How to search for a position # in SAP when I have the PMIS position #

Scenario: You are starting the process to complete a Personnel Change Request (PCR) for an action in the new Beacon system (SAP) and need to find the position # in SAP for the employee. Your source documentation (e.g. PD105) only contains the current PMIS position #. This instruction will show you step by step how you can use the PMIS position # to find the new SAP position # in the system.

Step 1: You are on the second screen of the Employee Action Request (T-Code: ZPAA076). Select the drop down next to EE Position field on the Employee Action Request screen.

Step 2: The following search help will appear

Step 3: Select the `Abbreviation and Name' tab by clicking on it. The next screen will appear:

Step 4: Enter the last 12 digits of the PMIS # in the `Object abbreviation'

field (only the last 12 characters, i.e. leave the first three out). Example: If the PMIS # is 425003010603382 you will enter only 003010603382 in the field). See below

Step 5: Click on the green arrow at the bottom of the search screen (see above) to find the SAP position. The following screen will appear:

You will see 1 position, TRANSPORTATION WORKER (Object ID 60018255). Verify that this is the correct position then double click on the yellow highlighted position or click on the green arrow to select this position

Step 6: The SAP position # will appear in the EE Position field

Step 7: Hit `enter' to pull all the relevant values into the fields:

You will now see the SAP position # and description (in this case 60018255 Transportation Worker) and the other proposed fields

Step 8: You can now go ahead and complete the rest of the screen (Basic Pay etc.)
