Q: We have this problem at work. On the org side, the new jobs are there, but when we check in infotype 1, it does not pull through. We've tried doing the updates using the LSMW and also a program, but nothing helped. We've tried to run RHINTE30, but still, it does not update infotype 1 record. The PLOGI ORGA switch is on. Where can we check or what can we do to fix this problem?
A: Hope that is to facilitate the workflow process. That is if you need the flow either upward only or downward only. Also, it may be useful in ESS, MDT/MSS for leave and attendance, appraisals, HR info of the employee and updating, etc. See the switches if it is related to jobs on the switches, not only orga textc, texto, texts switch on and try it. It will come. It won't work out only with orga.
More on [www.webnsn.com](www.webnsn.com)
Q: Where can we see the integrations switch on, is there a table?
A: Use T77s0 for PLOGI ORGA.
Q: Can you tell me how to find the UGR of a country?
A: To find User Group, Go to System -> User Profile -> Own Data -> Parameters -> UGR. IMG -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Admin -> Basic Settings -> User Parameters.
Q: How can we give absence quotas for a group of employees?
A: I know that by running the report RPTQTA00 we can give, but what customizations do we have to do in IMG?
Q: Creation of wage type
A: You can create wage type in PM -> PA -> Payroll data -> basic -> pay -> wage types -> create Wt catalogue. Wage type group. For running a payroll, you need to create payroll areas, and you need to discuss with the client about his requirement.
Q: I want the T-code of that window where it asks for the evaluation path. I want to generate the report in OM.
A: Transaction S_AHR_61016529 or program RHNAVIG0.
Q: How to find the UGR of a country?
A: An UGR would be only for users, as the name indicates, it is a User Group and is not related to a country. If you want to find the user group of a person, then you can go to: System -> User Profile -> Own Data -> Parameters. Here you can find the UGR settings for the user.
Q: Do you want to know the country grouping (molga)?
A: Then see "Mol" in System -> User Profile -> Own Data -> Parameters screen. If you are looking for Usergroup then See UGR. An UGR would be only for users, as the name indicates, it is a User Group and is not related to a country. If you want to find the user group of a person, then you can go to System -> User Profile -> Own Data -> Parameters. Here you can find the UGR settings for the user.
Q: I have to create a root organization unit in Development system. Now I want to transport the changes to Test and production system. The Transport settings in The IMG is 'X' that no transport request should be generated. So, is it advisable to change the settings to blank and then develop the transport request and arrange the settings back to normal once the transport request is generated for PPOCE.
A: If you only need to create one root object, it's simpler to do it manually in all three systems. Don't forget to check the range number in all the systems, though.
More on [www.webnsn.com](www.webnsn.com)
Q: Or is there any other way to transport the changes made in PPOCE or shall I do that manually in every system. I have to only create a Root organizational unit with the same object Id in all the systems.
A: Just find with the basis consultant; he will make it for you. Give a suggestion because generally, we release the transport request in dev. server, from there the basis consultant will transport to QAS and production server. There are so many transport requests that go to the system. So if it gets jammed, you can tell your basis consultant to restart the server. Then it will be clear.
Q: I need to execute one scenario. "Coordinators will try to book one employee for one business event, but on that day, he will be on leave," what should be the process in case I need to see that the person is not booked.
A: For checking whether the person is booked or not, go to transaction psv1.
Q: Can somebody explain to me with examples about the following terms?
- Staffing Status
- Staffing Percent
- Percentage Approved
- Percentage Reserved
A: This is regarding your 4 terminologies: Staffing status is related to "position" in OM as a vacancy, or no vacancy, or obsolete, etc. Staffing percentage is related to a particular personnel number. It's stored in Relationship table HRP1001. You can understand that some % of working time is spent in a specified position. The other 3 terminologies "percentage approved" and "percentage reserved" need to be explored.
Q: First of all, we want to tell you what we are doing step by step. After the logon process, we entered the transaction code PM01 to access "Create InfoType" screen. Then we selected the tab "SingleScrn" to generate new objects into the existing infotype. To do this, we entered "0005" as infotype no and "YU" as infotype version for Serbia. And then we just clicked on the button "Generate Objects" which exists on the right-hand side of the screen. We got the error message "HCMT_BSP_PA_YU_R0005 does not exist."
A: IT0005 is a standard IT and already exists; you cannot CREATE it. If you want to create a customer infotype, it has to start with 9*.

1) I am running Indian payroll, wage type /130 is not generated, while it should be populated during execution of Rule IN70. Can anybody help me in solving the problem?
Ans) Check if the HRA, conveyance, and other exemptions are being calculated in. The payroll run; they would move into this wage type and not your custom Wage types. The calculation of these exemptions depends on several other settings.
2) What are dynamic actions and how to configure it?
Ans) Dynamic actions are performed automatically by the system, depending on certain conditions. If maintaining one infotype has an effect on another infotype, the system automatically displays the second infotype for processing.
Dynamic actions can run in the background, i.e., the user does not see the run on the screen.
A change in one field of an infotype might require that certain other infotypes be updated at the same time. The details can be specified as a dynamic event. It is automatically triggered by the system.
*Examples:*
The Personal Data infotype is newly created, and the Number of children field is filled. Once the record is saved, the system automatically displays the Family/Related Person (0021) infotype and the Child subtype (2) for processing. An employee is hired, and the probationary period is entered in infotype Contract Elements. Once this information is saved, the system automatically displays a record from the Monitoring of Dates (0019) infotype and the subtype Expiry of probation (1) for processing.

