Infotypes are used to store all relevant Hr data of employees in an organization.
It is represented by a ‘4’ digit number.Eg:0000, 2001, and 1002 etc.
Infotype is a collection of logical or business related characteristics of an object. Infotypes are also called information types to enter rational related information for an employee
For eg Personnel data (0002) infotype have fields like title,first name, middle , last name,birth date, language etc
Infotype Periods:
Every infotypes has a specific validity dates (start and end dates) .The validity period allows to maintain an employee’s data history.While updating an employee’s data, the earlier data is automatically delimited.
Infotype Sub types:
Some infotypes are again separated in different groups having same nature.
For eg : Sub types of infotype address(0006) are
3-Home address
5-Mailing address etc.
There are two types of fields in an infotype .They are mandatory fields & optional fields.
A: PCR... Personnel calculation Rules Conditions that are written to the Schemas (in pay roll and TM). To edit them to meet the specific requirement of the Clients Time and Wages evaluation. CAP is Collective Agreement Provision based on which the different groups of Employees are eligible for different kinds of pay scale structures and benefits and son on. CAP is based on the following components :
1) Pay scale type

A: There are the steps to run the pay roll
a) Simulation.. to see whether everything is fine or not
b) Release Pay roll( here you are actually changing the status in the pay roll control record)
c) Start pay roll
d) Check the pay roll
e) Correction and Exit the pay roll.
A: In the pay roll log you would see the errors or through the Check tpay roll and make necessary correction in Corrections (PC00_M99_PA03_CORR).

internal table.
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST
P0001 SUBTYPE BEGDA ENDDA. - This is to get the last record from
infotype internal table to within given selection period into header of that
internal table.
RP-READ-INFOTYPE A B C D E (A –PERNR, B-infotype no,

27. One
infotype is 1004. What may be the database table of that infotype?
HRP1004: - 1000 to 1999 are Org.Management and Personnel
development. Database tables: HRP1000 to HRP1999.
28. How
do we read Time data? Procedure?
You should not load all time infotype records from the
earliest to most recent system dates into the main memory. This would quickly
lead to a memory overload, especially if a front-end time recording system is
connected to your HR system.
This is why time data should be read only for a specific
period.
Use the infotype declaration supplement MODE N to define
that the internal time infotype tables should be declared but not filled at the
GET PERNR event.
Later you can fill these tables using a statement with
selection period parameters.
Use the following report to read time data:
REPORT RPABAP05.
TABLES: PERNR.
INFOTYPES: 2001 MODE N.
GET PERNR.
RP_READ_ALL_TIME_ITY PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA. These Macros are
used to get data from Time database to infotype internal table.
LOOP AT P2001.
WRITE: / P2001-ABWTG.
ENDLOOP.
29. What
is feature?
Definition:
Features are objects in the system, which by querying
different enterprise personnel or data structure fields, determine a specific
value known as a "back value" or "result".
The back value is used to determine default values and to
control certain system processes.
Uses:
1. Features for determining default values
2. Features for controlling system processes
3. Features for controlling list displays in evaluations.
Function modules used to retrieve Values.
1. HR_FEATURE_BACKFIELD
2. HR_FEATURE_BACKTABLE
Transaction code used in Feature related.
* PE03.
30. Can
you explain what types of authorizations are there in HR?
Two types of authorizations
1 . Data authorization 2 . Person authorization A distinction is made between a person and a data authorization. The system first checks whether the user has an authorization for the employee in accordance with the criteria of organizational assignment. Employees for which the user has no authorization are not evaluated. The system then checks whether the user is authorized to process the infotypes of the specified report. A list would be meaningless if the data were not evaluated completely. 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.
Employees 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'.

