To pass the values in repetitive structures any function module

hi all,
      Is there any function module to pass the values in repetitive structures like infotype 0041(Date spcification). I heard there is a function module, so any of you can tell that function module.
thanks,
sekhar.

Hi Chandra,
If your question is to find a date for a given dar value in IT 0041 then this is the sol:
Yes there is a function Module for IT0041, HR_ECM_READ_IT0041_DATE_TYPE
eg:
INFOTYPES: p0041.
DATA: lv_msg TYPE REF TO if_hrpa_message_handler,
          lv_date TYPE D.
GET pernr.
CLEAR: lv_date.
    CALL FUNCTION 'HR_ECM_READ_IT0041_DATE_TYPE'
      EXPORTING
        datar           = 'U2'       " specify the value of the dar value, for which u have to find date
        p0041           = p0041
        message_handler = lv_msg
      IMPORTING
        date            = lv_date.
For the dar value U2, lv_date will have the corresponding date.
Hope this will clear your doubt.
Thanks,
Kishore

Repetitive Structures in PA custom Infotype

Hi all,
I have created a Custom PA Infotype using PM01 transaction and it is working fine,
How ever now I want to add repetitive structure for the same(something like date specifications),
I went through many materials but none of them have helped,
So can anyone let me know how to add a repetitive structure to the custom infotype ?
Thanks,
Madhukar

ESS WebDynpro Appilication with Repetitive structure

I am trying to develop an ESS Webdynpro application for Infotype P0585 (Section 80) P0591 (Nominee Details), both these infotypes have repetitive structure.
There is no screen structure or RFC's(For Read, Modify, Edit Operations) for these Infotypes.
We are using ECC 5.0 (Software Component: EA-HR(SAP R/3 Enterprise HR Extension) Support Package Level : 09 )
I understand that customising for repeat Structure can be done by making an entry in the tables T588AUTO_MAP, T588AUTO_TABLE (Mapping for Conversion of Repeat Structure/Tables), but both these tables do not permit entry.
Any guidelines in developing Webdynpro application for services that use infotypes that have repetitive structure and implementing conversion class for the above infotype.

Hi Sarath ,
I am also working on Infotypes P0585/6 .
There are some modifications to be done in the Output Table Conversion Method inside the CL_HRPA_UI_CONVERT class for IT0585/6. The screen structure's was not getting copied properly and the Object Key of the Line-Records were lost inside this method somewhere. These changes are been rectified now and will be working by the end of the week.
As for the Entry in the T588AUTO_TABLE , it has been done for P0585/6 .

Hi Senthil ,
Try ...this way...
DATA: BEGIN OF WORD,
        ONE   VALUE 'E',
        TWO   VALUE 'x',
        THREE VALUE 'a',
        FOUR VALUE 'm',
        FIVE VALUE 'p',
        SIX   VALUE 'l',
        SEVEN VALUE 'e',
        EIGHT VALUE '!',
      END   OF WORD,
      LETTER1, LETTER2.
DO VARYING LETTER1 FROM WORD-ONE NEXT WORD-THREE
   VARYING LETTER2 FROM WORD-TWO NEXT WORD-FOUR.
WRITE: LETTER1, LETTER2.
IF LETTER2 = '!'.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
The resulting output is the character string
"E x a m p l e !".

Use of structure in handling repetitve structure

Hi!,
I have a problem with read/modify the repetitve structure. I feel that to read/modify the repetitve structure I cant use just a new structure as the structure will hold only one record. To hold more than one record I will have to use a stru/table. how should I proceed. For example, if my infotyp is IT0812 for KR, and I will have handle the structure HCMT_BSP_PA_KR_R0812 and repetitive structure HCMT_BSP_PA_KR_R0812_LIN_A, ie to read/modify the field from both rep as well as non rep struc.
-- R C Naveen

I guess you can use multiple performs and one form routine :
see the simple example :
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES hire_emp_tab.
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES entrance_tab.
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES integration_tab.
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES duty_tab .
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES type_emp_tab.
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES job_part_tab .
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES free_days_tab.
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES status_tab.
PERFORM write_2_server TABLES bank_detailes_tab.
FORM write_2_server TABLES p_tab_data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa> TYPE ANY.
" MOVE 'D:_pa_test_mmsk_pa1.txt' TO adress.
OPEN DATASET adress IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT FOR OUTPUT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
no_file = ' '.
LOOP AT p_tab_data ASSIGNING <wa>.
TRANSFER <wa> TO adress.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET adress.
ELSE.
no_file = 'X'.
ENDIF.
endform.

