PNP concept

i want to know the concept of PNP logical database (SAP HR module) supported by an example program.
Also, could someone explain what get pernr. event does and the significance of specifying tables : pernr in PNP logical database program.
Also, how is provide end-provide different from select end select.
answers will be rewarded.

Hi Soumali,
welcome to SDN forum.
PNP logical data base conrtain various definitions related to HR employee selection data.
For details on it goto SE36 And give PNP.
Get Pernr actuall collects all the data based on the selection screen into the mentioned infotypes in the program.
For more reference you may check out this program - RPLADDJ0, RPLICO10, etc.

HR-ABAP-Infotypes concept

Hi Masters,
Can you please let me know the perfect reason for infotypes concept in HR-ABAP.
1 Why we are using infotypes and exactly what is purpose?
2.Why we are using LDB's why cannot we extract data directly from database tables?
3.Can you please give me clear explanations about these infotypes.

Hi
Infotype(s) are used in the Personnel Management (PA) module primarily. This is where personnel master data is stored. Data is grouped according to subject matter. The Human Resources component aims to enable the user to process employee data in an effective structure in accordance with business requirements. The data structure of infotypes mirrors a logical set of data records. Infotypes can be identified by their four-digit keys, for example, the Addresses infotype (0006). To facilitate reporting on past employee data, infotypes can be saved for specific periods.
Some people use the term HR ABAP to describe the method of managing the infotype data. Typically HR logical databases are used which offers more secure methods of accessing the infotype data. Once the infotypes are declared, you can use standard macros to access the data. Table TRMAC holds the macro name and the code behind it. This makes developing HR programs much quicker and easy to turn around.
HR uses INFOTYPES instead of tables.
There are different sub modules exist in HR.
For Personal Admn the Infotypes start with PA0000 to PA1999
Time Related Infotypes start with PA2000 to PA2999.
Orgn related Infotypes start with HRP1000 to HRP1999.
All custom developed infotypes stsrat with PA9000 onwards.
In payroll processing we use Clusters like PCL1,2,3 and 4.
Instead of Select query we use PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE..
You have to assign a Logical Database in the attributes PNP.
Go through the SAp doc for HR programming and start doing.

see this link you would get information about types of infotypes
Logical databases are special ABAP programs that retrieve data and make it available toapplication programs. The most common use of logical databases is still to read data fromdatabase tables by linkin them to executable ABAP programs.
Logical databases contain Open SQL statements that read data from the database.You do not therefore need to use SQL in your own programs. The logical database reads theprogram, stores them in the program if necessary, and then passes them line by line to theapplication program or the function module LDB_PROCESS using an interface work area .

1. A logical database is in fact
a program only.
2. This LDB provides two main things :
a) a pre-defined selection screen
which handles all user inputs and validations
b) pre defined set of data
based upon the user selection.
3. So we dont have to worry about from
which tables to fetch data.
4. Moreover, this LDB Program,
handles all user-authorisations
and is efficient in all respects.
5. tcode is SLDB.

Difference between PNP and PCH logical database

WHats the difference between PNP nd PCH? When to use which??
Tx

Hi,
The Difference is only with in an SAP R/3 system in which Concurrent Employment is active, reports are executed by the PNPCE logical database. The general logic of the PNPCE logical database corresponds to the PNP logical database. The PNPCE logical database can also process the concept of Concurrent Employment.
HR Logical Databases
In Human Resources (HR), the following logical databases can be used as a data source for HR InfoSets:
PNP (PNPCE)
PAP
PCH
By selecting a logical database, you determine the HR data that can be reported on using an InfoSet.
Logical Database PCH
This logical database generally enables you to report on all HR infotypes. However, you are advised not to use this logical database unless you want to report on Personnel Planning data.
Logical Database PNP (or PNPCE)
Use logical database PNP to report on HR master data. It is possible to use logical database PCH to access this data, but PNP meets such reporting requirements more quickly because it is best suited to the task of selecting persons.
Logical database PNP enables you to access HR master data and infotypes from Personnel Planning. For example, you have the following options:
Reporting on the costs, number of attendees booked, and instructor for a business event on which an employee is booked
Reporting on working time and planned compensation for a position that an employee occupies
Reporting on the validity and proficiency of a qualification that an employee fulfils
From a technical perspective, this means you can use PNP to report on all of the infotypes that exist for objects (infotype 1000) that have a direct relationship (infotype 1001) with the Person object.
The ability to access infotypes from Personnel Planning using logical database PNP is a special feature that you can only use in the context of SAP Query and Ad Hoc Query. You cannot use this functionality for ABAP reports you programmed yourself.
You can also use logical database PNP to report on data from Personnel Time Management (infotypes 2000 to 2999) and Payroll (special payroll infotypes for the USA and customer infotypes; for more information, access Customizing for the Human Resources Information System and see Payroll Results).
Logical Database PAP
Logical database PAP enables you to access data from Recruitment.

