Using a table in HCM Processes & Forms

I have an infotype with time constraint 3 that I want to present as a table for input on a form using HCM Processes and Forms. 
My question is, how do I configure the fields in the form scenario to support a table of data.  Furthermore, how do I perform the binding in the LiveCycle designer, since I guess each column of my table will be bound to a separate data element in the form interface?

Mike,
1) For the config, you just have to define the fields needed once. Once they are defined and included in the interface to the form you can then bind the fields. It sounds like you know how to do this part.
2) Binding a table is just like any other field. The difference is that you have to bind all cells of the table with the fields needed. You have fields 1, 2 and 3. There are three rows and three columns. You would bind rows 1 - 3, colum 1 with field 1 (drag and drop multiple times), rows 1 - 3, column 2 with field 2 and rows 1 - 3, column 3 with field 3.
I just did this for the first time myself, so I hope my explanation is helpful.

  • Use of Table in HCM Processes and Forms

    Hi Guys,
    I am developing an Adobe form for the HCM process and forms .My requirement is to populate table values in the adobe form   based on a value got in  the backend service.
    I tried declaring an internal table in the backend service but in vain.So decided to code inside the context of the form.But was not able to use the parameters available in the
    Now the trouble is how to get the value from the form scenario field and populate that table.
    Please provide your thoughts.

  • HCM Processes & Forms Cost Assignments Defaults

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a question about making Cost Assignments for Infotyps like "Additional Payment" (0015) or "Employee Remuneration Info" (2010) within a Processes and Forms Scenario. This is really a huge requirement for us because the hole Company is split in several subsidiaries so we need to book the costs to different cost objects.
    In the Backend World (PA30/PA61) when creating a record for either one of the Infotypes I can choose the Option "Maintain cost assignment" so I can define a different cost object where the costs of the created record should be booked.
    I know the data of the cost assignment get's stored in the tables ASSHR & ASSOB. But as I'm using the SAP Backend Services SAP_PA and SAP_PT I can't make any DB update/insert statments after the records are created.
    Did anyone implemented a Scenario like this before?
    Would be awesome if someone could give me an advise.
    Best regards,
    Tobias

    If the infotypes in  question are standard PD infotypes you could use SAP_PD service to update them.
    For any other tables you will have to go with a advanced generic service or do the update in a background workflow task.

  • Error while editing standard HCM Processes & Forms

    Hi experts,
    I would Iike to test the standard HCM processes & Forms & for which I have imported the standard forms from Client 000. I have also configured the ADS & have tested the credentials as well. Everything is fine & new custom ADOBE interactive forms (Not HCM Forms) are working fine through WDA. When I test any of the standard processes using HR Administrator role in Portal, I am able to select the relevant standard process (e.g. TERMINATION) for a given employee, but when I click on the  Edi Process button, the system generates an error (short dump): "'WebDynpro Exception: ADS call failed ". I have checked OSS, but did not find any suitable note for it. I have the HR administrator role assigned in the back end & have confirmed that the ADS configuration as well as credential are working fine using the recommended reports. We are on EhP4 SP06.
    Appreciate if anyone has already experienced these probelms & can suggest any solutions. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Sameer

    Sameer,
    To me it appears that ADS is conencted to only backend ECC not to the portal system.
    Please try below:
    1. Launch WDA for HCMPF in SE80 with appropriate parameters and see if this displays interactive adobe form when you click in edit button.
    2. May be test the ADS connectivity to portal system.

  • HCM Processes & Forms - Infotype 0008

    Hello,
    I am working on a scenario where a salary change is being done through HCM Processes & Forms. The salary that changes is in a wagetype (0001). There are other wage types that are also in infotype 8. How can I make sure that I can add more than 1 wage type in this scenario? Right now, if I only add one wagetype, it doesn't copy the wage types that are in the previous record (which is what I thought it would do).
    So, as an example:
    On date - 1 we have : 0001 - 4,000, 0100 - Indexed to full time salary, 0200 - indexed 12.50 %
    On date we have: 0001 - 4,200
    We want to have: 0001 - 4,200, 0100 and 0200 - 12.50%
    TIA
    Jaron Frenk

    Hi Chris,
    We have a similar requirement to update infotype 0041 records.
    I think you simply use the same field to pass to your service to different fields but you change the index for each time you use it. You can see this in the sample processes SAP provides.
    Could you explain a bit on the above ' index' ? What index are you referring to?
    Also, if possible could you reply with the sample processes in SAP which you were referring to?
    Thanks in advance,

    Dear Sameer,
    The note 1098009 - Limitations for Web Dynpro ABAP doesn't say anything that you can't do.
    I made a brief analysis and didn't see any issue (regarding the note). Check it out in a more detailed manner to see if there isn't a limitation.
    I hope this has been useful.

