Hai..

SAP has defined the following formats for maintaining Personal Data infotype (0002), and cannot be changed.

Format "00":

This format is used to create the sortable names (Infotype/field: P0001-SNAME). The sortable name is required for every employee/applicant list that is sorted alphabetically by name.

NOTE: The SNAME (for example, GRECCO DAVID ) does not have to be reformatted every time. Identical and therefore redundant copies of the name are stored in every record of the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001). The record with the most recent valid start date is always used for formatting purposes.

Format "01":

This format is used to create the formatted names (Infotype/field: P0001-ENAME). The formatted name is displayed on the screen of Personal Data infotype (0002). The formatted name is used in employee/applicant lists, correspondence, online, and so on.

NOTE: The ENAME (for example, Dr. David Grecco) does not have to be reformatted every time. Identical and therefore redundant copies of the name are stored in every record in the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001). The record with the most recent valid start date is always used for formatting purposes.

Example

When maintaining the Personal Data infotype (0002), you want to use a format to display the title, first name, and last name of an employee/applicant in that order. Because some of your employees do not want their titles used, you also want the format to include an option of displaying only the first and last name.

To do so, proceed as follows:

Format Prefix ID SubNo. Field Conv.

01 0002 00 01 TITEL

01 0002 00 02 VORNA

01 0002 00 03 NACHNA

01 0002 10 01 VORNA

01 0002 10 02 NACHNA

The key "01" must be used for the format since this format key is preset for name formatting when maintaining data for the Personal Data infotype (0002).

By using the prefix, you can specify that the format applies to the Personal Data infotype (0002). If you specify two indicators ("00" and "10"), you can create two different name formats for the format. Use the indicator "00" for the standard name format. If you do not make any entries in the Special format field in the Personal Data infotype (0002),m indicator "00" is used as a default. If you want to use another name format, enter the appropriate indicator for name formatting (in this case "10") in the Special format field.

Hi Ananth,

Our problem is that we need to modify the header in the overall PA30 screen . Not just in the infotype.

I.E. if in the Main header my name is being displayed as Sana Auti we wanted to be changed as Auti Sana in the overall Header of PA30. We were able to do it in the infotype headers.

Thanks a lot!

please look at this SAP help

The following header IDs have been assigned:

00 - Initial screen of transactions PA20, PA30, PA51 and PA61

PB20, PB30, etc

here screen header "00" is for your pa30

suppose if your table values in table V_T588I is

00 A 06

Then position header modif "06" in T588J

Change the value as per your need

check the header modifier for screen header "00" in table V_T588I

suppose if the HEader modifier assigned is 01

Open the table T588J

do the changes to Vorna NAchn fields respectively

Hi Anantha,

Thank you for your quick reply.

But the solution you have given to me is for changing the Infotype headers.

But i want the name format displayed in the field "name" in the PA30 main screen.

Thank you very much

for eg, press f1 in screen header field

01 - Infotype 0002 - Personal Data

04 - All infotypes of Time Management

here 01 represents header for 0002 infotype

likewise 00 represents header for PA30 screen

Hi. If you want to change the main name display format, go into PA30 and enter the personnel number. Go to infotype 0002 (personal data). Change the value next to "Name Format" to the format you would like to use. Save your changes. If there isn't an existing format set up the way that you like, you can create a new one using the IMG. Let me know if you need instructions for that. I hope this helps.

Hi April King,

Thank you for reply.

Yes i have already created the Name Format and made config in IMG. It works when i change the data in the personal data by selecting the Name Format.

But in our client system there no field called Name Format (This feild is hidden).

And also in the PA30 main screen name is picked from the "SNAME" feild..!

So any solution for this...!

You solutions works only if in PA30 screen filed the name is picked from the feild 'ENAME' but not 'SNAME'..!

Regards

Vijay
