Transfer Custom OM Infotype data through ALE for HRMD_ABA Message type

[Former Member]

Hello Folks,

I have created a Custom OM Infotype.When i run the PFAL transaction. All the standard infotype data is getting filled, but i dont see custom infotype data getting filled.

Example: HRP9001 is the custom infotype.

Please let me know the step by step process to populate the Custom infotype data in ALE Transfer.

Thanks & Regards,

I think function module RH_MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE_HRMD shows some odd behaviour. It calls EDI_DOCTYPS_OF_MESTYP, which returns the name of the extension in an internal table named "doctyps". But later on, function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called with a structure "f_idoc_control". In this structure, the field "cimtyp" should hold the name of the extension, but it NEVER gets filled, although the value is present in doctyps-cimtyp.

So what I have done, is to activate userexit #004, which is called just before MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE and modifies structure f_idoc_control, if desired.

Call transaction CMOD and create a project in a non-SAP namespace: Zxxxx. The enhancement we need is "RHALE001" (HR-CA: Enhancement for ALE functionality in HR). One of its components is EXIT_SAPLRHA0_004, which consists of include ZXHALU08. In this include I called EDI_DOCTYPS_OF_MESTYP again to fill f_idoc_control-cimtyp.

Here is my code for include ZXHALU08

DATA: z_doctyps TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF edidocs WITH HEADER LINE.

CALL FUNCTION 'EDI_DOCTYPS_OF_MESTYP'
  EXPORTING
    mestyp         = f_idoc_control-mestyp
  TABLES
    doctyps        = z_doctyps
  EXCEPTIONS
    invalid_mestyp = 1
    OTHERS         = 2.

IF sy-subrc = 0.
  LOOP AT z_doctyps.
    f_idoc_control-cimtyp = z_doctyps-cimtyp.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

Hope this helps

Dear Nishanth,

All you need to know it is in note 105148 "HR-CA-ALE: Additional infotypes for distribution". All the functionality described in this note is valid for all releases and not only for 46C as mentionned. If you need further details, please let me know.

Also please do not forget to update table T777D with custom segment ZP9001.

Regards

Christine
