Data selection period & Person selection period

What's the difference between them?I'm really puzzled.

Hi,
In Data selection Period: record for the Period will only be selected.
In Person selection period : Record for the those person who are in that period will be selected.
If Data selection Period is avilable & Person selection period  is NIL:
Now if you Do not give any period in Person selection period  but there is dates in Data selection Period, then Person is considered as * i.e. all the Perosn will considered. In that case in your system if there is data inconsistency is there their record will also be considered. Hence it is likely that the report will be giving some error. It will be difficult to idenify.
There is suggested that both Data selection Period and Person selection period should be same to avoid any error in the report.

Devojit

  • Hi All, difference btwen data selection and person selection period in ldb

    Hi All, difference btwen data selection and person selection period in ldb -pnp
    If possible provide with an example .Its Urgent pls.

    Hi,
    Difference:--
    Data Selection Period
    The data selection period enables you to specify the period in which employee data records are read. Only records which overlap with the specified period by at least one day are selected. To define an interval, enter the start date in the left column and the end date in the right column
    Person Selection Period
    When you enter a person selection period, the system selects only those employees who are members of the enterprise on at least one day in the specified period. These are persons with a valid Organizational Assignment (0001) record. Entries in the standard selection options fields limit the personnel numbers that are selected. You can specify an interval by entering the start and end dates in the left and right columns respectively.
    Selection criteria in PNP are just used to determine the pernrs which meet them. For these pernrs then all wanted data is selected. This data then is not checked against this criterias.
    An Example:
    Pernr 4711 has benn assigned to costcenter 10 from 01.01.2004 until 31.12.2004. On 01.01.2005 costcenter changes to 20.
    If you now select all employees with costcenter 10 and list their costcenters, you will get both costcenters 10 and 20.
    Most reports which use PNP have to sets of date-ranges:
    - Person selection period that controls selection of pernr.
    - Other period that controls selection of data.
    If you set person selection period in above example to 01.01.2004 and other period to 01.01.2005 and select costcenter 10 you will in fact get employee 4711 with costcenter 20 shown.
    Same effect with org-unit or any other selection criteria.

  • Data selection and Person selection

    Hi all,
    What is the difference between 'Data selection' and 'Person selection' in PNP screen.(PNP logical database)
    I searched so many . But couldn't find appropriate one. Still confusing.
    Can any one explain me with example?
    must use both at a time or any one selection is enough?
    Which situation use 'Data selection' and which situation use  'Person selection' ?
    Thanks in advance.

    thanks for all reply.
    I have one pernr 700098
    Hiring date : 01.01.2008 - 16.08.2008
    firing date : 17.08.2008 - 31.12.9999
    I developed a customized report using PNP LDB.
    If , I entered 01.01.2008 - 31.12.2008 in 'Data selection'
                  3 in employee status( active)
    or
    I entered 01.01.2008 - 31.12.2008 in 'Person selection'
                  3 in employee status( active)
    If , I entered 01.01.2008 - 31.12.2008 in 'Data selection'
                  0 in employee status( active)
    or
    I entered 01.01.2008 - 31.12.2008 in 'Person selection'
                  0 in employee status( active).
    In above all cases picking the same record. what is the use of PNP screen?
    after 'GET PERNR' pernr structure get the value of latest record from infotype P0000.ie firing record. Because it doesn't bother the status.
    For below case picking the proper one.
    If , I entered 01.01.2008 - 16.08.2008 in 'Data selection'
                  3 in employee status( active)
    or
    I entered 01.01.2008 - 16.08.2008 in 'Person selection'
                  3 in employee status( active)
    If , I entered 17.08.2008 - 31.12.2008in 'Data selection'
                  0 in employee status( active)
    or
    I entered 17.08.2008 - 31.12.2008 in 'Person selection'
                  0 in employee status( active).
    Plz any one clear me.
    Thanks.

  • Difference  between data selection period and personal seletion period

    Hi
    Experts ,
    ples Expline ,
    Difference  between data selection period and personal seletion period. to Data screening .

    Data selection period means
    For example if u given any period,
    here we are checking whether data is valid in this period.
    Personal selection period means
    we are checking whether person is valid in a given period.
    Example is:
    For example if the employee resigned in a company on 15th of month.
    He can get the salary only at the end of month it means his data is avilable upto end of month.
    But when you consider his status from 16th to end of month
    the person is not available.
    So when u given date(16th to end of month) in data selection period is showing that person data is avilable.
    But when mention that date in person selection period it is showing no person is avilable.
    if useful

  • Review period and Selection period in Enterprise Compensation Management

    Dear all,
    Anybody can explain about review period and selection period???
    Theory says u2026
    Review period
    The period when manager can plan and submit recommendations through MSS
    Selection period
    The period which system retrieves the set of objects (Org units, positions and employees) for compensation on portal.
    But I am bit confused with thisu2026 when this review will happen? In the beginning?
    Say example
    If itu2019s a merit increment and 01.01.2011-31.12.2011 is the valuation periodu2026 and we will give the increment in effective 01.01.2012 .Then when it be will the review period  and when it will be the selection period?
    Anybody can explain with examples plsu2026.
    Thanks and Regards
    Richard

