Different entry screens are delivered for some infotypes. Depending on the transaction class ("A" for employee, "B" for applicant) or the country grouping, a different screen can be used.
In addition to this, you can also change the characteristics of the individual screen fields: For example, you can define fields as required-entry fields or suppress any fields that are not required.
You may want to suppress field attributes in accordance with certain employee control data.

Example

  • You want to suppress the field Foreman's area in the infotype Organizational assignment (0001) and make the field Administrator HR master data into a required-entry field.

Requirements

In the view "Screen assignment", a single screen and a list layout is assigned to every infotype.

Standard settings

These alternative screens are already preset by SAP depending on
transaction class and country grouping.

Activities

  • Screen modification is identical for all employees or all applicants.
    • Find the entry for the current screen. If necessary, create a new entry for the screen. The variable key must be empty when you do this.
    • On the detail screen, determine which fields are to be modified.
  • Screen modification depends on the organizational assignment of the employee or on the infotype's subtype.
    • Find the entry for the current screen. If necessary, create a new entry for the screen. The variable key must always be empty for the first entry when you do this - this is the basic entry.
    • Assign the name of a feature. The naming convention is "Pnnnn", where "nnnn" is the number of the infotype.
    • Maintain the feature.
      Use the structure "PME04", all fields are allowed.
    • Make a new entry per return value of the feature. By doing this, you include the return value in the variable key.
    • Assign the number of an alternative screen, if applicable.
    • Determine the screen modification on the detail screen.
    • If you do not enter a return value of the feature, the entry for which the variable key is empty, i.e. the basic entry, is valid.
  • An alternative screen should be used.
    • Determine a basic entry as above and predefine the feature Pnnnn.
    • Determine the variable key by using the feature and in accordance with the transaction class, country grouping etc..
    • Make a new entry for the variable key.
    • Assign the number of the alternative screen.
    • The screen modification in the detail screen now applies to the alternative screen.
