Infotype header definition

hi all
what is infotype header definition???
what is the use of table T588J
regards

Hello,
in each infotype you can select which fields are to be diplayed, PERNR-PERSG etc.
In customizing under Customizing user interfaces-change screen header you first select Header modifier where you create or select one of the exististing if it is ok with you and you assign it to master data or applicant data.
In infotype header definition(which is the table you asked for) you define in your header modifier the fields, the infotype to which are to be displayed, the column and the field type.
You will have to do several changes until the result is satisfying!
At the end you assign to the infotype the header modifier at Header structure per infotype
ps. don't forget to generate the table T588J when you are finished.

T588J - Infotype Header Definition

Greetings
The table T588J has all relevant infotypes and fields are placed in the first three lines only.
Questions :
1)From where the Line 4 information is picked up . (Start Date - End Date and change info)
2) Can we add more fields in Line 4 and move start date - end date to Line 5 - How ?
Thanks
AP

Hi Avinash,
Lines 1-3 are permitted for changes.
Line 4 is default.
I am not sure but I dont think that you can add a line 5 or change the contents of line 4.

What is an Infotype header?

please tell me that also. iam preparing for job iam a fresher i don't have any experience in sap-hr.so ,please help me in that
<Moderator Comments: Pl do not use all caps>

Hello,
The headers displayed on each infotype and on the initial PA20/PA30 screen is configurable. The relevant IMG path is:
Personnel Mgmt > Personnel Admin > Customizing User Interfaces > Define Screen Header
The infotype header is just the 3 lines in the header part (with personnel number, name, EE group. EE subgroup, etc)
Here are the 3 main tables : V_T588J Header Modifier Definition
V_T588I Header Modifier to Screen Header
V_582A_B Screen Header to Infotype
that you will find in the IMG path above.
Hope it helps,
Christine

Referencing a substitution variable in data load rule header definition

Hi All,
Im trying to add a substitution variable to the header definition of a DLR.
the sub var is &CurrMonth.
When I execute the data load I get an "unknown member error" with a list of all members in the header definition, including Oct which is my current month.
It looks like the DLR is resolving the sub var but for some reason it is refusing to load data.
We are on 9.2.0.1.
Are sub vars referenced differently for DLR?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Hi Seb!
Hope you're well. You're doing everything right with the subvars so the issue must be elsewhere. Is the list comma separated? Sorry I can' help more :(

Authorization Check Infotype Header

Hi all,
i posted the following threat in HCM Forum, but i think it is also a question for ABAP Forum
Authorization Check Infotype Header
Thanks & regards

1. authorisations in hr cannot be controlled at infotype-header level and/or infotype field level.
2. If only a few fields of a specific infotype are to be allowed for a user the most efective way of doing it is by way of creating a view for the infotype with only the allowed fields in it.
3. another way of doing it is by way of a custom authorisation object (potentially) but then again your requirement is not going into explicit details,. so this option is a possibility you may want to do some due diligence on.
cheers

Infotype Header

Hi,
I have created a custom PA infotype and as per the requirement the database table for this infotype would have dates defaulted to 01.01.1800 and 31.12.9999 since the actual data would be stored in OM tables.
Now, the infotype header is retrieving data as of the BEGDA and hence in the header of the infotype the latest values are not getting displayed. I want the header to display the values valid as of system date.
Please let me know where to configure that.
Thanks,
Harini

Photo upload in infotype 2, or infotype header

Can anyone tell me in detail how to upload photo of employee in infotype header and what all needs to be done in terms of basis also , archieve link or something. I know oAAD but how does that linkage happen.

Solution in https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Add%20Employee%20Photo%20on%20Infotype%200002?showChildren=false is very good.
Mass upload program ZHR_BDC_UPLOADPIC requires input every file path for photos in dialog window.
I have improved this process:

Header Definition in Load Rule

Hi,
Is there any limitation of defining members in "Data load Settings" under the "Header Definition" while creating a load rule?
let me explain the issue. There are say 13 dimensions in the outline and we have only 7 dimensions in the source file can we include the rest (members related to the other 6 dimensions) in the "Header definition"?
If YES, Is there any limitation?
Thanks,
RNG

I've not seen any limitation and believe I have done that many dimensions in a header. I have run into a bug (I think) in 9 and 11 that is you sue a substitution varible in the header, it can't be the last item in the header. For some reason, It does not always get recogonized

Infotype header the format

hello,
As you know in the infotype header the format name that the screen shows is diferent
for USA:            Last Name , Name
for MEX version :   Name , Last Name
I need both to have the same format (Name , Last Name)
Is that posible?
Best Regards.