  • Unable to test a FPM form based process in HCM Process & Forms ?

    Hi Experts,
    Am new to HCM Process & Forms, I created my first form on FPM and am trying to test it but am not able to do so.. can you all please help me figure out where I am going wrong.
    Here is what I am doing ...
    I have a build a FPM Form Scenario and Process. Now when I clicking on the Execute button in HRASR_DT and go the test screen I dont get the option for selecting the Web Dynpro Screen as Application Start Option.
    I also tried testing it through
    http://OURSERVER/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/asr_process_execute_fpm?sap-language=EN&sap-wd-configId=ASR_EXECUTE_5_STEP_PA
    and
    http://OURSERVER/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/asr_process_execute
    when I do this then I am getting an error message "No Internal Service Request scenario was specified".
    Please Advice.
    Thanks

    Hi Sahir,
    Yes, I had to Activate the business function HCM_ASR_CI_5 to get the "Option for Application Start" section in HRASR_DT.
    Thanks for the launchpad configuration link.
    The one think that I am still having issues is that if I goto se80 and selected the WD Application ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE_OVP and using the Application configuration ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE_OVP_CFG I execute it by clicking on Test....I get an error message saying
    "Process does not exist"
    Does this mean I can't test my process through se80 I will always have to go through portal and configure the launchpad to test my process ?
    Or am I missing some config or doing something wrong ?

  • Use of BADI in HCM Processes and Forms

    Hello Friend's,
                I am feeling trouble in learning HCM Processes and Forms.. Actually i dont know what is the role of BADI in HCM Processes and Forms. one more thing i need to know is OPERATION for backend service. What is the use of operation and how i can trigger the badi methods when running in portal.

    Hi Ramesh,
    Hope this is not too late to help.
    Do_operation will be called whenever there is roundtrip, by triggering event USER_EVENT_CHECK using form scripting.
    example,
    To trigger roundtrip for a drop down list, under exit* event add this
    xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "USER_EVENT_CHECK";
    ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");

  • HCM Processes & Forms - Some questions about the PD Processes

    Hi Experts,
    At my Organisation we use HCM Processes and Forms and Organisation Management and MSS to manage Position Based Security (PBS).
    The MSS Managers have requested a form be developed which they can use to extend an existing Position to Employee temporary assignment (IT1001 S-P with A081 relationship) which is due to expire within the next 30 days. We recently upgraded to ECC EHP6 and I thought I would now have a go at developing this Form.
    While researching in SCN and SAP Press books on the ‘HCM Processes and Forms’ topic, I have discovered a lot of information that has assisted me so far in progressing this solution.
    There are a few givens that I have confirmed so far, which are as follows;
    Since we are using Positions (Organisation Management), the only option available here is to use the PD Process, which implies using the SAP_PD Back_End Service. Therefore this become the baseline to build upon.
    While researching in SCN and SAP Press books on this subject I could not find relevant information about what is possible using the SAP_PD Service to achieve my solution design for the above requirements and thus my post to the HCM P&F Community for assistance.
    My questions are as follows;
    In the solution design, I was considering to use the “Process without Start Object” or “Mass Start” to skip Step 1 - “Selection Object” and use a Generic Service to get all the positions for the Manager (along the lines of the SAP Standard Generic Service - find Positions in Manager’s area of Responsibility) and only retain the Positions where the End Date for the IT1001 A081 relationship in between the Effective Date and Effective Date plus 30 days. This should provide me with all the positions under the Manager that have the A081 relationship with the assigned employee that are about to expire within the next 30 days.
    I want the result presented on the Form in a Table format so that the Manager has to enter the Extension Start Date and End Date for the new assignment period.
    Is this possible using Standard Design Time functionality?
    2.       Or Instead of Question 1, could I use OADP to achieve the same result using a custom search class to return a list of multiple objects (Positions)which is used to populate the form?
    3.       I get the impression that the ‘Mass Start’ process is mainly for multiple employees. Can it also be used for multiple PD objects?
    4.       I get the impression that if I used the ‘Mass Start’ option I could only use this if I was CREATING a new object or assignment? (I take it that you cannot use the Mass Start option to CHANGE multiple existing objects. Only because I have not seen any SAP Standard examples of this yet!)   Please confirm if this is possible?
    5.       Has anyone used the “Query for Mass Start” option on a Process? How does that work? (Could I write a ‘SAP Query’ to get the positions I am interested in under the Manager?) Is there a sample SAP Standard process that uses a query?
    Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Mass Processing for employees in HCM Processes & Forms

