Reviewing Additional Actions

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to outline how multiple actions processed on the same day are tracked

Additional Actions Infotype

The Additional Actions (0302) infotype allows you to log all personnel actions that you execute for an employee in a single day. The log records all the action types and the corresponding action reasons run for the employee according to a key date.

All programs that interpret an employee’s status, evaluate the Actions infotype (0000) exclusively. The Actions infotype (0000) has the time constraint 1, which means that only one valid Actions infotype record can exist in the system at any one time for the employee’s activity in the company.

Additional Actions in Actions Infotype

You need to ensure that only one personnel action is saved in the Actions infotype (0000) per day. In Customizing, you can specify which action type should be stored for an employee per day if more than one personnel action was run for the employee on the same day. Usually, you should choose personnel actions whose status is changing, such as the Leaving personnel action, which causes a status change from active to left. The other actions are stored in IT0302.

Only action types and action reasons are saved in the Additional Actions infotype (0302).

Hint

You cannot execute two different status-changing personnel actions for one employee on the same day. For example, you cannot run a Leaving action and an early retirement or retirement action on the same day. In this case, one action would overwrite the other.

If you want to use the Additional Actions (0302) infotype, you can use report RPUEVSUP to make the necessary entries.