Hello,
Sure it's possible.
1º) Open an infotype in pa20/pa30
2º) Go system -> Status
3º) Save the value of Program(Subscreen). E.g.: /1PAPAXX/HDR_00288A
4º) Open Se38
5º) Open the copied header. E.g.: /1PAPAXX/HDR_00288A
6º) Check the comments in blue. The header modifier will be the 2 number on second column. E.g.:
T588J (Table to change the header fields)
002 88 1 01 TXD   0000   PERNR   08   PN1
88 = Header modifier. Save this number.
7º) Open SM31
8º) Table T588J
9º) Open the corresponding header modifier. E.g.: 88
Now you can change the header
If you nede to change the format displayed go thru table T552N and set the value at field "Conversion".
Example:
Conversion = 07 , make this:
                 Before   >    After
               - GJM      > G.J.M.
               - ThChr    > Th.Chr.
Hope that helps.

Infotype Header Data - Cost center- System to read the latest data

Dear Group Members,
I am modifying Infotype Header data and calling Cost center (Field - KOSTL) in header data via modifying header data in table T588J. The cost center values appears on the header data (As stored in Infotype 0001) however it appears with the oldest data. i.e. if the employee cost center had been changed after his joining system does not picked up the Latest data/ Latest cost center value.
Any one on how to resolve this issue with SAP Standard functionality.
Regards

Hi,
The answer to your question lies in table V_582A_B. You can either access it through SM30 or by following IMG path:
SPRO>Personnel Management>Personnel Administration>Customizing User Interfaces>Change Screen Header>Header structure per infotype
There is a u201Cchoose datau201D indicator for each infotype. If that is checked, the header displays data as per the start date of infotype displayed; otherwise, it shows data valid as of system date. Please bring up SAP help on the field by F1 for more information.
Also check table T588H (data selection field) as it has some dependencies for the above mentioned settings. The table can be brought up from:
SPRO>Personnel Management>Personnel Administration>Customizing User Interfaces>Change Screen Header> Infotype header data selection control
Hope this helps.

Add a logo to the header definition of an Interactive Report

Hi Folks.
Using Apex 3.1 and BI Publisher.
I am enabling an Interactive Report region to output to PDF & Excel.
Has anyone managed to add a logo to the Header/footer definition in the Print Attributes section?
Is it possible? The region definition does not understand simple HTML syntax.
If anyone would let me know if a) They've done it or b) It ain't possible that would be great.
Many thanks.
Dogfighter.

Just reading through this thread. So perhaps a few comments might be helpful:
- Interactive report regions do currently not support Report Layouts, you're limited to the built-in generic layout and won't be able to include images
- You can add a button to your interactive report region page which could initiate the download of a report query, when doing this, you would get the result set of your report query not the interactive report region, so even if the queries are the same, you might have different filters applied to your interactive report
- You can in fact include static images in your RTF report layouts using the BI Publisher Desktop Word Plug-In and MS Word, so you can have logos etc in your PDF documents. But report layouts currently only work with report queries and classic report regions
- You can also include dynamic images in your PDF, e.g. based on images stored in a BLOB column, there's currently a character escaping issue causing some trouble with this, which will be fixed in 3.1.1, more on that once 3.1.1 is out (soon)
- the print server overwrite is designed to point to a different print server than the one configured for your APEX instance, not to point to a specific report. So if your instance has BI Publisher configured, but for a specific report you want to do some special rendering using your own code, you can write e.g. a JSP, Servlet, etc that's doing the rendering, and then point yout report to that URL
Hope this helps, we do plan to add support for report layout to interactive report regions in the next full release of Application Express

Marc

Infotype header - best practice

Hi group
Today our ifnotype headers are created in a way that makes us have to break a lot of infotypes just to refresh the header.
There are 2 reasons in my opinion:
- We have chosen to read header on infotype begda
- We have eg. position information in the header
We want to change this so we don't have to break eg. address just to read correct data.
I don't feel reading header at sy-datum is a right choice. This can give an incorrect picture if you read an infotype and the header is inconsistent with the actual situation in the date-range for the infotype.
So I am leaning towards letting the header contain much less information.
Does anyone have some "best practice" thoughts?
Any documentation I can read up on regarding best practice on this matter?
Thanks in advance
Kirsten

Hi,
Headers, in general, are part of the whole philosophical debate. Iu2019ve seen both ways: current dated and infotype date driven. Iu2019m an advocate of them being infotype date driven for the very same reason that you mentioned: display what is on the record.
The other school of thought is to always display current information. It also gets some leverage depending on what is being displayed. If you have OM related data like position, job, org units etc, and clients may want to always display the current information. Maybe they are trained that way to only pay attention to headers to give them ad-hoc type information. They can get historical data through other reports.
I donu2019t think there is any u201Cbest practiceu201D with headers; itu2019s a purely philosophical choice.
Hope this helps.
