Data from various types in HRFORMS

Question

Hi all,
I am using HRFORMS for printing the payslip ( and not pe51) . But our payslip have some data from time tables too. If I keep our form catagory as payslim renumeration, the metastars of time are inactive in that and not displayed. If I choose form type as time, it do not shows payroll metastars. But our payslip requires both type of data.
Can anyone please suggest what to do here?
Regards,
Ronnie

Hello Martin,
in the example https://gist.github.com/ricma/cf81829181cfd4e86354 the JSONModel is used. JSONModel is a client-side model. Each of the two tables (person table, phone table) needs its own data and model. In order to synchronize models after editing a table cell, two conversion functions are needed. One function converts person data into phone data, the other converts phone data into person data (see example for implementation):
function makePhoneList(oPersonList) {
function makePersonList(oPhoneList) {
Furthermore, two callback functions are needed. These callback functions shall be called whenever a table cell is modified:
function personModelChanged(oControlEvent) {
  oPhoneData = makePhoneList(oPersonData);
  oPhoneModel.setData(oPhoneData);
oPersonTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
  label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Name"}),
  template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField({
    value: "{personModel>name}",
    change: personModelChanged})}));
function phoneModelChanged(oControlEvent) {
  oPersonData = makePersonList(oPhoneData);
  oPersonModel.setData(oPersonData);
oPhoneTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
  label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Phone Number"}),
  template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField({
    value: "{phoneModel>number}",
    change: phoneModelChanged})}));
The solution works but has some disadvantages:
data and models have to be synchronized manually
for n models, 2n-2 conversion functions are needed
every modification causes creation of at least n-1 data structures and models
