SAP HR FAQ
SAP HR Frequently Asked Question
Q: Where can I find any SAP HR Books for reference?
A: There is one SAP HR books written which
can bought from Amazon :
The book title is : Administering
SAP R/3: HR - Human Resources Module
Q: I have some other Human Resource question, where can I asked it?
A: Well, consider joining a Human Resource forum.
Q: We are in the service industry and have employees
working in multiple cities on the same day. The system seems to allow
one taxing authority
per day. But the taxing authority needs to be picked up from the Service
Order ideally . Can we
achieve this?
A: You can create multiple infotypes 0208 (work tax area) for the same
employee and the same day. Use the 'allocation
percent' field . There is no integration however
between time management and the work tax area. You may copy infotype
0208 to IT 9208. Infotype 0208 may be used
to store the default work tax area and IT 9208 may be used to store the
multiple work tax area. Create IT 9208 based
on data from your external time management system.
Q: We use clocking machine for recording employee
clock-in/out . All the data is stored in a 'flat' file which is supposed
to be
uploaded into SAP. When
tried to open and read the flat file using OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET
commands,
the Sy-subrc value returned
is 8 and the error message 'the specified file not found' is displayed.
We checked the path and
the file is in the correct
location. What is missing?
A: Check the path once again. Check the upper and lower cases. Define
you parameter file name like filename-fileextern.
Depending on the place where the flat file resides,
the procedure varies. OPEN DATASET is used for upload of file from
the host system. If your flat (text) file is on
the PC, you can use the function WS_UPLOAD which will upload your text
file
into an internal table. This internal table data
can be loaded into SAP. The syntax is as follows:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = pcfile
IMPORTING
FILELENGTH = fileleng
TABLES
DATA_TAB = internal table name
Please note that you have to specify the pcfile
of length 128.
Q: 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 maybe copied and manipulated and then copied back in to the active
plan.
Q: 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.
Q: We have multiple ORGs as we have many subsidiaries
of our Parent company. These subsidiaries are defined as ORG and
are assigned an
ORG-ID. Within each ORG, we have Divisions (e.g. Human Resources, Finance,
Materials etc.) and
within 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?
A: You have to consider how the company wants to see its reports while
designing the HR organizational structure in PD. 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.
Q: How can we configure the options for the Assgn
Form. No. field on Infotype 210. It is the alternate formula to assign
tax
field and we have been
unable to locate the table in the IMG to edit the options.
A: Options for the BSI Tax Formula can not be configured.
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).
Q: We are using the US HR/PAYROLL module. We are
able to create the entry to credit the accrued payroll account. But
our check writing process
does not produce any accounting entries when we create a pay check or run
our EFT
process(RFFOUS_T). Should
RFFOUS_C produce an accounting entry to debit the payroll payable account
and credit
the cash account ?
A: RFFOCUS_C does not produce any accounting entries. During the FI/CO
interface run , 559 wage types may be posted
to your cash account
Q: We 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.
Q: We are using the PAI user exit in MP000800
screen 2000 to modify the BET01 field. After modifying the value, the value
is not re displayed.
However the updated value is saved on commit. Why the value is not displayed
after modification?
A: Yes. It is True. You may have to apply OSS .
