data. These actions are started automatically by the system, unlike the Personnel actions which you start by yourself. The best example is when you carry out an action lets say hiring, you need to populate a set of info types. Your initial entry of details in infotype 0000 is personnel action. When you do this system automatically displays next infotpes- which is result of dynamic action

 What are dynamic actions and how to configure it?

Dynamic actions are performed automatically by the system, depending on certain conditions. If maintaining one infotype has an effect on another infotype, the system automatically displays the second infotype for processing.

Dynamic actions can run in the background i.e. the user does not see the run on the screen.

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: *

Page 133: SAP HR Q-A

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. An employee is hired, and the probationary period is entered in infotype Contract Elements. Once this information is saved, the system automatically displays a record from the Monitoring of Dates (0019) infotype and the subtype Expiry of probation (1) for processing.

Dynamic Actions are automatically trigerred by the system when certain actions met. Eg: If you enter no of Child as 2 in IT0002, the system automically triggers the IT0021, subtype Child to enter the details, Otherwise it wont trigger the IT0021, if you didnt mention any value in no of child in IT0002. Same like that we can configure Dynamic Actions depends on our need using the path IMG->PM->PA-> Customizing Procedure -> Dyn Action. or by using Table T588Z.

How do I change the hiring date which is wrongly entered without rehiring and changing personnel numbers?

There are Three Scenarios when you may need to change hiring date:

1) After payroll is run - when hiring date is before actual Hiring date. 2) After payroll is run when hiring date is after actual Hiring Date. 3) Before the payroll is run.

1) PA30 -- Copy actions infotype - action type - incorrect entry -- save and come out PA 30 copy actions infotype -- action type - correct entry - now correct your entries, save your date is changed.

2) PA30 - Utilities - change payroll status - delete accounted to feild, save

Page 134: SAP HR Q-A

and come out - then again utilities change entry leaving date - corrrect the hiring date - save and come out.

3) PA30 - Utilities change entry/leaving date change your date and save.

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.

What is the feature IGMOD used for?

It is used to define your Infogroup.

Z. EXTRA QUESTIONS

How to Start 'AS IS' Statement?

I am new to preperation of the 'AS IS' phase statement while implementing the SAP HR india pay roll project. Previously I worked on the configuration part only but I am never involved in preperation of 'AS IS' statement.

Presently in my company they are asking me to implement sap hr india payroll project in india, for that I need to start with 'AS IS' statement.

How to start doing the project in 'AS IS' ?

Are you working as a technical person or functional person?

This work is of a functional consultant.It involves understanding the complete functionality of the system.

It involves detailed understanding of how the HR department is functioning because based on that only you would provide a solution to them. Like suppose you are implementing SAP HR module for them then in the AS-IS and TO-BE phase, you need to prepare all the documents of the process flow (you can prepare them in word). Like suppose you are implementing for PA then you need to identify how many personnel areas you need to make, how many subareas you will make, employee groups, subgroups, based on what you are classifying them? This all will come in the master data document which has to be approved from the client whoever he is .

Page 165: SAP HR Q-A

Like if the current system is on mainframe or for some specific applications like for recruitment the system is on mainframes and the client wants to keep that system as well then interfaces need to be identified which will be there because you will have to upload the data to sap system using bdc.

Like this for every process there will be a document.Even for actions like:

- Hiring

- Newly Hire

- Termination

- Transfer

- Layoff etc

You will have to see what all actions your client wants, like if there is an action transfer which is run for employee what all will be the reasons you will be configuring for that action. This will be told by the client which can come out after a series of meetings and after discussions you will have to come out with the document that these will be action types. These will be the action reasons, these will be the action codes for that. This will be in the TO BE process document.

After this phase is over complete configuration can be done.

Actually AS-IS process in summary involves a :

2) Series of meeting with the client.

2) Gathering complete information about the existing system. 3) Preparation of the blue print documents describing the complete AS-IS process ,i mean the existing system. 4) Flow charts should be included in the as-is blue print process flow document describing the complete process. 5) After this is finished u have to give the TO-BE process

Page 166: SAP HR Q-A

structure that will be implemented in SAP. 6) After that there will be some things which cannot be implemented in SAP so the gaps are to be identfied.

7) These gaps are to be documented in white paper for the client.

It is a lenghty process but not so difficult only the thing is that the functionality is to be understood properly

Is it possible to implement hr without fico in any company? If yes, then who will create the company and other things in enterprise structure. if my company is implementing only hr without fico and in hr also only personal administration is it possible? Actually my client querieing me that whether is it possible only to maintain the employee details as he got other accounting packages like tally.

