sending custom fields using IDOC

Former Member — Tue, 04 May 2010 07:48:58 GMT

Hi All,

We have a requirement to send some HR data in our HR System to PI system and we are planning to use IDOC.

we have 3 scenarios

1.Full Initial Load

2.Delta Loads

3.Custom fields for example there is no infotype that stores the manager id of an employee so we need to write some logic to get the manager name of an employee and send it to IDOC.

Please let me know the steps in handling the above mentioned 3 different scenarios

Thanks

1.Full Initial Load

- Use PFAL for Initital Load with message type HRMD_A

2.Delta Loads

- User Change pointers, Execute RBDMIDOC with HRMD_A, check if change pointers are getting stored in BDCP/BDCP2 table

3.Custom fields for example there is no infotype that stores the manager id of an employee so we need to write some logic to get the manager name of an employee and send it to IDOC.

-Dont think any custom coding is required here, Extend the IDOC structure and maintain T777d table with corresponding custom IDOC segment, last one I am not 100% sure but it should work, pls check.
