<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Folks,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm involved with a project to implement
Personnel Change Requests - basically Manager Self Service (MSS). We run
our HR-system on SAP R/3 Enterprise and Netweaver 04. Some portal-functionality
is already available for special payments and we would like to follow a
similar approach for these types of changes:<br>
- Change in Position ("functional" where the position stays as
is or "regular" where the employee moves to another position)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Change in Job-ID/Pay/Grade/Working
time</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Converting from conditional to regular
employment status</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Terminating or Leave the company</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are currently in the design-phase
of the project and are trying to put the various bits and pieces together.
One of those pieces obviously involves workflows which should be triggered
from the notifications generated by the portal-requests. I've already searched
various places (SDN, PCR-cookbooks...) but so far couldn't find any information
about how to actually handle the updates to the Personnel- and PD-Org-tables.
Most of the documentation seems to imply that a person eg. an HR-admin
will do these updates directly in the system with information provided
in the work-item. Our goal is to have these updates done automatically
in the background, triggered from workflows.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Looking at how involved a "simple"
change like "leave the company" actually is when done via transaction
PA40, I have some doubts, whether this can be triggered from Workfow and
the updates then done automatically without putting the data-integrity
at risk. I did find information about function modules </font><font size=2 face="Arial">HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
and </font><font size=2 face="Arial">HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA but these seem
to be for updates to one Infotype at any one time only - so we'd still
have to make sure to call them multiple times in the proper sequence if
more than one IT needs updating.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Another aspect is, that most - if not
all - of the employee-related changes will also include PD-Org-changes,
if only to delimit corresponding org-assignements.I haven't yet been able
to find any BAPIs and/or Function modules for these types of changes.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Could you please give me some pointers
of where else I can search for information and/or examples? Is what we
have in mind feasible at all? Has it been done before?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks much and Cheers</font>
