HCM Processes and Forms - Create multiple records of one infotype (eg 0008)

Dear all,
I'm trying to create two new records in infotype 0008 (basic pay). Regarding it's time constraint 1 it should like the following:
Before
01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 2000u20AC
After
01.01.2010 - 08.11.2010 - 2000u20AC
09.11.2010 - 31.12.2010 - 2500u20AC
01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 3000u20AC
So I want to add two splits two the record. One is easy, as it's done by the SAP_PA operation. I experimented with the record indices and duplicating my fields, but it didn't work. Another idea would be to retriggerd the SAP_PA several times using scenario steps.
Can you give me a hint, by which lever multiplee splits can be achieved? Or is this not possible at all?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Thanks for your fast reply.
Knowing this as a fallback is comforting. I just want to ensure, that I don't apply any coding, if a task is also possible by customizing.
Another idea I had in the meantime was to execute the SAP_PA several times. Do you have any experience, if this works to create multiple records in one infotype?

HCM Process and Forms - Create and End record using the same form scenario

Hi All,
I have the following requirement while using HCM Processes and Forms: Using one form/scenario I need to both create a record or be able to end a record for infotype 841. When looking at the back-end service SAP_PA I have operations Create, Change, Change without delimiting and Delete. My requirement would be to do both a create and a delete I guess, but these two can't be selected at the same time while configuring the form scenario.
I was thinking about doing somethign with the startdate and enddate instead of using the effective date. But I have no clue how to do that.
How would this be possible?
Thanks,
J

You are correct in assuming that you cannot have a create and delete on the same infotype. The config will not allow it. Instead, configure the create and then do the delete via a call to you own method in the workflow or via the advanced generic service
Cheers

Unable to add a process to the HCM processes and Forms Option on MSS

Hi,
We are on EP 7.0 / xSS SP 7/ EP 7.0 and using HCM processes and forms. I have defined one new Process and made all the required configurations (Form Scenario, ISR Scenario, Process Start configuration for the Manager Role, Etc...) at the Backend for the process. Does anyone know how to add this process to the list of processes that are available to pick from when we click the HCM Processes and Forms Service on EP>MSS>Team.
Do I need to define a Service and Resource for the process under IMG Homepage Framework?
Is there any setting required on the Portal?
I would appreciate step by step guide to add a new process to the existing list of processes that manager sees when 'HCM Processes and Forms' link is used.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi,
You have to allow the process configured for manager role. This can be done in process configuration.
You should add HRASRB ( manager role) in the process configuration so that manager can see the process in the list.
Also manager role does not use home page customizing to list process in the table. This will not help.
There is a function module HR_ASR_SELECT_PROCESSES that is used to filter out processes relevant for the role and the current user.
Check if process is returned using this function module once you have done the changes.
Hope this helps !!
Best regards,
Ruchi

How to create Digital Personnel Foile for HCM Processes and Forms

Hi I am creating HCM Processes and Forms using FPM Forms. Now to print these forms Alternate Adobe forms also developed. But once the entire process is completed by HR Admin and in future if they want to see the already processed form and if they want to take print out they should be able to do it. So, based on some knowledge I am assuming we can achieve this by Digital Personnel file creation. Can any one please confirm. Whether they can open already processed form and how to get print these forms as this is FPM form and no print option is available.
In order to configure DPF, can any one share step by step procedure to configure DPF. I dont have any idea on SAP Records Management as I felt this basic is required. Friends help me here.
Regards,
Nayani.

This seems possible.
Refer here ... Print Form (FPM Form Type Only) - HCM Processes and Forms - SAP Library
For DPF - ensure you have used the anchor correctly refer Save PDF file added to processes and forms WDA
Regarding the possibility of being able to print it from process browser - I am not sure.
Process browser for latest release is documented here...

Creating a new position and updating IT 1028 using HCM processes and forms

I have to create a new position and update the related infotypes using the design time framework of HCM processes and forms. The problem I am facing is the info type 1028 is not a part of the de coupled infotype framework and does not appear in the service fields list. How can I update the infotype 1028? I was thinking of updating it using the FLUSH method of the class implementing the ADV services interface IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE_ADVANCED by calling the function module RH_INSERT_INFTY. But, how do I get the position ID created? Is there any other way of achieving this? Please help as soon as possible.

