new filter for HRMD_A

[Former Member]

Hello SAP Experts,

I want to be able to add a filter to the distribution model for message type HRMD_A.

Existing filters are : PERSONAL AREA, INFOTYPE, SUBTYPE, TYPE OF RELATED OBJECT & OBJECT TYPE.

I want to add a new filter - COMPANY CODE.

So when master data changes, it should change only for a set of COMPANY CODES.

I have completed the following steps :

BD95- Create a new ALE Object type Z_BUKRS - table T001T, field BUKRS

BD59 - enter a new ALE Object Type Z_BUKRS, Segment type E1PLOGI, Field FILTER1

Set change pointers for HRMD_A

Create disctribution model in BD64

Now I can see that Company Code is added to the filter,I can add company code in the distribution model, but when I try to generate IDOCs - I get the message "No data has been selected for distribution".

The filter is not working! Do i need to add any code or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks,

Vaishali

Please check the combination values of Company Codes and Personnel Areas in the filter to see if they are valid.

Hello Ted,

At the moment the list of Personal Areas is blank, but even if I add a specific Personal Area and Company Code for which a change pointer record exists, IDOCs are not generated.

If I remove the company code, and just retain the personal area, then IDOC is generated. So clearly there is something missing with Company Code.

Thanks,

Hello SAP Experts!

I found out the solution to my issue - sharing this on the forum in case it is useful to anyone else.

I had to implement a BADI - IF_EX_HRALE00OUTBOUND_IDOC~FILTER_VALUES_SET in class ZCL_IM_HRALE00OBOUND_IDOC in addition to the following steps:

BD95- Create a new ALE Object type Z_BUKRS - table T001T, field BUKRS

BD59 - enter a new ALE Object Type Z_BUKRS, Segment type E1PLOGI, Field FILTER1

Set change pointers for HRMD_A

Create distribution model in BD64

Implement above BADI - it already contains code for other filters like PERSA, I added one line for BUKRS:

DATA pa0001 TYPE pa0001.

DATA pa0002 TYPE pa0002.

• filter logic only for employees

CHECK otype = 'P '.

SELECT * FROM pa0001

INTO pa0001 WHERE pernr = objid

AND begda <= sy-datum

AND endda >= sy-datum.

• record is valid today, no authorization check

EXIT.

ENDSELECT.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

• Begin of changes 07/03/2012 *

• filter1 = pa0001-werks. "Personnel Area

filter1 = pa0001-bukrs. "Company Code

filter2 = pa0001-werks. "Personnel Area

• End of changes 07/03/2012 *

ELSE.

CLEAR: filter1, filter2.

ENDIF.

Thanks,

Are there any new transactional data change to generate change pointers ? If not RBDMIDOC will not generate any Idocs.

Yes, there are three records that can be processed.

yes, there are three records that can be processed, if I remove the filter for company code IDOCs are generated, so the issue is the filter on Company Code.
