Configuring Structural Search for Custom OM Objects in SAP

You need to:

• Create two new Organizational Management (OM) objects
• Configure relationships between them
• Enable structural search for these new objects so they can be found via transaction PP01, similar to how it works for standard positions

Perform the configuration at the following SPRO path: IMG → Personnel Management → Organizational Management → Basic Settings → Data Model Enhancement → Maintain Object Types

Create two new objects. In this example, we’ll use objects 91 and 92.

Go to: IMG → Personnel Management → Organizational Management → Basic Settings → Infotype Maintenance → Maintain Subtypes

Define subtypes for Infotype 1001 – “Relationships”, which will act as relationship identifiers between the two new objects. In this case:

• Subtype/Relationship AZ91 – “Belongs to”
• Subtype/Relationship BZ91 – “Incorporates”

Also, assign appropriate time constraints to these new subtypes.

Navigate to: IMG → Personnel Management → Organizational Management → Basic Settings → Data Model Enhancement → Relationship Maintenance → Maintain Relationships

Define the allowed relationships between the new objects (see Step 2).

As per the setup, the structure of the objects and their relationships should resemble the following:

Go to: IMG → Personnel Management → Organizational Management → Basic Settings → Data Model Enhancement → Infotype Maintenance → Maintain Infotypes

Assign the required infotypes to the new objects along with their time constraints. In this case:

• 1000 – “Object”
• 1001 – “Relationships”

To perform intermediate testing:

• Create the two new objects via transaction PP01 (Infotype 1000 – “Object”)
• Create the relationship between the two objects (Infotype 1001 – “Relationships”)

Create new evaluation paths to enable structural search for the new objects using transaction OOAW. In this example, the following paths are used:

• Evaluation Path: AZ91

• Evaluation Path: BZ91

Navigate to: IMG → Personnel Management → Organizational Management → Basic Settings → Data Model Enhancement → Maintain Object Types

Assign the evaluation paths created in Step 6 to the new object types.

Use transaction PP01 to perform a structural search for the new objects.
