Custom Infotype

Hi all,
I created a custom infotype in PA. Its working fine in development client. But in all
other clients it gives a error message 'entry doesn't exist in V_T582A table'.
I think this is because of infotype characteristics are client dependent.But while creating infotype characteristics it doesn't ask for customizing request.
how can i transoprt IT char. to other clients.
Regards,
Ashwin

Hi,
Try to create the characteristics from a CUSTOMIZING client other than where you are doing. It may ask for a Customizing Request. Transport that, It should work.

Anji

hi,
a query in HR ABAP.
i have created a custom Infotype to store the CTC details of an employee. this custom IT needs to get the records auto populated, when they are created in Infotype 0008.
i have used the exit. EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 inside which an include program is written :ZXPADU02
using this, the records made to get create automatically in the custom IT.
but when we try to modify or delete those records thru the tcode PA30,
it does not allow to do so and throws a standard error message. as below.
Specified subtype is invalid
Message no. PG088
please help me out to fix this issue.

the exact point of the std error is,
i do the folowing steps.
1)_ for auto creating a record in custom IT Pa**** , i goto transaction, PA30, create record in IT 0008 with a basic Pay., click on save.
on saving , the EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 is called where i ve written a Z inlcude Program, which inserts the record in custom IT PA****. this is successful.
2) when i try to change or delete the same record which i ve created as above, through the Tcode PA30 for custom IT, PA
****, i get the error.
hope the problem is clearly mentioned

About to use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to create customer infotype issue:

hi
i want to create infotype use function(HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION).
this infotype is customer infotype.
the first scenario is:
i'm be sure no data about one employee in this infotype(9004).
to call with data upload function and put data into internal table IT_PA9004.
and the table data as follow:
one line: it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080201' , it_pa9004-endda = '20080930'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 50 (customer field).
two line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080201' , it_pa9004-endda = '20080930'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 60 (customer field).
three line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 70 (customer field).
four line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field).
i run the programme and get information is:
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
but i use the transation PA30 to view all data:
in database just exist one row:
four line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field).
the second scenario is:
in database the infotype have exist one row:
           pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
           pa9004-begda = '20080318' , pa9004-endda = '20080318'
           pa9004-zzvalue = X (customer field).
and i create another row:
line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080318' , it_pa9004-endda = '99991231'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field)
i run the programme and get information is:
11022887 insert ok.
the three scenario is:
    set HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION of import parameter operation = 'MOD'
    in any scenario will get error :not exist subtype .
what heppend about HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION working,i had to use this function to
   create other infotype of SAP owner.
   and will create successfully.
so i thank it may be config Constraints about customer infotype.
is time Constraints effect?
so i want to how to check it?
and if i want to create one infotype for customer using PM01 what some thing
must be taken into account.
think you advance.

How to create the custom infotypes in Campus Management

Hi,
Please help me how to create the custom infotypes in campus management.
Thanks,
Lakshmi.

Hi,
Steps to create a HR Infotype:
1) Go to Transaction PM01.
2) Enter the custom Infotype number which you want to create (Should be a 4 digit number, start with 9).
3) Select the 'Employee Infotype' radio button.
4) Select the 'PS Structure Infotype'.
5) Click on Create... A separate table maintenance window appears...
6) Create a PS structure with all the fields you want on the Infotype
7) Save and Activate the PS structure
8) Go back to the initial screen of PM01.
9) Click on 'All' push button. It takes a few moments.
10) Click on 'Technical Characteristics'. Infotype list screen appears
11) Click on 'Change'(pencil) button
12) Select your Infotype and click on 'Detail' (magnifying glass) button
13) Give 'T591A' as subtype table
14) Give 'T591S' as subtype txt tab
15) Give your subtype field as subtype field
16) Save and come back to PM01 initial screen
17) Click on 'Infotype Characteristics' ... Infotype list screen appears
18) Click on 'Change' (pencil) button
19) Click on 'New Entries'
20) Enter your Infotype number and short text
21) Here we have to set different Infotype Characteristics as per the requirement. (Better open another session with some standard Infotype's infotype characteristics screen and use as the reference to fill yours)
22) Save your entries.
23) Now the Infotype is created and ready to use.
24) If you want to change the layout of the Infotype as per your requirement...
25) In the PM01 initial screen...Select 'Screen' radio button and give 2000 as the screen name, then click on edit.
26) In the next screen.. Select 'Layout Editor' and click 'Change'.
27) Screen default layout appears...here you can design/modify the screen..change the attributes of the fields..etc.
28) Save and activate. (Don't forget to 'Activate at every level)
Subtype Creation :
Transaction PM01 Goto Subtype Characteristics. Click on Append and then subtype. Enter the name and description of subtype on screen.
Then goto technical Characteristics and maintain the details of subtype there. I.e name of subtype i.e. component name defined in PSnnnn. Subtype table is T591A.
Subty.text tab is T591S and time const tab is T591A.

