custom transaction for PA20 or PA30

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to create a custom transaction for PA20 and PA30 (PA21 or PA31), hide the SSN fields from getting displayed on the infotype screens. However I do not want to customize the PA20 or PA30. It is required to create a separate transaction and assign it for few specfic users groups not entitled to view the SSn info. How to go about it?

Thanks,

VG

Hi,

I think that u can create a variant of those transaction and those once assign to the users as u want.

tcode = SHD0 and create a Transaction Variant against the original transaction.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick turn around. I tried to go ahead with that but does not give any info where I can hide SSN Field. Can you elaborate it? Iit is new to me.

Hi,

There s no function team here. I need to figure this out. I checked on the forum and searched for in SPRO-> PA->Customizing User Interfaces->Change Screen Modifications. I could not find the relevant module pool program and the screen number entry to modify it.

It looks like userexit approach is feasible because I do not want to hide SSN fields for all the users using PA20 or PA30 screen. It is only for a specific group. In that case how can i find the user exit for this task using SMOD?

Thanks,

First check Functional team that whether its possible through config or not. If its not possible then look for user exit / Badi. Since i did not find one, i checked possibility of enhancement spot as below:

In program: FP5U0E01

Form: *&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Move SSN from storage to display field and format.
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*  -->  P_SSN     Stored SSN
*  <--  Q_SSN     Display SSN
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM SSN_PBO CHANGING P_SSN
                      Q_SSN. 

above code will be triggered from program: MP00022U

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&      Module  GET_SSN  OUTPUT
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Move format to display field and format.                             *
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
MODULE GET_SSN OUTPUT.

above code from the screen : 2010

program: MP000200

Thanks

Its not advised to create a custom transaction for PA30 or PA20 ...

All you can do is use user exit to achieve your goal.

Maintain the specific users in a custom table for whom you'll not show SSN field.

Write your coding to hide SSN field for these users.

This may help: It talks about a table where you can set up a mask.

Hi,

We are not into encrypting SSN data. Thanks Rob anyway. Is there a possibility to modify the configuration in SPRO to create a custom transaction like PA21 that does not display SSN? if not, I found this userexit ZXPADU03 (PA userexit for menu). I could not find the BADI for it. In that case I need some help with the coding here. The user exit has only two input parameters TCLAS and PERNR. Any thoughts ir ideas shall be helpful?

Thanks again,

Although the title is about encryption, they specifically talk about masking SSNs.

Or just Google V_T588M.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I was able to mask the SSN fields using V_T588M. I tried the task in the DEV client. It worked fine for PA20 and 30 screens. Then I subsequwntly reverted the changes back to its orignial status it worked fine on the infotype 2 screen. But it did not on the START of PA20/ PA30 transaction. I do not remember changing anything else. Waht am I missing here?

Also, how can tie these changes to a custom transaction say PA21 as I do not want to make changes to the main PA20 or PA30.

Any thoughts or ideas shall be really helpful.

Thanks again,
