PA40 background method for personnel actions ?

[Claude Bourque]

David,

No BAPI but the following FM is used all over the place in HR:

HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.

You could use it to fill IT0000 (Actions) (dont' forget the secondary
IT0302) and then create the absence with the absence BAPI.

Hope that helps.

Claude

Thanks again Claude, just as a follow up the BAPI creates the absence OK
but do
you know of a way to create the action as well via a BAPI etc, but not by
batch
input if I can help it ?

Cheers
Dave
