Definition

With customer-specific message segments, you can include in the normal HCM processing a special FORM routine (user exit) for retrieving, editing or updating segment-related data.

For incoming messages, this routine is run prior to the data being transferred into the original SAP structures. The writing of the incoming data to the IS-H database is also based on this routine. As long as no additional fields need to be processed, all actions can be performed with this user exit (compare with the ADDFIELDS exit below).

The name of the FORM routine and that of the FORM routine pool in which the routine can be found must also be specified for the segment attributes. Afterwards, you must regenerate the customer structures.

Note that if only the ADDFIELDS FORM exists, you need only specify the incoming pool. If both exits are to be used, they must both be implemented in the same program.
