Use

In this IMG activity, you make the settings to enable country-specific applications in the Personal Information area to be reused.

Caution:

Perform the steps in the activity in the sequence in which they appear. Note that if you execute this activity, you will reuse existing country-specific applications. You should be aware of this before making any changes to existing applications.

If you want to create a new country-specific application, carry out the steps in the specified sequence:

  1. Assign Screen Structure to Infotype Versions

Identify the country-specific application that is best suited to be copied and adapted as your new country-specific application. Note in particular whether the screen structure and user interface suit your requirements and whether you can adapt the screen structure to your application logic.

In this step, you specify the screen structure for your country-specific application. The name of the structure is listed in the V_T588IT_SCREEN view. This view contains the country-specific structures. Copy the name and the type of the required structure.

For more information, see the SAP Library: HR Tools ->Developing an Infotype in Personnel Administration -> UI Programming Guidelines for Infotypes -> Assigning Conversion Classes to Screen Structure.

  1. Define Active Subtypes and Use Case

The table contains, for the relevant country version, the infotypes, active subtypes, and use case for the Personal Information area. Enter the required country version. You can specify for each infotype which subtypes are active and can be changed by your employees. In addition, you can define the use case for each infotype or subtype.

As a default, employees are permitted to create records with a future valid-from date only for the Addresses infotype (0006).

Recommendation:

We advise you to leave the standard entries for the ESS scenarios unchanged.

  1. Define Country-Specific Applications

You then define your country-specific application using the functions of the Self-Services Homepage. Enter the service key and the resource of your application.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide for the Self-Services Homepage and choose Services -> Define Country-Specific Services.

Example

For the country version for Russia, you want to create a country-specific application in which employees can change their personal data. You want to use the application for Germany as a basis for your new application. Perform the following steps:

  1. In the V_T588IT_SCREEN view, find the entry for the application Personal Data Germany for infotype 0002 (Personal Data) and screen version DE (Germany). Copy the name of the screen structure (in the example: HCMT_BPS_PA_DE_R0002).

    Choose the V_T7XSSREUSEISN view for country version 33 (Russia) and enter the infotype 0002. Enter the screen structure name (in the example: HCMT_BPS_PA_DE_R0002) and type (in the example: MAIN).

  2. Choose the Define Active Subtypes and Use Case activity. Enter the required values for the subtype and use case for the required entry (in the example: infotype 0002, country version 33).
  3. Choose the Define Country-Specific Applications activity. Create a new entry for the country version for Russia and copy the service key and the resource of the entry from the country version for Germany.
