Compensation Planning/Approval

Question

Hi,
We are implementing a Compensation Planning/Approval on ERP 2005. We need to customize the standard functionality as per our requirements. We need to remove some fields from standard view and add custom fields.We have created some custom infotypes and function modules for the same. We have configured columns, column groups, dataviews etc..How do I link custom function module with columns of OADP to fetch data or save data to R/3?
Appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kathy

Answer 1

The OADP simply provides you with views of the org. data based on your config. So I am not sure what you mean by "save data to R/3"....the OADP does not do that. Your possibilities are two-fold...either the data selection side or the data display side.
For data selection....
In configuration for the "Define Rules for Object Selection" , you can configure it to use a function module instead of an evaluation path....per docs:
=======================================================
Function Module for Object Selection
Use
To enable the Object and Data Provider to display an organizational structure view, it must first determine the relevant objects. Therefore, you must define an object selection that is composed of object selection rules or a class for an object search. An object selection rule comprises an evaluation path together with an evaluation depth or a function module for determining objects.
In this field, you store the name of the function module that can be used as opposed to the evaluation path to determine the relevant objects.
=======================================================
If it is not necessarily the data that is pulled but a specific column you want to change to display other data based on your pulled data, you can also use a custom FM at that point as well. In the "Define Columns" configuration, you have the option for :
=======================================================
Define Columns
Use
In this IMG activity, you create columns. In these columns, the user can display additional information about the objects you specified for the defined object selections.
If the column content is to be determined in the backend system, enter a function module that is to get the column content.
To create a function module of your own, use the function module HRWPC_CB_CONTENT in the standard system as a template. You must use this as a template since your function module must have the same interface as the function module in the standard system.
If you want to reuse a function module that you have created for the Column Framework of the Personnel Management component, enter FM from Column Framework in this field.
You can find the relevant function modules in Customizing for Personnel Management under Global Settings in Personnel Management -> Column Framework -> Define Your Own Columns/Change Column Group Text -> Define Your Own Column ->Column Group Definition (view T77COL).
========================================================
Hope this helps!