Management Global Employee Vs C.E + PNP or PNPCE

All,
We are moving towards implementing u201CManagement Global Employeeu201D. I am new to u201CManagement Global Employeeu201D and I found some good documentation at www.saphelpbykevin.com . Kevin you did great job there like you did with us in Boise, Idaho. Any way first I wanted to understand the key differences between C.E and MGE?
After that what effort we need to do in order to change our ABAP program. Can we use PNP with MGE ?
Iu2019ve worked on Concurrent Employment in 2006 and I remember we had a hard time changing all our HR ABAP program and LDB to PNPCE . Are we talking about the same effort here? If any body of you has any suggestion , key point please share with me .
Thanks,
Saquib Khan

Lol!
I didn't see post until now...Not sure if you received the response yet...
MGE is a subset or submodule of CE.
CE concept is more align with and more import if you use SAP Payroll and Time. CE is concurrent employment where a person holds more than one position at a time in the same country.
MGE is management global employee. Where a person move from one position to another during a duration to do an assignment. Upon completing the assignment, the person could localize there or return home.
PNP and PNPCE. PNP is being discontinued and is replaced by PNPCE. The main difference between the two is PNPCE support the PERSON ID concept. Which is the unique identifier for an employee. It would be best to use PNPCE with MGE as you need that PERSON ID in the HR Report Category.

WARNED:search before you post
Edited by: Suresh Datti on Aug 31, 2009 12:17 PM

Hi ,
Date Concepts /condions during reading data in HR :
1. Allways used the ENDDA = '99991231' to fetch active record.
2. For active records in entered period :
BEGDA lt PNP-ENDDA
ENDDA GT PNP-BEGDA.
3. Time constrants also effects teh data retrival form differnt infotype.......

PNP and HRP1000

Hi All,
According to the link below, logical database PNP can be used to read some HRP infotypes.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/c6/8a15381b80436ce10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
How does this work? Is this done within the GET PERNR event? Or this there another event that I am missing? Thanks.
John

Example of how to acess infotype data using LDB concept
1. Create data structures for infotypes.
    INFOTYPES: 0001, "ORG ASSIGNMENT
                        0002, "PERSONAL DATA
                        0008. "BASIC PAY
2. Fill data structures with the infotype records.
    Start-of-selection.
         GET PERNR.
    End-0f-selection.
    Read Master Data
·     Infotype structures (after GET PERNR) are internal tables loaded with data.
·     The infotype records (selected within the period) are processed sequentially by the PROVIDE - ENDPROVIDE loop.
          GET PERNR.
             PROVIDE * FROM Pnnnn BETWEEN PN/BEGDA AND PN/ENDDA
                    If Pnnnn-XXXX = ' '. write:/ Pnnnn-XXXX. endif.
             ENDPROVIDE.

