HCM Processes and Forms - Create multiple records of one infotype (eg 0008)

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I'm trying to create two new records in infotype 0008 (basic pay). Regarding it's time constraint 1 it should like the following:

Before

01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 2000u20AC

After

01.01.2010 - 08.11.2010 - 2000u20AC

09.11.2010 - 31.12.2010 - 2500u20AC

01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 3000u20AC

So I want to add two splits two the record. One is easy, as it's done by the SAP_PA operation. I experimented with the record indices and duplicating my fields, but it didn't work. Another idea would be to retriggerd the SAP_PA several times using scenario steps.

Can you give me a hint, by which lever multiplee splits can be achieved? Or is this not possible at all?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

In general, when all else fails and you aren't getitng updates done from SAP_PA/PD/PT as you want them to, you can ALWAYS use an Enhanced/Advanced Generic Service.

Thanks for your fast reply.

Knowing this as a fallback is comforting. I just want to ensure, that I don't apply any coding, if a task is also possible by customizing.

Another idea I had in the meantime was to execute the SAP_PA several times. Do you have any experience, if this works to create multiple records in one infotype?

Finally I could come back to this P&F puzzle and also finish it.

I solved it by adding 2 SAP_PA instances to my Form Scenario. I added the fields as LGART_1 in instance 1 and FIELD_2 in instance 2. Quite essentially was to set the BEGDA/ENDDA fields according to the splits I want to create.

As desired, my splits in IT0008 with different amounts and periods are created.
