Question :  
I am currently running Jan 2003 payroll but because Dec 2001 records are accidentally 
'touched' eg. IT0015, the system will do a retro starting from Dec 2001 till Jan 2003.  
When some historical records are 'touched', IT0003, field 'Earliest MD change' will be 
changed to 01.12.2001. 
I will like to prevent the system from doing a retro up to Dec 2001. In another word, I 
would like the  system to run payroll for Jan 2003 only.  
Is it possible to stop the retro?  
Answer :  
In order to stop the retro, you can change the earliest retro.acc. date in the control record 
of 
your payroll area or change the earliest recalc. date in IT0003 to Jan 2003.  
Yes it is possible. Go to PA30 > enter the pernr of the employee whose retro you want to 
stop and go to > Utilities > Change Payroll Status  
Here you will get IT 0003 in a change mode. Now erase (make it blank) what ever the 
date is in Earliest MD change field. That's it.  
You have two options first is to clear the "Earliest MD change" and "Earliest MD Bonus" 
for all the affected employees that you don't want to have a retro second is the change the 
Earliest RA date for all the employee of the affected payroll area.  
For mass changes of IT0003 you can use report RPUCRR00 (see Report Description) or 
modify it to fit you requirements (as we did).  I hope it helps.  
You could also try looking at report RPUTRBK0. 
You can use this to change all date fields on IT0003. Both Time and Payroll fields.  
How to assign employees to two different company codes?  
Question :  
How to assign a personnel number to two different company codes ?  
Answer :  
I dont think it is possible.  
It should not be possible logically as well because Company is a Financially Independent 
Entity & one person can not be employed by two companies.  
One personnel number cannot be linked to several company codes.  
However, SAP has an object called 'Central Person', which is linked to one or more 
personnel numbers. 
By creating two personnel numbers (one for every company code [employment contract]) 
and linking those to the same CP-object, you're able to derive that in the end it's one 
physical person who's employed at multiple companies.  
Qualifications Catalog  
Question :  
If qualifications are maintained in Qualifications Catalog within PD, how does it get into 
infotype 24?  
Can we maintian qualifications required to do a specific job within OM using any of the 
10* infotypes?  
What are the advantages of using Qualifications in PA for an employee rather than 
maintaining it in PD?  
How does it transfer to T&E?  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
Answer :  
In table T77S0 set the PLOGI QUALI-parameter to 'A032 Q' (best guess). 
This integrates PA and the PD-qualifications.  
This makes it possible to assign Qualifications to Persons via IT0024 which are also 
stored as relationships within PD. 
Better is to use transaction PPPM if you want to assign Qualifications to 
Persons/Positions/Jobs via PD. [one transaction for defining all possible profiles]. 
In the background this creates a 1001-infotype.  
Using Qualifications has many advantages since SAP has a lot of standard reports for 
profile matchups, identifying missing qualifications.  
Furthermore to make it even more fancy, you can create relationships between Business 
Even Types and Qualifications.  
If a person has a missing qualification, then SAP comes up with a training proposal. 
After following a specific event of that B.E.T., SAP automatically assigns the 
qualification to the person.  
It would be better to use the PD profile for this as it best resides here. 
It will also make comparisons of Position/Job requirements against ee qualification 
easier.  
You will need to set the switch so that even if u call IT24, it will 'flip' to PD Profiles.

Do you know in OM -> copy plan version? Would copy plan version 
(Tcode:RE_RHCOPL00) also copying payroll RT, PA master data, user 
authorizations, Abap reporting, Abap queries and etc as well? Up to my 
understanding it should work only copy the OM's structure and objects (solely)... 
However for the rest of non OM/PD objects related and other HR modules, I have 
doubt on it. If this can be done, please advice HOW to go with? 
This report is only for copying objects from one planversion to another planversion to 
keep updated structures.. ..Always only one plan version would be active which is 
current.... This report does not help to copy any masterdata.. .

