Change in position issue

Former Member

Dear Experts,

I am able to hire a new employee on a position A.

Using Organizational reassignment Action when I try to change the employee position to some other position B the system hangs. But when I try to hire a new employee on the same position B, system does it successfully.

Can you please advise what would be the issue?

Thanks,

manish

Hi Manish,

It seems due to Org Data Inconsistency report is going under indefinite Loop and resulting hanging of system- Please check if something went wrong with table HRP1001 (Inconsistency in data) for the EE who are trying to change the Position.

Check all Objects for that Particular EE you - Relationships hisrory of EE may have some issue.

Debugging would help you to get exact Root cause.

Hope this helps.

Manish, it would also help to understand your exact scenario.

Are the changes you refer to for the same employee? Are you making them on different dates?

This is a basic scenario in SAP HCM, so if it isn't working - as Sven says - something must be wrong.

Please tell us more & I'm sure we can help.

Best wishes,

Hi Alison,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I am making the changes to the same employee and organization assignment starts on different dates compared to the hiring date.

Hi Manish,

This shouldn't happen, but the error description is a bit vague. Can you elaborate on what exactly you did in IT0001 before the system stopped?

What does "hang" mean? You get an hourglass and it's not responding, so you need to shoot it down?

In your action: IT0001 should be in there as copy, not change. Is that so?

Are the two positions in different company codes or even controlling areas?

Any worflow event triggers active on IT0001?

Kind regards

Hi Sven,

Thanks for the reply.

  • By Hang I mean I get the hour glass and its not responding.
  • IT IT0001: IT0001 is copy and not change. Anyway I am not able to reach to that infotype 0001 as the system hangs in IT 0000 only.
  • The two positions are in the same company codes and controlling area
  • I am not able to reach IT 0001, but I will check if any dynamic action is linked to this.

I will update you.

Hi Manish,

This is weird. Even if some data was queer, it still shouldn't hang like that. I guess unless you get a chance hid, you'd need to study traces or debug to get to the root of this.

I assume, even though it hangs on IT0000 screen, this is due to the data belonging to IT0001.

What happens, if you try the following:

Keep position same or put in 99999999 on IT0000 screen and then try to change it, when you come to the IT0001 screen?

Kind regards

Hi Manish,

you can't change the position directly in actions but you can assign first directly, if you want to change then you need to delimit old position in om then only you can assign new position.

Hi Kedhar,

I'd ask to differ here.

1) if you move an employee from position A to B, it is not technically required to delimit the old position abs in many cases it would be wrong from a business point of view. You only delimit, if you don't need capacity any more, i.e. no successor will be coming. Otherwise, you leave the position open as a vacancy, which can be reported on and used by recruitment and cost planning.

What you'd delimit is the relationship - but that's buil into the process if you chose the right options.

2) If config and data are in good order, you can capture a change in position in an action copying IT0001 just as well as in PPOME. If it doesn't work, sth is wrong.

Kind regards

Hi Sven,

yes you are right, I mean that need to delimit holder related to that particular position then only he can able to assign new position.

That's correct (unkess you really want the oerson to do 2 different jobs). The old holder relationship would be delimited in the process
