With SAP version 4.7  extension II and above, SAP deliver a functionality called Management of Global Employees, a subset of Concurrent Employment functionality. This in itself introduces a whole new concept of tracking employees (see my help document of MGE on this website). With the concept of PERSON ID, it is a central ID now link to multiple PERNRs (also known as personnel assignments).

When a person goes on international transfer / country re-assignment, it is required by SAP for you to get a new personnel assignment number (PERNR). With that, in your configuration of personnel action, there is a check box flag to signify the action type is a country re-assignment.

When you flip this flag, only purpose it serves is when you run an action via PA40, it ask you to choose an action to put one record in withdrawn status and another to put in active status. In blunt put, terminate one and hire other.

When using this method, be prepare to have 3 personnel actions setup to handle this. One to be trigger via the PA40 and two to be trigger within PA40 transaction.

In short, when a person goes on international transfer, you will be required by SAP to introduce to him/her a new PERNR. You can still track them as one individual through the PA side using PERSON ID or through the OM side using the central person concept.

Now it comes back to the population question. Can I “NOT” have SAP force me to create a new PERNR when a person goes on international transfer / country re-assignment. The answer is also yes. You can refer to SAP OSS Note 116007 for further detail. However, if you focus on the last phrase from SAP, this is NOT the recommended option and SAP will NOT support you if a problem does occur.

But how do you have this cool feature for other infotypes, such as custom infotypes or infotypes not automatically default out of the box?

You can! Very easy as the matter of fact. You can point your table to V_T582A or go to the IMG via SPRO -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Customizing Procedures -> Infotypes -> Infotypes

Select the infotype you want to maintain and select “Text Allowed”. Whoa la!

Save-A-Phone SAP-1001 Wet Phone Rescue Kit

• RHINTE00 – Transfer PA Records To PD Positions. In another world, it creates the HRP1001 between P to S in the OM side of the world. When you view a record via IT0001, you see this person holds the position, however via HRP1001, that relationship isn’t so.
• RHINTE10 – Generates the required relevant tables. (T513 – Jobs, T513S – Jobs, T528B – Positions, T528T – Work Center, T527X – Org Unit
• RHINTE20 – checks for all objects for integration between PA and OM. This is a big one and will take awhile to run. What it does is look at table T513/T513T – Jobs, T528/T528T – Position, and T528X – Org Unit. It will then compare it against the HRPxxxx table to find missing objects. If there are any missing objects, it will create the record.
• RHINTE30 – Transfer OM to PA. This will create infotype 0001. If the conversion strategy is to have SAP auto inherit factor to kick in for IT0001, often time jobs and org unit are missing via IT0001 during the inital conversion load. RHINTE30 will find the relationship and push it through IT0001.

After running these, don’t forget to check SM35 as some of them will create a BDC Session that needs to be executed for actual update.

You can also execute RHINTECHECK program to check for any issue on the integration side.

Usually the rule of thumbs on conversion is that you use DTT, LMSW, or even custom ABAP program to load P0000, P0001, and P0002. Once those are done, you run RHINTE00 to establish the P-S relationship on the OM side from information you’ve load via P0001. You then would run and RHINTE10 to establish the text table on the PA side for positions, org unit, and jobs. You are correct that text are stored in HRP1000, however that is where OM stores the information. PA has a few text tables storing the same information for PA usage. RHINTE10 will handle that. At the end of the process you would run RHINTE30. What this would do is re-create P0001, this time allowing standard SAP integration functionality to default in the org unit and job into the field. Since you did RHINTE00 earlier, you’ve established P to S relationship on the OM side. Not SAP knows where to find the O and C.

Of course the process above is only showing one point of view and scenario. Different implementation will have different flavor of how conversion occurs. You would have to test it out and do trial and error on finding the best solution for you.

Read the help files for further details and also explore what other possibility you can use this for outside of implementation (i.e.: Pos Go-Live situation as in Production Support)

Until recently when SAP introduce Management Global Employees (MGE) / Concurrent Employment (CE) functionality, all of that went down the tube. If you had installed the Best Practice Client w/ client 000 stuff, you should be safe with what is delivered. But with those who did not, you are into a big surprise.

You will need to maintain ENTRY feature as you normally would, but in addition need to maintain a whole new node of configuration in the IMG

IMG -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Evaluation Basis -> Calculation of Employment Period

This entire nodes needs to be maintain. If you have a best practice client setup, the best practice setting will be enough for most implementation to work against. Enterprise Compensation Management module which uses senority setting in their guidelines will be able to leverage it as well.

Took me awhile to figure this out!

Have Fun w/ researching it.