31. Where are payroll results stored?
PCL2 table cluster
32. Can
you explain PCL1, PCL2, PCL3 and PCL4?
PCL1 - Time data and Employee master data
PCL2 - Payroll results
PCL3 - Applicant data
PCL4 - the change documents for HR master data and
recruitment.
32.
What is country grouping In HR?
Country Grouping
|
A unique indicator for a country that is used in the
Human Resources components of the R/3 System.
|
Use
|
In the R/3 System, the country grouping is used instead
of the country indicator because the country indicator is not always unique
(for example, more than one license plate number can exist in one country).
|
All of the country groupings that exist in the system are
stored in table T500L (Personnel Country Grouping).
|
Example
|
Country grouping 10 = USA.
|
Country grouping 22 = Japan.
|
33.
What is in-period n for-period?
In-Period: represents the current period i.e. in which
period we are doing the payroll run.
For-Period: represents the actual period of payroll
i.e, for which period we are going to run payroll.
34. What
is retroactive accounting?
The Retroactive Accounting Process
To keep this example simple, deductions for taxes, social insurance and the like are not taken into account.
Retroactive
accounting is triggered by a change to master data that affects payroll with
retroactive effect.
After the payroll has run for payroll period 06, the employee Donna Moore receives an increase in basic pay of USD 500 that is retroactively effective as of payroll period 05:
Old basic pay: USD 3000
New basic pay: USD 3500
The associated retroactive change in Infotype 0008 Basic
Pay triggers retroactive accounting in payroll period 07 for periods 05 and
06.
The system
creates new payroll results for the payroll past.
The system creates new payroll results for periods 05 (05 in 07) and 06 (06 in 07) in addition to the regular payroll result for payroll period 07 (07 in 07). However, it does not delete the original results of these periods. Instead, it provides them with different status indicators. |
35. What
are the different payroll related infotypes?
0003 - Payroll Status
0008 - Basic Pay
0025 - Appraisals
0015 - Additional Payments
0011 - External Bank Transfers
0057 - Membership Fees
0037 - Insurance

36.
What are the clusters are there in PCL2?
WPBP - Work center/Basic pay
ABC - Copulation of absence class
RT - Results table
CRT - Cumulative results table
37. How
do we read cluster RT?
Procedure
Use LDB PNP.
Use std includes to define payroll results internal
tables and structures
To read cluster directory CD by passing key CD-key
pernr-pernr using
RP-IMP-C2-CU.
RGDIR table is filled with data
Loop RGDIR.
1. Pass RX-key 1. PERNR 2. SEQNR
To read results directory RX using RP-IMP-C2-RG
macro
Now RT, CRT, ABC are filled with data.
Loop RT table and get relevant payroll data.
End loop.

Accounting Period, Earliest Retroactive Accounting Period?
A. Retroactive
Accounting Period: The retroactive accounting period refers either to an individual employee
or to a payroll area. The earliest possible retroactive accounting period is
specified for a payroll area. The system also takes into consideration the
employee’s initial entry date.
Earliest
Retroactive Accounting Period: The period furthest back in
the past for which it is still possible to perform a retroactive accounting
run. This means that retroactive accounting takes place for a period for which
payroll has already been performed.
108: I
have to create a root organization unit in Development system. Now I want to
transport the changes to Test and production system.
The Transport settings in The IMG is ‘X’ that
no transport request should be generated. So, is it advisable to
change the settings to blank and then develop the transport request
and arrange the settings back to normal once
the transport request is generated for PPOCE.
A: If you only need to create one
root object, it’s simpler to do it manually in all three systems.
Don’t forget to check the range number in all the systems,
though.
109: Or
is there any other way to transport the changes made in PPOCE or
shall I do that manually in every system. I have to only create a Root
organizational unit with same object Id in all the systems.
A: Just find with the basis consultant he will make it for
you. Give suggestion becoz generally we release the transport request
in dev. server from there the basis consultant will transport to QAS
and production server. There are so many transport request goes to
system. So if it get jam. You can tell your basis consultant to restart server.
Then it will be clear.
110: I
need to execute one scenario. “Coordinators will try to book one employee for
one business event, but on that day he will be on leave”, what should be the
process in case I need to see that the person is not booked.
A: For checking whether the person is booked or not, go to
transaction psv1.
111: We
want to make a copy of an organizational structure from one plan variant to
another. This copy should include all assignments like purchasing
groups to organizational units made in PFOM . Can we do this?
A: Make sure that the plan number is established through the IMG. (And that it is not the active plan.)
Go Human Resources -> Organizational Management Tools -> Plan version -> Copy.
It runs RHCOPL00. All or any portion of the plan may be copied and manipulated and then copied back in to the active plan.

112: We
have a requirement to calculate leave entitlement at the anniversary year not
calendar year. The leaves have both paid and unpaid components. The paid
component is based on time worked. The unpaid component is based on years of
service. Leave taken is reduced from both entitlements depending on employee’s
request. We are using a Schema based on TM04 which calls Cycles TS15, TS10.
What is th ebest way to handle this?
A: You can use field ‘DAUER’ for seniority based vacation entitlement in the VAC01->VAC99 features. Time worked is not part of the feature structure (PME03). However you may create your own source code to make a decision on any field even if it does not belong to the feature structure. Check feature VAC01.

each division we have Departments (e.g. Payroll, Labor Relations, etc.). We
plan to use Personnel Development (PD). What is that we have to consider in
this case?