    Hi experts,
    We are trying to implement mass processing in HCM Processes and Forms,
    Could any one of you give us an overview how this works.
    Any suggestions / documentation is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nrupen
    To be honest there is not much to it and the SAP documentation covers it really.
    Enable the process to be mass processed.
    Make fields visible/invisible/readonly in the columns using the field attributes
    A singlle process is triggered for each employee in mass process table etc.
    Do you have a specific issue?

  • Customizing Requisition request in HCM Processes & Forms

    Hi HCMers,
    We have just upgraded our development system to EhP4 in ECC and E-Recruiting systems, and SP5 in E-recruiting. We want to use the simple requisition request process in HCM Processes and Forms but have several customizations to apply. For example, changes to the form and the workflow.  As a developer I am able to create the custom Adobe form, the custom workflow, and apply any necessary enhancements to ABAP code. However I am unclear how to link these in via the HCM Processes and Forms framework so that they will be called from the standard screen in MSS (Manager Services > My Requisitions > Create New Requisition Request). I did find the tutorial for building a process scenario from scratch, but I can't find the "simple requisition" form in HRASR_DT, but I find the simple form in SFP as ISR_FORM_SRQ1.
    So, my question - what is the best way to implement these customizations? Should I copy the existing process scenario for exstended requisition (HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION) into a Z_HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION and make all my changes; or create my form scenario and process scenario from scratch?  Do we need to change the webdynpro for the Create New Requisition Request to call the new form and scenario, or is there a place that is configured? Do I really even need to use the HCM processes and form framework?
    If I sound clueless it's because I am Anyone wanna give me a clue?
    Thanks for any help you can give!
    Margaret

    Cpoy HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION to your Z one by using the transaction SPRO-> personnel management and then HR Administrative Services and then Configuration of Forms/Processes and then execute the Design Time for process and forms.
    select your Process that is HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION  and copied to your Z one. once you copied then you can given there your own workflow template  and in the form Secnerio you can also given your own customize adobe form.
    In the process start you can assign the role assignemnt to manager then this process would be visible in MSS under manager.
    Hope this would help you.
    thanks,

  • HCM Process & Forms: Date & Time Stamp issue in Prev Comments Box

    Hi
    We implemented HCM Process and Forms and we are in EHP4.  We need user name, date and time stamp in each step for audit purpose.
    Form Process Example:
    Step1: Manager -> Initiates a Form for employee pay/position changes  (REQUEST)
    Step2: 1-Up Manager -> Approves a Form for employee pay/position changes (APPROVE)
    Step3: HR Admin -> Process a Form for employee pay/position changes (PROCESS)
    Process Overview: HR Admin can open a form once all steps are completed and they want to see all 3 steps date & stamp here.
    New Comments -> To enter user comments in each step. Used data type HRASR_CURRENT_NOTE
    Previous Comments-> To display prev. step / user's comments including user name, date & time. Used data type HRASR_PREVIOUS_NOTES.
    I tried all different property settings in the form. May be I am still missing some property settings here.
    Issue:  If user enters any comments in "New Comments" box then only date & time stamp is coming along with their comments in "Previous Comments" otherwise not showing anything, just blank in the Prev. Comments.  I added some code in form script in case no data in "New Comments" then default a value ":" . It is working fine for first step but not working the same for other 2 steps.
    Trying in different way:
    Creating 3 text fields in a form just for display purpose and modifying each field (data set) with some text (combination of user name, system date and time) at each stage/step in a BADI.
    Method: IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS
    Here it is updating correctly for first step/stage (REQUEST) and other 2 fields are not updating accordingly. I did debug for each step and updating the data set correctly but finally not dispalying the valuse in a form except first field.
    Can someone please share your ideas or inputs.
    Appreciate your time & help!
    Thanks
    Hari

