Definition

The backend service SAP_PA (Personnel Administration infotype) is based on the use of so-called info objects. These are infotypes that can be restricted/specified further by entering a subtype and an object identification.

Use

Info objects of the backend service SAP_PA are used in form scenarios. They represent the relationship between form fields and infotype fields. Each info object can be assigned an operation that is used on the infotypes at the runtime of the form scenario.

The infotype fields are available using so-called screen structures. The form fields are linked to the infotype fields using these screen structures.

Dependencies

Each info object can only be used exactly once in a form scenario. Therefore, only one operation can be defined for an info object.

When defining the info objects, you should always be aware of their time constraints as these can affect the operations used. Info objects with time constraint 1 and 2 are usually no problem. However, there are restrictions for info objects with time constraint 3.

Example

The notation below [infotype, subtype, object identification] is used for the specification of an info object.

[0002, space, space] - Personal Data

[0006, space, space] - Address

[0006, 1, space] - Permanent Residence

[0006, 2, space] - Temporary Residence

[0021, 1, space] - Spouse

[0279, N001, 01] - Individual values for product 01 (= "Retirement Scheme") of the pension fund N001
