Definition

Two-character alphanumeric key that steers the behavior of the Self-Service user interface for Personal Information.

Use

The use of the key is specified per infotype and per country; if that infotype has subtypes then it is specified per subtype also.

The first character of the key is the validity indicator. This indicates whether an employee is exposed to date handling in ESS Personal Information scenarios.

A: A record can be created specifying the valid start and/or end date Multiple records can exist.. By default the ESS scenario's will allow you specify the start date as today or future date. If you wish to enable ESS scenario's to accept a start date in the past, Business Add-in "HRXSS_PER_BEGDA" can be implemented.

For more information, please refer to IMG activity "Change Default Start Date".

B: A record can be created without specifying the valid start and/or end date. Multiple records are not possible.

The second character of the key indicates other UI behaviors for a specific infotype/subtype as described below:

B1: One infotype record must exist for the entire period of an employee's activity in the enterprise. Once a record for an infotype/subtype is available "New <infotype/subtype>" button will not be available on the overview screen of the concerned scenario.
