Entry Date 00.00.0000 in MSS reports

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

When i try to execute standard mss reports, for ex Entries/Leaving Date, or service anniversaries the entry field is 00.00.0000. But if i execute the report via gui (Manager desktop) then the entry field would filled by correct value. Can somebody help me ? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

you need to maintain the feature and on how the reports are run

You need to implement the note 562031 instructions in the system as this is not part of standard delivery, Please apply it

and verify in your test system it will work

ie

Currently, the system operates as follows: The modules for the

determination of the respective date (HR_ENTRY_DATE and HR_LEAVING_DATE)

are called up with the key date and not with the start and end date of

the personnel action within which the key date exists. If HR_ENTRY_DATE

doesn't find an entry date on given key date it returns 00.00.0000. This

is an expected system behaviour.

Sometimes this system response is partially not desired, instead, you

want the system to determine the entry date and the date of leaving with

the start and end date of the personnel action within which the key date

exists during a key date selection. Therefore, the attached note 562031

was released. If you would like to change the system operation implement

the note 562031 accordingly.

Additionaly, take into consideration, that you could use a key date

selection at Person Selection Period (instead of Data Selection Period).

This could likely be helpful in your case. Consider different selectioncriteria

Hi,

Thank you for the valuable response, how ever none of the note mention something about mss. From my understanding all the note is intended for backend, and our backend (gui/ecc 6.0) is working fine with all the report, the problem only occur when we try to run the report trough MSS. Thank you.

MSS report "Entries/Leavings" is based on query Fluctuations (user

group /SAPQUERY/H2) in the backend.

note 508026 (HR_LEAVING_DATE and query) explains the reasons for this

issue to occur.

The system behaviour was changed with notes

315227 (Query: Entry date and leaving date calculated) and note

561514 (Query: Entry date with key dateselection)

The system behaviour was changed with notes 315227 and 561514 for

determination of the 'Entry date' and 'Date of leaving' fields in the

query during a key date selection.

Please read through the consulting note 508026 at first. I want to

put into your attention the following paragraph:

"Exception:

If the query is started with a key date selection, the query calls

function module HR_LEAVING_DATE with the key date and not with the start

and end date of the personnel action in which the key date exists. You

can use modification note 562031 to change this system response."

To change the system behaviour, you can use the modifications as per

note 562031. The note 562031 is a modification note and it is not

included in the standard system, so you have to implement the solution

seperately.
