Modification Concept for Personnel Calculation Schemas

Use

Personnel calculation schemas are subdivided into standard schemas and customer schemas. Respective name ranges are not used to differentiate between standard and customer schemas. Standard schemas are client-independent, which means that they are visible in all clients. Customer schemas are client-dependent, which means that are only visible in the relevant customer clients.

You can create your own schemas or change existing schemas to adjust them to individual requirements. The modification concept describes the effects that result from the differentiation in standard and customer schemas for the processing of schemas.

Scope of Functions

SAP Standard Client

Only standard schemas are available. Each schema available in the SAP standard client is thus a standard schema, irrespective of the schema name. You can only change standard schemas in standard clients. You should only make changes to standard schemas if there are exceptions.

Non-Standard Clients

In this case, there are standard and customer schemas. A standard schema is only visible until you change this schema. The system then saves the changed schema as a customer schema even if you do not change the name of the schema. For this reason, you cannot change a standard schema in these clients. You only make changes to a customer schema.

As a standard, the system shows the customer schema if there is a standard and a customer schema of the same name. If you want to display the standard schema instead of the customer schema, in the graphical display of the source text, choose Schema ® Display ® Standard schemas only.

The changes that you make to a schema always only apply for the client in which you are currently working.

You can only recreate a schema under a particular name if no standard schema with this name already exists.

You can delete an existing customer schema irrespective of the fact that a standard schema of the same name exists. After you have deleted the customer schema, you can see the standard schema of the same name in this client. You cannot delete a standard schema.

Activities

Standard schemas can change with each new release of the standard system. This does not initially affect customer schemas. However, it is important that you document your changes so that you can make changes to standard schemas in your customer schemas, if necessary. If you want to compare a standard schema and a customer schema for any differences, the Comparison Function of the editor for personnel calculation schemas is available for this purpose.
