MSS / PCR workflows - automatic posting experiences?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Mike,
All depends what data you are talking about.  There are BAPIs for some things
e.g. infotype 105 (communication) has a bunch of nice BAPIs.  Some other HR
infotypes have pseudo-BAPI style function modules.   Others have nothing so nice - in which
case you can always call one of the HR_insert_infty function modules - but you
really need to know what you are doing to make sure you create all the relationships
correctly.
Have done the same for several PCRs but it's a case by case thing.

Hi all,
I've been asked to modify the standard Personnel Change Request workflows
(4.7/6.20) to save data in background rather than send to an administrator to
rekey.
I'd like to know if anyone has done automatic postings of PCR data and this
and could share a little of their experiences. For what it's worth, I've
identified the following basic strategy:
 
Pull out the data with ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET (thanks Jocelyn)
Post it with ???. Basic idea is simple - extend the notification object to
include one or more 'save' methods. Now I could use the sledgehammer method
and just get an HR programmer to write me a function module for creating XYZ
infotype. I would like to know if there is something available that I've
overlooked - perhaps some BAdI's not listed in the docs? The HRWPC_PCR* FM's
available all seem to be user-oriented so they don't help.
 
I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'm on the tright track as anything
HR related tends to be a bit weird and one can easily miss the obvious :-)
 
Cheers
Mike