You have address the question: for headcount or regulatory reports to which level does the company need to report, to the division, department, group or team level. You have to design the SAP organizational structure to support the lowest level required. Lower the more levels of detail, the more maintenance required.

Possible entries are available in BTXFORM, and they depend on the ‘tax authority’ ( BTXAUTH) and the ‘tax type’ (BTXTAXT). Use data dictionary to check existing entries. This data comes from BSI. Tax calculations are done in the
BSI programs (via RFC from the USTAX function in the payroll schema).

have approximately 10000 zip codes. We want to relate the eligibility
group to the zip code. We do not want to create 20000 eligibility groups. Which
is the best way to configure basing eligibility for HMO’s on zip codes?
A: Try to group the zip codes by the HMO’s they belong to. Then create benefit groups and programs for the unique combinations. You can create as many benefit groups as required and use the employee zipcode to select the benefit group the employee is eligible for. You may also look at user exit 2.

What is a BSP application?
A. BSP (Business Server Pages) in the new dimension in SAP
where by web application can be built. BSP uses HTML for the
presentation and ABAP for the business logic. As an option there is
also the Java flavor using JSP.BSP applications are far better than the old
IAC’s (Internet application components) delivered vide the IT’S where the
display format is kind of fixed. In SAP HR the new appraisal system used BSP. Well this
is only basic information. You may wish to use the MBS (WAS
version) to try and developed a simple application using
BSP.
BSP is a set of pages that represent a user
interface (layout and page flow definition). The layout part of a page
normally contains ABAP or JavaScript code which is inserted into the
HTML structure. They can contain server-side scripting code in either
JavaScript or ABAP. BSP applications use all the
conventional ABAP technologies, such as Open SQL and internal tables,
allowing developers to create Web pages quickly. This enables existing
SAP logic, data structures, and interfaces to be directly used in
Web applications.

2–How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the training time and the person is not booked. What are the steps in time management, so that I can understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not booked?
A. No need of time management. While creating an event you
will be creating time schedule in the box select user defined where you
can define different timings for different days with intervals like
weeks, months for this just select multiple.
123. I
need to ask you that while I am trying to book one person
in training for a business event type, they are saying that this
person is not available for the business event. Why is it so? But
that I can book a user for the same business event type. What is the
difference between user and person? Now in case if I book a
person for the business event, how can I see whether that person
is available for that date or not. Moreover how can I see that that person is
on leave or not.
A. Create a new calendar in time mgt. with open days. Means
without any holidays and assign it in trng and event mgt. and remove
time integration. To check for an employee leave or not just pa20 infotype
2001.(absence).
124.
about time management. Now I am trying to book person, but I have to see
whether this person is on leave or what about the break schedule so that I can
give training. For this purpose I am starting again. I
am recruiting 2 person, generating 2 personal no, then
prepare the infotype about time and create 2 scenarios to see that in 1
case the person is booked for training (because time schedule is not
coinciding with the training period) and I want to create another
scenario where I can see the person cannot be booked (time period coincides
with the training period of only 1 day.) What are the steps of time
management about both the scenarios?
A. For checking whether the person who is going on leave or
who has gone on leave, to find out just got to pa20 and enter infotype 2001
absence where you will be checking whether this guy is on leave or not. If he
is ill go onleave so the data will be stored in this infotype.
125.
There is 1 person but its displaying that this person cannot be booked. He is
not available for the business event. Can you tell me where
is it going wrong? What can be the reasons?
A. You should be able to book for all persons but it
showing only for one person means you need to check infotype 2001 and his work
schedule. If it showing for all the persons, just follow as below:
Create a calendar with open days means without any holidays and assign in Training and Event Management –> Basic Settings –> Controlling days off –> Specify Factory Calendar in this thru drill down/check box select the calendar which you have created in time management without any holidays and try out if again. If it shows the same message then remove time integration.

