Hello Jaheer Hussain,

HR Programming maily deals with INFOTYPES and DATASETS.

But programming in other modules does not requires INFOTYPES and DATASETS.

and remaing programming concepts are similar for both HR-ABAP and ABAP.

hi,

to add to the above hr programming deals with evaluation paths which other module programming doesnot deal with.

hr programming is a most sensitive data compared to all the programming of the other modules why becuase..?

Hi,

The ABAP HR is an integral part of ABAP. Generally in ABAP the following are done:

1) Table development

2) Date Processin

3) Reprt developing

4) BAPIs /RFC s

5) Data base update

6) Screens development/enhancement

7) Scripts and smart forms.

😎 Function Building

9) Java connectors etc.

This is basically done through the PROGRAMMING in ABAP builder by using ABAP 4th generation languge. This may be related to any module of my SAP ERP 2004 like HR, FICO.SD,MM,CRM Etc.,

Now when it is said ABAP HR. It is the development of ABAP in the area of HR to meet the clients requirements according to the functional specifications .They may be in any area of HR like in the areas of time aspects ,pay aspects, OM aspects and Self Services like E-recruitment, ESS etc.,

Regards,

Bhaskar

Infotypes are the only way to pull current HR data from a screen in HR. Other modules only utilize screens; however, in HR the same screen can be utilized multiple times for different reasons (i.e. New Hire, Termination and Leave of Absence).

Hi,

HR is one of the Module in SAP and the programming is same as we do in other modules. The Only difference is that in HR programming we use some tables which are called Infotypes. And we make use of Datasets, Logical Databases whereas in other modules we make less use of it. HR in turn has many modules in it.

Swapna.

Hi Jaheer.

Basically,

The task of human Resource Management is to produce organizational hierarchies and relation between employees and to allow storage and administrational data.

It also mainly deals with Payroll of employees.

It deals with Infotypes in HR ABAP.

Data is stored into Infotypes.

In ABAP, Its more of overall concepts.

Data is stored into tables.

Reward points if helpfull.

Harsh.

Advanced Business Application Programming ABAP is SAP's fourth generation language. All of R/3's applications and even parts of its basic system are developed in ABAP. ABAP is used for customization and modification of SAP applications.

In HR ABAP use of select statements significantly less than in other areas of ABAP development, Logical databases have limited applications in other modules but are very useful in HR. Also, you really need to understand the infotype time constraint concept, When you cannot get the information that you need out of the logical DB look at the function modules starting with HR* and RH*. These function modules will provide you with multiple ways of accessing data to save time. Worst-case scenario, use a select statement.

Dear Jaheer,

In HR ABAP use of select statements significantly less than in other areas of ABAP development, Logical databases have limited applications in other modules but are very useful in HR. Also, you really need to understand the infotype time constraint concept since the data organization in HR is Employee-Time based, When you cannot get the information that you need out of the logical DB look at the function modules starting with HR* and RH*. These function modules will provide you with multiple ways of accessing data to save time. Worst-case scenario, use a select statement.

In addition to the LDB, HR programming also involves the use of Macros for data extraction,

The storage an access of data is different,

Authorization checks.

The Human Resources module uses a system of data grouped together called infotypes. The Human Resources module uses a system of data grouped together called infotypes. And storing bulk data like time management and Payroll data in Cluster files. HR Programming involves data extraction and manipulation from these infotypes and clusters using LDB/MACRO and function modules.

Infotypes mirror a quantity of connected data records; infotypes are identifiable through a four character numerical string .

You can save the infotypes as time-dependent to enable a retroactive evaluation of Employee data.

The infotypes appear as an entry screen for the user, through which you can maintain infotype records. Infotypes can be processed individually or in fast entry mode.

VIjay

dear jaheer,

to make it simple for u

in terms of programming wise
