Process Flow of Mass Updating Individual Numbers

  1. Using the report Individual Number Management, you select and download those records of the infotype 3386 that remain to be updated as a CSV file.

  2. You update the records in the CSV file manually.

  3. Using the report Mass Update Individual Number Data, you upload the edited CSV file to mass update the records in the system.

Using Report Mass Update Individual Number Data

To access this report on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Human Resources Next navigation step Personnel Management Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step Info System Next navigation step Reports Next navigation step Administration Japan Next navigation step Personnel Administration Next navigation step Mass Update Individual Number Data End of the navigation path.

To run the report Mass Update Individual Number Data, in the Upload File field, you enter the directory path of the CSV file that you have downloaded with the report Individual Number Management. In the Display Variant field, you can predetermine the layout of the output list to be generated. Note that if you are running the report for the first time, predetermining the layout is not possible. First, you have to save a layout on the output screen after you run the report. Then this layout becomes available for selection in the input help of the Display Variant field.

After you choose the Execute button, the report does the following:

  1. Reads the CSV file.

  2. Parses the CSV file and converts the data in the file into an internal table, which has the same format as infotype 3386. During conversion, the following takes place:

    • The report reads the data in a column into the corresponding field of infotype 3386.

    • The value of the field FLAG3 is used as an operation flag as follows:

      1 = Delete, 2 = Create, 3 = Update, 4 = Delimit

    • The program checks the validity of the data in the CSV file.

      Invalid data is excluded from the output list and an error message appears.

  3. Displays the data of the internal table using SAP List Viewer.

    If the Display Identity Information checkbox on the selection screen is selected, the identity information is displayed.

    If the Unmask Individual Number checkbox on the selection screen is selected, the program checks if you have the authorization to view individual numbers. If it turns out that you do not have the authorization, the Individual Number column displays asterisks (************).

    If you choose the Display Error Detail button, a popup window appears, displaying the errors that the program detected from the CSV file.

    If the Skip ALV List (Direct Update) checkbox on the selection screen is selected, the program updates the database against the CSV file immediately without displaying the output list first.

  4. Saves the selected records into the database after you choose the Save button.

    If you choose the Display Error Detail button, a popup window appears, displaying the errors that occur while saving data into the database.