How to create custom infotype for training and event management

hai freinds can any one tell me how to create custom infotype for training and event managment with following fields
PS No PA0000-> PERNR
Name - PA0001 -> ENAME
IS PS.No. PA0001-> PS no. of Immediate Superior
IS name PA0001 -> ENAME
thanx in advance
afzal

Hi,
Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.

Hiding table fields in custom infotype

HI guyz,
i have created a custom infotype which has 2 subtypes . certain fields should not be displayed when we select the subtypes. i have used the code below. the screen contains a table.
MODULE hide_FIELDS OUTPUT.
IF p9555-subty = '1'.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF screen-group2 = 'ABC'.
screen-active = 0.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
IF p9555-subty = '2'.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF screen-group2 = 'XYZ'.
screen-active = 0.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE. " hide_FIELDS OUTPUT
the fields which are not in the table are not getting displayed as required but the fields in the table still appear on the screen(they are grayed out). i do not want them to appear on the screen. can anyone help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Hi Madhu Reddy , instead of using screen-invisible = '1' , u can try this .
MODULE sereen_modify OUTPUT.
DATA: COL TYPE CXTAB_COLUMN.
LOOP AT TC-COLS into COL.      " TC is ur Table Control
IF col-screen-group1 EQ '007'.     " Modification group1 is say 007.Also u can add other              checks like pnnnn-subty = 1 here .
   col-invisible = '1'.
   col-screen-output = '0'.
   modify TC-COLS from COL index COL-INDEX.
     ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMODULE.                           " Call this module in ur Flow Loic PBO.

A custom infotype 90XX is created. The data cannot be modified or created through PA30 in this infotype. Through PA 40 actions only we can create/change the record/data. We have created some 1000 records in it. Now can we create a maintenance view for the infotype so that we can create, delete or change the data in the infotype as and when we want.

Hi,
pls chk dat u have maintained the 'Infotype Charecteristics' and 'Technical Attributes' correctly.
thanks,
teja.

Dear Gurus,
I have created a custom Infotype and fields are like
P9015-NAM01.
P9015-NAM02.
P9015-NAM03.
all are fields for name.
I want F4 help for these fields with values same as Family Members-First name given in 21 Infotype .
for all 3 fields same f4 help values.
But when i see in the screen for first field the values are populating as selected but for second field the selected value is not picking..
DATA: BEGIN OF it_val1 OCCURS 7,
    nam01 LIKE p9015-nam01,
    rel01 LIKE p9015-rel01,
   END OF it_val1.
SELECT * FROM t591s INTO TABLE it_t591s WHERE
     sprsl = 'EN' AND

In the same way i am calling for P9015-NAM02. & P9015-NAM03.
Is there any wrong in calling this FM...kindly help.....

Write the FM inside,
at selection-screen on value-request for <nam1>.
It seems that you are calling the funtion module for only first field. Repeat it for other two fields also-
at selection-screen on value-request for <nam2>
call FM.
at selection-screen on value-request for <nam3>
call FM.

Custom infotype creation issue

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to create a custom infotype based on certain conditions. But there is a problem while saving data in the infotype. The infotype is populated from another infotype automatically through dynamic actions.
But while saving the data for the first time it happens as per the requirements and data gets saved properly.
But when the data is saved for the second time for the same pernr , the previous data is over written even though the new record starts with a different begin data.Also i have created the infotype with time constraint '1'.
can you please let me know if i am missing anything while creating or is this a logic issue .? all the logic has been coded in the flow logic part of the screen.
also if i dont save the data in the infotype it does not pop up any message like 'data not saved' which usually happens with every infotype. Please clarify me on this as well...
Thanks,
Raj Thilak.

