How to use the BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE BAPI

[Former Member]

I want to use the BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE using the se37 transaction.

If i use without the BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE i get the error message

Employye/applicant is not locked yet

If i use the with BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE ,then it gives me message

"make an entry in all required fields".

I just want to change the "marital status" of the person.

Now what are the required fileds i should fill for this.

Hi,

You cannot use BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE from SE37 becz you need to use bapi_commit_transaction after using the BAPI.

Hi,

You can also use BAPI_INFOTYPE_OPERATION for this purpose.

          CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
            EXPORTING
              infty         = '0002'
              number        = g_pernr  "Personnel number
              validitybegin = p_dol_dt
              record        = gt_p0015   "Record should be of type p0002 and fetch and fill all the data in existing record.
              operation     = 'MOD'
            IMPORTING
              return        = gs_return.

  

But anyhow both the FMs can not be used for testing in SE37 as it wont update any data.Instead u have to write a sample code in SE38.

Just fetch all the fields from the record you want to Modify from PA0002.

Pass it in the records importing parameter of the FM.

and for other fields just follow the code snippet i pasted in my prvious post.Tell me if any issues.

In BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE BAPI, following fields are mandatory EMPLOYEENUMBER SUBTYPE OBJECTID LOCKINDICATOR VALIDITYBEGIN VALIDITYEND RECORDNUMBER You should goto the import tab and check the optional column, if it is not ticked means the field is required field. Regards, Radhika.