It is very much possible to implement HR(PA) without FICO. But it sounds very odd that the company wishes to implement only HR & that too only PA.

Page 171: SAP HR Q-A

What about other modules ? If you want other modules like MM / SD you will definitely require FICO. Utilitiwise its really absurd if some company only want to use HR(PA).

It is not madtadtory to have FI/CO or other module while implementing HR but it is required to maintain the min. config while going for the HR whereever having the integration. So the basic config such as company code, cost centre, Business Area, etc. may be maintained by the consultation of FICO counter part

For the second part of your question, YOU, the HR guy, will create minimum information in FI and maybe CO (company code, maybe cost centers). Just create an IMG project for PA HR, and the needed basic FICO activities will be included.

We are in the service industry and have employees working in multiple cities on the same day. The system seems to allow one taxing authority per day. But the taxing authority needs to be picked up from the Service Order ideally . Can we achieve this?

You can create multiple infotypes 0208 (work tax area) for the same employee and the same day. Use the 'allocation percent' field . There is no integration however between time management and the work tax area. You may copy infotype 0208 to IT 9208. Infotype 0208 may be used to store the default work tax area and IT 9208 may be used to store the multiple work tax area. Create IT 9208 based on data from your external time management system.

The HR authorizations are different from other authorizations in the following ways:

Protect sensitive data

Page 178: SAP HR Q-A

Data in Human Resource application components is more sensitive than data in other applications. For legal and company reasons, this data must be protected from unauthorized access.

Technical differences

Because HR authorizations protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, they cannot be deactivated using transactions SU22 "Authorization Object Usage in Transactions" and SU24 "Authorization Object Check Under Transactions."

The names of all HR authorization objects start with P.

Time-dependency

Authorizations in the Human Resources (HR) component depend on the organizational assignment, among other things. Organizational assignments are time-dependent. If employees are transferred, for example, their organizational assignment can change. Therefore, HR authorization checks are time-dependent.

Staging for New Terms (CTS only!) (STAGING)

The systematic process of discovering and analyzing important human performance gaps, planning for future improvements in human performance, designing and developing cost-effective and ethically justifiable interventions to close performance gaps, implementing the interventions, and evaluating the financial and non-financial results.

I have to create a root organisation unit in Development system. Now I want to transport the changes to Test and production system. The Transport settings in The IMG is 'X' that no transport request should be generated. So, is it advisable to change the settings to blank and then develop the transport request and arrange the settings back to normal once the transport request is generated for PPOCE. If you only need to create one root object, it's simpler to do it manuallly in all three systems. Don't forget to check the range number in all the systems, though.

Or is there any other way to transport the changes made in PPOCE or shall I do that manually in every system. I have to only create a Root organisational unit with same object Id in all the systems.

Just find with the basis consultant he will make it for you. Give sugestion becoz generally we release the transport request in dev. server from there the basis consutlant will transport to QAS and production server. There are so many transport request goes to system. So if it get jam. You can tell your basis consultant to restart server. Then it will be clear.

DUPLICATE QUESTIONS

What is counting rules?

Counting Rule for Abs/Attn. - Specifies conditions that must be fulfilled for counting rule to be chosen, and specifications that decide how the attendances/absence are counted to determine the payroll days or hour.

I just wanted to know that when I am recruiting some body, I am generating his personal no also. Then I want to give him a training also. Now I just want to create 2 scenarios to clear my doubts.1--How to create a time schedule for 1 day training where when the breaks, working hours does not coincide with the training time and the person is also booked .2--How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the training time and the person is not booked. What are the steps in time management, so that I can understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not booked.

No need of time management. while creating an event you will be creating time schedule in the box select user defined where you can define different timings for different days with intwervals like weeks , months for this just select multiple.

I need to ask you that while I am trying to book one person in training for a business event type, they are saying that this person is not available for the business event. Why is it so? But that I can book a user for the same business event type. What is the differense between user and person? Now in case if I book a person for the business event, how can I see whether that person is available for that date or not. Moreover how can I see that that person is on leave or not.

Page 194: SAP HR Q-A

Create a new calendar in time mgt. with open days.means without any holidays and assign it in trng and evnt mgt. and remove time integration. To check for an employee leave or not just pa20 infotype 2001.(absence)

About time managemnet. Now I am trying to book person, but I have to see whether this person is on leave or what about the break schedule so that I can give training. For this purpose I am starting again. I am recruiting 2 person, generating 2 personnal no, then prepare the infotype about time and create 2 scenarios to see that in 1 case the person is booked for training (because time schedule is not coinciding wiith the training period) and I want to create another scenario where I can see the person cannot be booked (time period coincides with the training period of only 1 day.) What are the steps of time management about both the scenarios.

