Update appraisals in HCM Processes and Forms

Is it possible by standard to update backend appraisal objects (VA, VB, VC)? Is it done with SAP_PD standard service?

If appraisal data needs to be persisted to standard PA or PD infotypes - you could use SAP_PA or SAP_PD. To update other data you would  have to go for custom advanced generic service.
There is no option with HCM P&F to update custom or non infotypes using standard services.

  • Creating a new position and updating IT 1028 using HCM processes and forms

    I have to create a new position and update the related infotypes using the design time framework of HCM processes and forms. The problem I am facing is the info type 1028 is not a part of the de coupled infotype framework and does not appear in the service fields list. How can I update the infotype 1028? I was thinking of updating it using the FLUSH method of the class implementing the ADV services interface IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE_ADVANCED by calling the function module RH_INSERT_INFTY. But, how do I get the position ID created? Is there any other way of achieving this? Please help as soon as possible.

    HI
    Create one Function Module to return all the vacant positions and load that in a drop down.
    For IT1028 you have to update via the RH_INSERT_INFTY.
    Kind Regards,

  • Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

    is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
    1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
    2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
    3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
    4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
    is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,
    your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
    The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
    In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

  • Workflow could not start in HCM process and Forms

    Hi All
    It would be really helpful if you can suggest possible solution regarding case management case in HCM forms and process.
    I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype 2 updation. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine. Now when I run the process from HRASR_DT it generates a process number but it also gives an error workflow could not start.I get following error (SWIA log - Step history)

    Hi Swati
    One of the similar (not exact) issues were resolved by correcting the event linkage....please refer thread:
    http://scn.sap.com/message/14848795#14848795
    Not sure of the details of the the resolution, maybe Ragavendran Kanagaraj can throw more light.
    Just some high level checks (if not done already):
    Check event linkage errors in SWEQADM if anything is related to your WF
    Check in SWEL if it's showing any more details (not sure if it will)
    Any warnings in syntax check of WF template (PFTC) or WF definition (SWDD)
    Any error sin binding

  • Infotype 0000 Creation using HCM Processes and forms in MSS

    Hi,
    I need to create an Action for Transfer an employee using HCM Processes and Forms. So, my form should update infotype 0000, 0001, 0008 etc.
    But when I provide create operation for infotype 0000, system is throwing short dump. When I change the operation to change nothing was creating in infotype 0000 for that respective employee. Is there any way to update infotype 0000 using HCM Processes and forms. Please help me here.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nayani.

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for your reply mate.
    I understand that for IT0000 update we don't have to configure it explicitly.We just assign values to MASSG and MASSN and IT0000 should update. I am doing exactly that.
    For the "condition" we do have multiple rules for that and I am familiar about the trickthat the rule fields must be part of the SAP_PA service which is actually making the update. That's all in place and that's working fine.
    Now coming to the problem -
    The "action" is "Return from Career Break" where the only PA infotype that has to be updated is IT0000. Besides that we are updating Absences,IT2001.
    I have tested the process thoroughly and it seems that the system does not allow an IT0000 update without any other PA data change. To test this, I added a PA infotype update in my config and at that time IT0000 got updated beautifully. But when I am trying to update only IT0000, it fails.
    To solve the issue, I had a discussion with my team and we have decided to copy IT0001 along with IT0000. So as of now, we have sorted out a workaround but the technical issue is something I would like to look into.
    If you figure out anything then please let me know.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks,

  • HCM Process and Forms - Changes to Form Issue

    We have a scenario within HCM processes and forms where the changes being made by an intermediate approval step is not being sent to the next level approver.  For example, in a pay change the initiating manager sends the pay change to his/her boss for approval, then once approved the form is sent to HR for final approval and update into R/3.
    In this scenario the initiating manager starts the process and makes appropriate updates to the form (including comments).  This then routes to that manager's manager for updates/approval.  When processing the form, the approving manager can see the information input by the initiating manager.  The approving manager then has the opportunity to make appropriate changes within the form and add comments before it is approved and sent to HR for final approval.
    Once the approving manager makes changes and sends this to HR, when HR processes the form they see the changes as if it was sent by initiating manager (HR does not see the changes made by the approving manager).
    I appreciate any insight you may have on this issue.
    Regards,
    Brad

    Sounds like you process is designed incorrectly and your are having problems with your process object integrity. You need to be careful with loops/branches when designing your process. Are you doing it all in the same Form Scenario and just using multiple steps? The form scenario will "share" the "data" hence you can have issues. You can split it to a differnt form scenario and pass the data over from the other FS to your FS. Then you know you will have your own data there. I often see people trying to do their whole process within one form scenario and use multiple steps without realizing the data integrity issues with that.
    Hope this helps.

