Custom infotype and validations

Hello All,
I am maintaining a custom infotype 9990 for my client, the infotype stores information about stock options and equity plans. Now I have added a field. The requirement is that when user enters the field or even when tries to change it , either using direct entries in SE11 or even through PA30, then I need to make sure that the value is greater than another field in another table. Doubts raised are
1. Do i need a badi or user exit.
2. Whatever I need where do i need to implement it, i mean in particular function module and at wat fcode and wat program?
Spare me if the requirement is too vague. Please ask for specifications if needed.
thanks and regards,
Reena

1) go to SE80 and ur module poolprogram for Infotype 9990 say it is - MP999000.
2) go to ur screen of infotype say 2000
3) in the PAI of the screen u will find the below code just below the" Module Exit at Exit command" -
CHAIN.
    FIELD P9343-BEGDA.
    FIELD P9343-ENDDA.
    FIELD P9343-SALARY.
    FIELD P9343-DNAME.
    FIELD P9343-HDATE.
    FIELD P9343-PLANS Module Check_field.
    FIELD P9343-ORG.
    FIELD P9343-DOB.
    FIELD P9343-NAME.
    MODULE INPUT_STATUS ON CHAIN-REQUEST.
ENDCHAIN.
4) in above code say for field PLANS i need to check that it shud be greater than field ORG.so i have written a module for field PLans named as 'Check_field'.
5) code of that module -
*&      Module Check_field INPUT
      text
module Check_field input.
if P9343-PLANS LT P9343-ORG.
MESSAGE E000(000) WITH 'Position can not be smaller than org unit number'.
endif.
endmodule.                 " Check_field INPUT

Create Custom Infotype and handle Modification/Updation

Hi All,
I need to create a custom infotype and handle few checks while creating/updating the existing one.
I have gone through the existing threads and have figured out the creation part.
Could anyone tell me where i need to code the checks while creating/updating.
I tried editing the PBO/PAI of the Module pool program, but as its standard, is asking for access key. Do we need to code this in any userexit or implement BADI.
For example,
a) i need to check that only one instance of the infotype should be valid for an
employee at a time
b) This infotype should be created for only Employees and not contingent workers.
c) Few fields on the body section needs to be updated/modified.
Thanks and Regards
Manish.

You can use the IN_UPDATE or AFTER_INPUT Methods of the BAdI HRPAD00INFTY to perform your validations.

Please fallow the below steps to create the custom infotype. If you have any quires let me know.
For Creation of Infotype first Go to Transaction PM01, Enter the custom Infotype number which you want to create, it should be a 4 digit number and have to start with 9xxx.
then select the `Employee Infotype' radio button
after that select the `PS Structure Infotype'
then click on Create A separate table maintenance window appears
then Create a PS structure with all the fields you want on the infotype
Save and Activate the PS structure

Custom Infotypes and Change History

HR Gurus,
I am being told that with custom infotypes, we can not track change history.
THe scenario I have is that I need to be ableto capture Address Changes (Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, State and Zip) and send a Delta for the changed address.
In my unique situation, I have been told that if Address Line 2 is deleted, than the change histiry can not capture the fact that it was deleted and all change history regarding its prior existnace will be deleted if the Address Line2 is removed.
I am not entirely sure=, but I wanted to ask you guys anyway if I woukd be able to track Change history.
-Feroz

Hi Feroz,
Do not believe everything you hear. You can view changed and deleted information from custom infotypes and fields.
First, I am not sure why you need a custom infotype for addresses when IT0006 is available to you. You can more easily create a custom subtype if the supplied ones do not meet your needs.
But for any PA infotype including custom infotypes, you can use the Logged Changes to infotype Data report (RPUAUD00). You have to set up the infotype to be logged in the IMG: Personnel Management --> Personnel Administration --> Tools --> Revision --> Set Up Change Document. In the first section, you list the infotypes you want to track changes for including your custom infotype. In the second step you list the fields you want to track. "*" means any change to any field. And in the third step you indicate whether the information is kept as a long term or short term document.
When you run the report, you can enter the infotype and period you want and the first list will be all changes to that infotype. Select one to view the details and you will see each field listed with the original data and the new data. If a field is deleted, it will appear blank in the new area, but you can still see the old entry in the previous data column.
Also, if an individual deletes a entry in an infotype by using Copy and enters in a new start date, the old record will be delimited, but still be available for viewing. Also, every infotype records who made changes and the date of the change.

Hi @all,
i've got a serious problem here. The task is to Implement a custom Infotyp called TrainingTarget/goal,
this IT is supposed to show up when you enter TA lso_psv2/or lso_pvct when you create a new Infotyp.
I build the Infotyp via pm01 and customized it in spro. I can see my Infotyp but i can't do aything with it, so i guess i am missing a link somewhere. Has anyone experience with that kind of situation or some tutorials regarding LSO and Infotypes?
Sorry for my poor explanation of the problem, if there are any missunderstandings please askme and i try to explaine it better.
Thanks in advance

Is there any wrong in calling this FM...kindly help.....

