In this tutorial I shall show you how to configure Actions in PA40.
The IMG steps are:
SPRO > IMG > Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Customizing Procedures > Actions
1. Define infogroups
In this step, you define the info groups that are processed when actions are carried out. This must be carried out before you proceed to the next step where you must define the work list, i.e. the info group, for every personnel action that is to be carried out.
The info groups can be defined so that they are dependent on the user group (user parameter "UGR").
If there are no entries for an info group for the user's user group or if the user has not maintained their user group, then the info group is determined using the reference user group.
In addition to this, the info group can be set up so that it is dependent on the employee's control data. You can do this by using feature Info group modifier (IGMOD).
Double Click on User Group Dependency on Menus and Info Groups
Create entries as below:
Save the entries and return back. Double Click on Info group
Create Entries as per Menus entred above:
Enter all the infotypes that needs to populate while hriirng:
The following operations are used :
COP | Copy |
DEL | Delete |
DIS | Display |
EDQ | Lock/unlock |
INS | Create |
LIS9 | Delimit |
MOD | Change |
INSS | Create for Actions is not converted to Change |
As while hiring, new record is created so INS operation is used.
Thus, Infogroups are created.
IGMOD: This is the short form for info group modifier. IGMOD is basically used if you need different kinds of info types to appear in the action sequence for the same personnel action to different employees belonging to the same UGR but to 2 different personnel areas for example. This can also be queried on Employee groups, employee subgroups, company code, personnel subarea etc.
2. Set up personnel actions
Double click on Personnel Action Types