What actually happens in real time Recruitment? 
Real Time in the sence of SAP or IT or Domain. You should have asked him the 
question, Ok it should be SAP for interview For SAP Consultant.  Any company wants a 
sophisticated Work to be done and with more useful and accurate result even after 
spending more and more on EPR, So SAP Recruitment helps to Rect people of the client 
to get the exact people for not only their experiance , with also Educatonal , Exp, Skills, 
Past experiance and all reqd areas with out enering all the data of the requirement.  
As in normal people has to sit on the requirement of he position and then shorlist all the 
applications, it also helps to know the internal employees to call for intvs and the best 
way of shorlisting is going for Profile Match Ups, and reruitment is useful for integration 
with all other modules for PD, PY also for relevant reports and up gradations.   
Even rect modules will be able to send the recruiter a POP up saying the Position is 
vacant and it should be filled with requirement.  
I got struck in PB10 initial entry screen.  While assigning personnel officer by 
default its showing the standard one like APPL's admin group only. Its now 
accepting what I have created under PA define admin group and I assigned under 
define admn group also (PINCH).  
Once you assign your administrator group under PINCH, please check whether you 
activated or not and also check your groupings.  
Dynamic Action 
Here, you control the initiation of actions when maintaining an infotype record. This can 
be the maintenance of an additional infotype record or performing a routine. For each 
action, you can determine whether it is always carried out when 
you change an infotype or a subtype or whether it is only carried out if you change 
certain fields. 
You can state whether the action is to be carried out for "Change", "Create" and/or 
"Delete" record. You can store the conditions for executing the action, for example, the 
comparison of the old and new value of a field. Finally, you can also specify default 
values for a record that is to be created.  
Automatic Triggering/Populati ng of Infotypes When Certain nfotypes are Dynamically 
Maintained, Table = T5558Z   
I am facing problem in PA40. While entering the inputs in Personal data in hiring 
action, I am having the field which is called " CUIL/ CUIT" ( Which it shows key 
field) . I do not know about this field and how to enter the data in this field. I would 
like to remove this field from personnel data. IIIly i am having one more field in 
Bank details in hiring action, I am having the field " Bank Key " I would like to 
know how to delete/ remove this field from the action, or else how to input the data 
in this  field.  
I don't know how to remove this field. But I can suggest you can hide this field by using 
the following path. Not only this you can hide any field in your screens.   
SPRO-->personnel management-- >personnel administration- ->change 
screen modifications; HERE  
Mod.pool---- ------ MP000200 
Screen ------------ 2000 
Feature----- ------- P0002 
Variable key----- 29 
Alt.screen-- -------2029 
Next screen------ 0  
Then execute details, in 011 -- Q0002-CCUIL -- Worker identification code -- activate 
Hide checkbox. 
You can use screen modifications and hide the field. after you hide it and save the 
settings, CCUIL will not be seen on the screen. Same procedure can be used for bank key 
too. for your information, the various field options are required field, optional field, hide 
etc.  
Which time we have to consider while login time  
1) swiping machine recorded time  
2) System login time. 
If an company is going for both the systems, first the company want to decided to go for  
swapping card system or system log in time, if you required the both, then you discuss 
with the time administrator to design for both, as per the company requirement the time 
administrator will decided.

