How to delete PA infotypes en masse

Posted on February 2, 2012 by

Have you encountered the situation where data was loaded incorrectly in SAP? It could have been during conversion or maybe the first run of an interface.  Now you need to remove that data and start fresh.  SAP provides a program called RPUREOPN that will assist you in removing unwanted data.  This is a powerful tool and should be used carefully.  Additionally, this program only gives a numerical confirmation of what data will be deleted so I recommend gathering the list of the data to be deleted via SE16 (or SE16N).

How to Give E-Recruiting a Facelift (Part 1)

Posted on December 15, 2011 by

Most companies aren’t big fans of the look-and-feel of the standard SAP E-Recruiting screens, so they want to add their own “twist” to it. This could be changing text, changing field labels, Roadmap steps or even logos.  Acquiring a Developer to do this by using custom code could take a lot of time and money.  Thankfully SAP has provided a way to change the standard Web Dynpro pages with a minimal amount of coding.  This is done through component configuration.

workflow switch to find manager (approver) along Org structure even if chief position is vacant

Posted on December 15, 2011 by

I once got a development requirement from a client that they want to change the Timesheet (CATS) approval workflow. The standard approval workflow stops if the chief position (Manager Position) assigned to an org unit is vacant. They want to change the workflow to go one level up until it finds a manager if the current org unit’s chief position is vacant. I told them it is just a configuration and you don’t have to develop or enhance anything. As always, there are lots of settings we wish that SAP would have provided as standard, but at the same time there may be some clients who don’t want to use this feature.