What is repeated structure?

what is repeated structure?
Title edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jun 12, 2008 6:46 AM

Hi,
         In many master data infotypes the data is stored in the form of repetitive structures. For example infotype 0008, the structure wage type line is available for 20 times, that is an employee is eligible for having 20 different wage types based on his benefits. When evaluating repeat structures, you must ensure that all fields are entered. In the case of the Basic Pay infotype, 20 * 5 = 100 fields are queried.
To use this method of evaluation, define a field string whose structure corresponds to the fields in one line of the repetitive structure.
Example for understanding the repetitive Structure
     Say, for an employee you want to know that for what all wage types an employee is eligible for the latest period you mentioned on the selection screen.
Using LDB (PNP)
Program:
Report zhr_repstru.
Tables Pernr.
   Infotypes 0008.
u2022     You have to declare a structure same as repetitive structure in the 0008 infotype
   Data: begin of s_wagetypes,
                Wagetype type p0008-lga01,
                Amount      type p0008-bet01,
                Hours         type p0008-anz01,
                Unit            type p0008-ein01,
                Ind             type p0008-opk01,
            End of s_wagetypes,
u2022     Selecting data from the Data base       Get pernr
u2022     Getting the latest record based on the selection period.
      RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0008 SPACE PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
u2022     Now knowing for what all wage types the employee is eligible.
Do 20 times varying s_wagetypes from p0008-lga01 next p0008-lga02. If s_wagetypes-wagetype is initial.
o     Here the data is stored sequentially, i.e., if the employee is eligible for 5 wage types then all the 5 wage types are stored sequentially in lga01 to lga05 respectively. So, if say the lga05 is initial then it is understood that, employee is eligible for only 4 wage types and from lga05 to lga20 structures will be empty so, we need not process further
            Exit.
        Else.
           Write: / s_wagetypes-wagetype,
                        S_wagetypes-amount.
        Endif.
Enddo.

Dynamic select columns

I have a Z_Temp table which has 51 colums like NKEY, NTEM001, NTEM002.... NTEM050. This table will be joined on Z_JOIN table (columns NOTE, TXT) ON NTEM*= NOTE.
( NTEM001 = NOTE, NTEM002 = NOTE, NTEM003 = NOTE .....)
For all NTEM* columns that are not initial, I need to get TXT column from Z_JOIN table and send it to a Sapscript form.
What is the best approach in doing this ?
Thanks.

Horizontal scrolling in a single table record is possible with the DO...VARYING... construct, please read the F1 help on the same.

something like this
DATA:
ntem TYPE z_temp-ntem001
DO 50 TIMES VARYING ntem FROM ntem001 NEXT ntem002.
IF ntem IS NOT INITIAL.

Mass Upload Infotype - 8

Dear All
I am using 4.6c and want to upload different wage types in infotype - 8 approximately for 2000 employees.
Some employees has already 2 records of wage types in infotype-8 and some have 3 or 4. So i cant tell the recording program that exactly which row will be available for inserting the new record.
Can any one help in mass upload of data for infotype-8. Fast entry is not enable my system. If any one can explain how the fast entry for infotype 8 can be made it would also be help ful
Thanks.

hi,
Employee will have the only 1 valid record at particular time. The multiple records are appearing because the HR data is time dependent. And an employee will have multiple wage types but these will be stored as single record. All the wage types will go to the single record as the PA0008 table have the repetitive structure.
You can use the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to insert Modify or Deleting Etc of the HR record.
Hope you understand

Defined values in a cicle of Loop

Hello friends, I need your help to solve my problem, well. let´s start.
I have some user defined values, and I need to read each value, and before a task, (compare to other value [voltage] and so do other task [this task is not relevant] );
But I don´t know how I can do that, I´m so confused and lost to find the right solution.
Well.. I think I need/could do the routine in a repetition structure.
*we have the A-B-C-D-E pre-defined values
*I built an array, and then I got the index to know if I´m on the last iteration,(if the last iteration has passed away I stop the VI.)
*when I run the task and complete it, I need to read the next value of the array, until the E value, e.g.(A, B, ..., E)
* See the red box bellow.

Well the other parts ARE relevant because they show a loop. How do you want that loop to interact with the red box that you want to put in a loop? Right now you have a single value coming out of the half missing loop that runs to the code you have in the red box. What does the value represent? Do you want this new loop to run after the lower loop is complete?
Since you have a loop already, you know how to implement one. Take your best guess at what you want to try to do. Figure out if it works or what it is doing wrong compared to what you want. Then post the VI so we can make suggestions based on what you say it isn't doing right.

HR ABAP Expert - PCL2-CLUSTD

I can easily read PCL2 data by using "IMPORT blah blah.... FROM DATABASE PCL2(RU)".
Somehow, someway, SAP takes what is strored in PCL2-CLUSTD and converts it into meaningful variables via the "IMPORT ... FROM DATABASE" syntax.
[[I want to see the code SAP uses to do this]]
Actually, what I really want is to take normal data say, employee name and say payroll dollars for a given period and then convert it back into PCL2-CLUSTD without updating PCL2.
IDEAS?

http://www.melayu.plus.com/SAP%20HR%20Programming.pdf
HR deals with the INFOTYPES which are similar to Tables in General ABAP.
There are different ways of fetching data from these infotypes.
There are different areas in HR LIKE Personal Admn, Orgn Management, Benefits, Time amangement, Event Management, Payroll etc
Infotypes for these areas are different from one another area.
storing of records data in each type of area is different
LDBS like PNP are used in HR programing.
Instead of Select.. we use some ROUTINES and PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE.. etc
and in the case of Pay roll we use Clusters and we Import and Export them for data fetching.
On the whole Normal ABAP is different from HR abap.
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.

