Customizing Report Selection Screens (v4.6)
When programs and reports for Personnel Administration are run, the main selection
screen may appear something like so:
This is a sample selection screen from a program/report that runs from Personnel
Administration. Specifically, this means that the program is based on logical database
PNP.
It is possible to amend this basic selection screen to suit your needs, for all programs
that have 'PNP' as the logical database. If you have not worked with logical databases
before and do not understand this part, them it's fairly safe to say that most PA
programs and reports ARE based on PNP. Usually you can see this, as the selection
screen looks very similar to the one above.
Lets look at the example above: perhaps we would like the date selection to be just
for a specific 'key date' and we want to just make the personnel number, personnel
area, subarea and employee group to be selection fields like this:
Remember, this can be done for your own programs, and SAP standard ones without
making a 'correction/repair'. It can be useful for amending programs like the payroll
calculation driver, remuneration statements, and many of the PA reports.
First, you have to know the program name. If you do not know it, go to the
selection screen you wish to change, and click to System - Status, and note the
program name shown in the box:
We see an example here, which shows the program name, is ZHRDEMO1.
Now for the configuration there are two steps to defining a ‘special’ selection screen
for a program/report:
1. Define a new report category (defining which fields and dates are used)
2. Assign the new category to the ABAP program
There is additional information in attached document about how to define/modify new
report category.
