Documentation Maintenance 

Use

In the standard system, the Human Resources (HR) application component includes several alternative methods for reading or maintaining documentation on a particular subject. In addition to the familiar methods of documentation storage (for example, Implementation Guide (IMG), F1 Help, F4 Help, SAP Library), there is also an additional method for storing documentation on specific objects used in Human Resources. HR Documentation Maintenance enables you to display and, if required, maintain documentation on an object in a contextual environment.

The HR objects include:

– Documentation on a personnel calculation schema

– Documentation on a personnel calculation rule

– Documentation on a function

– Documentation on an operation

In Customizing, you modify a personnel calculation schema and want to read the documentation on a selected personnel calculation rule.

You place the cursor on a personnel calculation rule and display the documentation in this particular context.

Call

You access the HR Documentation Maintenance functions with transaction PDSY.

Integration

The HR Documentation Maintenance transaction (PDSY) is integrated in individual activities in Customizing. Tools used in Human Resources, for example, the schema editor and the form editor, use the HR Documentation Maintenance transaction (PDSY) to maintain the documentation for objects. Some objects that do not allow documentation maintenance can be maintained directly using the HR Documentation Maintenance transaction (PDSY).
