Definition

Operations are used to define how the infotypes in the form scenario are processed. Operations are not defined directly for infotypes, but rather for so-called info objects that contain the subtype and the object ID as well as the infotype.

Use

The backend service SAP_PA (Personnel Administration infotypes) supports the following operations:

  • Create
  • Change
  • Change Without Delimiting
  • Delete

The selected operation should always be consistent with the time constraint of the info object. A differentiation is generally made between the following three time constraints:

  • Time constraint 1: Exactly one data record exists for each time constraint
  • Time constraint 2: Exactly one or no data record exists for each time constraint
  • Time constraint 3: Any number of data records exists for each time constraint.

The operation can have a different effect, depending on the time constraint of the info object. For example, the "Create" operation always creates a new data record for an info object with time constraint 3. By comparison, an existing data record is first delimited for an info object with time constraint 1 or 2.

The effectiveness of the operation, that is, the date on which the change to the info object is made, is determined by the effective date. Alternatively, you can map the start and end dates of the infotype manually to the corresponding form fields.

Example

Examples for info objects

[0002, space, space] - Basic Data Person

[0006, space, space] - Any Address

[0006, 1, space] - Main Address

[0021, 1, space] - Spouse

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