SAP HR - Creation of the customer specific Operation and Rule

Hi.........Today  we will try to learn to create the customer specific Operation and Rule. First we will start with the naming conventions for Operations and rules

Operations and Functions :

Naming convention for Operations: Name of the operations and functions should have special character as a part of name except the signs : * # " . + : , '

Transaction code for operations and functions: PE04

Rule:

Naming convention for Rule: Name of the rule should start with the letter Z

Transaction code for operations and functions: PE04

We will take one example to create the customer specific operation and Rule. I will be using A-E1 for operation and ZAP1 for rule. Please follow the below steps,

Step 1 - Create the customer specific OperationA-E1

Step 2 - Copy the code for operation A-E1

Step 3 - Create customer specific rule ZAP1

Step 4 - Place the Rule ZAP1 in customer specific schema
