Best Sub-modules of SAP HR

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 | 0 comments »

Q?


What would considered the two hottest submodule of SAP HR?
1- Payroll?
2- Time Management?
3- Personal Administration?
4- Benefits?
5- Organizational Management?
As a SAP HR Consultant, but since in training know what would be the best option within the HCM.


Prob Ans:


It all depends in your country of residence in europe:



  • payroll is no 1(very complicated)

  • time management follows (less complicated than payroll)

  • personell administration

  • org management are basic modules which doesn't need alot of knowledge

  • benefits is used in few countries like usa and canada

  • Best take the payroll if not time management
    OR

  • Talent Management. SAP is improving its solution and many companies decided to make more value of its HCM SAP system.

 I hope this wil be usefull to starter for SAP HR Consultant.

University Resources for SAP Tutorials

| 1 comments »

Because I’m a college student, it has been many times i have collected useful course documents from other college’s sites to make my study easier. Well, this is valid for improving my SAP knowledge also though this is uncommon for many practicers. There are a plenty of University resources that you can benefit at the utmost. Recently you must have seen SAP Online Training sites provide interactive user guides which are created by Adobe Captivate application. Like Michaelmanagement provides, you can view the demo. This tool also tempts my interest, to create certification tests, end-user guides and presentations.


For the resources, not sure how long they will be for free but, the University of Tennesse also provides a bunch of interactive video tutorials for various modules like FICO, HR, Reporting, Workflow etc. You can see a demo tutorial for FV60 transaction HERE. You will also find step by step pdf documents, or pages there.

Configuration Module Pools to be used in infotype (HCM)

| 0 comments »

How to access to the Module pools configuration int he SAP HCM module ERP 2006 (Example: IT 0002 is maintained through MP000200 and MP000200_CE what is the configuration driving the module pool to be used ?


Ans:


It is available in ECC and not earlier releases like 46c.

If you go to IMG and search for 'concurrent', you will find a few steps where it is required to configure for this type of employment. (eg. Actions for Concurrent Employment, Activate Concurrent Employment for Personnel Administration, Assign Concurrent Employment Grouping Values to Registration Numbers, etc.)

For each step, you will find hyper text when you click the 'hand' button (when you put the cursor on it 'it shows up text 'IMG activity documentation'). This will guide you to do the config for the step.

For example under Personnel Mamagement->Personnel Admin->Personnel Admin for concurrent employment - you will use the "CCURE MAINS" switch where CCURE is the Group and MAINS is Semantic Abbrev. Under value - enter the start for implementing this concurrent employment in the system. You usually put the implementation date of the ECC version as the value.

You need to do all the IMG activities. Then test the same and change where you need or add any required user exits or BAPIs.

ESS Personal Information UI enhancement without modification

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 | 0 comments »

1. Infotype screenstructure enhancement

First of all you need to determine the screenstructure for the Infotype you want to enhance. Therefor call transaction SM30 and analyse table view V_T588UICONVCLAS.


Figure 1: screenstructure and convertingclass assignment

The screenstructure above is used in various Function Moduls right from the Web Dynpro Frontend Application. In figure 2 you see a bunch of Modelclasses which do represent different Function Moduls. Lets take the HRXSS_PER_EDIT_0006_DE for instance (Figure 3).


Figure 2: Modelclasses


Figure 3: Function Module "HRXSS_PER_EDIT_P0006_DE"

As you can see, the above Function Module uses the structure HCMT_BSP_PA_DE_R0006 for its main record. As we now have determined the screenstructure in question, its time to enhance it with a custom field. In order to enhance the sctructure, simply view it with transaction SE11 and double click on the include at the bottom CI_DE_R0006.

Once you have added your custom field, the structure could look like in figure 4.

If you do not need to add a new custom field to the front end, but just an already existing field of the Infotype record, you do not have to do anything at this point.


Figure 4: Structure "HCMT_BSP_PA_DE_R0006"

Hint

Your Server where the Web Dynpro ESS applications are deployed to have to be restartet each time you add/remove/change a custom field!

