MySAP ERP




Logging on


The SAP System is a client system. The client concept enables the joint operation, in one system, of
several enterprises that are independent of each other in business terms. During each user session you
can only access the data of the client selected during the logon.
A client is, in organizational terms, an independent unit in the system. Each client has its own data
environment and therefore its own master data and transaction data, assigned user master records and
charts of accounts, and specific customizing parameters.
A user master record linked to the relevant client must be created for users to be able to log on to the
system.
To protect access, a password is required for logon.
The password is hidden as you type (you only see asterisks).
SAP systems are available in several languages. Use the Language input field to select the logon
language for each session.

@Victoria University
@Victoria University
Multiple logons are always logged in the system beginning with Release 4.6. This is for security as
well as licensing reasons. A warning message appears if the same user attempts to log on twice or
more. This message offers three options:
Continue with current logon and end any other logons in the system
Continue with current logon without ending any other logons in the system (logged in system)
Terminate current logon

small flag will appear with the name (or function) of that icon. You will also see the corresponding
function key. The application toolbar shows you which functions are available in the current
application.
Title bar: The title bar displays your current position and activity in the system.
Status bar: The status bar displays information on the current system status, for example, warning and
error messages.



SAP Easy Access Menu
SAP Easy Access is the standard entry screen displayed after logon.
You can also create a Favorites list of the transactions, reports, files and Web sites you use most.
You can add items to your favorites list using the Favorites menu option or by simply dragging &
dropping them with the mouse.

Selecting Functions
You can select system functions in the following ways:
Use the mouse to choose
Menu options
Favorites
Other options in the tree structure (tree control)
Use the keyboard (ALT + the underlined letter of the relevant menu option)
Enter a transaction code in the command field:
A transaction code (T-Code) is assigned to each function (not each screen).
You can access the assigned transaction code from any screen..
You can find the transaction code for the function you are working in under the Status option of the
System menu.
For example, to display Accounts receivable master data, enter /n and the appropriate transaction
code (in this case /nfd03).
Other possible entries:
/n ends the current transaction. /i ends the current session.
/osm04 creates a new session and goes to the transaction specified (SM04).
You can also use the keyboard to get to the command field. Use the CTRL + TAB key combination
to make the cursor move from one (input) field group to the next. Use TAB to move between fields
within a group.

Use F1 for help on fields, menus, functions and messages.
F1 help also provides technical information on the relevant field. This includes, for example, the
parameter ID, which you can use to assign values to the field for your user.
Use F4 for information on what values you can enter. You can also access F4 help for a selected field
using the button immediately to the right of that field.
If input fields are marked with a small icon with a checkmark, then you can only continue in that
application by entering a permitted value.
You can flag many fields in an application to make them either required entry fields or optional
entry fields. You can also hide fields using transaction or screen variants or Customizing.

MySAP ERP HCM

The Human Resources Management System (or Human Capital Management HCM see
http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/erp/hcm/index.epx) in SAP consists of many
components which are capable of working together. These include:
Organisation. Management - allows you to depict your organizational and reporting
structures clearly by presenting you an up-to-date picture of your enterprises
organizational plan.
Personnel Management - allows you to assign employees to organizational units and
structures during the hiring process, as well as maintain important employee personal
data, such as change in cost center, salary, address, etc., throughout the employees life-
cycle at the company.
Recruitment - enables you to optimize the recruitment process triggered by vacant
positions by linking a companys organizational process: from organizational and job
planning to mailing letters of rejection or acceptance.
Personnel Development - enables you to plan and carry out personal development
requirements such as Career and Succession Planning and tracking of Development Plans
based on the needs of the enterprise and the employee.
Training and Event Management - enables you to plan and administer business events,
resources, attendees and fee settlement. Through integration with other components you
are able to streamline internal processes and extend and update employees skills and
knowledge.
Travel Management and Planning - integrates the processes associated with business
trips in the accounting, taxation and payment cycle. Employees also have the option of
carrying out online planning, posting and accounting tasks from the workplace.
Time Management - provides full functionality for management of time and leave
information in your organization including time collection and evaluation of time and
absence data for employees.
Payroll - covers all essential core payroll functions including earnings and deductions
processing, preparation of remuneration statements, bank transfers and follow-up
activities such as transfer of information to Financials.
Compensation and Benefits - provides you the necessary tools for strategic
remuneration and benefits package planning.
Personnel Cost Planning - enables you to track, maintain and predict costs for the entire
enterprise.
Employee Self-Service - a set of easy to use components that empower employees to
view, create and maintain their own data via the Intranet.

