Selecting Human Resource Data 

This section explains how to access employee data in the Human Resource Management System. We will show you how to select data directly and how to use the various menus.

A large amount of data in the Human Resource Management System is stored in infotypes. To access employee data, you must enter the employee’s personnel number and the infotype whose data records need to be maintained.

You can access personnel numbers even if you do not know them by using the Search Help for Personnel Numbers .

After you have found the employee you require, you can access the infotype records that are available as follows:

Each infotype has both a name and a number. If you know either of these, you can enter it in the Infotype field.

· Selecting an infotype using the infotype menu

The Human Resource Management System contains a number of infotype menus that group infotypes together by subject matter. For example:

- Basic personal data

- Basic contract data.

- Planning data

- Time management data.

You can use the menu for a particular area within Human Resources to access the infotype that you want to maintain.

· Selecting an infotype using a generic or masked text search

The system can also create dynamic menus for you. If you enter a search term in the Infotype field, the system displays a selection menu listing all of the infotypes whose name includes the search term.

The personnel file is a reference tool that you can use to view all of the infotype records stored in the system for a particular employee.
