An Overview of HR ABAP for BI Reporting

Objective?

HR Reports Generation using LDB Customer Specific Info types creation.

What we will be discussing today?

are Infotypes? Why Infotypes? Number ranges Time Constraints Infotypes Structures Enhancement of Infotypes

Infotypes?

What?

Logical group of similar data

They are time dependent

Infotypes also have subtypes

Number Ranges

 DS

in HR are a combination of

Master Data Transactional Data Results Data

Master data of PA,TM & PP is structured the same way.

14

Time Constraints
Specified

to show how data records of each infotype react in terms of time

Every

infotype and its subtype has time constraint 7 types of time constraint

15

Time Constraints

Time Constraint #1

Complete Savings No overlaps Only relevant data must exist during the period
Example : Date of Birth

Time Constraint #2

Incomplete Savings without overlaps Not more than 1 record at any point of time
Example : Projects Bench Project

Time Constraint #3 N recs can exist @ a time

Overlaps + Incompleteness permitted

16

Infotype Time Constraints

17

Other T/cs (Misc.)

Time Constraint A

Infotypes exists just once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999

Time Constraint B

Exists for maximum of once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999

Time Constraint T

Time constraint is based on subtype or subtype table

Time Constraint Z

Time constraint for time management infotypes - T554Y

Infotype Structures
Each

Infotype is associated with a - Transparent Table (PAxxxx) - Structure (Pxxxx) Dummy!

Example: For IT0002, Transparent Table PA0002 Structure P0002

Infotype Structure Pnnnn

20

 Every

PAnnnn infotype table has three includes:

PAKEY: Key fields PSHD1: Administrative Information PSnnnn: Infotype specific fields

21

Infotype Structure Pnnnn

22

Transparent Table PAxxxx

23

 Data

records of the Infotypes are stored in the transparent database tables PAnnnn
Example : PA0003 Payroll Status

Each

table has a PK Unique Identifier

24

 Every

PAnnnn infotype table has three includes:

PAKEY: Key fields PSHD1: Administrative Information PSnnnn: Infotype specific fields

25

Structure of Transparent Tables

26

Key Fields

Obj. Identification Indicator Lock Indicator

VALID TO Date Valid FROM Date

27

PERNR: Uniquely identifies an employee SUBTY: Subdivisions of infotypes OBJPS: Differentiates records of infotypes with same features SPRPS: Locks and unlocks the data records ENDDA: End period of a record BEGDA: Starting period of a record SEQNR: Differentiates records with same key and Time constraint 3.

28

Administration Fields

29

Administrative information is stored like

AEDTM (date the record was changed) UNAME (name of the person making change) ITXEX (plain text for the infotype) PREAS (reason for changing the master data)

30

Data Fields in Structure PSnnnn

CI for Customer Includes 1. Present within PSnnnn 2. CSF can be added to this include as Ench. To Infotypes

31

Contains infotype specific data fields Customer specific fields can be added through the INCLUDE CI_PXXXX
32

Enhancement of Infotypes
TCODE : PM01 used for the enhancement of the standard infotypes and for the creation of new infotypes

33

Types of Enhancements
Two

Categories

Enhancing the Standard Infotypes Creating new Infotypes

34

Enhancing Standard Infotype

Select Single Screen tab in PM01 Type the infotype no to be enhanced Select Customer Include and click on Edit
35

 Give

the necessary fields that has to be enhanced in the standard infotype

 Click

on Generate Objects
37

In PA30, to view the enhancement, type the infotype and click on create
38

Here, the enhanced field is displayed along with the standard fields of the infotype
39

40

41

Creating new Infotypes

Create

structure PS9XXX in SE11 with the required fields

In PM01

After

creating the DDIC structure, in PM01, select IT tab and give infotype 9xxx and then click on Generate Objects
43

 The

following objects will be created automatically

DB table PA9xxx Structure P9xxx Module pool MP9xxx00 3 screens (1000, 2000, 3000 for M P) Interface Status Dialog Module (RP_9xxx)
44

In this screen, click on the new entries to apply the characteristics of the new infotype
45

Characteristics of Created Infotype

Here, give all the necessary characteristics of the created infotype and save
46

In PA30 type the created infotype for the PERNR and click on create
47

Created Infotype

The new infotype is displayed with field as created in the DDIC structure

PERNRs Duality

Whenever you declare TABLES keyword, then PERNR in the declaration has a duality (i.e.) it acts both as Key + I.tab Now, a skeleton structure for all the Infotypes declared as INFOTYPES will be created. GET PERNR This line will process the entire records for the particular PERNR using the combination of I.types.
55

Begin & End Date T#3!

56

 GET

PERNR

This will make all infotype records to be imported to I.tab Pnnnn. Example
Import to P0006 : All recs of Infotype 0006

Logical Database LDB
67

Types of LDBs in HR
In

Human Resources (HR), the following logical databases can be used as a data source for HR Info Sets: PNP PNPCE PCH PAP
68

Introduction on LDB
Facilitates

the process of reading database tables It combines + compares contents of certain DB Tables

HR Personnel Administration
This has PNP/PNPCE as its LDB

69

Attributes of LDB

70

PNP

HR master data (Infotypes 0000 to 0999). Best suited for selecting persons.

Generate Reports based on position that an employee occupies using

73

 Question

Can an employee designated as concurrently employed person can have several simultaneous personnel assignments at the company.

PNP with Concurrent Employment.

Understanding PNPCE
Solution

Assign a special PERNR for each Contract

How?