HI
Create one Function Module to return all the vacant positions and load that in a drop down.
For IT1028 you have to update via the RH_INSERT_INFTY.
Kind Regards,
Mukesh

Infotype 0000 Creation using HCM Processes and forms in MSS

Hi,
I need to create an Action for Transfer an employee using HCM Processes and Forms. So, my form should update infotype 0000, 0001, 0008 etc.
But when I provide create operation for infotype 0000, system is throwing short dump. When I change the operation to change nothing was creating in infotype 0000 for that respective employee. Is there any way to update infotype 0000 using HCM Processes and forms. Please help me here.
Thanks & Regards,
Nayani.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply mate.
I understand that for IT0000 update we don't have to configure it explicitly.We just assign values to MASSG and MASSN and IT0000 should update. I am doing exactly that.
For the "condition" we do have multiple rules for that and I am familiar about the trickthat the rule fields must be part of the SAP_PA service which is actually making the update. That's all in place and that's working fine.
Now coming to the problem -
The "action" is "Return from Career Break" where the only PA infotype that has to be updated is IT0000. Besides that we are updating Absences,IT2001.
I have tested the process thoroughly and it seems that the system does not allow an IT0000 update without any other PA data change. To test this, I added a PA infotype update in my config and at that time IT0000 got updated beautifully. But when I am trying to update only IT0000, it fails.
To solve the issue, I had a discussion with my team and we have decided to copy IT0001 along with IT0000. So as of now, we have sorted out a workaround but the technical issue is something I would like to look into.
If you figure out anything then please let me know.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Saikat

Regarding scripting in adobe HCM process and forms

Hi Gurus,
I am working on adobe HCM process and forms. Configuration has been done for HCM process and forms and I am getting the scenario stage level in the forms based on which I will give the visibilty to differenct levels of approvals in the form.Scripting has been done for that.
When form is initially loaded, I am making invisible some of the fields. On choosing the drop down the value that I make invisible is visible again. I found that Scenario stage that I bound to the form attribute is getting cleared off, when drop down event is called. Drop down event calls the generic services to fill the drop down values. Drop down used is from ISR Controls from the library.
The scripting that I used in the drop down event is as belows
if (xfa.form.data.Page1.FORM_SCN.rawValue == "INIMGR_LVL1")
xfa.form.data.Page1.DE.DEContent.HR_VIEW.presence = "invisible";
xfa.form.data.Page1.FORM_SCN.rawValue this is getting cleared off. Form SCN is the field in the form where in which I bound the attribute scenario stage.
Pls help me on this.
Regards,
Krishnan Paramasivan

Solomon,
Thanks for the earliest response. can you explain me in detail. Where to check/select the form scenario stage field to be passed over. In scripting the coding written as below:
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "DD_GET_POSITION";
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
DD_GET_POSITION is the event created in generic services and used in the user events in the form scenario stage in HRASR_DT.
Any further guidance on this ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Krishnan

HCM Process and Forms & Global employee management

Hi all,
I would to know if anyone of you experience in implementing HCM Process and forms for Global employee management(GEM).
I would like to know the difficulties or challeges .
How the forms will work.
Means if i have created a form using Personnel number without GEM.
Later if i Implement GEM.do i have to Change the form ?
Does P&F has any option choose the employee based on personnel id anywhere or we have to use personnel number and process as existing.
what could be stuctures for each infotype which are country specific .
Please share your experience on this.
Regards,
Nachy

Forms and processes are enabled for CE/GE.
what process you would lile to do ?
refer HR_PA_US_ADDL_CONTRACT sample process and note 1366872
1) The central person id of the existing (reference) pernr should be
   read with the help of a generic service and this should be made
   available for the SAP_PA service so that a new central person is not
   created. This should be set in the field CENTRAL_PERSON in the
   form scenario.
2) An explicit operation on IT0709 should not be defined in the
   infotypes and operations of the design time tool. This is
   automatically handled by the infotype framework through the data
   sharing mechanism (table T582G). Kindly ensure that IT0709 is
   enabled for data sharing and please remove it from the process.
3) The reference pernr data and the shared infotypes must be read with
   the generic service only (refer to note 1366782), these should not
   be read with the SAP_PA service as this may lead to a clash in the
   record keys and can lead to undesired results.

HCM Process and Forms Dynamic Actions

Hi
We are implementing HCM process and forms and presume that dynamic actions will have to be recreated as rules.
Can anyone give any guidance in this area as some of our dynamic actions are quite complex.
Many thanks
Ian

Hi,
For HR forms please follow the following link
HCM Processes and Forms (www.service.sap.com/erp: - SAP ERP Human Capital Management -> Workforce Process Management -> HCM Processes and Forms -> Media Library)
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000081848&
A dynamic action has the following components.
Infotype Number (INFTY): specifies the infotype for which you want the dynamic action triggered
Subtype (SUBTY): narrows the focus to a specific subtype
Field Name (FIELDN): starts your action when a maintenance function is performed on a particular field
Function (FC): specifies the various maintenance operations to which your dynamic action would respond. They are 02 (change); 04 (create); 06 (create and change); 08 (delete); 10 (change and delete); 12 (create and delete). Dynamic actions are only applicable in maintenance operations, not in display functions.
Sequence Number (NO): refers to a sequential number.
Step (A): specifies a particular type of action. No dynamic action is executed if the function character has a value other than one of the following:
             P: Plausibility checks, which allow you to check certain conditions.
             I: Calls an infotype for processing
             W: Called after the I statement and used to assign values to screen fields while creating or copying another infotype record through the I statement
              F: Calls a FORM routine (subroutines in ABAP) during your action. The routine may reside in or out the module pool MPNNNN00.
             V: Lets you treat collectively a number of fields for which you want to define a common dynamic action
              M: Sends SAP Office mail
Variable function part: The variable function part along with the step indicator forms the core part of your action. It specifies the processing details when the dynamic action is triggered. For example:
Requirement: When the postal code or the city of an employeeu2019s permanent residence is changed in infotype 0006, an email should be sent to the administrator.
INFTY    SUBTY    FIELDN    FC          NO.    STEP       VARIABLE FUNCTION
0006           1             ORT01      06             001           V               PSTLZ
0006           1             PSTLZ      06             002           M               M0001
The V statement on line 001 is used to link the two fields to the M statement. The statements relevant to field PSTLZ are also applicable to the ORT01 field.
When a record is created or changed in infotype 0006 of permanent address, an email is sent using the feature M0001. Information such as the recipient address, subject, and content of the mail is derived from M0001.

Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

Error while Accessing the HCM process and forms

Hi All,
We have implemented HCm process and forms. Everything was working fine earlier but for past few days we are facing an issue after selecting an employee and clicks on the select process we are getting the following error. Kindly povide the solution.
The following error text was processed in the system GOA : Component Usage OADP_USAGE Does Not Have an Active Component
The error occurred on the application server sapgoa_GOA_37 and in the work process 4 .

Hi,
In EhP4, the employee search is created using OADP framework . And if the relevant configuration is not maintained , I mean there is a view cluster where the applications (PA/PD) and relevant object types are maintained.
If this is not maintained, this creates a error. Please check .
Hope this helps.

Appreciate any help.

Hi Swati
One of the similar (not exact) issues were resolved by correcting the event linkage....please refer thread:
http://scn.sap.com/message/14848795#14848795
Not sure of the details of the the resolution, maybe Ragavendran Kanagaraj can throw more light.
Just some high level checks (if not done already):
Check event linkage errors in SWEQADM if anything is related to your WF
Check in SWEL if it's showing any more details (not sure if it will)
Any warnings in syntax check of WF template (PFTC) or WF definition (SWDD)
Any error sin binding

Query on HCM Processes and Forms

Hi
I am facing some issues in configuring Hiring Forms in HCM Processes and Forms. I can place them in 2 baskets and describe each of them below. I would appreciate any advise on ways and means to overcome these errors.
Basket #1
I want to use the standard forms SHU1, SHU2 in development environment to understand the HCM P&F functionalities. I copied these form scenarios from client 000 and did all the configurations as outline in IMG activity HRAdministrative Services >> Configuration of Forms and Processes >> Sample Processes for HCM Process and Forms.
When I run a check using HR Administrative Services >> Configuration of Forms and Processes >> Configuration of Forms >> Check Consistency of Form Scenarios and select Form name, I get errors along following lines:
u2022     Error Message Sample#1 Form scen SHU1 vers. 00000 serv. SAP_PA: Only one deflt value allowed for field I0009_ZLSCH
u2022     Error Message Sample#2 Form scen. SHU1 vers. 00000 service SAP_PA: Field I0007_ARBST default value is not created
u2022     Error Message Sample#3 ISR scenario SHU1 version 00000: Field I0001_BUKRS is missing
u2022     Error Message Sample#4 Form scen. SHU1 vers. 00000: Field I0007_ARBST service for default values not required
However, at the bottom of the log I see this message in Green: Form scenario SHU1 version 00000: Form scenario is consistent
I tried to make the changes as suggested in the Long Text for each of these messages. Probably due to the fact that I am using standard delivered forms, I get this message u201CDo not make any changes (SAP entry)u201D and I am unable to save the changes.
Basket #2
In this basket I have Org_Change form and have managed to go the whole nine yards and complete the configuration in ECC. The consistency checks for process and forms are in green. However, I am unable to start the process through Portal. I get this message u201Cno data availableu201D when I try to select a process.
Among the 5 roles delivered in SAP as initiators for processors u2013I am interested in 3 of them HRASARA (for HR Administrator). I have configured HRASRA and HRASRB as initiators for Org_Change. However, I am not able to figure out how to link these roles to portal roles such as SAP_ASR_ADMINISTRATOR, SAP_ASR_MANAGER etc.
I would appreciate any advise on ways and means to overcome these errors.
Thanks

Have you been able to fix your issue in Basket # 2 ?

Use of BADI in HCM Processes and Forms

Hello Friend's,
I am feeling trouble in learning HCM Processes and Forms.. Actually i dont know what is the role of BADI in HCM Processes and Forms. one more thing i need to know is OPERATION for backend service. What is the use of operation and how i can trigger the badi methods when running in portal.

Hi Ramesh,
Hope this is not too late to help.
Do_operation will be called whenever there is roundtrip, by triggering event USER_EVENT_CHECK using form scripting.
example,
To trigger roundtrip for a drop down list, under exit* event add this
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "USER_EVENT_CHECK";
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
