Dear community,
I bring interesting news for those of you who work with ALE idoc transfers based on HRMD_A or HRMD_ABA message types, specially if you have already done (or soon plan to do) some modifications of the data or to the structure of the default standard idocs.
For those of you who may not know, let me provide a quick recap: ALE integration in HCM is quite flexible and modifiable. HRMD* idocs are generated in the source system(s) with employees or organizational data and are transferred to the target system(s) where they are processed and saved. Already from the source and also in the target, there are many places (outbound/inbound BADIs, exits from RHALE001 enhancement, etc) where customers might add/change/remove any data according to their needs. As far as the ALE integration is flexible, it is also consistent, and in order to guarantee this consistency, some preconditions need to be taken. Sometimes, when customers are dealing with modifications in the idocs, it may happen that some standard precondition is broken, and this will lead to later problems with the idoc processing, and possibly headaches and additional work until the conflict is resolved.
Now, in order to help customers and consultants to detect and control these situations, I am happy to present you the new report:
RHALE_HRMD_ANALYZE (transaction code HRMD_ANALYZE).
Below you can find how the selection screen looks like.
Currently the tool is capable of automatically searching for 5 possible conflicts in HRMD* idocs which correspond to five commonly well known and documented cases. The main advantage of this is that these conflicts can be detected automatically, the affected objects are presented in the results, together with a link to the corresponding documentation (SAP Note, SAP Knowledge Base Article, etc) and therefore the time needed to solve such problems can be strongly reduced.
These checks being carried out currently are:
And here is an example of how the resulting ALV list would look like:
:smile: This application has just been delivered with note 2210950 :smile:
If you are interested in it, you can proceed to apply it either from SNOTE or from the corresponding Support Package, when available. Please do not hesitate to check this mentioned note for additional details.
We are open for suggestions and we are considering the possibility of adding more checks in the future. So if you have any question, feedback, comment or suggestion, please feel free to leave it in the comments section below.
Thanks for your time!
