Changes in V_T588M_ESS not reflecting in ESS

Hi Gurus,

am facing a problem.

Implementing My SAP ERP 2004 ESS BP

First of all, any changes to SSN are not reflecting in R3. Infact when i try to change an existing value it is removing the SSN value altogether. Typical problem.

Second any changes I make table V_T588M_ESS are not reflecting in ESS. I tried to hide the middle name in personal information. Went to table V_T588M_ESS function group EH05. There were no entries. Created entries with standard screen 0200 used the variant P0002. Copied this entry with variable key '10' that is returned by P002. Changed the property of middle name to 'Hidden'. This change is not reflecting in ESS.

Any inputs ar highly appreciated.

regards

Sam