Alternativly use the aRFC Metadata Invalidation tool, provided with NW 7.0 SPS 10+ and NW 6.40 SPS 10+

2. Implement BAdI "HRPAD00INFTYUI"

The screenstructure we have currently enhanced does represent the data which is available during runtime at the ESS WD Frontend Application. Having the data available at the frontend isn't sufficient at all, so we have to somehow map the data to the backend infotype record datastructure. This is done using the BAdI HRPAD00INFTYUI. This BAdI is part of the New Infotype Framework (NITF) which decouples the UI (User Interface) from the business logic. More about decoupled Infotypes can be found at the SAP Online Help Developing an Infotype in Personnel Administration -> Infotype Concept -> Decoupling Infotypes.


Figure 5

The BAdI consists of 2 Methods which are relevant in our ESS scenarios.

  • IF_EX_HRPAD00INFTYUI~INPUT_CONVERSION: Converts the data from the frontend to the backend datastructure. If you want to enter data at the frontend and want the data be available at the backend as well, this method has to be implemented.

  • IF_EX_HRPAD00INFTYUI~OUTPUT_CONVERSION: Converts the data from the backend to the frontend datastructure.

Figure 6: BAdI HRPAD00INFTY

Useful Information

You can use the Converting Classes from tableview V_T588UICONVCLAS as an implementation example. (E.g.: CL_HRPA_UI_CONVERT_BASIC)

3. ImplicitWeb Dynpro UI Personalization

First of all, the Web Dynpro UI personalization does only work if your Web Dynpro application is embedded into a Web Dynpro iView (Web Dynpro Page Builder) and runs in a Netweaver Portal 7.0 and above.

More information about the Web Dynpro personalization can be found at the SAP Help: SAP Online Help

To perform the UI personalization, you have to have at least the Portal Content Administrator role assigned to your user.

Adding a customer enhancement field

Open an ESS Personal Data iView in preview mode (e.g. Address iView)


Figure 7

Press CTRL + Right Mouse Button where you want your customer field added.

On the left container, choose the Transparent Container where you want your new customer field to be added.


Figure 8

Click on "Edit Custom Extension Fields"


Figure 9

You should now see each field you have added to the include structure (figure 4). To enable the field, just select "Visibile".


Figure 10

You can also define your UI element type. In most cases you should select "Input field" or just leave it to Automatic.

But you could also select other UI Element types like Drop Down list and Radio Button Group as shown in figures 10 and 11


Figure 11



Figure 12

Once you click on "Apply", your fields are shown on the screen. (Here: Name and Number)

Figure 13

To further personalize your new fields, you can simply CTRL + Right Mouse Button on the new UI elements.


Figure 14

On the left hand side you see that the new fields (Number and Name) have been added to the UI Element tree. Here you can now change the Label Text or any other property available to fit your needs.

Useful Information

As the ESS applications use the road map patter and you want to have your customer field shown on every road map step you have to manually add your customer field to each road map view.
To support different languages, you have to manually add you customer field to each iView of the respective language.


4. Translations

Every UI personalization does generate a new property of the object (iView/Page). These new properties can easily be translated with the Portal-Translation tool.

5. Restrictions

Datatype restriction

Datatypes for you new customer fields you add to the include structure can not be a structure and not an internal table.


Figure 15

Both results in a runtime error.


Figure 16

BizCard behaviour

The BizCard is the Overview of existing records for different subtypes you see when you enter one of the Personal data ESS applications.



Figure 17

If you want to add new fields to this view you have to consider the following behaviour.

Lets say we have 2 Subtypes defined. Each subtype has e.g. for the field COMNR a different value. (See figure 18,19)


Figure 18



Figure 19

When you add a new field for the datafield, in this case "COMNR" to the Bizcard you will realize the following behaviour.


Figure 20


Figure 21

As you can see just the last record 999999 is shown for each subtype instead of 111111 for the first and 999999 for the last record.

Logical Database

| 0 comments »

Logical database are special ABAP programs that read data from database tables. We can use logical database in a executable program by just specifying the name of the logical database in the program attributes. When you run your executable program the logical database program will also run simultaneously with it.


SAP supplies logical database for all categories.


In Human Resources (HR), the following logical databases can be used as a data source for HR InfoSets:



  • PNP (PNPCE)

  • PAP

  • PCH 

  • Structure

  • Selection

  • Database Program

Structure


The structure of a logical database determines the database tables which it can access. It adopts the hierarchy of the database tables defined by their foreign key relationships. This also controls the sequence in which the tables are accessed.


Selection


Every logical database has its own selection screen. Every executable program can use the selections defined in the logical database and it can add its own specific selections.


