BOR - How to instantiate EMPLOYEEI, EMPLOYEESU, ABSENCE, etc

Thu Jun 28 20:00:13 EDT 2007

Hi Jocelyn,

I am not an ABAP-er...I used to be an SAP HR Functional Consultant that 
got so frustrated with a Workflow Consultant that kept telling me that 
things couldn't be done that I decided to learn Workflow (that was at 
Westpac!) - and here I am - 6 years later, still learning Workflow!

With the assistance of your OO Blogs, I have already built 2 classes that 
I am using in my workflows. 

SAP delivers several classes for HR e.g. CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_0019 but I 
couldn't figure out how to 'use' this class either - hence we built a BOR 
for it. I really don't know why I haven't been able to instantiate any of 
the standard delivered SAP BOR that has the key attributes:
Personnel number 
Subtype 
Object ID 
Lock indicator 
To 
>From 
Record number 

I must be doing something really silly.

I might build the class for it instead, but I am still curious as to why i 
can't instantiate the SAP standard BOR...

Any other ideas are more than welcomed!

Cheers

Cristiana

Well Cristina, If you are on ECC 6.0  how about... ditching the BOR 
altogether and creating ABAP OO classess instead of BOR object types.  You 
can then call HR_READ_INFOTYPE or the equivalent BAPI where available 
(e.g. BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA, BAPI_EMPLCOMM_GETDETAILEDLIST) from your 
class, completely control whether HR Structural authorisation is used or 
not, and not have to deal with a whole heap of historical red herrings 
from EMPLOYEET and BUS1065. 

Cristina I know you are an ABAP-er - read my blogs on ABAP OO for Workflow 
and you will find it is very simple to put a class together quickly. 

Regards,
Jocelyn

Hello Jocelyn, 

I changed it as you suggested, logged out, logged on again and still get 
the message 'Object does not exist'. 

We are on ECC 6.0 

Any other ideas? My new object was created by copying from EMPLOYEESU 
(just like we did at Dept of Housing - gee that was sooooo long ago!) - I 
generated the object, saved, refreshed buffers, the works. 

Cheers,

Cristiana

Cristina, Check HR structural authorizations aren't killing you.  Put 
yourself in table T77UA with profile ALL.

Hi all, 

i am sure this is something silly that I might be forgetting to do... 

Several of the HR Objects have the following key: 
Personnel number 
Subtype 
Object ID 
Lock indicator 
To 
>From 
Record number 

I have created a new object type to represent Infotype 0019 and set the 
key as above. I checked table PA0019 and entered the appropriated values 
in the attributes when I tried to Create Instance via SWO1. 

I am in SWO1 and trying to 'test' the new object type but not getting 
anywhere. I then tried to instantiate the SAP delivered ones (i.e. 
EMPLOYEEI, EMPLOYEESU, ABSENCE) and getting nowhere as well. 

Any ideas on what I might be missing? 

Sorry if this is a silly question & thanks for any help! 

Cheers

Cristiana