Hi,
Check the logic how it is updating the custom infotype . I think it is nothing to do with creation of custom info type

Krishna

Custom Infotype length limitation

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a custom infotype in ECC 6.0 with a table control which can have a maximum of 50 line items. Something similar to basic pay infotype and PA0008. While going through the SAP documentation I found the below statement .
"A new infotype is limited to a maximum of 1000 positions. This restriction is due of the length of structure PRELP, which is used as a container during infotype processing."
This is available at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/60/d8d8c7576311d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm
In our implementation, each record of standard table PA0008 could go upto 1200 characters with a maximum of 40 line items in the table control. We never used more than 5 line items and never had any problem.
Since the custom table control can have upto 50 line items, each record of my custom table pa9xxxx could go upto 4000 characters and I'm concerned that if this is going to be an issue. Any suggestions in this regard please ?
Thanks for your time,
Kumar.

Hi Venkata
Please see notes 563145 and 1168062 for help
Please also be aware that custom infotypes and the effects of changing structures are the customers responsibility

Change Pointers not being created for HR-PA Custom Infotype

Problem Description:
We have a custom Infotype in SAP to store the data for contingent employee - Infotype 9001. Change pointers is
turned on. We are running the program RBDMIDOC to send changes to Oracle IDM using message HRMD_A. The change
detected for all infotypes except 9001. For 9001, the change pointer is not created.
The following are the current configuration details:
IDOC Extension Created to Idoc type HRMD_A07 (ZHR_EXT)
custom segment zhr_seg
Change pointers are switched on.
Change pointers switched on for message Type HRMD_A.
IDOC configuration created for Port / Process code etc.
Maintenance of view T777D - Added ZHR_SEG.
If I add the segment ZHR_SEG as a 2nd segment to Infotype 0000, I dont get a syntax error. But the changes for Infotype 9001 are not picked up.
If I add the segment ZHR_SEG as a segment to Infotype 9001, I get a syntax error - check EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory segment missing) below.
EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory segment missing)
Message no. E0072
Diagnosis
The segment ZHR9001 has the attribute 'Mandatory' in the syntax description of the basic type HRMD_A07 (customer enhancement ZHR_EXT). However, the segment is missing in the IDoc. The segment number logged in the status record identifies the item before which the segment is missing.
This error may have been triggered by an unidentifiable segment before the expected mandatory segment.
Procedure
Please check the IDoc or the syntax description of the basic type HRMD_A07 (customer enhancement ZHR_EXT).

Were you able to resolve the issue?
If yes, could you please share what was done to resolve it.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Creating / Updating Custom Infotype Records

Hello everbody,
We implement alot of custom HR infotypes in our system, both PA & HRP.
For the past several we have been using BDC (Batch-Input) recorded functions in order to update / create the records in our infotypes.
We're currently facing an upcoming ECC upgrade , and I would like to lead a change that will eventually lead to us using generic SAP supplied functions.
I've researched a few functions that might do the trick:
RH_INSERT_INFTY:
This one is giving me an SY-SUBRC 2 error code - Insert error, I tried to select a current record and insert it as different objid but this doesnt work.
HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION:
I've read of several people that recommended using this function, but it is not released by SAP and I couldnt get it to work as well.
BAPI_HRMASTER_SAVE_REPL_MULT:
This one seems to work for sap infotypes but I dont think it suits custom infotypes.
What is the "official" way of doing such operations?
thanks in advance,
Eli.

Hello Dilak,
Im currently trying to insert a new infotype record of infotype HRP9226.
First I call function RH_GET_NEXT_NUMBER to get an objid.
then I fill an HRP9226 line.
after this i call the function:
call function 'RH_INSERT_INFTY'
exporting
FCODE = 'INSE'
vtask = 'S'
ORDER_FLG = 'X'
COMMIT_FLG = 'X'
AUTHY = ' '
PPPAR_IMP =
OLD_TABNR = ' '
REPID = ' '
FORM = ' '
KEEP_LUPD =
WORKF_ACTV = 'X'

NO_AUTHORIZATION = 1

OTHERS = 6
I'm getting an "Error_During_Insert" and Im out of options regarding what I can possibly do.

Regarding Custom infotype 9006 data maintanance

Hi,
There was an error showing while creating a record for custom infotype "9006" .
This infotype cannot be maintained directly
Message no. PG170
Diagnosis
You cannot maintain this infotype directly.
Like the Archived Objects infotype (0283), it can only be maintained by the system, and not manually.
System Response
Manual maintenance is not permitted.

It seems to me as some custom code is causing this error message. Can you get an ABAPPER to debug and check where this error message is being issued?
IT 9006 is a custom infotype, therefore either the message is appearing because the infotype has been copied from a standard infotype such as 0283, or this error message has been deliberately introduced by the infotype creator.
Atleast I could not find any table where this attribute is maintained.
