Can't see employee photo in PA20

[Former Member]

Hello,

I've followed the directions from SAP (https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/AddEmployeePhotoonInfotype+0002) for setting up employee photos. I have been able to add a photo using OAAD and am then able in PA20 to select Extras>Display All Facsimiles to show the same in a viewer. I am unable to see it in PA20 however. I have followed instructions to make sure that table T588J, (IMG: Personnel Management --> Personnel Administration --> Customising User Interfaces --> Change Screen Header) is set up properly. Consistent with other instructions I have found I have an entry in T588J like the following...

Header Mod = 18

Line = 3

Column=75

IT=0002

Sty. = Blank

Field Name = PERNR

Fldty = PIC

I have re-generated headers. When I look at It 0002 in PA20 I see no photo.

Any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks,

Doug

Against header modifier '00" have you assigned your header modifier no.?

Go to Customising user interfaces --> change screen header --> Header modifier -- Against 00 assign your header no.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The following document has also been helpful.

I made some progress and now know that Iu2019m able to change various header modifiers to show the photo. Iu2019ve discovered that it is there but not showing. I am able to right click at the spot where the photo should be and can see the object is there but not showing the photo. Any idea why this would be happening?

Thanks,

Doug

Did you check if the photo is stored in the format of JPEG and is the same format has been assigned against the HRCOLRPHOTO in the document type? Please check this as if there is a difference between the formats the photo will not display properly.

Once done upload for one pernr and chk.

The last issue was because livelink client was storing as a tiff. Client reconfigured. Problem solved.

Thanks everyone for your help!