    Hi Richard,
    You supplied the correct definitions, but your explanation is not correct. 
    The Review Period is that period of time the manager can access the system to enter the recommendation for a pay change.  In your example it might be 12/15 to 12/31.  Only during this period will the review be available for entry.  The 1/1 effective date is set in the Item attributes. 
    The Selection Period indicates for which employees the manager can make recommendations.  For example, if a person is transferred on December 20th in the above scenario - you would want the first manager to still create the recommendation and the individual not to appear for the new manager.  Thus, you would put 12/15 as the beginning and ending date for the Selection period.  Each manager would then see his/her direct reports as of that date in the recommendation area.  If you put 1/1/ to 12/31 in this field, any manager of the individual during the year could see and make entries in the recommendation area for the employee.
    Hope these examples help.

    Hi,
    check for your variable restrictions in the report key figures.
    It will show up according to the rsctriction put there.
    Try to verify the vlaues with the key figures and if they are amtching then you have some issues with the data loads.
    But with your explanation it seems its just the you are looking at the wrong key figure( for actuals you are looking at previous year values)
    Or you are using wrong restrcition values at the key figure level( indicators indicating prior values used for actual values).
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • How to  Create  a selection variable for Fiscal period/year range

    How to  Create  a selection variable for Fiscal period/year range. The idea is to filter the query results using a fiscal period/year range user input rather than a full fiscal year input.

    Hi Priya,
    Open the query in a query designer -> in the left hand side you would find the fiscal year period under the time dimension -> right click -> create variable -> create the variable.
    The better option would be use any of the SAP provided variable. You would find them under the Fiscal year period in the left hand side in the query designer.

  • Many more selection methods!! Period!!

    Hi everyone, and especially you, the developers of Illustrator and other Adobe programs...:
    I work a lot in both 3ds Max and Illustrator, and I often find myself working with hundreds of thousand polygons. The selection tools are so cool in 3ds Max, and give me every option of selecting faces on a complex model... For instance - just naming SOME options available in 3ds Max:
    Rectangular selection.*
    Circular selection
    Fence selection (selection in perfect straight lines)
    Lasso Selection.*
    Paint selection (like a brush - everything within the stroke gets selected)
    Soft selection (Selection method using a tolerance setting, see reference picture: http://fanous.persiangig.com/egg/egg03.gif )
    Video examples of some different ways to select in 3ds Max: http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/video.php?detectqt=false&vid=1694
    .*Illustrator present
    Another thing I think is missing in Illustrator is the ability to "make selection from guides" - because, you already have the ability to make costume guides, but you can't make a selection out of them ( as far as I know?)
    There are soooo many tips and tricks you developers of Adobe products could "borrow" from 3ds Max... Fx. clicking on the scroll wheel on the mouse as the "Hand tool" instead of the "Space command" on the keyboard. In Indesign it is especially a pain in the ***, when you are in the middle of writing text, and just need to have a look further down on the page, then you get a double space in the text when clicking space. - Imagine how easy it would be with a click on the scroll button on the mouse instead?!
    Cheers!

  • OIC Error - Processed date must be within open periods

    Hi
    We have setup the GL Calendar as well as the periods in the GL. We are still facing this problem.
    In the compensation manager responsibilty in Manage Transacations --> Create The error mentioned in the snapshot occurs while creating the new manual transaction.Though we have setup the primary ledger, the accounting calculator as well as the open periods and the date being selected in the Processed Date is within the open period specified as shown in the snapshot but still we are facing this error A tip for this could be that how will we know that our Operating Unit is attached to that particular ledger. If we can confirm that the OU selected in the snaphot is associated to the ledger for which we have defined the open period.
    Any help will be much appreciated

  • Dimensions set to Selectable are not selectable w/in Smart View Data Forms

    When trying to use a data form by clicking "Select Form" in the Hyperion toolbar in Excel (not exporting from webspace), Dimensions that are defined as Selectable are not actually selectable within Smartview. Below is a portion of the script:
    BackgroundPOV=S#***.Y#***.w#***.V#***.I#***.C4#***
    SelectablePOVList=P{***}.E{***.[Base]}.C1{***.[Hierarchy]}
    Within the web, the form works fine and everything selectable is selectable. Within smart view, only Entity is selectable. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    HFM 11.1.1.3
    Excel 2007
    Edited by: JL on Aug 4, 2011 12:36 PM

    I have found this and its generally because the dimension is referenced in the column
    i.e Year and period is displayed in the column.
    In HFM you can select the members from the POV but when opening in SmartView you can't
    Solution is to remove the dimension from the col or row.
