TMC_0050 - Add Fields to Field Selection Catalog

In this Customizing activity, you can add your own fields to the field selection that is offered in the views for configuring user interfaces. These fields are then available for configuring user interfaces.

For the system to be able to fill these fields with data, you must ensure that your own fields are included in a (customer) implementation of the BADI_HRTMC_DR_FIELDS BAdI definition. This implementation must use the category that you specified for your own fields as the filter value. In addition to the field names and category, you also define the BAdI field name that the field is to have in the BAdI methods.

The following cases can de differentiated:

• Case A: You want to add a customer field with your own category.

In this case, you must create your own BAdI implementation that contains the category as a filter criterion.

Case B: You want to add an Appraisals, Evaluations, and Surveys field as an additional field.

In this case, you must assign the SAP_AES category and additionally enter the field in the Adjust Data Retrieval for Appraisals, Evaluations, and Surveys. Customizing activity. You do not need to create your own BAdI implementation.

• Case C: You want to add a field that corresponds to a field from the Personal Data infotype (0002) or from the Other Personal Data infotype (0077) as an additional field.

In this case, you need to assign either SAP_IT0002 or SAP_IT0077 as the category to the field. It is sufficient to enter the same field name that the field has in the infotype structure as the BAdI field name. Note that values that do not correspond may be returned as return values. In this case, the BAdI name should refer to the description of the value that can usually be obtained via _TEXT.

SAP provides standard fields that follow the SAP_* naming convention.

1. Add your own fields to the field selection as required.
2. Assign a category to these fields.
3. In the BAdI: Evaluate Fields for Data Retrieval Customizing activity, ensure that the fields are included in a customer BAdI implementation that uses the assigned category as the filter value.
