Logical Database (PNPCE) , selection screen hide.

Hi Gurus,
i have couple of questions related to logical database pnpce.
1.Since i know logical database has there own selection screen , my requirement is i want to add my custom fields to the selection screen other than what is provided is it possible or not.
2. i want to hide the selection screen of the logical database, but i do want to create my own in which i will be declaring some select options of the standard logical database screen has, like pernr, organisation unit, etc, how do i communicate the entered data with the logical database if i dont use the logical database standard selection screen, hope i could able to explain my problem, please see into my problem and let me know thanks in advance,
hussaini

Hussain,
LDB have standard selection screens, if at all you want to customize those standard selection screen you would have to define a report category for your program. You`ll have to configure in the spro settings for your corresponding report category.
If you would like to declare your own selection criteria, you can very well do it and these criteria are visible below the standard selection criteria. You can process these elements in your program and not in the LDB standard program. Use the normal selection screen events in your program for processing your selection criteria.
Hope this info is helpful, reward points if convinced.

FBL5N - Logical databases - Dyanamic selection screen fields

I am trying to insert "Profit center" from BSEG table of Logical database DDF into the dynamic selection screen of FBL5N.
Procedure I followed:
Program -> Attributes -> Logical database -> Extras -> Selection views.
Interestingly when I add "Profit center" from BSID table instead of BSEG, it appears on dynamic selection screen. But this is not working for BSEG. I have no clue why this is so? If someone can help me in this regard, that would be great.
P.S: I can not insert Profit center from BSID table as BSEG contains profit center values and BSID is not storing the same info.

Rob,
Below is the BSEG contents:
Company code Document Number Customer     Profit Center
1000         1800001111      0000100006
1000         1800001111                   0000000401
BSID contents:
Company code Customer     Document Number Profit Center
1000         0000100006   1800001111
As BSID stores customer info, I believe only line item that has customer info is stored here.
I guess, that is the reason.
I will try the option told by prev post. Will keep you guys posted.
Thanks,
Phani

How to use a logical database's selection screen elements

Hi all,
I have used the logical db, pnp, in my report, however when I want to select data about a personel , ie. her name surname plans-positions, how will I join the two tables pa0001 and logical db? and the table t528t - text for plans?
Thanks.

Hi Deniz,
First of all give Logical database PNP in program attributes(Goto->Attributes).
In program write the following code.
Infotypes : 0000,
0001.
start-of-selection.
get pernr.
rp-provide-from-last p0000 space pn-begda pn-endda.
if pnp-sw-found = '1'.
w_itab-pernr = p0001-pernr.
else.
reject.
endif.
rp-provide-from-last p0001 space pn-begda pn-endda.
if pnp-sw-found = '1'.
w_itab-vorna = p0001-plans.--->position
else.
reject.
endif.
rp-provide-from-last p0002 space pn-begda pn-endda.
if pnp-sw-found = '1'.
w_itab-vorna = p0002-vorna. -
>first name
w_itab-nachn = p0001-nachn.--->last name
else.
reject.
endif.
append w_itab to t_itab.
end-of-selection.
Dont forget to reward points if found useful.

How to pass a default value in selection screen of logical database pnpce

Dear All,
Can any one tell me how to pass a default value in selection screen of logical database pnpce .
Regards
Rakesh Singh

Hi Rakesh,
Go to SE36 (logical database Builder).First enter PNPCE in Logical Database and press documentation,here you will get the details of exactly what is PNPCE and how it works.After that select selections in subojects in se36 only and enter display ,there you have the include from where you acn get the idea.

Logical Database PNPCE and inherited Sub Area

Hi,
I have asked this in the HR forum but no response......
I have a report using Logical Database PNPCE to find some values from a couple of info types. When I select a unit (from the 'OrgStructure' button at the top of the screen), say 111, and all its sub-units with no selections in the selection screen, I get one person displayed. This is correct and this person is in a sub-unit 3 levels down (unit 333).
I then added a selection to only display people in units with Personnel SubArea 'OTEC'. Now I get no results output. When I look in PPOME, I can see that unit 333 has Personnel SubArea 'OTEC' but it is inherited from '111'.
In PP01, unit 111 has an Account Assignment entry (Info Type 1008) but 333 does not.
Does anyone know how to report on this?
Is there a flag somewhere that tells the LDB to check for inherited units?
If not, any ideas if there is a function out there to find the superior unit for these sub-units?
Thanks.

Thanks,
I am aware of that FM but how do I find the parent unit in a clever fashion?
The structure could have multiple levels e.g.
Unit 1 - Unit 2a - Unit3a......
- Unit 2b
- Unit 2c
Unit 1 is the parent and all the below units inherit from it.
The LDB is looping through an internal table with a list of the units. It finds Unit 1 but not the rest.
So, when the LDB is looking for Unit 3a, how does it know that Unit 1 is the parent?
If I use that FM, I think I would have to look for all units above it and see if there is an Info Type 1008 exists. Seems like a lot of processing for something that should be simple?

PNPCE selection screen

Hi, I have problem in using logical database pnpce.
When using the logical database pnpce, it already has it's own default selection screen.
The default for the upper block of the selection screen(payroll period) is:
reporting period: today
What do i have to do if i want to set the default selection screen into
period: current payroll period
Many thanks.

Hi ,
You can get selection-options by pressing F1 then technical attributes .
Then in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event you write the following code ---
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT / INITIALIZATION.
select_option_name-sign = 'I'.
select_option_name-sign = 'EQ'.
select_option_name-sign = sy-datum.
append select_option_name .

Regarding Logical database and select statement..