Few notes are below:
InfoSets in the HR Application
You can use SAP Query in HR to report on HR data. Queries are maintained as described in Creating Queries. The special features of queries created for HR are described in Maintaining Queries in the Human Resources Application. The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the described procedure inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes.
InfoSet management in SAP Query is also used for InfoSet Query. For further information, see Functions for Managing InfoSets.
If you want to create InfoSets for HR, you can use logical databases PNP, PNPCE, PAP, and PCH (see HR Logical Databases). The database you must use to create your InfoSet depends on the component in which the data you want to report on is stored.
The reports you can execute using InfoSets based on logical databases PNP (or PNPCE) or PCH are similar, but differ in that they can select different objects. The following table describes the connection between the logical database, and the infotypes you can include in an InfoSet. It also provides you with one or two examples of reports that you can execute using the appropriate InfoSets.
Logical database PNP/PNPCE* PCH PAP
Selection of Persons Objects from Personnel Planning Applicants
Infotypes that can be included in the InfoSet Infotypes for· Personnel Administration (0000-0999) · Time Management (2000-2999) · Payroll infotypes · Infotypes for Personnel Planning objects that can be related to persons If the object type is specified:· Infotypes for the object type · Infotypes for objects that can be related to the specified object typeIf the object type is not specified:· All infotypes · Infotypes for Recruitment (4000-4999)· Some infotypes for Personnel Administration (such as 0001 and 0002)
· Customer infotypes
Reporting examples · Selection of all persons who participated in a specific business event, output of prices for reserved business events · Selection of all persons assigned to a specific personnel area, output of qualifications held by these persons · Selection of all business events held in London in March, output of all persons who participated in these business events · Selection of all positions assigned to a specific organizational unit, output of all persons assigned to the positions · Selection of all applicants hired last year to work on special projects, output of addresses for the applicants selected
Logical database PNPCE (PNP Concurrent Employment) functions just like logical database PNP. The procedure for creating InfoSets is also the same. It only becomes significant if you work with Concurrent Employment.
Creating InfoSets
The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the procedure described so far in this section inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes. To set up an InfoSet for the HR application, proceed as follows:
1. On the initial screen for maintaining InfoSets, enter a name for the InfoSet and choose Create.
2. On the next screen, enter a name for the InfoSet and select one of the HR logical databases in accordance with your reporting requirements.
Customer infotypes can be created on all HR logical databases. In each individual case, therefore, you must decide which database to select so that you can report on customer infotypes.
This screen enables you to enter an authorization group. All of the queries that are subsequently created using this InfoSet can only be executed by persons who have this authorization group.
3. Choose .
This takes you to the Infotype Selection for InfoSet .

