Hi vijay,

1. HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

It is just a wrapper function module

Inside, it finally uses

HR_MAINTIAN_MASTERDATA only.

(HR_MAINTIAN_MASTERDATA does the real work)

2. HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

This FM Does some small extra things viz.

a) check for infotype existence

b) check the particular record

If not found, then operation = INS (Insert)

(This kind of facility is not available in

HR_MAINTIAN_MASTERDATA )

3. SAP Recommends to use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION .

I hope it helps.

regards,
