HI there Ali,
Try TCodes SWEHR2 (SAP) to see how it is configured by SAP and then use
SWEHR3 to configure your own. Basically you can code a FM that can be
invoked and an InfoType is updated, inserted, deleted, etc...
You can then put your own logic to raise an event of your choice.
Hope this helps.

Re: Triggering an event based on a custom HR infotype field
Hello Joe,
Thanks for the reply. How would I monitor a specific change for a field in
the HR infotype in "real-time?" I need to read a date for all the subtypes
in that infotype and if that date is one month from system date for any of
the subtypes, i need to keep sending reminders until that record is either
changed or a new record is inserted in the infotype. Also, How would i
specify the event that a specific change is done and not just any change
to the record. For example is it possible to say that the date is changed
and then do a check that the date is changed to specific value.
I never linked HR Infotypes with events so i'm not sure how that can be
done.
Thanks a lot.
Ali