How to read the Payroll Results
Payroll results are stored in cluster Rn of PCL2 as field string and internal tables.
n - Country identifier.
Standard reports read the results from cluster Rn. Report RPCLSTRn lists all payroll results;
Report RPCEDTn0 lists the results on a payroll form.
The cluster definition of payroll results is stored in two INLCUDE reports:
include: rpc2rx09. "Definition Cluster Ru (I)
include: rpc2ruu0.Definition Cluster Ru (II)
o This first INCLUDE defines the country-independent part; the second
INCLUDE defines the country-specific part (US).
o The cluster key is stored in the field string RX-KEY.
All the field string and internal tables stored in PCL2 are defined in the ABAP/4 dictionary. This allows you to use the same structures in different definitions and nonetheless maintain data consistency.
The structures for cluster definition comply with the name convention PCnnn
Unfortunately 'nnn' can be any set of alphanumeric characters.
*Key definition
DATA: BEGIN OF RX-KEY.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE PC200.
DATA: END OF RX-KEY.
*Payroll directory
DATA: BEGIN OF RGDIR OCCURS 100.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE PC261.
DATA: END OF RGDIR.
How to retrieve Payroll results
o To read payroll results, you need two keys: pernr and seqno
o You can get SEQNO by importing the cluster directory (CD) first.
Example
REPORT ZHRIMPRT.
TABLES: PERNR, PCL1, PCL2.
INLCUDE: rpc2cd09. "Definition cluster CD
PARAMETERS: PERSON LIKE PERNR-PERNR.
RP-INIT-BUFFER.
*Import cluster Directory
CD-KEY-PERNR = PERNR-PERNR.
RP-IMP-C2-CU.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
LOOP AT RGDIR.
RX-KEY-PERNR = PERSON.
UNPACK RGDIR-SEQNR TO RX-KEY-SEQNO.
*Import data from PCL2
RP-IMP-C2-RU.
ENDLOOP.
o Reading records from the Payroll directory
after importing the payroll directory, which record to read is up to the programmer
o Each payroll result has a status.
'P' - previous result
'A' - current (actual) result
'O' - old result
o Function module CD_EVALUATION_PERIODS will restore the payroll result status for a period when that payroll is initially run. It also will select all the relevant periods to be evaluated.
Example
Call function 'CD_EVALUATION_PERIODS'
exporting
bonus_date = ref_periods-bondt
inper_modif = pn-permo
inper = ref_periods-inper
pay_type = ref_periods-payty
pay_ident = ref_periods-payid
tables
rgdir = rgdir
evpdir = evp
iabkrs = pnpabkrs
exceptions
no_record_found = 1.
Authorization Check
Authorization for Persons
In the authorization check for persons, the system determines whether the user has the authorizations required for the organizational features of the employees selected with GET PERNR.
Recruits for which the user has no authorization are skipped and appear in a list at the end of the report.
Authorization object: 'HR: Master data'
Authorization for Data
In the authorization check for data, the system determines whether the user is authorized to read the infotypes specified in the report.
If the authorization for a particular infotype is missing, the evaluation is terminated and an error message is displayed.
Deactivating the Authorization Check
In certain reports, it may be useful to deactivate the authorization check in order to improve performance. (E.g. when running payroll)
You can store this information in the object 'HR: Reporting'.
2.1.6 Concepts of Macros (Import/Export etc.)
Macros:
Introduction
Programs that process the cluster data (for example, RX) do not access the cluster independently. The data is accessed using a defined interface created with macros.
Macro contains some part of source code, which it will be useful for number of applications. Macro is module, which is stored
Naming Conventions of Macro:
RP-aaa-bb-cc
aaa is the type of Macro. It takes two values
o IMP Import Macro
o EXP Export Macro
bb is the Database table where the data is saved:
o C1 Database object PCL1
o C2 Database object PCL2
o C3 Database object PCL3
o C4 Database object PCL4
Cc is the cluster, it may take
o RX Cluster object RX
o RD Cluster object RD
o B2 Cluster object B2 and so on.
Defining and Calling the Macros
Defining:
There are two options for defining the Macros
Macros are defined using the ABAP Commands DEFINE. END-OF-DEFINITION. A macro can be used within a report or within include. If a macro is used in a report, and the macro is defined in include with the DEFINE command, include must be integrated.
Macros can also be defined as RMAC macros. The source code of these modules is stored in the function section of the control table TRMAC. The coding is grouped under a specific name in the table key.
According to conventions, the first two letters of the name must stand for the application. The rest of the name is freely definable.
Difference between the two methods is:
If a macro is changed, each report using this macro is automatically regenerated when it is executed.
When you change a RMAC macro in the table TRMAC, the reports that use this macro are not regenerated automatically. You must regenerate them manually.
Standard HR Macros
o The macro RP-PROVIDE-FROM-FRST retrieves the first (start) data record, which is valid in the data selection period.
o The macro RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the last (latest) data record, which is valid in the data selection period.
o The macro RP-READ-INFOTYPE retrieves the data record(s), which is valid in the data selection period.
How to check whether the macro operation is successful or not
For every macro, whether the operation was successful or not will be checked with
PNP-SW-FOUND.
If PNP-SW-FOUND = 1, then the operation is successful.
Where exactly the Macrocode is stored
The program code pertaining to this macro is stored in the control table RMAC
Guidelines for how and when to use the Standard Macros
o RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST
Use macro RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST in programs for the logical databases PNP and PAP where the first data record for a period (can be a subtype) is read from an infotype table. The infotype table has been filled earlier (for example, with GET PERNR or RP_READ_INFOTYPE). This macro is only helpful if the infotype has time constraint 1 or 2.
Prerequisites
The validity begin date of the time period must be before or the same as the validity end date.
