In this step, you make the necessary system settings for changing standard object types and for setting up new object types.

Important!

Always consult SAP before you create new object types!!

You can make the following settings:

  • You can specify the relationship to be proposed during the authorization check (see the section entitled "Structural Authorization").
  • You can create and change external object types that are not managed in Personnel Planning and Development (for example, the object type "Person" from Personnel Administration).

    In this case, you must specify the interface program used to access these object types.

  • You can define the object type hierarchy for reporting.
  • If necessary, you can change the abbreviation used for a standard object type (e.g. "O" for organizational unit, "T" for task).

Example

If positions are required for an evaluation, then the evaluation analyzes all objects whose object type is the same as the value assigned to the semantic abbreviation "PLSTE" in parameter group "OTYPE" (in this case, "S").

  • You can define control entries for object type based transactions.

    You specify which object type (see above) is processed by each object type based transaction (PO** = menu driven infotype maintenance).

Note

You can create 2-digit, numerical object types (ranging from "01" through "99").

Activities

  1. If applicable, define the target relationship.
  2. If applicable, create external object types, and specify the program used to access these object types.
  3. Define the object type hierarchy for reporting.
  4. Only ever change the abbreviation of a standard object type if this is absolutely necessary! Always use the name ranges reserved specially for customer specific entries.
  5. If you have created new object types, you might need to change the value of the semantic abbreviation for this object type in the parameter group OTYPE.
  6. In the same way, if you need to, change the value of the semantic abbreviation of the corresponding object type based transaction in the parameter group TCODE.
