HR Data mapping

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've already done some research on it and have complied the list of fields( eg. table name and description, data type, character length, etc.) for Data mapping that will be required to transfer data from Legacy to SAP system.

However, I'm looking for more inputs from all the experts out there!

Thanks!

Hai..

U can acheive this with the help of screen program in SE80.

SE80 is a ABAP workbench, doesn that mean ABAPer can change the length of the data field to any number and data type to Numeric/alpha/ alpha-numeric as per the client requirement using this tcode? If so, then this resolves my querry! Please confirm.

Hai..

Is there a way where we can check it in SAP?

U can get details with the help of SE80

Thanks for the response Ram. I found out in the form it has something to do with creating info objects and I believe ABAPer does that, they define the character length and data type. Do you guys concur?

hai

if u want to kow the info ABT CHAR in feilds in sap some chars are predefined like name etc

if u come to know abt the customization of an infotype u will kow it

Legacy to SAP system.

means u need to know what are the table names and feilds

of the infotypes as u need to store the data when u transfer it in the infotypes

well, not really the details of it.Just the heading since I'm only making the template for now.What fields/data elements I would need is client specific so, I'm not looking for that.Meanwhile if,you can also tell me how do we determine the data type and character length of a data element? eg: In Table PA0002-> field VORNA(First Name) has a data type CHAR and character length is 40...but how do we conclude this? Is there a way where we can check it in SAP? I tried playing around tables/IT's but couldn't find this info.

Any help will be appreciated.

Many thanks!
