Adding New Fields for Infotype in HR

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I want to add a new field to an Infotype 442 in HR module.

Can you guide me how to carry out this work and the subsequent coding for it to make the values saved in Database.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jack,

<u><b>steps</b></u>

1-> goto transaction PM01

2->enter 0442 in infotype field

3->click on 4th tab page (Single scrn)

4->choose radio button "customer include"->it will take you to se11, where you enter the required new field and activate the structure->navigate back to PM01

5->click on the "include screen" radio button, where you position the new field in the subscreen (0200)->activate->navigate back to PM01

6->click on radio button "Module pool", if you wanted to add some specefic validation logic here-> it will take you to SBAP editor->do the changes navigate back.

You are done.

<b>If you dont want to put any validations, you dont require to create module pool includes to save the new field data <b>(means you can skip the step 6);</b> it will be automatically saved to database, because when you alter the structure, this will automatically add the field length of the total screen fields.</b>

Hope this helps,

Hi Sajan,

I carried out the enhancement work for Infotype 442.

But the entries in the field does not get saved in Database.

Moreover the enhancement I can see in Sandbox but not in DEV.

Could you please come up with a solution.

Thanks & Regards,

Jack.

Hi Jack,

If you have done the enhancement properly i was wondering why data is not getting saved in database!

1..were you able to see the changes to the field structure in database table?

2..did you transport the changes done from sandbox system to the dev system? i hope you were doing the changes in the sandbox system.

Please check..
