What is the significance of status indicator in personnel actions?

Hi Subhal!

Most actions create a record in the infotype of the same name Actions (0000). The deciding criteria as to whether a personnel action type should be stored in the Actions infotype (0000) is its effect on the status indicators.

In Customizing for Personnel Administration, you can assign the following three status indicators, each of which can have different values, to each personnel action type:

· Customer-specific (status 1)

Status 1 is customer-specific and is not used in the standard system.

· Employment (status 2)

Status 2 relates to the employee’s employment relationship. Status 2 is used in PA in the following two central places:

¡ In Reporting

Status 2 is used to indicate entries into and exits from the company. This affects data selection within reporting. Employees who have left the company are, for example, identified by status 2.

¡ In time-constraint validation

Data records with time constraint 1 may be deleted at the end if the value assigned to status 2 is 0, i.e. if the employee has left the company. The following infotypes constitute exceptions:

§ Actions (0000)

§ Organizational Assignment (0001)

§ Personal Data (0002)

For these infotypes, a data record must exist at all times in the system for each employee from the point at which he or she is hired.

For further information on time constraint, see the Time Constraint in HR Master Data section in the Personnel Administration documentation.

· Special payment (status 3)

Status 3 controls an employee’s entitlement to special payment for automatic special payments within Payroll Accounting.

Personnel action types that change the status of an employee, for example, the Leaving personnel action type, are stored in the Actions infotype (0000). When you execute one of these personnel actions, the system automatically maintains the employee’s status.

Note that only one personnel action type per day is stored in the Actions infotype (0000). If you want to know how to execute and log more than one personnel action type for an employee on the same day, see the documentation for the Additional Actions infotype (0302).
