Personnel Change Request (PCR)-Manager Self Service

Personnel Change Request (PCR)-Manager Self Service

Personnel Change Requests (PCRs) enable managers to request changes to employee data quickly and easily, using forms in a portal environment. Various approval processes can be linked to those requests before a personnel administrator can update the data in the SAP system using predefined processing functions.
Personnel change requests are ISR based request forms to change employee basic data.

PCR functionality works in three steps:
(1) a manager submits a change request for one of his employees,
(2) his next-level (higher) manager might or might not have to approve this request depending on the scenario used, and
(3) the HR/Personnel Administrator actually executes/performs the infotype change.
For the execution step (3), this is performed by the HR Administrator in the R/3 backend system, usually via the R/3 Inbox which calls up the ISR transaction IQS22. Through the Follow-Up Actions for the PCR scenario, PA30 is then called for the actual PA infotype update.

Customizing of UWL for PCR scenario

->Make the following Customizing settings in transaction SWFVISU:
○Make the following entry under task visualization:
Task: TS50000075
Visualization type: WebDynpro Java
-> Add the following visualization parameters for the visualization type WD-JAVA for this task:
Application: IsrFormApprove
Package: sap.com/pcui_gp~isr
-> Configure the universal worklist for calling work items for personnel change requests.
In the universal worklist, set up a system from which the work items are to be read. To do this, use the standard Customizing functions for the universal worklist that exist in SAP NetWeaver. For more information, see SAP Note 676253.

Display & Print link on Confirmation page

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, under Homepage Framework → Services → Define Links on Confirmation Page, you have entered the service link HCM_MSS_PCR in the standard system. This entry is required so that the portal can display the “display and print link” on confirmation page.

Checking customizing for Adobe Integration

1) If you have entry FP_ICF_DATA at:
Visual Admin -> server -> service -> destination -> http

2) Please check you can access to
http://<ABAP server>:<ABAP http port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/ fp_test_00.xdp?fp-language=DE
-> need user ADS_AGENT / corresponding password
If you have error page, it is caused by user role.
3) Test FM ISR_GET_FROM_URL
