Who's Who (ESS): Selection and Output (PZ01)

In this step you can change the data selection and data output fields for the Who's who service. The fields of the infoset as well as the underlying infoset Query are also available. However, note that text fields cannot be chosen for the data selection - with the exception of the Organizational unit text, Name of position and Job description fields.

You have the following options:

All the selected fields are automatically copied to the service in the chosen order, and are then available there for selection or output.

Standard Settings

The standard SAP system contains an infoset for the service. The selection and output fields are already included as default values.

Activities

1. Check whether the standard settings are sufficient for your requirements.
2. If you want to change the standard settings, proceed as follows:
a) Choose the relevant tab page, and remove the accompanying indicators in the Use default settings for box:
b) If you want to delete a default field, mark the field in the relevant tab page and choose Delete lines from display tables.
c) If you want to include another field of the infoset, mark the desired field in the Fields in infoset box, and then choose Copy entry from infoset table. You now have two options:
Make sure that the order of the fields in the tab page matches the structure of the fields in the service:

The fields of the selection screen are structured according to the following pattern (maximum 4 rows, maximum 20 fields):

1 I 2 I 3 I13 I17
4 I 5 I 6 I14 I18
7 I 8 I 9 I15 I19
10 I11 I12 I16 I20
The fields of the detail screen are structured vertically with a maximum of 20 digits, whereas the fields of the hit-list are structured left to right (maximum 20 fields).
Note: You cannot use the Employment status (P0000-STAT2) field for selection.
d) If you want to include a new field that does not exist in the infoset, you must create a new infoset. Then assign the desired field to this infoset. Then choose the new infoset in the parameter box in the infoset field. Proceed as above to include the field in the corresponding tab page.
For information on how to create infosets, refer to Human Resources Information System in the IMG in the Specify Infoset step.
Take note of the following SAP name convention for the standard infoset: /SAPQUERY/HR_XX_PA_ESS
The country key 'XX' stands for international. The infoset itself is in the global area (cross-client). You can create customer-specific areas by copying an entry that already exists. However, you must take your spaces for your customer names into account, and set the relevant country abbreviations.
Note: The Personnel number field (P0000-PERNR) must not be included in the infoset. If you want to use the personnel number, you can use field P0001-PERNR, for example.
e) In the Output fields list tab page you can define the sort sequence of the hitlist in the Sort field.
Example: You have chosen the surnames and first names as fields for the hitlist. You also want the hitlist to be sorted primarily according to the surname, and then the first names. To do this, enter 1 for the surname and 2 for the first name in the sort field.
f) At the end of your changes, choose Check display table . After the table has been successfully checked, you can choose Save to save your changes. If any errors are found during the check process, the system displays a message in the relevant line, drawing your attention to the error(s) that occurred.

Further Notes

You can switch the hitlist and detail screen to the BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA method with the Output fields list and detail output fields indicators.
Note that when you set an indicator, you limit the field selection in the respective tab pages on the interface of the method.
