Additional Actions

Hello,

I have read all the threads on Additional Actions IT0302. I still have one query -

We have few actions which can be run on the same day and planning to use Additional Actions IT0302. I have activated IT0302 and in table T529A, have checked the box for U0302 for all personnel action types.

My question is whether all the personnel action types (even those which do not change the status) should have a checkmark for the box U0000 too? I mean can few actions be only set as additional actions if there is no status change.

IMG documentation mentions -

''Note that in the Actions infoytype (0000), only one personnel action type is saved per day. In this infotype, you only store the personnel action types that change the status of the employee.

Note that personnel action types that are only used to process several infotypes in an infogroup should not be stored in the Actions infotype (0000). SAP recommends that you log personnel action types such as these automatically using the Additional Actions infotype (0302).''

We have some actions which do not change the status (STAT2) like change in pay, job change etc. So should these actions be stored only in Additional Actions (0302) even if there is only one action carried on one day? I am confused, please let me know the standard practise.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think SAP help doc emhasizes that actions that act as only data entry should not be recorded as actions.

E.g. you can create an action to record some additional data of employee consisting of more than one infotype at one shot in order to make sure that none of the infotypes are ignored. This type of actions may only be recorded in IT0302.

However, change in pay, organizational change, etc are such actions that are important for the employees work history in the company although they donot alter employment status.

I sharply advise you to determine this type of personnel actions that are of importance for employees work history in the company and make these actions be recorded in IT0000 even if they donot cause any status change.

Hi,

what I normally do is that all 'organizational/pay - related' actions are stored in IT0000 and IT0302. In other words, if an action has an effect on IT0001 and/or IT0008, record the action in IT0000.

For all other actions (to 'smoothen' the administrative proces), you are free to determine wheter to store in IT0302 or not.

This can easily be answered by asking the organization the following question "Do you want to report on such 'actions'?".

If the answer is yes, store in IT0302 if answer is no, don't store in IT0302.

Although this is not a golden rule, it has always prove to be very usefull and most of the times these guidelines have held.

Hi,

Its fine to check 0000 as well as 0302, so that whenever a non-status impacting action is executed it will be saved in 0000 as well as 0302 as long as there is no other action present in 0000 on the same day. On the other hand, if a status impacting action is executed, it will push the non-status impacting action into 0302 (if there exists one on the same day).

Hi,

It is up to you. Normally select both 0000 and 0302. This is normal practise.

However, if you prefer to have actions that do not change status in IT 0302 it will not be a problem too.

Cheers!