Structures in Human Resources

The task of the Human Resource Management System is to depict the organisational hierarchies and
relationships between employees in your company and to allow you to store and manage employee data to
produce timely and relevant information. Every employee is included in the structure of the company.

One of the first steps in the implementation of the HRMS involves mapping the structure of your
company onto the organizational units of SAP-HCM. This structure mapping must ensure that all HR
business processes can run smoothly, using the SAP-HCM as efficiently as possible the requirements for
internal and external reporting are met. A Business Process is a commonly used term to describe a group
of functions and tasks to deliver a good or service. Examples of Business Processes in HR include:




In SAP HCM there are 3 different types of structure which must be mapped. These are:
Enterprise Structure
Organisational Structure
Personnel Structure




11
@Victoria University
@Victoria University
Enterprise Structures

Different types of organizational units are available for the purpose of depicting enterprise structures in
the system. For the implementation of the system, the required number of organizational units must be set
up. Finally, the relationships between these units must be established. The enterprise structure for
personnel administration can include a number of levels.

SAP AG 1999
Enterprise Structure: Example
ABC
International
BHP
BHP
Mining
BHP
Steel

Client
A client usually refers to a company code. This could be a single company or an entire corporate group
where more than one company code exists. The company code is defined in accounting. Legally required
financial statements such as balance sheets and profit and loss statements are created at the company code
level. Each personnel area must be assigned to a company code.
Company Code
This could be used the same as a Client if there is only one company code in the system otherwise it
identifies each company in the structure.
Personnel Area
A personnel area is a Personnel Administration-specific unit and is the subunit of the company code.
These areas could be based around different locations. For example Sydney, Melbourne, Perth etc.
Personnel Subarea
Personnel Subareas represent a further subdivision of the personnel area. The principal organisational
aspects of human resources are controlled at this level, namely the pay scale and wage type structures and
the planning of work schedules.
Personnel Structures
Describes an employees position in a company from the individual employees view. For administrative
purposes, Personnel Structure can be divided into three elements:
Employee group
Employee subgroup
Payroll accounting area
These groupings assist with the allocation of work schedules and remuneration.




12
@Victoria University
@Victoria University
Employee Group
Employee group is a general division of employees. It defines the relationship between an employee and a
company and the type of work the employee is involved in. The main employee groups in Personnel
Administration are Active employees, Pensioners and Early retirees.

Two advantages of using Employee Groups are that:
Default values can be set for payroll accounting area and basic pay, for example, according to
employee group.
The employee group is used as a selection criterion for reporting.

Employee Subgroup
The Employee Subgroup is a division of employee groups according to the status of employees. For
example the Employee Group Active could be further divided into the Employee Subgroups of: Wage
earners, salaried employees and non pay scale employees.

The Employee Subgroup grouping allows you to define different payroll procedures for different
employee subgroups; for example, you can specify whether an employees pay should be accounted on an
hourly or monthly basis. Further examples of Employee Subgroup are depicted below.



SAP AG 1999
Employee Subgroup
Employees are differentiated further within the employee group.
Active employees are differentiated according to their status - trainee,
hourly wage earner or salaried employee, for example.
Active Active
Trainee
Hourly wage
earner
Non pay-scale
employee
Salaried employee



13
@Victoria University
@Victoria University
Payroll Accounting Area
The payroll accounting area is an organizational unit in the Human Resources. Based on an organizational
assignment criteria, all of the employees who are accounted simultaneously in the payroll are assigned to
the same payroll area.

As a rule, the payroll is run for payroll areas. The following information is provided for payroll via the
payroll accounting area:
the number of employees for whom a payroll accounting run is to be run
the specific payroll dates




Organisational Structure
The organisational structure depicts the hierarchy that exists between the various organisational units in
your enterprise. You create the organisational structure by creating and maintaining organisational units
and relating them with one another. Organisational units can be defined as functional or regional
departments, or more specifically as project groups, depending on the type of organization you have.
There are a number of different Objects which are used to define a companys Organisational Structure.
These include:
Organisational Units
Jobs
Positions
Persons

Job
A job is a general classification of task areas (e.g. head of department). A job is a standard description of
an activity that can be performed by a person. A job is usually made up of a number of tasks. A job is
just a description and does not have employees assigned to it.

Job titles should be made as general as possible such as secretary, buyer, lecturer etc.

@Victoria University
@Victoria University
Position
A position is an individual employee assignment in a company (e.g. head of marketing department, head
of personnel department). Once you have created a job, you must specify the number of corresponding
positions required in the organization.

