HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA - Missing Action Reason (MASSG)

[Former Member]

Hi Developers,

I have a bit of an issue. I'm trying to create a new employee using FM HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA. Unfortunately, when I call the FM and enter the below listed imports, I receive the following error

IMPORTS:

PERNR ==> 00000000

MASSN ==> Z1

ACTIO ==> INS

TCLAS ==> A

BEGDA ==> 13.06.2008

ENDDA ==> 31.12.9999

OBJPS ==> Z8

SEQNR ==> 000

SPRPS

SUBTY

WERKS ==> 0001

PERSG ==> 1

PERSK ==> HH

PLANS ==> 99999999

DIALOG_MODE ==> 0

LUW_MODE ==> 1

NO_EXISTENCE_CHECK

NO_ENQUEUE

Export parameters Value

ERROR

RETURN EPG316Invalid combination of action type Z1/action reason

RETURN1 EPG 316Invalid combination of action type Z1/action reason

HR_RETURN 00000000A0000Z1 INS 00PG E316Z1

I'm confused by this because there is no where in the function module where it asks you to enter the Action Reason. When I switch dialog_mode on I am brought to the create actions screen where all of my data has been read in. The only blank field is Action Reason. When I put it in, it creates the Employee and the Number is provided. We need this number to utilize the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to continue the process of creating a new Employee (in this case, Contractor).

Question 1: Can/does HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA pass the MASSG paramater?

Question 2: If not, how hard would it be to create a custom HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA to pass the value of MASSG?

Will reward points accordingly. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can use the PROPOSED_VALUES tables parameter to pass the all the filed values to infotype 0000.

Hi Suresh,

Thank you for your fast response. I actually figured that out after doing some more research. It turns out that when i had initially tried to use it before I wasn't referencing the screen field value with the prefix (i.e P000-MASSG). It works fine now, and I will reward points accordingly as I said.

My new dilemma is, now that the FM is working, how do we enable the function Module in a Web Dynpro for ABAP application. I'm not sure how to pass the fields into the Node and Attributes that are generated from the service call to the function modules. In other words, how do we specificy all of the infotypes, fnames, fvalues and seq nos so that the pernr number is returned. We need this number in order to utilize the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.

You have to create a custom rfc wrapper inside which you will call HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA. Invoke this rfc call from the webdynpro.

Did you create a custom WebDynpro application for the hiring action?

Have a look at report RPLAPL00 to know how to pass values

to the FM ...
