1.1.4 Processing Form Scenario for Infotypes
(Service SAP_PA) 
Use
In this sublesson you configure the SAP_PA back-end service for form scenario ZTFS.
You make the following settings:
● You define the operation that runs when the form data is sent to the back-end system.
● You define the assignment of form scenario fields to infotype fields of the SAP_PA back-end service.
Operations
You use operations to define how the form data is processed in the back-end system.
Operations are not defined directly on infotypes. Back-end services are based on what are known as InfoObjects. An InfoObject is an infotype that can be restricted by a subtype and object identification.
Example of an InfoObject
InfoObject |
Description |
||
Infotype |
Subtype |
Object ID |
|
0006 |
1 |
<BLANK> |
Permanent residence |
You always enter an operation if you want to modify the InfoObject on the database. The SAP_PA back-end service enables data records of Personnel Administration infotypes to be created, changed, and deleted.
Assigning Form Fields
If you want to run the Create, Change, Delete, or Change Without Delimiting operations on the InfoObjects, you must provide the data for the new data records to be created. You do this by assigning form fields to InfoObjects. Access to the InfoObjects is enabled by screen structures. At least one screen structure exists for each infotype.
If the infotype is country-specific, more than one screen structure exists.
You cannot make assignments to more than one screen structure.
Each screen structure contains all infotype fields that are relevant for the user interface. These can be input fields or output fields (for example, for related texts or calculated fields).
