Creating New Infoset Query
Steps on how to proceed to create a Query:
ADHOC QUERY
A query can be created to extract information from master records i.e Infotypes. For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
Proceedure :
Decide on the various Infotypes we want to make the query. Decide on the area where we want to query i.e Global area or Standard area. Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
Menu : HR – PM – Admn - Information System - Adhoc Query
Select area standard and select the user group already created
Creation of new query :
TC SQ03 - Select Environment – Select Standard Area - Enter -- If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and exit after saving
TC SQ02 - Enter name of the Infoset – Create – enter name of Infoset - Data source -- > Table join by basis table – give name of table e.g pa0000 - Enter - Click on insert table if we want to include more tables – give name of table one by one and after finishing, place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships - check - and go back - field groups - include all table fields - click on generate button - go out
TC SQ03 - Select user group - eg. Payroll
Infoset - Enter name of newly created Infoset
Assign users and Infosets - Assign infosets - put tick on payroll - save and go back
TC PAAH - Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
Save the query by giving the same name as infoset for easyness..

IMG is short for "Implementation Guide". It is used for customizing SAP R/3. The SAP Implementation guide lists all the required steps for configuration, customization and implementation of various SAP modules like HR, FI, CO, MM, SD etc... in a simple to understand tree structure. This can be accessed by the transaction "SPRO".

It provides the links to FI/CO and for functions/processes like payroll posting, costing. When you assign a person to a pers area/sub area, you also need to assign to a position in an Org unit. To do this the MP000100 goes to the FI module to check if FI is implemented.