4) Can anybody tell me how to add the custom reports in Manager's Desktop (in SAP) about Manager's Desktop? I've tried to customize Manager's Desktop in IMG but it can't work.
Ans) Are your reports based on the HR logical database (LDB)? If so, then the customization is straightforward to pass the relevant data to the selection screens. Else you will need to pass this through a function for which you may need an ABAPer. You also need to look at the authorization issues for the reports in case it is not using an LDB.
5) Is infotype 185 country-specific? Can it be maintained for India, and will it affect the payroll if it is maintained?
Ans) We maintain subtypes in table v_t591a. Go to Tcode sm30 -> v_t591a -> Select maintain -> it will ask you for the infotype for which you want to maintain subtype; in your case, it is 0185.
6) We created an Appraisal Template, now I want to assign it with one Employee or ESG. How can I do this integration and where? What is the next step after this?
Ans) Either you can establish the relationship between the position and the Appraisal Template. Otherwise, can restrict the appraisal template based on PSA... However, there is no standard setting for restricting the Appraisal template on ESG.
7) What is knowledge transfer in SAP HR module?
Ans) Knowledge Transfer is a general terminology. It means that you disseminate the knowledge you have. Say you are teaching one module to another person. You are the giver, and the other person is the receiver of knowledge. The process is Knowledge Transfer. KT is not specific to any module.
*OR*
KT in SAP is the knowledge transferred to a reliever who is to take over your responsibilities so that he/she knows what all you have done shouldering the same responsibility. It is done to minimize the knowledge gap between the two sides and facilitate the reliever to carry on the baton from where his/her predecessor leaves. It might be in the form of transferring the soft copies, hard copies of the various documents, verbal one or a written one to make it more formal.

8) What would be basically my roles where I need to provide support or what kind of specs do I need to face. Please give some examples.
Ans) You are working in Payroll and Benefits; your role can be exactly defined after seeing what your Business is doing. Are you processing payroll through SAP, or are you processing through a third party and downloading through SAP? In payroll, mostly you will get the issue of authorization, and check which all infotypes are going to affect while running the payroll. Any issue occurs, you need to check the infotypes and while downloading check the fields and verify the data, check the program and wage types also, whether they are maintained properly, etc.
9) Can anybody give some examples of tickets in OM, PA.? What are the tickets you will get in the support project, please provide me with a solution?
Ans) If any issue, the user raises the ticket. Suppose in OM, the org tree is not visible and in PA updating of master records, wage type permissibility, or any issue. Relating to the same. If you have any payroll download happening, that gets affected due to this infotype. We need to look into it as an urgent matter.
10) I am trying to assign an employee on the system to ESS user profile and the message I get is personnel number 00000001 does not exist. [When this employee has a full record on the system and is an active employee] What am I doing wrong?
Ans) IT 0185 can be used for India payroll. This is for PAN no, gratuity.
This will not affect payroll.
*OR*
We maintain subtypes in table v_t591a. Go to Tcode sm30 -> v_t591a -> select maintain -> it will ask you for the infotype for which you want to maintain subtype maintain -> in your case, it is 0185.
*OR*
Check his Infotype 105 and see if there is a valid record for the employee.

My SAP HR Certification Experience
I went through my HR Certification in November. The examination is for 3 hours for 80 questions.
There are 3 types of questions:
1. Questions with one answer
2. Questions with multiple answers/more than one answer
3. Questions with more than one answer along with Yes/No options for each option.
The total exam is divided into different sections i.e., HR essentials, OM, PA, Payroll, TM, Reports, Authorizations, etc. It cannot be expected how many questions will come in each section.
Regarding the type of questions, some of them are direct questions, but most are scenario-based and logical. You do not need to concentrate on table names and their usage and navigations.
Suggestion: Be careful while reading the question, and read the question at least three times along with the options because you will have plenty of time to answer the questions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have passed the SAP-HR certification exam. Here are my inputs for those who are interested in taking the exam.
There are 80 multiple-choice questions.
There are 9 units, and questions are asked on each unit according to the weightage specified in the exam format like +,++, or +++ respectively. For example, when I took the exam, there were around 11 questions on the first unit marked as ++, around 20-21 questions on the units marked as +++, and around 6-8 questions on the units marked as +.
On the last two units, i.e., the 8th unit and 9th unit, only 6 questions were asked in total.
The basic format of the questions:
1. For most questions, the general format is a statement will be given (e.g., Question: The criteria for personnel subareas are as follows).
Possible answers: There are 5 statements listed below with the option of true or false, with more than one statement being true. Each statement has to be marked as true or false, and each statement carries 20% weightage. Almost 65-70 questions are based on this format, and the remaining questions had only one possible answer.
Only 4-5 questions were scenario-based questions. There will be ample time to answer the questions, so one can take their time to answer the questions.
After taking the exam, I felt that the test is on conceptual clarity. So if one is clear about the concepts, then they can clear the exam.
They DO NOT ASK THE IMG PATHS, so there is no need to memorize them.