Q.  I just wanted to know that when I am recruiting some body, I am generating his 
personal no also. Then I want to give him a training also. Now I just want to create 2 
scenarios to clear my doubts. 
1--How to create a time schedule for 1 day training where when the breaks, working 
hours does not coincide with the training time and the person is also booked . 
2--How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the training time and 
the person is not booked.   What are the steps in time management, so that I can 
understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not 
booked.  
A.  No need of time management. while creating an event you will be creating time 
schedule in the box select user defined where you can define different timings for 
different days with intwervals like weeks , months for this just select multiple.  
Q.  I need to ask you that while I am trying to book one person in training for a 
business event type, they are saying that this person is not available for the business 
event. Why is it so? But that I can book a user for the same business event type. 
What is the differense between user and person? Now in case if I book a person for 
the business event, how can I see whether that person is available for that date or 
not.  Moreover how can I see that that person is on leave or not.  
A.  Create a new calendar in time mgt. with open days.means without any holidays and 
assign it in trng and evnt mgt. and remove time integration. To check for an employee 
leave or not just pa20 infotype 2001.(absence)  
Q.  About time managemnet.  Now I am trying to book person, but I have to see 
whether this person is on leave or what about the break schedule so that I can give 
training. For this purpose I am starting again. I am recruiting 2 person,  generating 
2 personnal no, then prepare the infotype about time and create 2 scenarios to see 
that in 1 case the person is booked for training (because time schedule is not 
coinciding wiith the training period) and I want to create another scenario where I  
can see the person cannot be booked (time period coincides with the training period 
of only 1 day.) What are the steps of time management about both the scenarios.  
A.  For checking whether the person who is going on leave or who has gone on leave, to 
find out just got to pa20 and enter infotype 2001 absence where you will be checking 
whether this guy is on leave or not.  If he is ill go onleave so the data will be stored in this 
infotype.  
Q. There is 1 person but its displaying that this person cannot be booked.  He is not 
available for the business event. Can you tell me where is it going wrong? What can 
be the reasons?  
A.  You should be able to book for all persons but it showing only for one person means 
you need to check infotype 2001 and his workschedule.  If it showing for all the persons, 
just follow as below: 
Create a calendar with open days means without any holidays and assign in Training and 
Event Management --> Basic Settings --> Controling days off --> Specify Factory 
Calendar in this thru drill down/check box select the calendar which you have created in 
time mangement without any holidays and try out if again.  If it shows the same message 
then remove time integration.  
Q.  I have a certain group of employees who have vacation exceptions. The company 
does not want to create additional PSA/PA to enable me to put them in their own 
PSA Grouping for time quota types. Can I use IT2012 to bring in the exception hrs 
and then add this value to their accrual as defined in config. Because of this they will 
accrue vacation time at a higher rate.  Is this possible? Combining config settings 
and schema to accrue leave.  If I could put them in their own separate PSA grouping 
for time quota types it would be easy for me as I would not permit generation of 
quota during time eval.   And then do this in the schema. Any suggestions?  
A.  Schemas allows you to move, delete, copy and insert lines in line 
editorcommands.here you can enter the commands and entered in the area used forthe 
line numbers. You can overwrite any of the numbers with the commnds. Sub-shemas are 
called by the copy commnad.  
Q.  I just wanted to know that when I am recruiting some body, I am generating his 
personal no also. Then I want to give him a training also. Now I just want to create 2 
scenarios to clear my doubts. 
1--How to create a time schedule for 1 day training where when the breaks, working 
hours does not coincide with the training time and the person is also booked . 
2--How to create another time schedule that is coinciding with the training time and 
the person is not booked.  Show me the steps in time management, so that i can 
understand by both the scenarios why a person is booked and when he is not booked  
A.  If you want the know the working hours for checking this just goto pa20 select 
personnel number then selet for 0007 infotype. Click display and then click for  
workschedule icon which is available on top.  You will find the work timings on the day 
you require just select and thru chek box you can find his timings.  
Q.  What is a BSP application?  
A.  BSP (Business Server Pages) in the new dimension in SAP where by webapplication 
can be built. BSP uses HTML for the presenation and ABAP for the business logic. As an 
option there is also the Java flavour using JSP.BSP applications are far better than the old 
IAC's (Internet applicationcomponents) deliverd vide the ITS where the display format is 
kind of fixed.In SAP HR the new appriasal system used BSP.Well this is only basic 
information. You may wish to use the MBS (WASversion) to try and developed a simple 
application using BSP.  
BSP is a set of pages that represent a user interface (layout and page flow definition). The 
layout part of a page normally contains ABAP or JavaScript code which is inserted into 
the HTML structure. They can contain server-side scripting code in either JavaScript or 
ABAP.  BSP applications use all the conventional ABAP technologies, such as Open 
SQL and internal tables, allowing developers to create Web pages quickly. This enables 
existing SAP logic, data structures, and interfaces to be directly used in Web applications.  
Q.  What are the difference between : Retroactive Accounting Period, Earliest 
Retroactive Accounting Period!  
A. Retroactive Acc Period: The retroactive accounting period refers either to an 
individual employee or to a payroll area.  The earliest possible retroactive accounting 
period is specified for a payrollarea. The system also takes into consideration the 
employee's initial entrydate.  
Earliest Retroactive Acc'g Period: The period furthest back in the past for which it is still 
possible toperform a retroactive accounting run. This means that retroactive accounting 
takes place for a period for which payroll has already been performed.  
There is usually an error log attached to HRBEN0001 - any hints here?  
I have Plans with different Validity Dates. None of them is being displayed for New 
Enrollment in HRBEN0001. The default open enrollment period is not active, I turned it 
off. The employee in the employee grouping is eligible and set in the Features. I am not 
able to move further in testing because I am stuck up at this point.  
We are having the same problem with having plans displayed as we are upgrading from 
3.1I to 4.6C in the near future.  I've set up adjustment reasons, etc. and cannot see a plan 
thru enrollment.  
Referring to table V_74HB_A via SM30, what do you do in SM30 when you call up that 
table?  Is there someway to activate this or does something have to be transported?  
Thanks for your help,  
These are the steps I was using to setup benefits in 4.6c: 
-define the eligibility rules for plans, go to IMG  Personnel Admin --> Benefits --> 
Flexible Admin --> Programs --> Employee Eligibility Define eligibility rules 
- define a 'benefit program' per payroll area, go to IMG  Personnel Mgt --> Benefits --> 
Flexible Admin --> Programs --> Define benefit programs 
- define which plans are valid per benefit adjustment reason (i.e. open enrollment, new 
hires).  Go to IMG  Personnel Admin --> Benefits --> Flexible Admin --> Benefit 
adjustment reasons --> Define adjustment permissions.  To validate the benefit  
adjustment reason config, you may execute IMG program Personnel Admin --> Benefits  
--> Flexible Admin --> Benefit adjustment reasons --> Define adjustment permissions 
Overview adjustment permissions.  This will give you an overview of plans allowed per  
adjustment reason. (Transaction HRBEN0055). 
- execute HRBEN0001 to test  
I do recall when I set up benefits on 4.6C that some features did not generate properly 
and thre me for a llop because I knew everything was configured that needed to be - if 
you are in a development environment, try running RPUMKG00 wide open.  
You create the permitted plan types by benefit category (medical, insurance, etc) for each 
adjustment reason/adj grouping, then choose the allowable operations for the adj reason. 
You then save and transport your configuration to your test client (depending on your 
specific environment) for testing. 
______________________________________________________________________-- 
Can anybody tell me how we can  give our own personnel number range 
which should accept the numbers as personnel numbers within that defined 
range?? 
  
