HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

[Former Member]

Well I'm using the FM 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' for creating an infotype record.

Using the following sequence of FM's

BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE

HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE

The Problem is that, if PERNR is already locked, even then the FM'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' is executed. and a record is created.

So what would be the BEST PRACTICE to avoid the creation of Infotype record. when a Pernr is can't be enqueued(locked).

If a pernr is already locked , the return parameter of the function call to BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE will not be initial. It will hold an error message that impolies that the pernr could not be locked ( as it is already locked). You should check for the RETURN parameter before proceeding with the call to HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION. This way you will have the control in the Program flow.

Dear Suresh,

I am using the follwoing sequence for inserting the record in the infotype

a) BAPI_EMPLOYEE_enque

b) hr_infotype_operation

c) bapi_employee-Enque.

iam getting the same error (428) a complex error has been occured. I have found your answer suitable to to be so i have checked the retrun value before hr_infotype_ operation, i.e by putting break-point just before hr_infotype_ opeation

if i wait fro few seconds and remove the break point i can see iam not getting any error

from hr_infotype_operation function moudle.

so could you please let me know for the personnel no to get lockec i should pass any

statement like wait?? after the bap_employee_enque..

Please let me know it would be great help for me.

regards

ravi.

Can you use HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE instead of BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE? When you use the HR function module, you should get a return code other than zero and an error message if you try to enqueue a locked pernr. You can check the return code coming back from this function module and only execute HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION if it is zero. I hope this helps.