Validity start and end dates are correct (preferably of the type DATE).
The infotype table is sorted in ascending order. Otherwise, you would receive the first fitting table entry that might not necessarily correspond to the first time entry.
Features
The first entry for a specified period is placed in the table header entry from an internal infotype table.
Parameters
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST inftytab subty beg end
IN: 1) Name of the internal table
2) Subtype required or SPACE if no subtype is being specified
3) Validity start date of the time interval
4) Validity end date of the time interval
OUT: 1) PNP-SW-FOUND: has the value 0 if there is no matching entry in the infotype table in the given time period. Otherwise it has the value 1.
2) The matching table header entry if PNP-SW-FOUND = 1 or
the initial table header entry if PNP-SW-FOUND = 0
Example
(RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST inftytab subty beg end)
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FIRST P0021 '1' PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '1'.
ENDIF.
or
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST P0001 SPACE PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '0'.
WRITE: / 'Error: Org. assignment is missing' REJECT.
ENDIF.
o RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST
You use macro RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST in programs for the logical databases PNP and PAP where the last data record for a period (can be a subtype) is read from an infotype table. The infotype table has been filled earlier (for example, with GET PERNR or RP_READ_INFOTYPE). This macro is only helpful if the infotype (or subtype) has time constraint 1 or 2.
Prerequisites
The validity begin date of the time period must be before or the same as the validity end date.
Validity start and end dates are correct (preferably of the type DATE).
The infotype table is sorted in ascending order. Otherwise, you would receive the last fitting table entry that might not necessarily correspond to the last time entry.
Features
The macro RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST makes sure that the last entry for a specified period is placed in the table header entry of the report output list.
Parameters
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST inftytab subty beg end
IN: 1) Name of the internal table
2) Subtype required or SPACE if no subtype is being specified
3) Validity begin date of the time interval
4) Validity end date of the time interval
OUT: 1) PNP-SW-FOUND: has the value 0 if there is no matching entry in the infotype table in the given time period. Otherwise it has the value 1.
2) The matching table header entry if PNP-SW-FOUND = 1 or
the cleared table header entry if PNP-SW-FOUND = 0
Example:
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0021 '1' PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '1'.
ENDIF.
OR
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0001 SPACE PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '0'.
WRITE: / 'Error: Org. assignment is missing'. REJECT.
ENDIF.
RP_READ_INFOTYPE
You can use the macro in all programs at any point. You can also use it in function modules. In database PNP, an infotype is usually read with GET PERNR. Using macro RP_READ_INFOTYPE is an exception.
You can also use the function module HR_READ_INFOTYPE. For information on how to use the function module, see the documentation on Function Modules.
Prerequisites
The validity begin date of the time period must be before or the same as the validity end date.
Validity begin and end are correct date specifications (preferably of the type DATE).
The infotype table must match the infotype number.
The program using the macro must contain the include DBPNPMAC.
Features
The macro RP_READ_INFOTYPE makes sure that all data records for a person for the specified period are placed in an internal infotype table.
Parameters
RP_READ_INFOTYPE pernr infty inftytab beg end
IN: 1) Personnel number of the person requested
2) Infotype number of the required infotype
3) Name of the internal infotype table
4) Validity start date of the time interval
5) Validity end date of the time interval
OUT: 1) PNP-SW-FOUND = 0, if there is no matching record in the dataset
PNP-SW-FOUND = 1, if there is no matching record in the dataset
2) PNP-SW-AUTH-SKIPPED-RECORD = 0, if the HR authorization check has not retained any records due to incorrect authorizations.
PNP-SW-AUTH-SKIPPED-RECORD = 1 , if the HR authorization check has retained at least one record due to lack of authorization
3) Internal infotype table, containing all matching records for which the user is authorized (this table can also be empty).
Example
(RP_READ_INFOTYPE pernr infty inftytab beg end)
INFOTYPES: 0001.
RP-LOWDATE-HIGHDATE.
DATA: PERNR LIKE P0001-PERNR.
DATA: BEGDA LIKE P0001-BEGDA, ENDDA LIKE P0001-ENDDA.
PERNR = '12345678'.
BEGDA = LOW-DATE + 15
ENDDA = HIGH-DATE - 5.
RP-READ-INFOTYPE PERNR 0001 P0001 BEGDA ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-AUT-SKIPPED-RECORD EQ '1'.
WRITE: / 'Insufficient authorization'. STOP.
ENDIF.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '0'.
WRITE: / 'Infotype 0001 missing'. STOP.
ENDIF.
2.1.7 Retrieval of data using LDBs (PNP/PAP/APP/PCH) without LDBs.
Logical database
A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. Using logical databases facilitates the process of reading database tables.
HR Logical Database is PNP
Main Functions of the logical database PNP:
Standard Selection screen
Data Retrieval
Authorization check
To use logical database PNP in your program, specify in your program attributes.
Standard Selection Screen
Date selection
Date selection delimits the time period for which data is evaluated. GET PERNR retrieves all records of the relevant infotypes from the database. When you enter a date selection period, the PROVIDE loop retrieves the infotype records whose validity period overlaps with at least one day of this period.
Person selection
Person selection is the 'true' selection of choosing a group of employees for whom the report is to run.
Sorting Data
The standard sort sequence lists personnel numbers in ascending order.
SORT function allows you to sort the report data otherwise. All the sorting fields are from infotype 0001.
Report Class
You can suppress input fields, which are not used on the selection screen by assigning a report class to your program.
