Employee create using HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA

Former Member — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:38:20 GMT

Hey All,

I am trying to create a new employee using HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA and HR_INFOTYPE operation(using the no_existence_check), but am running into issues every time. Is it possible to create a new employee using this FM. Is there any other FM which can be used instead. I want to use a FM and not BDC/LSMW.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aparna

Not a good Idea to use this FM. Actions in HR are done in Info groups (chain of Infotypes). If you want to use this Fm you will have to use this FM for Chain of IT. The person can get hired but will be incomplete.

Complicated Logic

1. Create IT000 - Actions Record via FM

2. Create IT001 - Org Assignment Record via FM

3. Create IT002 - Personal Data Record via FM - Screen Changes as per country

BDC will be a better Idea. SAP has provided a tool for migration called DTT which uses BDC sessions. To use DTT is mentioned in the SAP HR Best Practices as well.

Figured it out myself. Was able to create new employees by customizing HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.

Thanks.

Hello Aparna - we are facing similar problem .Creating a new employee using HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA . We are also able to create by using custom FM. But I am wondering is there anyway we can do with out customizing ? Is your case also failing at sy-binpt field ? In our case as this is not being checked , infotype 3 is not getting filled , so it's getting failed...Is this same issue with you ?