The selection screen 1st displays the selection of the logical database followed by the selection of the calling program.


The logical database provides several selection criteria. These are divided into the following three groups:



  • Person selection


  • Sorting the person selection


  • Data selection

Database Program


The database program of a logical database is a container for special subroutines, in which the data is read from the database tables. These subroutines are called by the reporting processor in the runtime environment in a predefined sequence.


The most important functions of the logical database are:


• Data Retrieval


Using only a single get pernr statement in our executable program, the logical database can extract the data for an employee one at a time which we can use for further processing.


• Data Selection


The logical database has its own selection screen. Depending upon the selection criteria given in the logical database selection screen, it will extract the data. For ex if we want to extract all the employees from a particular payroll area, just specify that payroll area in the logical database selection screen and it will read all the employees in that payroll area. No need to write any extra code.


• Authorization


The logical database executes an authorization check for personnel data. It checks whether the master record of the user who starts the report contains the authorizations for the data that is to be read in the report. A distinction is made between a person and a data authorization. The system first checks whether the user has an authorization for the employee in accordance with the criteria of organizational assignment. Employees for which the user has no authorization are not evaluated. The system then checks whether the user is authorized to process the infotypes of the specified report.

SAP HCM Consulting companies

| 0 comments »

I’ve had numerous requests from business partners for a comprehensive list of SAP HCM consulting companies in the USA. My aim in this post is to give you a comprehensive list — let me know if I missed one.


Pure-play SAP HCM companies:



  • EPI-USE: EPI-USE America, based in Atlanta, GA, is my former employer and one of the best SAP HCM consulting companies in the world (ok, my bias). Magnisol represents EPI-USE in Europe. EPI-USE has offices in South Africa (the parent company), Mexico, the UK, and Australia. EPI-USE has some world class complimentary SAP HCM products.

  • Symphony Consulting: Symphony is based in Charlotte, NC and partners with Ariston Consulting to implement full SAP ERP projects. They recently became an SAP Public Services partner.

  • AspireHR: Formerly ERP Solutions is based in Dallas, TX. They provide SAP HCM services and they’ve developed a number of interesting products. I assume AspireHR of the UK is not a related entity. They seem to have a strong relationship with SAP’s development group in Palo Alto.

  • Exaserv: A number of former Arinso employees started Exaserv a couple of years ago. They are based in Atlanta, GA with offices in Luwembourg, Dallas, and Walldorf Germany. They have unique products for HIPPA and Pension plans.

  • Insight Consulting: Insight is based Cincinnati, OH and Insight’s managing partner is on the HR Expert advisory board.

  • Emeritis: Emeritis has operations in the US, Belguim, Thailand, and Brazil. They claim over 200 SAP HR implementations. I don’t think that they have a strong presence in the US anymore.

  • Arinso: Arinso is one of the first and the largest SAP HCM consulting company in the world. Last year Arinso was acquired by UK-based Northgate. Arinso US is based in Atlanta, GA and has 25 offices around the world. In 2006 Arinso acquired OpenHR.

  • Worklogix: Worklogix is a niche SAP HCM consultancy. They are based in Texas, New York and Canada. Their strength is SAP Performance Management. They wrote the book!

Some full service SAP ERP consulting companies have a significant SAP HCM practice. These include:



And then the big boys:


Payroll Area.

| 0 comments »

Payroll areas is used to group together employees from which payroll is run at the same time, and set the dates for payroll period. Employees from different employee subgroups can belong to the same payroll area. Basic Criteria for new Payroll area are frequency of  Payroll, Pay Date. Frequency of payroll area may be weekly , monthly, fortnightly.


Payroll areas facilitate the following functions in Payroll Accounting:




  • Personnel numbers that are to be included in the same payroll run are grouped together


  • Defines the exact date for Payroll period


  • Employees to be included in a payroll run at the same time and for the same payroll period are grouped into one payroll area

Selection criterion for many payroll processes (payroll run, the remuneration statement, and evaluation reports, etc.)


Further selection criteria can be used to select fewer employees for payroll run. Example: cost center, ESG.


Payroll Area can be defaulted using Feature ABKRS to default value for the ‘Payroll Area’ field in Infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment).


