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:
- You can define the fields for the selection of
an employee
- You can define the fields for the hit list: a
list of all employees who match the selection criteria
- You can define the fields for the detail
screen of the selected employee
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:
- To change the selection field, choose the
Selection fields tab page.
- To change the fields of the hitlist choose the
Output fields tab page.
- To change the fields of the detail screen,
choose the Detail output fields tab
page.
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:
- Mark a field that already exists in the tab
page and choose Insert entry in display table . The
system copies the field of the infoset before the marked
entry.
- Mark the empty field at the end of the tab
page and choose Insert entry in display table . The
system copies the field of the infoset at the end of the tab page.
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
- In certain circumstances, runtime problems can
occur, especially during data selection. In such a case, set the the
selection fields indicator in the Use default
settings for box. In this way, the use of the infoset query is
deactivated and instead you can use the BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA
method.
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.
- When you enter a country in the initial screen
for which no values have been defined, the system automatically creates an
entry that sets all indicators in the Default settings use
for box. Then you can process this entry according to your
requirements.
- In the IMG for Employee
Self-Service, you can set whether employee photos should be
displayed in the service in the
Determine User Options step.
