    HCM Processes and Forms” is a framework which can be used by customers to create customer

    business specific processes. The user Interface used by “HCM Processes and Forms” is Interactive

    Adobe by SAP. Due to License costs, usability, customer always asked for an alternative User Interface, Infact many customer did implement

    custom solution with WD ABAP interface. Now, Processes and Forms will be delivered with the additional user interface which is

    based on web dynpro ABAP technology as a standard solution as part of HCM renewal 1:0.

     

     

    New alternative is based on Web Dynpro ABAP technology

    • New Forms Design Tool
    • New Presentation Layer

     

    This is an additional user interface and would not be a replacement for existing SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe. Customers can choose the technology as per their requirement.

     

    Lets try to stack the two technologies based upon their advantages:

     

    SAP Web Dynpro ABAPSAP Interactive Forms by Adobe
    Lower Total Cost of Infrastructure (TCI)Printing – No additional effort/WSIWYG
    Leverage existing ABAP skillsStrong forms workbench

    Better translation support (i.e., 1 form for  multiple languages)

    Looks like the paper solution you are

    already familiar with (i.e., no training)

    Improved UI element capabilities like more  robust help values (F4), table object

    Supported by traditional SAP mechanisms  (e.g., notes, support packages)

     

    This can be achieved with new customisation available in HRASR_DT as shown belowCapture.PNG

    Form Type has both options available ie FPM Form for WD ABAP and Adobe form well for Adobe.

    This is currently in Ramp up and would be available by Q3 2012. More information can be obtained from here www.service.sap.com/rampup

     

    In order to execute processes based on FPM WD ABAP forms, please use the WD ABAP application ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE_OVP and the application

    configuration ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE_OVP_CFG. Also in launch pad set Application Alias=START_EMPLOYEE.

     

    -  SAP NOTE 1805346 Old Applications dont support Web Dynpro UI based processes

     

     

    PS : Please note i havent explained what can be done with new WD ABAP based Processes and Forms, this is just a snapshot.

    Till EHP4 We used Homepage customisation and little tweaking of servcies to make available ESS for countries which had no standard SAP delivery.

    The following steps were encapsulated in the blog

    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/How+to+Reuse+Country+specific+applications+for+Molga+99.

     

    But from EHP5, we have Launhpad customisation which replaces Homepage customisation and new APPcc for doing this more conviently.

     

    Steps to be followed :

     

    1) Create a single Component configuration for Application HRESS_A_PERSINFO. Within
    this configuration you can create generic configuration for overview & detail screen.

     

    2) You have to define AppCC configuratio to show specific fields based on
    country or subtype.

     

    3) BADI HRESS_COUNTRY_FILTER determines that pernr belongs to which
    country and based on it Personal Profile menu is displayed to him.

     

    More information here on these are available here :

    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/2a/465e0e7eab4f9bac2785f5eb525da8/frameset.htm and

    Copy the Standard one into Z one.

    Try to create a new configuration for Non delivered country , Infotype , Lets assume  Country Version is 99

    Click on PersInfo Configuration and Create. Choose the infotype you want to create.

    You need to create as per below , creating IT0009

    For ZHRESS_CC_PER_OVP configuration: - For overview page : Change HRESS_CC_PER_OVR_ADDRESS_XX to ZHRESS_CC_PER_OVR_ADDRESS_XX.

    - For detail page: Change HRESS_CC_PER_DTL_ADDRESS_XX to ZHRESS_CC_PER_DTL_ADDRESS_XX.

    - For Wire of Overview "Address": Change the configuration to ZHRESS_CC_PER_OVR_ADDRESS_XX instead of ZHRESS_CC_PER_OVR_ADDRESS_XX.

    - For Wire of Detail "Address" : Change the configuration to ZHRESS_CC_PER_DTL_ADDRESS_XX and source configuration name:

    ZHRESS_CC_PER_OVR_ADDRESS_XX

     

     

    Now parts to be done are

     

    1-     Create your own Component configuration (copy of HRESS_CC_PER_OVP).

     

    2-     In the Component configuration of HRESS_CC_PER_OVP, specify ZZ_CPY_HRESS_CC_PERS_CONFIG instead of HRESS_CC_PER_CONFIG.

     

    Click on Display & then global settings.

     

    These steps are done for the Overview and the detail screen, Usually the Overview remains international ie XX version which is generic to all and in detail screen we display country specific screens.

    Click on to Component Configuration

    Now if this you can create copies and attach the z version instead of the standard according to your customisation ie you ll have this then

    Please note down following for AppCC configuration:

    - It is done for detail page.

    - Source UIBB must be from XX.

    - Target UIBB can be country specific.

    - Before maintaining AppCC configuration for any country, make sure that configuration of webdynpro component FPM_LIST_UIBB exist

    Lately, there has been many questions regarding MSS ADD On and its customisation, So this is the reason for this blog.

    It's possible to configure the home page to not display the pieces of the home page (i.e) competency management, CATS dashboard etc. there are several views embedded in the standard delivery profile page. You can make a decision to show which views, You need to copy this to your Z Configuration in order to protect your changes in case of support package upgrade.Well, its always recommended to make a copy of the standard configuration and make changes to your Z one.

     

    Please follow these Steps

     

     

    Step 1 : Use Package PAOC_MSS in SE80

     

    1.PNG

     

    Step 2 : Select Configuration Name   HRMSS_HOMEPAGE_OVP and click on Start Configurator

     

    2.PNG

     

    Step 3 Select the Atttributes or the piece you want to hide

     

    3.PNG

     

    Step 4 : Click on the attribute and check the box

     

    4.PNG

     

    This way the home page is launched without the competency management view. However, by using the personalize option

    in the page, the users can add the view to the homepage. If you don't want the view permantely than you can delete the UIBB by clicking on the

    delete button on the top right corner of the configuration screen. This way, the users cannot add the view to the home page using personlization.