If SAP standard delivered report classes do not satisfy your requirements, you can create your own report class through the IMG.
Data Retrieval from LDB
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.
Period-Related Data
All infotype records are time stamped.
IT0006 (Address infotype)
01/01/1990 12/31/9999 present
Which record to be read depends on the date selection period specified on the
selection screen. PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
Current Data
IT0006 Address - 01/01/1990 12/31/9999 present
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the record, which is valid in the data selection period.
For example, pn/begda = '19990931' pn/endda = '99991231'
IT0006 subtype 1 is resident address
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0006 1 PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
2.2 Personnel Administration (PA)
PA involves administrating employee data, commonly referred to Master Data. Master Data contains all employee data used in HR processing. Master Data includes Personal (E.g. address), Organizational (Position description), Benefits (Insurance, Pension), Time & Payroll.
Master Data is stored in Infotypes. Infotypes are tables (for user Data entry screen) that contain logically related employee data. Data can be stored for specific periods, which includes current and historical.
Components of PA:
Personnel Area: represents a division of a company code into subunits. It is an organizational entity representing an area within an organization defined by specific aspects of personnel administration, time management and payroll. Personnel areas are subdivided into personnel subareas. Personnel area is specific to HR and is a four character alphanumeric identification. E.g. Personnel area 100 is for employees in Karnataka, 200 is for Chennai.
Personnel Subarea: is a further subdivision of Personnel area. It may represent geographical locations. Functions include:
1. Set groupings for Time Management, so that work schedules, substitution and absence and leave types can be setup for individual personnel subareas.
2. Generate default pay scale type and area for an employee's basic pay.
3. Define public holiday calendar.
Employee Groups: divides or groups employees into various categories. E.g. Active employees, Retired employees, Contractors Employee groups are used to generate default values for payroll accounting area and basic pay.
Employee Subgroups: are further differentiated within the employee group. E.g. Salaried employees, Hourly employees, unionized employees, Executives The employee subgroup grouping for the payroll rule allows you to define different payroll procedures for different employee subgroups. For e.g. you can specify whether an employee's pay should be determined on hourly or monthly basis. The employee subgroup grouping for the work schedule defines the validity of work schedule, and the attendance or absence quota type determines the validity of time quotas.
Here a Data Model
2.2.1 Importance of Dates and periods in payroll
Here is a simple ABAP example of reading DATE types stored in infotype 0041.
There can be a maximum of 12 dates stored in this infotype. Here is an example of an infotype 0041 record:
The date types are stored in PA0041-DAR01, PA0041-DAR02, etc.
In the example above, PA0041-DAR01 is 01, PA0041-DAR02 is 09.
The dates themselves are stored in PA0041-DAT01, PA0041-DAT02, etc
To read through this in ABAP, the easiest way is to use the DO VARYING statement. Here is a simple demonstration ABAP:
Note: to print the text of the date type, e.g. Leave year entry select from table T548T.
REPORT ZDATES1.
TABLES: PERNR.
DATA: BEGIN OF MYDATES,
DAR LIKE P0041-DAR01,
DAT LIKE P0041-DAT01,
END OF MYDATES.
INFOTYPES 0041.
GET PERNR.
WRITE: PERNR-PERNR, PERNR-ENAME. "Show employee number and name
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0041 SPACE PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND = 1.
DO 12 TIMES VARYING MYDATES
FROM P0041-DAR01
NEXT P0041-DAR02.
If mydates-dar ne space.
WRITE: /, MYDATES-DAR, MYDATES-DAT.
Endif.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
2.2.2 Overview of date fields and period-Ex. for period/in-period/ payroll
FOR-PERIOD: Payroll period (start and end date of a period) for which a payroll result is created or generated.
IN-PERIOD: The payroll period (start and end date of a period) in which a payroll result is created or generated.
Example: For every employee payroll should be run, it may be bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Say it is monthly, then for an employee a payroll should be run for this month and it is run next month then. For-period start date is 01/9/2003 and end date is 30 and in-period end date will be the date it is run 15/10/2003.
In-Period View
An in-period view is a selection of payroll results from the payroll directory (for example, RPCLSTRD Payroll Result for Germany,) for a number of in-periods. The payroll results that were generated for the required number of payroll periods in the selected period are selected.
Payroll Result
For-Period View
A for-period view is a selection of payroll results from the payroll directory (for example, RPCLSTRC Payroll Result for Switzerland) for a number of for-periods. The payroll results that were generated in the required number of payroll periods for the selected period are selected.
Example: For-Period View / In-Period View
Payroll
result For-period
view Start date
for-per. view End date
for-per. view In-period
view End date
in-per. view
1 01/1997 01.01.1997. 31.01.1997 02/1997 28.02.1997
2 02/1997 01.02.1997 28.02.1997 02/1997 28.02.1997
Explanation
The payroll result 1 for the payroll period (for-period) 01/1997 has the start date 01.01.1997 and the end date 31.01.1997. This payroll result was generated in the payroll period (in-period) 02/1997.
2.2.3 Repetitive Structures processing
In many master data infotypes the data is stored in the form of repetitive structures. For example infotype 0008, the structure wage type line is available for 20 times, that is an employee is eligible for having 20 different wage types based on his benefits. When evaluating repeat structures, you must ensure that all fields are entered. In the case of the Basic Pay infotype, 20 * 5 = 100 fields are queried.