Free goods concept in STO

thats why u cant see any kind of basic cost condition in that
as the material is transfer from one plant to another the inventory changes and so the the price in material master is get updated for the another plznt

Concept of free –m command in Linux

I wanted to know the concept of free –m command as there are different rows of Mem, -/+ buffers/cache & Swap in the output. As an example, it is showing 195 as free Mem in my server but 13850 in the free section of the -/+ buffers/cache. The output needs in depth knowledge of the different parameters of the command.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

This is my understanding. used and free column in line 2 can be used to find out total used and free memory for applications
[oracle@test ~]$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 264122724 253692112 10430612 0 2074864 178696468
-/+ buffers/cache: 72920780 191201944
Swap: 8388600 0 8388600
select 264122724/1024/1024 "Total RAM" FROM DUAL; (264122724 ---from line 1 Mem)
Total RAM
251.887058
select (253692112-(2074864+178696468)) "used for applications" from dual; (used from line 1 - (buffers + cached) from line 1)
used for applications
--------------------- (matches with used from line 2)

Logical Database PNP. HR and Unicode

Hi,
currently we are checking all programs to make them unicode compliant. Using the logical database PNP a lot of macros is loaded automatically. One of them is
rp_provide_from_last (or rp_provide_from_frst) to get the last record in a specifed time-interval. The existance is stated in varaible named pnp-sw-found, it is 0 if no record was found and 1 if there is one in existance.
Checking the program (normal syntach check and extended syntax check) leads to the warning that varaibale names with a hyphen are no longer allowed in unicode programs if its not a structure (and pnp-sw-found is not). The program is doing well, and transaction UCCHECK does not mention this error/warning at all. Has someone experience with that issue and perhaps a solution?
cu
Rainer

Thanks for the answers so far. Using PNPCE does not resolve my problem, cause we have a lot of own written reports and i just want to avoid to change them all.
And using PNPCE idoes not solve the problem, that i have to use pnp-sw-found, this one is still in existance and gives still the warning that thois is not unicode compliant.
Switching off the unicode flag is no good idea if we wanna go for unicode.
Anyone else with experience in unicode in the HR Area?

Selection Screen of PNP Logical database

Experts,
I am stuck up in filtering of data.
I am using PNP logical database in Adhoc Query, if I select Current Month as data selection than also it is giving all list of data..
Can anyone give Input to me.
it is urgent.
Point will revert for useful answer.
Hetal.

how about if u do this step
1. Goto- Attribute.
2. Click "Change"
3. Click 'HR Report Category'
4. Click 'Create Report Category'
5. Click 'new entries' for careating Report Category
5. Select newly create report category
6. Click the folder 'Definition of Organizational Selection'.
7. Click 'New entries'.
8. Here you assign the required fields to be displayed, for eg pywerks - personal area.
9. finally assign this newly created 'report category' in the screen you will get upon clicking 'HR report Category' button in the Program attribute screen.
Hope this may help you. I am not much into hr abap. but sharing the info which i am aware.

HR ABAP - PNP selection screen

Hi Friends,
I am executing the standard report with PNP logical database .
But in the selection screen when I click on further selection and select the parameter company code.
Now I entered the company code "0060", but I am getting the out put for both company code 0060 and 0020,
here I need the out put only for the person which are belongs to company code 0060, but I think the selection screen company code was not controlling the out put.
Also I checked the Infotype internal table p0001, here I am able to see both the company codes, and for that person the process is continuing and I am getting the out put for the company code 0020, bcz the current/valid record for this person is 0020.
Request to let me know any issue there?
Magesh.S

Hi,
You need to set "person selection period" dates, in order to list values with selected parameters.

ABAP Report Program Logical Database PNP

I have a ABAP program using the logical database PNP. The report is config to run on MSS using EP. I have added code to capture the Org Unit when it is pass to the program from MSS. My issue is how do i capture the org unit value that is passed to the program. I have added code to capture field pnporgeh in the START OF SELECTION event. This works great if you are running the program from R3, but none of my edit checking against field pnporgeh works.

Hi John,
I am also having same trouble where in i have added a new custom(Z) report in the MSS ->My Staff -> Reporting under report category -> Time Management (MSS). I am not able to find how the value of org unit which is selected on portal screen is passed to report in R/3 which is using PNP logical db.
I tested in debugging but selection screen parameter PNPORGEH contains nothing.
Many Thanks in advance for the help.

HR PNP Logical Database Using Cost Center selection: error!?

Hi all,
I'm using PNP logical data base and using the selection-fields available through HR Class Reports (a copy of PAY_DEF) but what happens is if in selection-screen I fill the personnel number say 1000, i get the payroll data I'm trying to get, but if i use the search field cost center of that exact person i get nothing. Does anyone has a clue on what i might be doing wrong? Because all the other search fields work, company code, HR area, everyone, but cost center, and I'm positive that i use the right cost center.
Thanks in advance,
Paula

Even though nobody answered me, i finally found the solution for my problem. so and because someone might need it here it is:
Go to Spro->Personnel Management->Human Resources Information System->Reporting->Adjusting the Standard Selection Screen and then:
1st Create Report Categories and
2nd Assign Report Categories
Since not all rep. categories on the 1st assignment is explicit on how will sel screen appear i advice you to go to the 2nd point, and execute some of the programs that appear there, and that might look alike to what you are looking for, and if you are so lucky as to find one exact use the same report category in your program, if its very alike, well, copy the Report Category into one of your own and change it the way you need it to be.
Hope this be helpfull for someone.

HR Logical database PNP. OO to fill table dynamic table from PNP ?

Hi all
I want to get some stuff from the HR logical database into a dynamic table
Here's a real simple example that writes info out to a normal list.
(report is based on using Logical DB PNP)
tables: pernr.
INFOTYPES: 0001, "Organizational Assignment
 0002. "Personal Data
SELECT-OPTIONS: language FOR p0002-sprsl.
INITIALIZATION.
pnptimed = 'D'.
GET pernr.
PROVIDE * FROM p0002 BETWEEN pn-begda AND pn-endda.
 CHECK language.
 WRITE: / p0002-pernr,
 sy-vline,
 p0001-ename,
 sy-vline,
 p0002-sprsl,
 sy-vline,
 p0002-gbdat.
ENDPROVIDE.
endform.
Now what I want to do is replace the write stuff by appending the entries into a dynamic table which I will display as an ALV Grid.
so I add my structure in the data declarations
types: begin of s_elements,
 pernr type p0002-pernr,
 ename type p0001-ename,
 sprsl type p0002-sprsl,
 gbdat type p0002-gbdat.
drop_down_handle type int4.
types: end of s_elements.
include zz_jimbo_incl.
build the dynamic table
create data dref type s_elements.
assign dref->* to <fs>.
i_routine = 'POPULATE_DYNAMIC_ITAB'.*
i_names = 'NAME_COLUMNS'.
i_gridtitle = 'HR TEST'.
invoker = sy-repid.
i_zebra = 'X '.
i_edit = ' '.
call function 'ZZ_CALL_SCREEN'
 exporting
 invoker = invoker
 my_line = <fs>
 i_gridtitle = i_gridtitle
 i_edit = i_edit
 i_zebra = i_zebra
 i_names = i_names
 i_routine = i_routine
 importing
 z_object = z_object
 dy_table = dy_table.
Now to populate the dynamic Itab the routine below is entered.
form populate_dynamic_itab changing dy_table.
assign dy_table->* to <dyn_table>.
create data dy_line like line of <dyn_table>.
assign dy_line->* to <dyn_wa>.
However I can't use GET / PROVIDE / ENDPROVIDE in a Form.
Anyway round this ---seems HR has an aversion to OO.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi,
well, GET_PERNR is a so called event_statement. It has nothing to do with ABAP 00.
Normally it will be like this:
START-OF-SELECTION.
GET_PERNR.
PROVIDE ....
END-OF-SELECTION.
-> and here the CALL SCREEN NNNN for ALV-Display.
Provide-statements you can use in forms of course, and as many times you want during GET and END-OF-SELECTION.
But as I understood : you just want to save the write-statements?
I always develop a DDIC-Structure, declarate the data objects in the programm, read the data via Provide into the infotypes, and then make a move-corresponding to my structure. and display it.
Normally no problem.
kind regards
maik
