What's the best way to delimit old records in infty 2012?

[former_member111748]

I have a business request to delimit old records to have a different endda for infty 2012 which has a time constraint of 'Z'. I was reading few blogs and it seems like using FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION, the delimit operation doesn't work but there's a hack where we can first delete the record and then insert it with the correct data. Anyway, I was thinking of using BDC for this work. There are only six records that need to be delimited so what's the best way to achieve this without spending a lot of time?

don't waste time. Use BDC.

Tried BDC but while recording , getting the 'Change in earliest retroactive accounting date time not possible' error. Also tried the HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION but that doesn't work as well, getting the "E PG 428 A complex application error has occurred' error. Also tried using the DEL and INS but getting the same error as with BDC. Not sure how to tackle this one, seems like a configuration of the infotype thing.

i dont know alot of HCM so if it were me, i would write a query to delete and insert...

Hello Shahrukh Bhat,

with HCM,. you need most of the time when you work with it, you have to use these FM:

• HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA
• HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

But I would recomand you to use BDC.

Select from....... into ITAB begda = endda = -..................

loop at ITAB into data(ls_data)...

Using Batchinput.

Endloop.

it's the control record you have to adjust first.

Transaction PA03.

Ask someone from payroll team to do it.

Yes, you are right. I figured that out with the functional person I am working with on this.