Write the FM inside,
at selection-screen on value-request for <nam1>.
It seems that you are calling the funtion module for only first field. Repeat it for other two fields also-
at selection-screen on value-request for <nam2>
call FM.
at selection-screen on value-request for <nam3>
call FM.

Custom Infotype length limitation

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a custom infotype in ECC 6.0 with a table control which can have a maximum of 50 line items. Something similar to basic pay infotype and PA0008. While going through the SAP documentation I found the below statement .
"A new infotype is limited to a maximum of 1000 positions. This restriction is due of the length of structure PRELP, which is used as a container during infotype processing."
This is available at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/60/d8d8c7576311d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm
In our implementation, each record of standard table PA0008 could go upto 1200 characters with a maximum of 40 line items in the table control. We never used more than 5 line items and never had any problem.
Since the custom table control can have upto 50 line items, each record of my custom table pa9xxxx could go upto 4000 characters and I'm concerned that if this is going to be an issue. Any suggestions in this regard please ?
Thanks for your time,
Kumar.

Hi Venkata
Please see notes 563145 and 1168062 for help
Please also be aware that custom infotypes and the effects of changing structures are the customers responsibility

Customer Infotype modifiction problem

Hi all,
I have created a Customer Infotype using TCode PM01. It works fine.I am able to enter data using transaction PA30 and choosing my customer infotype and clicking create. Everything is fine till here.
Now I modified its structure and added some fields, and put those fields in the screen, and declared them in my module pool of the infotype as well. I activated the infotype. its fine.
Now when I try to make some entries in my customer infotype using PA30, the fields which were present before are ok - I am abl;e to enter data in them.But the fields I added later in my infotype are all GREYED and I am not able to put data in those fields. Please suggest what to do.
Thanks
Ribhu

Hi Ribhu,
Please try the below suggestion.
If you had added 3 new fields,
<b> zzamount.
zzyear.
zzinterest.</b>
You will have to write similiar code in the PAI module
of the screen you modified.
    process function code: ALL fields that appear on the
     screen HAVE TO BE listed here (including output-only fields)
*-Customer specific fields in Infotype "9123"
<b> CHAIN.
    FIELD p9123-zzamount.
    FIELD p9123-zzyear.
    FIELD p9123-zzinterest.
    MODULE input_status ON CHAIN-REQUEST.
ENDCHAIN.</b>
Thanks,

Updation problem in custom infotypes.

HI ALL,
I have created two custom infotypes, and the process is that one infotype updates the other infotype.
When i open the first infotype by pa30 and then open the second and changes some value which update the first infotype table. now when i go to first info type it shows the old value. untill i exit pa30 and start again then it shows the updated values. what is the solution for this.
Thanks.

Hi abap sap,
It is becasue of PAI and PBO module itterations.
Go to the custom related program created with that infotype and insert your logic to clear the field contents.
Reward if useful!

HR Custom InfoTypes problem when added to custom Infoset Report for PA

Hi, I am having an issue with the adhoc query /SAPQUERY/HR_ADM. I added the custom infotypes 9* I created to this standard infoset by using SQ02 and adding these by going into the menu path Edit--> Change InfoType selection. I regenerated this object and attached to a transport. The query runs fine in the DEV system where I made the change...I can choose fields for output or selection from the standard infotypes and custom infotypes as expected. I migrated this transport to the test system and now when I try to do the same thing I get an error when I try to click on any object in my custom infotype and some of the standard infotype. I tried regenerating and resending to the test system and still have the same issue. This is the error in the dump:
    79 * create work area
    80   create data data_wa like line of data_table.
    81   assign data_wa->* to <data_wa>.
    82   assign component fcat_wa-fieldname OF STRUCTURE <data_wa>
    83     to <field>.
    84
    85   loop at t_fcat into fcat_wa.
    86     field_filled = 'X'.
    87     assign component fcat_wa-fieldname OF STRUCTURE <data_wa>
    88     to <field>.
    89     if sy-subrc <> 0.
>>>>>       raise internal_error.
It appears the TEXT488 is the value in the fcat_wa-fieldname and I do not see this in the data_wa.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem or what I might try or look at to see what the difference is between the DEV system (where it works ok) the the Test system where it is giving me an error?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Laurie

After further investigation I found the problem to this was in the generation of the objects. Even though I generated before attaching to a transport and all looked ok, there is some sort of bug causing it to not generate properly so I had to sign on to each environment and generate the object in SQ02 including in Production. After I did this the custom infotypes were accessible in the Infoset.