transaction - pe04 
or IMG - personal management - personal administration- basic settings - Maintain 
number range intervals for personnel numbers 
 
Maintain number range intervals for personnel numbers 
In this step, you define the number range(s) for personnel number assignment. 
 
You have two basic options: 
 
Internal number assignment 
In this case, the SAP System assigns the personnel numbers. 
External number assignment 
In this case, the user assigns the personnel numbers. 
Recommendation 
 
SAP recommends that you opt for internal number assignment. 
 
Because you can use matchcodes to search for HR master records, according to any selection 
criteria you wish, you do not need to use "mnemonic" personnel numbers. This has the added 
advantage that you cannot lose track of the "mnemonic" character of a personnel number if  
transfers or transports take place. 
 
Activities 
 
Define the number intervals for your number ranges. 
 
Additional Information 
 
Check-digit procedure 
 
If you want to implement a check-digit procedure when personnel numbers are assigned, you will  
have to customize the standard system. You will find information on how to doe this in the program 
documentation for "MP000000" (module pool for the infotype Actions (0000)). 
 
Further notes  
 
The number range intervals are not linked to the automatic recording of customizing changes. You 
must transport all the changes that are made during the maintenance of number range intervals 
manually. 
 
To do this, choose Interval -> Transport on the initial number range interval maintenance screen. 
 
Please read the information that you receive when transporting number range intervals. 
 
 
From number 
The 'from number' is the lower limit of an interval. 
 
Use 
For internal intervals, the 'from number' is the first number to be assigned. 
 
For external intervals, it is the lower limit. 
 
Dependencies 
External intervals can only contain either letters or numbers, as sorting can differ between 
platforms (Code page): 
 
 
Allowed:  000001 to 999999  
  AAAAAA to ZZZZZZ  
  
Not allowed:  AAAAAA to 999999 
What is permissibility check? What it is? Wage type permissibility?  
There are two things here.  
1. Permissibility of WT for infotypes---This is for permitting your WT as input in the concerned IT. Look into 
table V_T512Z  
2. Permissibility of WT for EE subgrouping and PSA.---This for permitting your WT for the ESG and PSA. 
Look into table V_511_B  
Wage type permissibilty is more or less a part of wage type tool for configuring wage types.  
The Wage Type Tool is a method of quickly and easily configuring wage types in your system.  
It consists of a series of eight wizards. These wizards are step-by-step, question-and-answer-driven screen 
entries that replace and simplify the previous configuration procedures. You can:  
* View all the characteristics of a model wage type (for example, eligibility, valuation etc.) 
* Select the individual wage type(s) you wish to copy 
* Set the basic configurations for the wage type  
The wage type tool will help you to:  
* Reduce implementation costs 
* Simplify and shorten the implementation process 
* Decrease training needed for end users  
To start the Wage Type Tool, enter the transaction hrwtt00main in the SAP Easy Access screen.  
The system displays the tool with a list of wizards and step-by-step, on-screen instructions. 
Number ranges 
You have two options:  
Internal number assignment which the SAP System assigns the personnel numbers.  
External number assignment which the user assigns the personnel numbers.  
To set the Personnel Numbers range :-  
IMG - Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Basic Settings  
-> PA04 - Maintain number range intervals for personnel numbers  
-> PE03 - Determine defaults for number ranges  
For e.g. 
01 - External 
02  Internal.

Employee area/sub area 
Employe Group - The employee group subdivides employees into various categories 
For e.g. 
1. External 
2. Active 
3. Pensioner  
Employee Subgroup - Employees are differentiated further within the employee group. Active employees are 
differentiated according to their status - trainee, hourly wage or salaried employee etc.  
The employee subgroup grouping for the Personnel Calculation Rule allows you to define different payroll 
procedures for different employee subgroups, for e.g. you can specify whether an employee pay should be 
accounted on an hourly or monthly basis.