For checking whether the person who is going on leave or who has gone on leave, to find out just got to pa20 and enter infotype 2001 absence where you will be checking whether this guy is on leave or not. If he is ill go onleave so the data will be stored in this infotype.

What is a BSP application?

BSP (Business Server Pages) in the new dimension in SAP where by webapplication can be built. BSP uses HTML for the presenation and ABAP for the business logic. As an option there is also the Java flavour using JSP.BSP applications are far better than the old IAC\\\'s (Internet applicationcomponents) deliverd vide the ITS where the display format is kind of fixed.In SAP HR the new appriasal system used BSP.Well this is only basic information. You may wish to use the MBS (WASversion) to try and developed a simple application using BSP.

BSP is a set of pages that represent a user interface (layout and page flow definition). The layout part of a page normally contains ABAP or JavaScript code which is inserted into the HTML structure. They can contain server-side scripting code in either JavaScript or ABAP. BSP applications use all the

Page 195: SAP HR Q-A

conventional ABAP technologies, such as Open SQL and internal tables, allowing developers to create Web pages quickly. This enables existing SAP logic, data structures, and interfaces to be directly used in Web applications.

Integration of SD and HR

Is there any integration between SD module and HR module?

1) Primary Relationship : Enterprise Structure : the highest level of the HR module is Enterprise Structure and this is the base for every module.

While implementing SAP for the companies all the consultants of various modules sit together and identify the elements of enterprise structure from their point of view and form a common code for their various terminlogies.

Let us say Personnela Area ::::::: Human Resource Plant ::::::: MM and PP Sales organisation ::::::: SD

Like this for the same area we do address with several names from different SAP Modules.

For this Common Area we take a common code let us say 1000.

So the highest level of organisation after the company code is identified.

Next to this step Our responsibility is to identify "Personnel Sub Areas"

It is a division or Department below the level of personnel area.

From SD module below the sales organisation distibution channela and divisions will come. Also the sales Areas . these are all assigned to the Sales organisation. And we know sales organisation has to be assigned to the Company Code.

Meas From HR Personnel area = Sales Org in SD Personnel Subar = Distibution channel , Division

To identify which is the common terminology for personnel subarea, we need to identify the reporting structure of the company and its accountability at each level .

Page 196: SAP HR Q-A

THIS APPEARS TO SIMPLE BUT SO COMPLEX.

Like this maintaining the relationship at enterprise structure level shuold be done

2) Seconday Relationship (Indirect Relationships):

Sales areas are assigned to another sales areas. Here many to many relationships are maintained rather than many to one ( many Sales orgs to one company code) of primany relationships.

Here we should be very keen From H R point of view to identify personnel sub areas.

At the same time we should keep in mind the functionality of cost center also while framing the structure .

3) Employee relationships : HR Point of view: Once we identify the employee groups in the company like permanent, contracts, temporary , trainee etc., we do focus on Employee Sub Groups.

SD Point of view :

If the employee is at TRAINEE or PERMANENT or TEMPORARY has to be decided and accordingly should be assigned on recruitment at org assignemnt infotype 0001.

We aslo know that infotype 0900 may also be initiated for maintaining the master data of employee at PA 30 to assign sales organisation,Sales Office, Sales Groups to each employee.

4) Recruitment : We at HR have to identify the position and declare it as vacancy then we can recruit as per our procedure as every body knows.

Other wise go to the transcation code PAL1 and creat sales representative and assign him to respective org div through 0001 infotype. PAL3,PAL4 also may be useful.

Like this at enterprise structure and employee structure HR and SD share common ideas.

We use clocking machine for recording employee clock-in/out . All the data is stored in a 'flat' file which is supposed to be uploaded into SAP. When tried to open and read the flat file using OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET commands, the Sy-subrc value returned is 8 and the error message 'the specified file not found' is displayed. We checked the path and the file is in the correct location. What is missing?

Check the path once again. Check the upper and lower cases. Define you parameter file name like filename-fileextern. Depending on the place where the flat file resides, the procedure varies. OPEN DATASET is used for upload of file from the host system. If your flat (text) file is on the PC, you can use the function WS_UPLOAD which will upload your text file into an internal table. This internal table data can be loaded into SAP. The syntax is as follows:
