REg: HCM forms with Mutiple subtypes in a single form

Hi,
     i am working with Address change form scenario. i would like to know if there is a possibility to change the subtype at runtime, like choose either permanent address or mailing address or temporary address to be changed in the form.

SAP_PA backend service EXPECTS either a hardcoded/configured subtype OR a "*" for all available subtypes (which won't work in your case). What you "could" do is get creative with "rules" and check if values are entered, and then if so, do the operation for your subtype.
What you will need to do, which is what I do a LOT because of issues with SAP_PA is to actually make you update/changes in a backend function module (triggered in workflow). Now, things get a bit more complicated.....
Priod to EhP3, you could just call the ol' infotype operations function module in your own FM to do the change. However, from EhP3 and onward, you will need to do this via classes (same used by decoupled infotype framework.
Soooooo......time to get creative with your solution.

  • HCM forms and process with single workflow

    Is it possible or we need to create a separate workflow for each process?
    Thanks in advance,
    Helps will be appreciated.

  • Custom HCM form integration with ESS

    Hi,
        Is it possible to integrate a custom HCM form(Accident reporting) with ESS.
    There are 12 services available in the homepage framework for ESS HCM forms. Does this mean that we can only integrate HCM forms related to these services with ESS?
    Thanks,
    Anand

    Thanks Bala, I have created a new service for the custom form. Which iview should i use to display the form.
    I tried the approach of copying the start process iview from HR administrator business package and linking it to the service. The iview is not displaying the form.
    Is this a valid approach or do we have to use webdynpro+adobe forms for ESS since there is no start process iview in ESS?
    System info:
    EHP3

    ESS 1.0

  • Issue with SAP_PD Service in HCM Forms

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing this issue when trying to create/update a Position using HCM Forms.
    We have the HCM_ASR_CL_2 Business Function Activated
    We are on EHP4.
    I am trying to create/update a position using forms - SAP_PD Service and facing the below mentioned issue -
    When I am trying to add the Object Type S in the LEAD_OBJECT_ID, I get the error - Object type S not supported.
    As a workaround that I got from a help.sap - 3.In the navigation pane, go toValidity Period.Enter Start Object Type as S = Job, enter Application Type as PD. - Even this workaround doesnt work!
    Am  I missing some config here?
    Also, once we activate the Business Function - do we get the node for SAP_PD in IMG just as we have for SAP_PA and SAP_PT service?
    Please help!!!

  • Error: Organizational Assignment created via Orgnizational Management in HCM form

    Hi All,
    I am getting below error while moving an EE to certain position via HCM form.
    I have cheked and found that if an org unit is to be assigned to another cost center in Organizational management from a certain date, this action generates a new record in infotype 0001 for integrated persons from the date of assignment to the new cost center and if we perform any action which would be deleting the new record (created from OM) in IT0001 then this error would populate.
    Here is the the same case a new Cost Centre has been assigned with the orgunit and a new record is creaed in IT0001 from the OM but when I am performing the same action via PA40 then I not getting any error, the error is occuring from the form only.
    Can you please help me to resove this error and provide me the reason why it is not occring when I am performing the same action from PA40.
    Regards,
    Mayank

    Hi Mayank,
    I think you will be triggering Job Salary Form for the action you have mentioned. Please check in the Tcode HRASR_DT for the form name as I have show below from my development system. In Back-End services - SAP_PA - Infotypes and Operations and for Infotype 0001 check what is the operation that you have maintained.. It should be "change" to avoid the error message.
    For PA40 action you would have configured the same as "change" thats why you are not getting error message in PA40.
    Thanks,

  • Status inside the adobe form in HCM Forms and Process

    Hi,
    We have developed a custom HCM Process with 2 level approval. Is there a way to get the status of the previous step onto the form. I mean the 2nd approver should be able to see whether the form is approved or rejected by 1st approver.
    We are trying to add this in new comments so that it will reflect in previous comments when the form is sent to 2nd approver. But unable to find the correct place to add the logic.
    If anyone worked on this solution, please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Swamy

    Hi Swamy,
    You can get this from the table T5ASRSTEPS and field is PROC_STATUS.  This table T5ASRSTEPS is linked to T5ASRPROCESSES and you need to use the PROCESS REFERENCE NUMBER for this.
    You can bind this information to a FIELD in the ADOBE FORM and based on the FORM SCENARIO STAGE you can make this field visible / hidden.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

  • How to Edit a custom HCM form directly after Employee selection?

    Hi All,
    As per the requirement, the Manager should have a tab in Portal called "Forms and Processess"  and on click of that he should see a Page with few hyperlinks . Each hyperlink is the name of a HCM Form.
    So,  the Manager will click on one of them to start a particular form. ex. One time payment
    After clicking, he should have the Employee search result having Direct reports under STEP "Select Employees".. But the next STEP has to be "Edit" instead of "Select Process" and the Form "One time payment" should directly Open for him to work on.
    Please help me providing the relevant information and the approach. Let me know if you need any additional information.