  • Workflow issue in HCM Process and Forms

    Hi,
    I have created one  workflow for HCM Process and form ( Termination) . In that workflow, there are Two levels. First and second level is approved by the respective managers. I am using the Standard TASK TS17900100  both levels having the  Send,  "BACK TO AUTHOR" option.
    When I initiate the form it has generated the process reference number, it went to first level approval  and the respective manger received work item in his UWL inbox  in this stage I have checked in backend (PA20)  infotypes( 0 & 1) are updating automatically and employee has been terminated without approval of work item.
    I have checked in workflow log the work item has with first level manger only.
    any one please help me on this.
    Regards,
    Srujan

    Hi,
    TS17900101 uses --> CL_HRASR00_WF_COMPONENTS / Method WI_EXECUTION_VIA_R3_INBOX.
    In the text of the method you can read the following:
    It is only allowed to trigger a WI via UWL which does not execute
    that method which was customized at the corresponding task (so this
    method). To ensure this if the WI was startet via R3 Inbox then
    exactly this method is called to present an error.
    So, are you approving from UWL or SBWP?

  • Isuue in HCM Process and Forms

    Hi All,
    Before i mention about the issue i am facing i would like to  brief about my process.  In HCM process and forms i have a form where HRPB will modify the position and submit it. CDT will approve the request, which updates the records in back end.
    The whole process i mentioned above was working fine till we upgraded EHP5. But now after the upgrade, i see that when CDT clicks on the send button it does not proceed further. I can see a loading symbol all the time. I even tried setting  break points in the class CL_HRASR00_DISPATCHER, which is not getting called. I don't find the process running in SM50 as well.
    And wanted to mention that this is happening only in QA system  and it is working absolutely fine in DEV. I am sure about all the transports.
    I  appreciate  help on this.
    Thank You,

    Hi,
    In EhP4, the employee search is created using OADP framework . And if the relevant configuration is not maintained , I mean there is a view cluster where the applications (PA/PD) and relevant object types are maintained.
    If this is not maintained, this creates a error. Please check .
    Hope this helps.

  • Default value in dropdown field for FPM form in HCM Processes and forms

    Hi Experts,
    I am developing HCM Processes and forms using FPM forms and I had a dropdown list contains ten values. So, every time while opening the form first time, my dropdown field should be defaulted with fifth value from the list. How can we achieve this in dropdown field related to FPM Form.
    Please guide me.
    Regards,

    You would have to assign the default value to one your custom generic services.

    Hi Shweta,
    Please check SY-UCOMM in both the cases.
    1. After Selecting Position
    2. After Clicking 'Next' Button.
    If SY-UCOMM is different, Then Add message to Message_handler only when Position is selected.
    That means If sy-ucomm = Position select User command
    Then Add message to Message_handler.

  • Query on HCM Processes and Forms

    Hi
    I am facing some issues in configuring Hiring Forms in HCM Processes and Forms. I can place them in 2 baskets and describe each of them below. I would appreciate any advise on ways and means to overcome these errors.
    Basket #1
    I want to use the standard forms SHU1, SHU2 in development environment to understand the HCM P&F functionalities. I copied these form scenarios from client 000 and did all the configurations as outline in IMG activity HRAdministrative Services >> Configuration of Forms and Processes >> Sample Processes for HCM Process and Forms.
    When I run a check using HR Administrative Services >> Configuration of Forms and Processes >> Configuration of Forms >> Check Consistency of Form Scenarios and select Form name, I get errors along following lines:
    u2022     Error Message Sample#1 Form scen SHU1 vers. 00000 serv. SAP_PA: Only one deflt value allowed for field I0009_ZLSCH
    u2022     Error Message Sample#2 Form scen. SHU1 vers. 00000 service SAP_PA: Field I0007_ARBST default value is not created
    u2022     Error Message Sample#3 ISR scenario SHU1 version 00000: Field I0001_BUKRS is missing
    u2022     Error Message Sample#4 Form scen. SHU1 vers. 00000: Field I0007_ARBST service for default values not required
    However, at the bottom of the log I see this message in Green: Form scenario SHU1 version 00000: Form scenario is consistent
    I tried to make the changes as suggested in the Long Text for each of these messages. Probably due to the fact that I am using standard delivered forms, I get this message u201CDo not make any changes (SAP entry)u201D and I am unable to save the changes.
    Basket #2
    In this basket I have Org_Change form and have managed to go the whole nine yards and complete the configuration in ECC. The consistency checks for process and forms are in green. However, I am unable to start the process through Portal. I get this message u201Cno data availableu201D when I try to select a process.
    Among the 5 roles delivered in SAP as initiators for processors u2013I am interested in 3 of them HRASARA (for HR Administrator). I have configured HRASRA and HRASRB as initiators for Org_Change. However, I am not able to figure out how to link these roles to portal roles such as SAP_ASR_ADMINISTRATOR, SAP_ASR_MANAGER etc.
    I would appreciate any advise on ways and means to overcome these errors.
    Thanks
