How to hire new employee (BAPI, BDC, IDoc/ALE...???)

[Former Member]

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I was asked to create an interface that would "hire employee" and I failed to find nice function module that would do that.

Could you, please, share your ideas/experience about how to solve this?

Best regards

Hello Maros,

Hiring an employee can be done using PA40 for single entry and PA70 for Fast/Batch entry. Use recorder in SM35 to record entering an employee then generate a BDC program from this recording.

Hi

Transaction code <b>"PA40"</b> is OK to handle "Actions" about the personnel for isolated entries.

However if you want to use BDC for bulk data transfer, then use <b>"PA30"</b> to record your transaction and build your BDC data. That's because handling <b>"PA40"</b> screen is somehow less suitable since it depends on customizations and is out of screen if there are too much action types.

To trigger an action through <b>"PA30"</b> is achieved by entering "<b>0000"</b> to the infotype field and the <b>action type value ("massn")</b> for the subtype field and pressing <b>"Create"</b> button. This will be better for BDC.

<b><u>About the BAPI:</u></b>

I didn't try before but you may use the Business Object <b>"HRMasterDataReplica"</b>. It has one class method as <b>"SaveReplicaMultiple"</b> which has an import parameter <b>"EmployeePersonnelAction"</b> for the infotype 0000, <b>"EmployeeOrgAssignment</b>" for the infotype 0001 and

<b>"EmployeePersonalData</b>" for the infotype 0002.

In addition to standard BAPI parameters, at least these three parameters must be filled to create an employee. To trigger other actions you can use the one for "0000".

I would like to learn whether you tried this and achieved. <i>However, it will be the most classical way to use BDC</i>.

Thank you gents very much for all the hints. I have done BDC for PA40 (which worked out much better that PA42 I tried before), but I think I will try also BDC for PA30 and methods from BObj you noticed.

Thank you very much again

Hi Serdar,

I would be glad to give you some points, but when I click on the yellow star in the header it seemed only points I have received (what a surprise) were displayed.

And also I do not know how the question can be marked solved.

Hi Momkic

The yellow star I mentioned is at the header of each post within the posts frame near the icon "Reply". If you mark some post to be the post that solved your problem, tour thread becomes "solved".

However your thread is not marked as to be a question thread. To change it to a question you may edit your first post I think to mark the option to make the thread as question. But I do not know whether it lets you give points.

If it is something not to be so important forget it...

Thanks...

It may be too late, but have you ever tried IRS-MD1?

that's not common way although it can be it.