126. I have a certain group of employees who have vacation
exceptions. The company does not want to create additional PSA/PA to enable me
to put them in their own PSA Grouping for time quota types. Can I use IT2012 to
bring in the exception hrs and then add this value to their accrual as defined
in config. Because of this they will accrue vacation time at a higher rate. Is
this possible? Combining config settings and schema to accrue
leave. If I could put them in their own separate PSA
grouping for time quota types it would be easy for me as I would not
permit generation of quota during time eval. And then do this in the
schema. Any suggestions?
A. Schemas allows you to move, delete, copy and insert
lines in line editorcommands. Here you can enter the commands and entered in
the area used for the line numbers. You can overwrite any of the numbers with
the commands. Sub-schemas are called by the copy command.
126. I
just wanted to know that when I am recruiting some body, I am
generating his personal no also. Then I want to give him a training
also. Now I just want to create 2 scenarios to clear my doubts.
1–How to create a time schedule for 1 day training where when the breaks, working hours does not coincide with the training time and the person is also booked.
2–How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the training time and the person is not booked. Show me the steps in time management, so that i can understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not booked

2–How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the training time and the person is not booked. Show me the steps in time management, so that i can understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not booked
A. If you want the know the working
hours for checking this just goto pa20 select personnel number then
selet for 0007 infotype. Click display and then
click for workschedule icon which is available on top. You will find
the work timings on the day you require just select and thru chek box you can
find his timings.
127. How
to write a variable breaks. For example in a manufacturing unit 50
employees are working, all the 50 employees will not take a break at a time, so
25 people will take a break around 11:00 to 11:30 and another 25 people
will take a break around 11:30 to 12:00.
A. Variable or flexi break means if you are fixing the
break as10.00-12.00 and saying that only 30 min break then they can take a
break of 30 min at any time in between 10:00-12:00.
In config, under time managemnt and then
work schedules, go to break schedules and create two
break schedules (1) 11-1130 and the other for 1130-1200. I think each
will have its own DWS. In this case for break schedule 1,
the DWS will be 8000 and for break two it will be 8001. Create
workschedules for each and assign to the relevant group of employees. This
is the solution I could think of.
128. Is
it possible to implement hr without fico in any company? If yes, then
who will createthe company and other things
in enterprise structure. if my company is implementing only hr
without fico and in hr also only personal administration is it
possible? Actually my client querying me that weather is it possible only to
maintain the employee details as he got other accounting packages like tally.
A. It is very much possible to implement HR (PA)
without FICO. But it sounds very odd that the company wishes
to implement only HR & that too only PA. What about other modules?
If you want other modules like MM / SD you will definitely require FICO.
Utilitiwise it’s really absurd if some company only want to use HR (PA).
It is not madtadtory to have FI/CO or other module while
implementing HR but it is required to maintain the min. config while going for
the HR wherever having the integration. So the basic config such as company
code, cost Centre, Business Area, etc. may be maintained by the consultation of
FICO counter part
For the second part of your question, YOU, the HR guy,
will create minimum information in FI and maybe CO (company code, maybe cost
centers). Just create an IMG project for PA HR, and the needed basic
FICO activities will be included.
129: We
have this problem at work, on the org. side the new jobs are there but
when we check in infotype 1 it does not pull through. We’ve
tried doing the updates using the LSMW and also a programme but
nothing helped. We’ve tried to run RHINTE30 but still it does not update
infotype 1 record. The PLOGI ORGA switch is on. Where can we check or what
can we do to fix this problem
A: Hope that is to facilitate the workflow process. That is
if you need the flow either upward only or downward only. Also it may be useful
in ESS, MDT/MSSfor leave and attendance, appraisals, HR info of the employee
and updation, etc.,see the switches if it is related to jobs on the switches
not only orga textc,texto,texts switch on and try it it will come it won’t work
out onlywith orga.
130: I have to create a root organisation unit in
Development system. Now I want totransport the changes to Test and
production system. The Transport settings in The IMG is ‘X’ that
no transport request should be generated. So, is it advisable to
change the settings to blank and then develop the transport request
and arrange the settings back to normal once the transport request is
generated for PPOCE.
A: If you only need to create one root object, it’s simpler
to do it manuallly in all threesystems. Don’t forget to check the
range number in all the systems, though.
131: Or
is there any other way to transport the changes made in PPOCE or
shall I do that manually in every system. I have to only create a Root organizational
unit with same object Id in all the systems.
A: Just find with the basis consultant he will make it for
you. Give suggestion becoz generally we release the transport request
in dev. server from there the basis consultant will transport to QAS
and production server. There are so many transport request goes to system.
So if it get jam. You can tell your basis consultant to restart server. Then it
will be clear.
132: I
need to execute one scenario. “Coordinators will try to book one employee for one
business event, but on that day he will be on leave”, what should be the
process in case I need to see that the person is not booked.
A: For checking whether the person is booked or not, go to
transaction psv1
133:
Can somebody explain me with examples about the following terms?
- Staffing Status
- Staffing Percent
- Percentage Approved
- Percentage Reserved
- Staffing Status
- Staffing Percent
- Percentage Approved
- Percentage Reserved
A: This is reg your 4 terminologies staffing status is
related to “position” in OM as vacancy, or no vacancy or obsolete etcstaffing
percentage is related to a particular personnel no . It’s stored in
Relationship table HRP1001. You can understand that some % of working time is
spent in specified position. The other 3 terminologies “percentage approved and
“percentage reserved” to be explored.
133: First
of all we want to tell you what we are doing step by step. After logon process,
we entered the transaction code PM01 to access “Create InfoType” screen. Then we
selected the tab “SingleScrn” to generate new objects into
existing infotype. To do this, we entered “0005″ as infotype no and “YU” as
infotype version for Serbia. And then we just clicked on the button
“Generate Objects” which exists right hand side of the screen. We got the
error message “HCMT_BSP_PA_YU_R0005 does not exist”.
A: IT0005 is a standard IT and already exists, you cannot
CREATE it. If you want to create a customer infotype, it has to
start with 9*.