    Hi Sahir
    Thank you for your reply.
    As I explained in my post, user details with date & stamp are coming when user enters some comments otherwise it is blank., All users may not enter comments because it is not a "required".
    HR is needed this for audit purpose, just at end of the process they need to see all user names, date & stamp in the form. Forget about comment boxes, Can't we make just simple text fields with user details for each step (all 3 stages)?
    FYI:
    Issue:  If user enters any comments in "New Comments" box then only date & time stamp is coming along with their comments in "Previous Comments" otherwise not showing anything, just blank in the Prev. Comments.  I added some code in form script in case no data in "New Comments" then default a value ":" . It is working fine for first step but not working the same for other 2 steps.
    Appreciate your inputs !

  • HCM Processes & Forms : Migrating from JSPs to Web Dynpro for ABAP

    We are pretty well invested in HCM Processes and Forms.  We currently use JSP based forms as the UI for our notifications.   We do not, use Adobe Forms.
    For a number of reasons, we want to transition to forms based in Web Dynpro for ABAP.
    We want to bring a new scenario online using WD4A.  Down the road, weu2019ll very likely transition our old JSPs over to the new methodology as well.  
    I would expect that this is pretty well doable.  As part of a proof of concept, we did launch notifications from the web dynpro environment, had them initiate workflow, etc .  Weu2019ve also pulled up our web dynpro app from the UWL and portal.
    Has anyone gone through this specific exercise u2013 moving from JSPs to WD4A?  We are particularly interested in where the integration points will be, working with ISR_PROCESS_EVENT, etc.
    Your comments, suggestions, references, etc. are welcomed, as well as any discussion you may offer.
    Thanksu2026
    ...Mike

    And along the same lines, any thoughts around which of the following QISRDPROCESS_TYPEs might be a better choice?
    Entry Using ITS Service
    Entry Using Adobe PDF
    We currently use the ITS Service type.  I think this may be our first direction, replacing url links with links to our webdynpro application which woulds need to integrate calls through ISR_PROCESS_EVENT
    The Adobe Type seems interesting - Again, we do not, nor will, have Adobe Forms in place for this development.  But, I've read some discussion that folks have enhanced out of actual Adobe Form rendering.
    Again, the thoughts of the community are welcomed here.
    Thanks...

  • Interactive Form for HCM Processes & Forms: Custom Event not firing ?

    ECC6
    EP7
    Adobe Reader: 8.1.2
    I am currently developing several Adobe interactive forms as part of an HCM Processes and Forms process. I have started to try to utilize custom form events. Following the documentation, I defined a custom event on the backend...lets say "USER_EVENT_S1". I assigned it a field group of fields and gave it the operation for "check". On the form side, I defined a pushbutton and changed it's "mousedown" FormCalc code to:
    //Set ISR_EVENT for BAdI processing in backend
    $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_S1"
    I then activated the form and went to test it. When clicking the button tied to this event, it does absolutly nothing. I have external breakpoints set on the backend to my custom service that should fire for those fields that are part of the field group. The breakpoints trigger correctly as the form itself loads and hits the "initialize" and "F4 value help" methods. However, it is not doing anything when I press the assigned button to trigger my own user event.
    Any help ?!?!? I see only one implementation from SAP in their standard content and their own user event is not even implemented in the form! (form scenario S_HRPA_DE_REHIRE_1). That's not very reassuring or helpful. haha

    I figured it out this morning. It seems I was using the wrong (older?) button control.
    The one that did NOT work had the following for the "click" event....
    //Trigger call to backend for BAdI user command processing
    app.eval("event.target.SAPSubmit();");
    However, the one that DOES work has this:
    //Trigger call to backend for BAdI user command processing
    ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
    Both are called an "ISR_FormEventButton" however, I guess mine was from an older "library". Anyways...works great now! Back to development....
    (points to the reply for trying to help at least! Thanks!)
