SAP HR Interview Questions and Answers



1. What is Date Modifier?
Differentiator that you use to determine different
paydays for different employees for whom payroll is run with the same
periodicity. Ex : Payroll is run monthly in your enterprise. The payday is the
15th of the month for industrial employees and the 25 th for salaried
employees. Since the payroll periodicity (monthly) is the same for both
groups of employees, the system requires two date modifiers as
differentiators to be able to determine different paydays.
2. We have approximately 10000 zip codes. We want to relate the eligibility
group to the zip code. We do not want to create 20000 eligibility groups.
Which is the best way to configure basing eligibility for HMO's on zip codes?
Try to group the zip codes by the HMO's they belong to.
Then create benefit groups and programs for the unique combinations. You
can create as many benefit groups as required and use the employee zipcode
to select the benefit group the employee is eligible for. You may also look at
user exit 2.
3. We have a requirement to calculate leave entitlement at the anniversary year
not calendar year. The leaves have both paid and unpaid components. The
paid component is based on time worked. The unpaid component is based on
years of service. Leave taken is reduced from both entitlements depending on
employee's request. We are using a Schema based on TM04 which calls
Cycles TS15, TS10. What is th ebest way to handle this?
You can use field 'DAUER' for seniority based vacation
entitlement in the VAC01->VAC99 features. Time worked is not part of the
feature structure (PME03). However you may create your own source code to
make a decision on any field even if it does not belong to the feature
structure. Check feature VAC01.
4. We are using the US HR/PAYROLL module. We are able to create the entry to
credit the accrued payroll account. But our check writing process does not
produce any accounting entries when we create a pay check or run our EFT
process(RFFOUS_T). Should RFFOUS_C produce an accounting entry to debit
the payroll payable account and credit the cash account ?
RFFOCUS_C does not produce any accounting entries.
During the FI/CO interface run , 559 wage types may be posted to your cash
account
5. What is personnel Area?
Personal Area is a geographical location or the business
entity of the company. Please understand that Personal Area is need not to be
a geographical location always.
6. We want to make a copy of an organizational structure from one plan variant
to another. This copy should include all assignments like purchasing groups to
organizational units made in PFOM . Can we do this?
Make sure that the plan number is established through
the IMG. (And that it is not the active plan.) <br>Go Human Resources ->
Organizational Management Tools -> Plan version -> Copy. <br>It runs
RHCOPL00. All or any portion of the plan maybe copied and manipulated and
then copied back in to the active plan.
7. We are using the PAI user exit in MP000800 screen 2000 to modify the BET01
field. After modifying the value, the value is not re displayed. However the
updated value is saved on commit. Why the value is not displayed after
modification?
Yes. It is True. You may have to apply OSS.
8. We use clocking machine for recording employee clock-in/out . All the data is
stored in a 'flat' file which is supposed to be uploaded into SAP. When tried to
open and read the flat file using OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET
commands, the Sy-subrc value returned is 8 and the error message 'the
specified file not found' is displayed. We checked the path and the file is in
the correct location. What is missing?
Check the path once again. Check the upper and lower
cases. Define you parameter file name like filename-fileextern. Depending on
the place where the flat file resides, the procedure varies. OPEN DATASET is
used for upload of file from the host system. If your flat (text) file is on the
PC, you can use the function WS_UPLOAD which will upload your text file into
an internal table. This internal table data can be loaded into SAP. The syntax
is as follows:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = pcfile
IMPORTING
FILELENGTH = fileleng
TABLES
DATA_TAB = internal table name
Please note that you have to specify the pcfile of length 128.
9. What is IT 41 used for? How to default IT 41?
Date Specifications (Info type 0041). The following
information is recorded in the Date Specifications info type (0041). The Date
type specifies the type of information. A concrete Date type (specified by the
user) is used in a series of reports, for example to evaluate an entry date that
cannot be derived from the organizational assignment history but which is
stored in the Date Specifications info type (0041). This info type can be used
in payroll as well as for the leave program. The standard system contains
twelve combinations of Date type and Date. If the requirement is more than
twelve date specifications for an employee at the same time, then the time
constraint 3 is used.
10. We want to make a copy of an organizational structure from one plan variant
to another. This copy should include all assignments like purchasing groups to
organizational units made in PFOM . Can we do this?
Yes you can copy everything from one plan version to
other by copying the plan version in Tools-plan version-copy.
11. We have a requirement to calculate leave entitlement at the anniversary year
not calendar year. The leaves have both paid and unpaid components. The
paid component is based on time worked. The unpaid component is based on
years of service. Leave taken is reduced from both entitlements depending on
employee's request. We are using a Schema based on TM04 which calls
Cycles TS15, TS10. What is th ebest way to handle this?
You can use field 'DAUER' for seniority based vacation
entitlement in the VAC01->VAC99 features. Time worked is not part of the
feature structure (PME03). However you may create your own source code to
make a decision on any field even if it does not belong to the feature
structure. Check feature VAC01.
