Personnel Actions Overlapping bcoz of backdated Actions

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a serious problem here while running Personnel Actions in SAP. In our company People responsible for running 'Transfer' & 'Promotion' actions are different & execute their responsibilities independantly of each other.

Many of the times they run these actions back dated.

Example:

Mr. A responsible for running 'Transfers' action has executed a transfer action on an Employee 'XYZ' on 10.09.2009 ( Start Date as 10.09.2009 & End Date as 31.12.9999). While running this Transfer action he has only changed Personnel Sub Area & Compensation of 'XYZ' & XYZ still continues to be in Grade 'B'.

Mr. B Responsible for running 'Promotions' action (unknowing of Mr. A's execution of Transfer action on 'XYZ' on 10.09.2009) has executed 'Promotion' action on 'XYZ' on 11.09.2009 (for Start Date as 05.09.2009) as Back Dated entry, where he has not only changed the Grade of "XYZ' to Grade 'C' from Grade 'B' but also has changed the compensation in info type 0008. Because 'XYZ' already has 'Transfer action from 10.09.2009, Promotion action got delimited from 05.09.2009 to 09.09.2009 & hence 'XYZ' Grade is again appearing as Grade 'B' from 10.09.2009, though XYZ Grade should appear as Grade 'C' as his Promotion is effective from 05.09.2009. Same happens with his Compensation in info type 0008.

Can you guys help us in solving this particular problem as some of you might have faced it.

Thanks,

Hi Rastogi,

There are certain things we need to follow while maintaining data in SAP system. Moreover it is process related issue. For my client lot of back dated actions are happening but they need to check in the system before executing any new actions. Also they need to intimate administrator regarding change details for their employees.

In this case, I feel you need to perform last action means transfer action once again to track all the changes.

Hi,

Delete the Transfer action, and delimit the performance action with end date as 31-12-9999. This is the only solution I feel so.

Thanks

Change the Actions dates which has overlapped from OVER VIEW of the record from It0000 and 00001

or use SE16 to chage or to delete the entries and make a refresh entires

but try the first option once

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

But it is not a one time problem so that i can delete the entries but all the time this problem will crop up, hence we want a global solution.

Thanks,

Than What in case of changeing the TC for those infotypes which fall under the infogroup for these actions will it suffice your requirement

change the TC 01 to 02 where there can be gaps and overlapping

first Test it and let us know