True.
26. One can use the event GET in a report without LDB attribute. (T/F).
False.
27. The last character of the LDB name denotes Application.

29. It is mandatory that for each table in the LDB hierarchy there should exist one GET statement in the report. (T/F).
False. It is not necessary.
30. What happens if a report does not contain a GET statement for a particular node of a Logical Database.
Process will transfer to the next event.
31. In a Logical Database, one can define input fields on the selection screen with Select-Options and Parameters statements.
32. Suppose a logical database program contains the following lines:
SELECT-OPTIONS CONNID FOR SPFLI-CONNID.
PARAMETERS CARRID LIKE SFLIGHT-CARRID FOR TABLE SFLIGHT.
What will be the output, for the above two statements?
Only select-options connid for spfli-carrid will be displayed on the screen.
33. Consider a report with F1S attribute, what will be the output for the following code.
Whether you will get the data from spfli and sflight or not, with corresponding tables statement,
GET SPFLI.
GET SFLIGHT.
Write:/ spfli-carrid, spfli-connid, sflight-fldate, sbook-bookid.
Yes, you will get the data from spfli and sflight.
34. Consider a report with F1S attribute, what will be the output of the following code.
Whether you will get the data from sbook or not, with corresponding tables statement.
GET SPFLI.
GET SFLIGHT.
Write:/ spfli-carrid, spfli-connid, sflight-fldate, sbook-bookid.
You cannot extract data from sbook.
35. Identify any errors in the following code and correct the same, and what will be the output.

Endselect.
Select * from spfli. Check: spfli-carrid = 'LH' and spflid-connid = '400'.
Endselect.
-Yes they will do the same task. Second Select statement takes less time and is recommended.
37. If you want to improve the response time (time to access data) Logical Databases permits you to achieve this using VIEWS.
38. Is there any upper limit (max) to the possible number of nodes in a logical database structure? If so what is the limit?
Yes, there is an upper limit for defining number of nodes in a Logical Database Structure.
Maximum nodes = 1200 / length where length = max. Length of name in the structure.

If false what types of nodes are displayed in the same columns. If true what type of nodes are not displayed in the same columns.
False. Nodes at same levels are displayed in the same columns.
40. What are the advantages of Logical Databases?
It offers an easy-to-use selection screens. You can modify the pre-generated selection screen to your needs. It offers check functions to check whether user input is complete, correct, and plausible. It offers reasonable data selections. It contains central authorization checks for data base accesses. Enhancements such as improved performance immediately apply to all report programs that use the logical database.
41. Though all the ABAP/4 Dictionary Structures that exists in the structure of the LDB, being defined in Database Program, we are defining the Dictionary Structures in the Report. What is the reason for such declaration?
By declaring so we are providing work areas for data passing between Logical Database and Report. In addition, the logical database configures the selection screen depending on the selection of database tables.
42. Is it mandatory to declare all the tables in Report by the key word tables for all the tables that exist in the structure of LDB, and are being defined in the Database part of LDB.
No, It is not mandatory to declare all tables in report.
