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.

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.

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.

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.

How to realte Sales doc. No, Item and the change history

Hi,
I am developing report to display Sales docs that are blocked for delivery at least once.
I am trying to relate Sales Doc.No VBELN with Objectid field in CDHDR table. But I can't relate at item No. level. Is there any way I can relate Sales Doc. No, Item and Change History data in CDHDR table.
ThanQ for ur time.
Cheers,
Senthil

First of all to understand the various objects which are required to be recorded for change pointer documents generation.
As and Example ,take SKA1/SKB1 tables which are designed to hold the GL Master information and key field is SAKNR. When the correspoding dataelemetn is clicked, a new window is openend which has a Check box duly checked at the bottom left corner. If this check box is enabled, System keeps an eys over these objects and generates the Change Document as and when this data changes in SAP repository.
This enabled for Master data (GL,VENDOR, CUSTOMER etc.,) and Transaction data(PO,FI DOC, SD etc.,).
Now, for a system to generate the document and have an entry into repository, the corresponding MESSAGE type should be enabled for changes recording locally apart from global enabling of changes recording.
As far as Proecss is concerned, for MM,SD,FICO etc modules the change document tables are CDHDR adn CDPOS HR module the tables are PCDHDR and PCDPOS.
First move to CDHDR and supply the Object (like KNKK for customers data whose credit limit data has been changed) , CHANge indicator (U/D etc.,)and collect the change number
and pass this change number to CDPOS and get the table, field, old value and new value.

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

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.

Time constraint 'T' for custom infotype

HI experts,
Im creating a custom infotype and i want to assign time constraint 'T' for that infotype. But while assigning the time constraint in Infotype characteristcs in PM01, it throws the below error message.
"TIme constraint T is not allowed for 9021 infotype".
Pls tell me what is the pbm here and how to solve the problem?

Hi,
Try this.
If a subtype needs to be maintained for the Infotype then some additional steps also needs to be performed
before providing Infotype characteristics
1. Select the Technical attributes from the initial screen of PM01 transaction .You will see a list of RP_XXXX where XXXX is infotype.
2. Select the change button on application tool bar. The dialog module in the above screen then becomes
editable.
3. Select the Infotype 9021 and select the details button. Make sure you are in change mode.
4. Provide the Subtype field of the Infotype, Subtype table as T591A and Subty.text table as T591S.
5. Save and go back to the initial PM01 screen.
6. The subtypes for an Infotype can be entered via the maintenance view V_T591A.
Now try maintaining time constraint T with view V_T582A through SM31.
cheers

Who's who Infoset : Adding a custom infotype

Dear Experts,
I am in need of your valuable input on Who's who.
Can we include custom infotype (9000) fields to the infoset (by coping into a custom infoset)?
What is configuration needs to be done on portal side to enable the additional fields.
I know to add / remove the fields which are already provided ( from infotype 0,1,2,105 and 32)
Awaiting your response.
Cheers
Jay

Hi,
Yes you can surely include your custom Infotypes in the Infoset for Who's Who.
There is no need for doing any Java customization unless you want to have a hyperlink and other kind of things for the additional fields.
If you want to show some content from the custom infotype and have a hyperlink to take you to some other location or application in that case you need to do the Java changes.
In all other cases change in the config will suffice.
In the ECC system go to t.code SPRO
Navigate to Personnel Management - Employee Self-Service - Service-Specific Settings - Address book - Who's Who - Who's Who (ESS) : Selection and Output - select the country and replace the standard Infoset with your custom infoset.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod
