1. Define infogroups

In this step, you define the info groups that are processed when actions are carried out. This
must be carried out before you proceed to the next step where you must define the work list,
i.e. the info group, for every personnel action that is to be carried out.

Double Click on User Group Dependency on Menus and Info Groups

Create entries as below:

Save the entries and return back. Double Click on Info group

Create Entries as per Menus entred above:

Enter all the infotypes that needs to populate while hriirng:

The following operations are used :

COP Copy
DEL Delete
DIS Display
EDQ Lock/unlock
INS Create
LIS9 Delimit
MOD Change
INSS Create for Actions is not converted to Change
As while hiring, new record is created so INS operation is used.

Thus, Infogroups are created.

2. Set up personnel actions

Double click on Personnel Action Types

Here following columns should be noted:

When you create a new action, the system checks whether the features of this action match
the features of the previous action. The feature you enter in this field controls performance of
this check.

Save the entries and return back.

3. Create reasons for personnel actions

https://blogs.sap.com/2014/04/01/pa40-actions-configuration-2/ 5/13
8/20/2009 PA40 – Actions Configuration | SAP Blogs

In this way Reason for Action can be customised. If no reason is maintained for an action
type, the system creates a blank value. If any type of Reason is maintained, then this field
becomes a mandatory field.

Save the entries and return back.

4. Change action menu

Double Click on Action menu

https://blogs.sap.com/2014/04/01/pa40-actions-configuration-2/ 6/13
8/20/2009 PA40 – Actions Configuration | SAP Blogs

Enter in the sequence the Actions to be displayed in PA40

Save the entries

Now the most important step is creating User Group in SU3 as below:

Go to TCode SU3, in the parameters table enter UGR in Parameter column, and maintain
the parameter value as shown below:

Save the entries.

Go to PA40:

Hi Priya,

Actually I am more concerned with posting

customisation related issues rather than end user
