How To Fix HRSEN00161 - A function module must be specified for storage of results

HRSEN00161 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRSEN00 - Calculation of Time Specifications

• Message number: 161

• Message text: A function module must be specified for storage of results

What causes this issue?

No <DS:DE.PSEN_FNPRO>function module for additional logic</> has been
specified in view V_T525P (<LS>Calculation Process for Employment
Period Calculation</>) for the <DS:DE.PSEN_PROCE>calculation process
</>. This is necessary if you want to store the result of the
calculation in the <LS>Employment Period Calculation</> infotype
(0553).
The function module for additional logic is called to determine the
employment period in the infotype dialog. It calls the calculation
module and also contains the complete additional logic (if required)
for calculating the result to be stored. This function module must have
the same interface as the function module
<DS:FU.HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_PROCESS_LOGIC>HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_PROCESS_LOGIC</>.

How to fix this error?

Enter a function module for the calculation process. If no special
logic is required to calculate the employment period using your
calculation process, you can use the function module
<ZH>HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_PROCESS_LOGIC</>.
&ADDITIONAL_HINTS&
In the function module <ZH>HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_PROCESS_LOGIC</>, the period
from 01.01.1800 (low-date) to the day before the selection date is set
as the evaluation period for the calculation of the employment period.
In the <LS>Employment Period</> infotype, the day before the selection
date is the day before the start date of the infotype.
If, for example, a record is created for the <LS>Employment Period
Calculation</> infotype for the period from 01.01.1998 to 31.12.9999,
the employment period is determined for the period 01.01.1800 to
31.12.1997.
The duration of the employment period is returned as the result of the
calculation.
