Definition

Defines how the backend service SAP_PA (Personnel Administration infotypes) determines the default values for the form fields.

Use

The following three specifications can be used to determine default values:

  1. Value for Effective Date
  2. Value for Day Before Effective Date
  3. Default value of business logic

You should use default values of type 1 if the field is an input field on the form. The Change operation is usually assigned to the field (or the associated infotype), that is, an existing data record has been changed on the effective date (delimiting of the existing data record and creation of a new one). In this way, the value of the existing data record is displayed as the default value for the data record change on the effective date.

You should use default values of type 2 if the field is an output field on the form. The purpose of the field is to display the previous (old) status. For example, two fields could be defined in the form for a transfer: one field to display the previous position and another field to enter the new position. You would use type 2 to display the previous position, and type 1 for the default value for the new position.

You should use default values of type 3 for fields that are part of a Create operation. In this case, there are usually no data records available, which means that type 1 and 2 cannot be used.

Dependencies

Default values of type 1 and 2 are calculated depending on the specified effective date.

For the default values to be determined using the backend service, the default type Default Value for Specified Backend Service must be set in the form field (when defining the form scenario) and the corresponding backend service sequence number must be specified.
