Usage of HRUS_D2 to maintain substitutes - still viable in SRM ?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Sue, That's not true. HRUS_D2 is definitely your option for SRM as there
position-based substitution is generally not relevant to SRM (no A210
infotype).

?

Hello all,

It's been -suggested- to me that in SRM 5.0, the maintenance of
substitutes via HRUS_D2 is not 
wholly functional 'cause EBP differs from that'.

I've noticed that maintaining substitutes via the web front-end doesn't
allow you to 'back-date' 
them, nor does the web front-end tell you if this was tried, and
unsuccessful.  And we have always 
relied on the ability to back-date and maintain substitutions centrally
for users who 'forget' to 
set up their substitutions via a maintenance dialog on HRUS_D2 - even in
our EBP 3.5 Production System.

Can anyone confirm or deny for me that HRUS_D2 is no longer a valid way
to store/maintain 
substitutes ?  It's my understanding  (from this list) that this is
*one* table that SAP does not 
mind if you maintain.

Thanks,
Sue

PS:  FYI... I've tested HRUS_D2 substitutes using standard functions,
such as RH_SUBSTITUTES_GET and 
SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTES_GET... and these functions can 'find' the
substitutes.  It's only 
SAP_WAPI_RESERVE_WORKITEM that seems to have a problem.

And please, no need to ask me to raise a customer message, as that's how
I got this issue in the 
first place.