To use this method of evaluation, define a field string whose structure corresponds to the fields in one line of the repetitive structure.
Example for understanding the repetitive Structure
Say, for an employee you want to know that for what all wage types an employee is eligible for the latest period you mentioned on the selection screen.
Using LDB (PNP)
Program:
Report zhk_repstru.
Tables Pernr.
Infotypes 0008.
You have to declare a structure same as repetitive structure in the 0008 infotype
Data: begin of s_wagetypes,
Wagetype type p0008-lga01,
Amount type p0008-bet01,
Hours type p0008-anz01,
Unit type p0008-ein01,
Ind type p0008-opk01,
End of s_wagetypes,
Selecting data from the Data base Get pernr
Getting the latest record based on the selection period.
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0008 SPACE PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
Now knowing for what all wage types the employee is eligible.
Do 20 times varying s_wagetypes from p0008-lga01 next p0008-lga02. If s_wagetypes-wagetype is initial.
o Here the data is stored sequentially, i.e., if the employee is eligible for 5 wage types then all the 5 wage types are stored sequentially in lga01 to lga05 respectively. So, if say the lga05 is initial then it is understood that, employee is eligible for only 4 wage types and from lga05 to lga20 structures will be empty so, we need not process further
Exit.
Else.
Write: / s_wagetypes-wagetype,
S_wagetypes-amount.
Endif.
Enddo.
2.2.4 Guidelines to retrieve Payroll data (Mainly US/UK/Ireland)
Before directly going into the Guidelines to retrieve Payroll Data let us look in to the basic concepts of the Payroll.
Introduction to Payroll
To calculate the remuneration for work done for each employee
Payroll does not just involve the calculation of remuneration, but consists of a variety of processes that are becoming increasingly important due to the employers increased obligation to supply benefits and medical welfare. These benefits are products of:
Labor law
Tax law
Contribution law
Benefits law
Civil law
Reporting law
Information law
Statistics law
Payroll in the SAP System: In the SAP Human Resources Management System, payroll accounting is executed using the Payroll driver.
Process Flow:
When you access Payroll, the payroll driver calls the accompanying payroll schema, which consists of a sequence of functions. For each activity, the individual functions import data from internal tables and payroll relevant files.
Payroll Integration:
Payroll can be integrated in Personnel Administration, Time Management, Incentive Wages and Accounting:
Standardized data retention enables you to use master data and other payroll relevant data from Personnel Administration.
Time data, entered via Time Management, is automatically included in the Payroll and is valuated during the payroll run. Data from the Incentive Wages component is used to calculate piecework wages and premium wages directly in Payroll.
Information on expenses and payables from Payroll is posted for accounting directly in Financial Accounting, and you assign the costs to the appropriate cost center. You can also control the financial system of third-party providers.
Payroll Driver
Payroll driver is a special report for Payroll.
SAP has developed country-specific payroll drivers, which are based on report RPCALCx0.
The country-specific net calculation of pay must be developed explicitly for every country.
Separate country programs, which meet the tax and insurance requirements of the respective country, can be created from the basic report RPCALCx0. Since the payroll driver has a modular structure, you can use the Customizing functions to quickly modify the payroll procedure to meet the particular requirements of your enterprise.
Integration
Calculation rules and other reports are stored in an accompanying schema, which also contains the activities carried out by the payroll driver during payroll. All data is stored in internal tables and saved in files with a cluster structure.
When you access Payroll, the payroll driver calls the accompanying payroll schema, which consists of a sequence of functions. For each activity, the individual functions import data from internal tables and payroll relevant files.
Payroll Schema:
It contains calculation rules to be used by the payroll driver during payroll.
SAP has developed country-specific schemas, which are based on schema X000.
With country-specific reports, the first character in the name refers to the country indicator.
For example,
D for Germany
F for France
U for USA
Schema Structure A schema consists of the following parts:
1. Initialization
Where system performs the following steps:
Updates the databases
Imports required infotypes
2. Gross calculation of pay
Where system performs the following steps:
Processes basic data and time data
Reads payroll account of the last period accounted
Processes time data and calculate the individual gross values
Performs factoring
3. Net calculation of pay
where system performs the following steps:
Calculates net remuneration
Performs bank transfers
Example:
The classic example is the payroll for salaried employees at the end of the month in contrast to the wage accounting of hourly workers in the middle of the following month.
Enter the organizational assignment of employees to a payroll accounting area (ABKRS) in Infotype 0001. Payroll accounting area also determines the two functions necessary for payroll accounting:
The summarization of personnel numbers to be accounted and
The determination of the exact payroll period.
Select Personnel Numbers:
Personnel numbers are selected for payroll accounting by specifying a payroll area in the payroll driver. Infotype 0001 Organizational Assignment enables you to assign an employee to the appropriate payroll area.
These Pernrs are locked during Payroll Run.
Determine Payroll Period:
On the Selection screen, you can give Payroll Period Parameter as per the requirement else you can give Payroll Area, by which system calculates the payroll period.
Finding Payroll Results for a Specific Query:
Payroll results are stored in cluster Rx of the PCL2. The cluster key is not mnemonic; it contains only the PERNR (personnel number) and SEQNO (sequential number) fields.
The internal table RGDIR (PC261 - Cluster Directory for Export and Import of Payroll Results) contains a directory entry for each payroll result.