 


Wage Type Structure


 


Wage types are the key elements in the Wage Structure and is used for assigning payments and deductions & to control Payroll program




  • Types



    • Primary Wage type:


    • Payments & deductions assigned using Primary Wage type


    • Denoted by Alpha numeric characters


    • System delivered Wage types can be copied and customized


    • Part of the Master data


  • Secondary Wage type (Technical wage type)



    • System defined wage types for internal calculations and storage like for example all commutations are stored in a Secondary wage type (Gross, net, quarterly gross etc.,)

Infotypes

| 0 comments »

What is all about?



  • Infotypes are information units in the Human Resources Management system. Groups of related data fields are bundled into infotypes.

  • Infotypes structure information, facilitate data entry and allow data to be saved for specific periods. Infotypes serve as templates for users to enter data.

  • From a database point of view, infotypes provide a data structure and a set of coherent data records.

  • We use a time constraint to determine how the data records of an infotype react to each other in terms of time.    

 


Different Info types in Personnel Administration:



  • Family

  • Working time

  • Bank details

  • Staff/job applicants

  • Org. assignment

  • Address/ personal data

Infotype Data Structure:



  • Four digit number nnnn

  • Unique identification

  • 9000 to 9999 reserved for customer infotypes

 


Naming Conventions for Infotypes:  



  • 0000 to 0999 – HR Master data  / Applicant data

  • 1000 to 1999 – Organizational Management

  • 2000 to 2999 – Time data                     

  • 4000 to 4999 – Applicant data    

  • 5000 to 5999 – Planning Infotypes      

  • 9000 to 9999 – Customer defined

Infotype Screens


 



  • Each infotype has at least three screens:

  • An initial screen ( 1000 )

    • Initial screen is used as technical interface

    • Processed in background and not displayed

  • A single screen ( 2000 )

    • Its an interface between the system and the user

    • It enables to create, display or maintain data records

  • A list screen ( 3000 )

    • Enables to list all records in info type

Declaration of Infotype in program:


           


            INFOTYPES:       0001,   “Infotype for Org. Assignment”


                                     0002,    “Infotype for Personal Data”


                                     0007.    “Infotype for Planned Working Time”


 


 

How to create a dynamic action (copying from one infotype to another)

| 0 comments »

Scenario :


We want SAP to copy data from a newly created / existing infotype to a specific infotype automatically.


How to do it?


Transaction Code : SPRO


IMG > Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Customizing Procedures > Dynamic Actions




Inside the dynamic action, identify which infotype that you want to maintain, for example I want to create / maintain infotype 0185 (Personal ID) subtype 02 (Passports) and during save, I want it to copy certain fields into infotype 0702 (Documents) subtype (PASS).




IType = This is where you put which infotype that you want to create / maintain.


Sty. = This where you put the subtype.


Field N = This where you can put the exact field name within the intermediate record, in my case, I don't need to.


FC = This is for the functional character of the steps.


00 for Independent of the current function carried out


02 for Change


04 for Create


06 for Change and create


08 for Delete


10 for Change and delete


12 for Create and delete


In my case, I'm using "06" because I want the dynamic to be active during creation / maintaining an infotype.


No = This is where you specify the sequence.


S = This is for Step's Indicator.


P - Check conditions


I - Maintain infotype record


W - Set default values when creating a new record


V - Reference to another step


F - Call routine


M - Send mail


In my case, I'm using "I" for maintaining an infotype and "W" to copy and paste the fields.


Variable function part = This the codes, just like programming.


INS,0702,PASS,,(P0182-BEGDA),(P0185-ENDDA)/D
*Insert infotype 0702, subtype PASS using the Begin Date and Date from infotype 0182 subtype 02


P0702-BEGDA=P0185-BEGDA
* Copy Start Date of infotype 0185 to infotype 0702


P0702-ENDDA=P0185-ENDDA
* Copy End Date of infotype 0185 to infotype 0702


P0702-DOC_COUNTRY=P0185-IDCOT
* Copy the country ID field from infotype 0185 to document country field in infotype 0702


P0702-DOC_NUMBER=P0185-DOCN1
* Copy the document numbers field in infotype 0185 to document number field in infotype 0702


P0702-ISSUE_DATE=P0185-FPDAT
* Copy the date of issue field in infotype 0185 to issue date field in infotype 0702


P0702-ISSUE_PLACE=P0185-ISSPL
* Copy the issue place of the document from infotype 0185 to infotype 0702


P0702-ISSUE_CTRY=P0185-ISCOT
* Copy the issue country of the document from infotype 0185 to infotype 0702
