Selection Screen (PA-PAD)

Since the required selection criteria depend on the report, you must define the scope of the selection screen.

You can do this by assigning the report to a report class.

The report class defines and determines the required selection criteria and function keys (matchcode, sort, and so on). Reports are assigned to a report class in table T599B or T599W . The customer maintains the entries in table T599B, while table T599W contains the SAP assignments. Once reports have been assigned to a class, the customer (table T599C) or SAP (table T599F) default class settings are valid.

All standard HR reports are already assigned to standard SAP report classes. SAP report classes names comply with the naming convention.

Example Example

The time evaluation report RPTIME00 is assigned to report class ___0001. In this class, only the personnel number and the matchcodes function key are permitted as selection criteria (without sorting and time specifications).

The report RPDEDTx0 (Format Payroll Results; x is the country grouping) is assigned to the report class X_M00002. The selection criteria Period determination/payroll area, Personnel number, and Payroll area are activated here. It is helpful to sort the results in this report (for example, according to personnel area, name), therefore, the function key Sort is available next to the function key Matchcodes.

End of the example.