This entry is a sequential number (RGDIR-SEQNR), which uniquely identifies the payroll result.
Payroll results can only be imported if the payroll cluster key (PC200) contains the personnel number and sequential number.
Function Modules for Selecting Payroll Results
You will probably always have the same queries when importing payroll records. For example, "Which payroll results (original and retroactively accounted records) were written for a specific payroll run (defined by IN payroll category, IN payroll area, IN period)"? To save programmers from having to write their own reports for this functionality, standard modules are available for the most important queries. The employee's payroll directory is always transferred to the function modules using the table RGDIR (PC261). The modules then transfer the payroll records, which satisfy the specified selection criteria using a table whose type corresponds to that of the RGDIR (PC261) but which has a different name.
Exporting Pernr Personal Number
Importing Molga Country
Tables Rgdir Payroll Results Directory
This Function Module populates payroll results of all employees with PERNR & SEQNR as key.
Macro Modules:
We have populated Results Directory & retrieved Sequential Number, we need to call an import macro module for retrieving the required payroll results. For this we need to pass the unique identification of an Employee payroll Result i.e. rx-key-pernr = v_pernr.
rx-key-seqno = v_seqnr.
To that import macro.
Calling Import Module: RP-imp-c2-RU.
This Macro populates all the cluster tables required for Payroll, by importing from PCL2 Cluster Directory. After that we can loop through these cluster tables for required fields.
Guideline to write a program, which retrieves the data for, specified country
Use Logical Database As per the Requirement.
Include Payroll Driver with reference to Country- Specific modules which inturn includes Country-specific Schemas etc.
Get the PERNRs for which you want to obtain payroll results.
Populate Results Directory RGDIR with PERNR & Molga (Country) calling FM CU_READ_RGDIR.
Get the Unique Sequential Number with PERNR, From Date & Last Date calling CD_READ_LAST.
Pass these KEY Field (PERNR, SEQNR) to IMPORT MACRO
RP-IMP-C2- RU to import all the relevant field entries from PCL2
DIRECTORY to all the cluster tables
Get the required fields by looping through cluster tables.
Integration
All data is stored in internal tables and saved in files with a cluster structure.
Internal Tables: Internal tables store data during payroll.
The system imports data to these tables and used them to calculate new data. This data is then also saved in internal tables.
At the start of the payroll run, the system reads the values from the results tables to the old results table (ORT). Data from the previous period is, therefore, available in the current payroll period.
The most important internal tables are:
Input table (IT)
Table IT contains data that can be edited. The table exists only during processing.
Output table (OT)
Table OT contains the results of an activity. These results are written to the input table for further processing. The table exists only during processing.
Results table (RT)
Table RT contains the results of the period for which payroll has been run. The system saves this data in the PCL2 file in cluster RX.
Interaction of IT, OT and RT:
The necessary data for the respective processing step is loaded into the input table and is thus available for various processing procedures. The results of a processing step are stored either in the output table or the results table. At the end of a processing step, the data from the OT is loaded back into the IT, where it is available for further processing steps. The IT and OT are only temporarily filled, whereas the RT is stored on the database. In one of the first processing steps, the RT of the last payroll accounting period is imported into the old results table (ORT) and can consequently be used for further processing.
Payroll Relevant Files:
Payroll files contain data for payroll and payroll results.
Structure
The system requires the following files for payroll:
Pnnnn (nnnn = number of the infotype)
The Pnnnn files contain data that has been entered in the respective infotypes for an employee.
Example
P0000 - Actions Infotype
P0008 - Basic Pay Infotype
PCL1
The PCL1 file contains primary information, in other words, data from the master data and time recording systems.
PCL2
The PCL2 file contains secondary information, in other words, derived data and all generated schemas
Integration
When you start payroll, the system imports the relevant master data from the Pnnnn files (for example, basic pay and tax class) and imports the time data from the PCL1 file to the IT table.
The system imports the payroll results from the previous month from table ORT (for example, to form averages).
The system processes this data and saves the payroll results and generated schemas in the PCL2 file.

Update multiple infotypes for an employee

I have a requirement to update some fields in various PA infotypes like 0002, 0006, 0008, 0015, 0021 and a few custom PA infotypes (9xxx) for a given set of employees.
Is there any method by which I would be able to update the required fields of all the above listed infotypes for an employee in one go? Is it possible to update all the infotypes of all the given set of employees in one go?
Please let me know the FM that could be used to meet the requirement. An example would also be helpful.
Thanks,
Jiten

Please check if there is already personnel actions defined with all the infotypes you are trying to update. If you have them, then you can use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION or HR_MANTAIN_MASTERDATA very easily with one single call. For that please refer the logic of PA48 transaction, simple one.
If the personnel action is not defined, then you need to call the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION separately for each infotype. Or HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA at once for all of them.
From the list of standard infotypes mentioned, only IT0008 is having repetitive structure, handle it as a special case else others looks very similar.
Note : I don't see IT0000 mentioned in the list, hence i presume that there are no personnel actions defined for this set. But you can get it confirmed from your functional folks.