Hi
Experts.
i would like to know the diff b/w logical data base & select statement while using report.
wt is the use of logical databases in R/3. is there   any   advantage used in the reports.
Thanks & Regards..
Spandana.

Dear Spandana,
Go through the below description of LDB. I hope you wil get a fair amount of idea.
SAP comes loaded with all the extras. Among the extras that are most helpful to IT managers are all the access routines needed to pull any business object that managers can think of out of SAP databases. However, SAP has not thought of everything where your particular applications are concerned. SAP organizes its standard database tables to service business units based on conventional business applications. Itu2019s likely your business requires something new, perhaps even something exotic. In that case, you will need to create a new database, using information from different places. Basically, you need a logical database. You need to create a virtual business data object repository consisting of a new kind of record or table that suits your purposes. In addition, the repository should be composed of information that is actually stored in a number of different locations, none of them necessarily logically associated with one another. Letu2019s take a closer look at creating logical databases.
A case for a logical database
Suppose my company manufactures widgets of the most obscure variety, and they are components of other widgets. I sell my widgets as raw material for the more sophisticated widgets built by others, but in some cases I actually partner with other manufacturers in creating yet another class of widget. Now, in my world, I consequently have customers who are also partners. I sell to them and I partner with them in manufacturing and distribution. Also, I need an application that uses both of these dual-use relationships.
Essentially, I have a customer database and a partner database. Neither contains records that are structured to contain the identifying particulars of the other. Thus, I need a hybrid database that gives me tables detailing these hybrid relationships. What can I do? I can go the long way around and write a new database, pulling information from both and creating new objects with a customized program that I write by hand. However, this process is cumbersome and contains maintenance issues. On the other hand, I can use SAPu2019s logical database facility, create my logical database in a couple of minutes, and have no maintenance issues at all.
Logical database structures
There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
u2022     Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
u2022     Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
u2022     Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
Creating your own logical database
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
1.     Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
2.     Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
3.     Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
4.     Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.
Watch out!
The use of very large tables will degrade the performance of a logical database, so be aware of that trade-off. Remember that some tables in SAP are very complex, so they will be problematic in any user-defined logical database.
Declaring a logical database
Hereu2019s another surprising feature of logical databases: You do not assign them in your ABAP/4 Code. Instead, the system requires that you specify logical databases as attributes. So when you are creating a report, have your logical database identifier (the name you gave it) on hand when you are defining its attributes on the Program Attributes screen. The Attributes section of the screen (the lower half) will include a Logical database field, where you can declare your logical database.
Logical databases for increasing efficiency
Why else would you want to create a logical database? Consider that the logical databases already available to you begin with a root node and proceed downward from there. If the data object you wish to construct consists of items that are all below the root node, you can use an existing logical database program to extract the data, then trim away what you donu2019t want using SELECT statementsu2014or you can increase the speed of the logical database program considerably by redefining the logical database for your object and starting with a table down in the chain. Either way, youu2019ll eliminate a great deal of overhead.

Logical database PNPCE

Hi
I have created a custom OM infotype 9910 which will data with Object ID either 'O' (Org Unit) or S (Position) .
I am using Logical database PNPCE in my report. I have declared the infotype at the declaration part with infotypes 9910 statement
When the get peras event is triggered in program the table p9910 is not filled with values even though there is record in HRP9910 with Object ID 'S' for the employee position who i am interested in.
I think there is some link missing. For the OM infotype records to be filled during get peras event do i need to give any other selection value like evaluation path or i have to use a different event. Please advice
Suitable answers will be rewarded
Thanks,
Kasi

I don't think PNPCE does anything with HRP infotypes. PNPCE is all about PA data since PERNR is the main key. Logical DB PCH is the one that deals with HRP Infotypes.

How to create a new selection screen IN LOGICAL DATABASE PNPCE

how to create a new selection screen LDBS PNPCE

Hello Ankit,
Do you want to create a new selection screen in LDB PNPCE, or do you want to create a new selection screen in one of your reports using LDB PNPCE?
For later (which is more common), you can use HR Report Category.
Hope this helps.

Logical Database - PNPCE - Hide 'Org Structure' 'Search Help' etc buttons

Hi,
We have created a report by making a z copy of RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES. In the Z version we need to hide the buttons on the titlebar of the selection screen.
Buttons are
- Org Structure
- Search Help
- Dynamic Selection
- Selection Fields.
Can you please suggest if I can do something from the code ?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, there is no title bar method that we can modify to remove the buttons. I have created a Z report Category by copying the existing one and made the modifications.
In that we can hide/display UI elements which are displayed by Logical Database.

Enhancement to logical database PNPCE

Dear all,
my client wants to include a few z_tables to the standard selection screen and output in their ad hoc reporting infoset in HR.
Is there a way to include z_fields to the standard selection screen (PNPCE) as well as output of the ad hoc reporting infoset?
Thanks for your response.

Hi Tony,
You wont be adding the Z table directly.Instead you will be
enhancing the structure PNNNN_AF with the fields from ur Z table.You need to create the Customozing Include CI_PNNNN_AF for this.
You have three steps to go follow :
1. Definition of additional fields in DDIC - Enhance structure PNNNN_AF.
2. Create coding for additional field - In this step, you Create a Function Module and
write logic to populate the values from ur Z table.
3. Determine Data Retrieval Routines and Standard Add'l Fields.- You need to maintain
the newly created FM name in the database view T770AF.
Finally, You can integrate the additional fields into existing InfoSets using the path
InfoSet --> other Functions --> Update HR Additional Fields.
You will get a better idea once you go thru the SPRO Node documentation. Please let me know if you need any further Info.

Hi sandeep,

2. PNPCE has extra fields for selection
   on selection-screen.
3. It has got extra events as compared to PNP
