IDoc generation with Message Type HRMD_A with filter on Personnel Area

Question

Hello All,
We are facing an issue in generating IDoc using the standard message type HRMD_A.
When we have no filters on the Distribution Model, the IDoc is generated through RBDMIDOC. When we use the filter on BUKRS, it generates the IDoc but gives an error status "Cross-system company code XXXX does not exist". I know to how resolve this issue. But, we tried to filter the changes with Personnel Area this time. So I have used the field PERS_AREA in BD59 with segment type E1PLOGI. When I run the standard report RBDMIDOC it gives the message "No data selected for distribution".
I have checked the field name PERS_AREA from table TBD10, and it is mapped to T500P-PERSA. Change pointers are triggered and stored in BDCP2. Request experts to suggest what could be wrong with this.
Thanks,
Anil

Hello Michele,
If you have added BUKRS in BD59 for the message type, you will see Company Code (not filter1) in your filter criterion in BD64.
Have you included the following code in FILTER_VALUES_SET method of the BADI implementation.
  CHECK OTYPE = 'P '.
  SELECT * FROM PA0001
           INTO PA0001 WHERE PERNR =  OBJID
                       AND   BEGDA <= SY-DATUM
                       AND   ENDDA >= SY-DATUM.
record is valid today, no authorization check
    EXIT.
  ENDSELECT.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    FILTER1 = PA0001-BUKRS.   ELSE.
    CLEAR FILTER1.
  ENDIF.
Lastly, just make sure the record you are testing for has your desired company code PGPB.
