Multiple Payslips in PDF Document

Question

Hi All,
We have a requirement of getting multiple Payslips in a single PDF document.
Right now, we use the Java Webdynpro application to display payslips in ESS using a custom HR Form / Smartform.
This allows us to display a single payslip in PDF format.
Our requirement is to input a date range, and if that date range has 12 salary statements(assuming each statement is one page), we need a PDF document created with 12 pages in it.
Upon analysis, I found the class CL_HRXSS_REM used to generate the standard payslips.
Any guidance, in terms of how I can use this to meet our requirement would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saleem

Answer 1

you can control from here but having multiple payslips ? you mean different smartforms for each scenario??
You can check these features
1. HRFOR  - This feature decides whether to use HRFORMS or CEDT forms
(configured in PE51) for the payslip. If HRFORMS, the name of HRFORM has
to be mentioned here. If PE51 needs to be used then $CEDT$ should be
specified.
2. EDTIN - This should hold the value of the variant to be executed in
the CEDT program (payslip program). The variant should be proper with
the with the correct CEDT (payslip) form name and other parameters.
3. EDPDF - The name of the smartform (standard smartform
HR_ESS_PAYSLIP_TO_PDF or customer specific form) used to show the output
in the ESS.
Or you can check in method L_PRODUCE_FORM
Default implementation of BADI XSS_REM_INTERFACE is stored in
class CL_DEF_IM_XSS_REM_INTERFACE. If you go to SE24, enter this
class and then select method PROVIDE_FILTERED_RGDIR, you will be able to
see the default implementation regarding the 3 days I mentioned before:
method IF_EX_XSS_REM_INTERFACE~PROVIDE_FILTERED_RGDIR .
DATA: newest_date LIKE sy-datum.
ex_filtered_rgdir] = im_in_rgdir[.
CLEAR ex_message.
remove all in-periods where not:
a) paydt is at the past
b) paydt is in the near future (3 days)
newest_date = sy-datum + 3.
DELETE ex_filtered_rgdir WHERE paydt GE newest_date.
Please, when implementing this BADI do not forget to mantain the other
methods as explained in note 901850.
