Create multiple copies of a position- HCM Processes and Forms

Hi Experts,
Hope all are doing well.
In my current project we using HCM PnF to create positions and copy positions. We are using the FPM interface.
One of the requirements is to for copy position and the user can create multiple copies(max upto 30) of a position.
How can this be achieved in HCM PnF?
One answer will be advanced generic service. Do we have any other way of achieving this? If not, do we have any sample code where we use advance generic service to call SAP_PD/ or any code which might be helpful?
Waiting for you answers.
Thanks very much in advance.
Regards,
Saikat

Hi Kalyan,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I understand that we will have to achieve that through advanced generic service.
To be honest I haven't used advanced generic service for PD before and it will be helpful if you can give me some code(may be the one inside do operations and flush). With some sample code it will be easier for me.
Many thanks.

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

HCM Process and Forms Position Change Workflow Rejection

Hi Experts,
I am new to HCM Process and Forms workflows and have a simple query here.
With the conventional workflows (PR/PO) when Approver Rejects a workitem we send a notifcation to the INITIATOR and when he changes the PO/PR the workflow gets triggered via CHANGED EVENT.
However, here in POSITION CHANGE workflow when an approver REJECTS it at any level HOW WILL I SEND BACK THE FORM TO INITIATOR SO THAT he does the suggested changes and submits for RE-APPROVAL.
Idea is to avoid the burden of filling all the fields everytime
Please guide me on this.
Thanks a lot
Rgds,
Lakshmi

Hi,
If a change method doesn't exist you can create a new one where you can use a Call Transaction sentence that redirects to a tcode where you can modify the form.

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...

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

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

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 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

Thanks & Regards,
Sreelatha Gullapalli.

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.

Workflow could not start in HCM process and Forms

Hi All
It would be really helpful if you can suggest possible solution regarding case management case in HCM forms and process.
I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype 2 updation. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine. Now when I run the process from HRASR_DT it generates a process number but it also gives an error workflow could not start.I get following error (SWIA log - Step history)

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

Message Handling in HCM Process and Forms

Hi,
I have added own messages logic
MESSAGE_HANDLER Type Ref To IF_HRBAS_MESSAGE_HANDLER
message_handler->add_message( message = message ).
in "DO_OPERATION" method of Generic Service in HCM process and Forms.
Problem : We have handled messages in method "DO_OPERATION" but when we click on NEXT push button (review and send)at mss level, same error messages is displayed for 2 times above the adobe form.
Same error messages are displayed as many times as we click on NEXT push button.
Need Solution : It is supposed to display only once.
Thank You,
Swetha.C

Hi Shweta,
Please check SY-UCOMM in both the cases.
1. After Selecting Position
2. After Clicking 'Next' Button.
If SY-UCOMM is different, Then Add message to Message_handler only when Position is selected.
That means If sy-ucomm = Position select User command
Then Add message to Message_handler.
endif.
'Else dont ADD'
Hope this helps.

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 ?

Dynamic navigation, on HCM Process and Forms "Web Dynpro FORM"

Hi,
I'm trying to solve an issue regarding dynamic navigation, on a enhacement done at the Web Dynpro ABAP QISR_UI component for HCM Process and Forms.
I'm hiding the Adobe Form, and doing "do_dynamic_navigation" for a dynamic generated view container present at the VIEWSHOWFORM on the QISR_UI component.
The code works great, i.e.: the Adobe Form remains hidden and the custom form, using Web Dynpro appears.
I'm also using the HRASR00_PROCESS_EXECUTE_1 component to execute a Portal IView (Floorplan based component).
When the process is started, and the folowing actions are executed:
1- Select Employee
2- Select Process
3- Edit form
4- Press back (for example if the wrong process is selected)
5- Select the Process
6- Edit form again
There is a NULL exception, the "embedding_vca" (below) is NULL
SAPLWDR_RUNTIME_REPOSITORY
METHOD: IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_EMB_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT (LCL_VIEW_USA
* method IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_EMB_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT
method if_wd_rr_view_usage~get_emb_view_cnt_assignment.
result = me->view_usage->embedding_vca->get_api( ).
endmethod.
"IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_VIEW_CONTAINER_ASSIGNMENT
Can you guys give me an hand?
Regards

Hello,
Basically what I did was replacing the Adobe Form, by a Web Dynpro component that contains its own form, and associated logic.
Tecnically the steps to acomplish the task were:
1º Development of a component for showing a form. ( I suggest you to start with just a "hello world" or something very basic )
2º Enhance the QISR_UI component (VIEWSHOWFORM view, on the modify view method), something like
if form scenario = XXXXX then
hide the adobe form;
create a custom view container (the problem I had above), and create an instance of the component created on step 1
end if
3º Access the context that the original form returns (you can check the context debugging the VIEWSHORFORM view )
4º Pass the context to the component created..
I can't provide further details on this, I'm sorry...
I do not suggest doing this, this was a requirement so I had to do it... But this requires a lot of workarrounds, and lots of small changes in standard code related with process and forms... It's not, also, a "clean" solution
Regards,
Joã

Generic service to populate fields in HCM Processes and Forms

Dear Friends,
I am developing generic service to populate some fields in HCM Processes and Forms. Please let me know whether i need to develop a single service for each field in the form or is better to write one generic service for all the form fields.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Sapient,
By right, generic service means to be generic so that it can be re-used in any HCM forms thats needed the field/validation from the generic service.
Unfortunately in real situation, generic service are not reusable for some reasons:
- for the same field same field might have different validation in different form.
- there is dependency, example, to read special field
The key thing here is all about the design and planing before development. Whereby if you have all the info and requirement HCM form to be implemented(which you wont get it for most of the cases), and you have the overall view of all HCM to be implemented and you are able to plan ahead before coding, then you can design the generic service for each/related field.
If it is not the case, i would encourage to use 1 generic service for all the field in the HCM form. It would ease the team during support/maintenance phrase as well. For sample, please refer to HRMSSRCF_REQUISITION_ADVANCED for Create Requisition form.
This is my humble opinion based on my experience working on HCM forms. Please do comments and discuss.
regards,
Xiang Li

Retrieving attachments in hcm processes and forms

Hi Experts,
We have implemented HCM processes and forms and in one of the custom processes which we have created. We have an attachment option where the user attaches the document and the document is reviewed by the approver.
But how does the administrator later on retrieve the attachments for a specific personal number.
Is there any way to search for attachments based on Personal Number?.
If not - what is the ideal solution to retrieve the attachments .
Please help me in this regards,
Thanks in advance

Hi Chris,
Can you please give me more details on how to set up the Mass termination process in HCM. I try to built LSMW through PA40, but it did not work out. Can you give me more details on what are steps for the configuation. IF the process includes any ABAP requirement, please let me know, I have to talk to my ABAPer.
