Hello All,

Is there a function module available that creates a new position in an organization?

I would appreciate your responses.

I would rather use the Maintain Object Transaction 'PP01'

or 'PP03'.

Hi Suresh,

I need to do it through an RFC. So I can pass in the orgUnit ID underwhich I want to create a new position and thats why I am looking for a function Module.

You need to pass the correct info to this then it will create. this is the RFC you are looking for i guess.

please let me know if you have any doubts..

Does this function return the ID of the new position created?

Hi Mark,

This function module will creat positions but will not give you the Object IDs of the created positions. YOu will have to pass the following parameters. And a successful retune code tells you that the posiiotns were created. You will hav eto look in HRP1001 either under Org Unit or job to get the psotion IDs.

ACT_ORG_OBJID 00000000 " Org Unit ID

ACT_JOB_OBJID 00000000 "Job id optional

ACT_POSITION_COUNT 00000001 "No of posns to be created

ACT_PLVAR '01'

ACT_BEGDA 12/19/2005

ACT_ENDDA 12/31/9999

ACT_ISTAT 1

Thanks Suresh,

So when I look in HRP1001, how do I know which positions are just being created?

Thanks,

suresh_datti — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 16:26:51 GMT

Hi Mark,

If you want look up directly in the system, use Transaction PP01,select the Org Unit and enter the id you passed to the function module and lcikc on relationships.. all the positions that are under the Org Unit will be shown under the 'incorporated by' relationship(B003). If you want to do it programmatically, you can do it with following SELECT statement.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

sobid type sobid,

end of itab

select sobid into table itab

from hrp1001

where otype = 'O'

and plvar = '01'

and objid = 'XXXXXXXX' "Org Unit id

and istat = 1

and rsign = 'B'

and relat = '003'

and begda = act_begda

and endda = act_endda.

endselect.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

itab will be filled with the newly created position ids.

endif.

Suresh Datti

Hi Suresh,

I have tried selecting from HRP1001 but it does not return me anything. Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

Re: Creating new position

Former Member — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 15:23:24 GMT

what is the select query you are using,

can you show the code..

Hi,

Is there a better function module to create the postions? The problem is that I need to know which position ID was created for the new position. I can search the table HRP1001 with beg and end dates but that leads to problems when I create positions with future starting dates.

Regards,

~Mark

Hi Mark,

If you problem is with the SELECT on HRP1001, pl paste the code..

Hi Mark,

You can also use the function module 'RH_OBJECT_CREATE'. Give the OTYPE = 'S' ,PLVAR = '01', BEGDA & ENDDA. The result will give you the new position id created. Lateron in PP01,Pl be sure to maintain the appropriate relationships for the newly created positions, otherwise, you will not be able to use them.

Thanks Suresh,

Is there a way to mantain the relationships in PP01 through a function call as well?

I am trying to create positions without the need to login to SAP GUI.

Thanks,

Mark