As a Position is based on a Job it inherits the jobs tasks. However you can also define additional tasks
related to duties performed specifically by that position. Positions, rather than jobs, are held by
employees. For example

One position may also be shared by a number of employees, each working less than full time. For
example, two employees can hold 60% and 40% of a position.

Cost Centres
Cost Centres can be related to either Organisational Units or Positions and are maintained in the Financial
Accounting area.

@Victoria University
@Victoria University
Tasks
Tasks are individual duties and responsibilities that must be undertaken by employees. They can be
allocated to either a Job or Position. All tasks are contained in a Task catalog. The Task Catalog lists all
tasks that exist in a particular period. Remember a Job is made up of a number of Tasks and when a Job
becomes a Position the Position inherits the Tasks.



Person
Persons generally represent employees in your company. Persons hold Positions in the organizational
structure. Person characteristics are maintained in Personnel Administration and are linked to an
organizational plan through their position assignment.

A person can fill a Position 100% or partially. This depends on the number of working hours assigned to
the Position and on the persons work schedule.

The relationship between the various Objects in the Organisational Structure can be displayed in the
diagram below.




HR Structures in SAP-HCM

Implementation

To implement HR you must have a thorough understanding of how your firm operates in order to
develop organizational plans. It is advisable to invest time researching the different areas of your
firm, before beginning plan development. In particular:

o You must be thoroughly acquainted with the organization structure at your firm, and
how the different areas work together.

o You should be aware of all of the different types, or categories, of jobs performed at your
firm.

o You should be aware of how many individual positions fall within the different job
categories you have identified.

o If you plan to use tasks, you should develop easily recognizable descriptions for tasks.
You should also identify any groups of tasks that are routinely performed together, so
that they can be catalogued as a task group.

o If you plan to use work centres, make sure you determine any restrictions or requirements
associated with different work centres. For example, a physical examination may be
required for certain work centres.


Scenario

The (Your name) Bicycle Company sells bicycles and accessories. The company is made up of a head
office, an administration department and sales departments in different locations. A year ago, the
company decided to restructure the existing IT systems. The company decided to replace the old system
with the SAP-HCM. All components were implemented at the same time.

You have been a human resources administrator at the (your name) Bicycle Company for a number of
years. This means that you are responsible for any tasks assigned to the Human Resources Department.
Up until now, you have not had a significant involvement in setting up the system however you have now
been allocated that role. You will be using this case study throughout the remainder of the semester.
This SAP-HR system is an Australian version.

Enterprise Structure
The Enterprise Structure of the company can be illustrated as below.



You now need to map this Enterprise Structure in SAP-HCM.

Tasks, Jobs and Positions

The next stage in implementing your SAP HRMS is to assess the differing roles employees
perform in the company and mapping these in the SAP system. There are three different
structures which describe these roles. These are Tasks, Jobs and Positions .

Tasks
For human resources purposes, tasks are individual duties, responsibilities, or assignments that
employees are required to perform, for example, answer phones or design publications. You can
use tasks to describe jobs and positions also they can be used as a point of reference for
developing qualifications.

Jobs
A job is a general classification, such as Secretary, Computer Programmer, Instructor etc. Many
people at your company could hold the same type of job. For example, there may be 20 people
whose job is Secretary. You may create as many jobs for an organizational plan as you wish.
Once a job is created, you describe all of its attributes by defining its information which is
referred to as infotypes. Anyone who holds a job automatically inherits the infotype settings,
attributes and properties of the job.
A job is made up of a number of tasks. For example the Job, lecturer could include the
following tasks:
Prepare and deliver lecture material
Construct and perform student assessment
Be available for student consultation

(Your name) Bicycle Company


27
@Victoria University
Now you have established your enterprise structure, you need to create positions such as
Managing Director, Sales Officers, etc. Before creating these positions you must create jobs
and tasks. Each position = one job; many positions can relate to one job.


Creating a Job



1. Choose Goto Job Profiles from the menu bar to display list of existing jobs.





You will notice that some of the Jobs have a next to it. This indicates that a number of tasks
have been allocated to that particular Job.

For example, the 123 Human Resource Administrator job in the screen above.:

4. Click to save the newly created Job.

You are returned to the Job Profile screen.

Allocating Tasks
You have just created a new Job but at the moment it does not include any of the specified
Tasks.
(Your name) Bicycle Company


29
@Victoria University
For human resource purposes, tasks are individual duties, responsibilities or assignments that
employees are required to perform. For example, answer phones, design publications, evaluate
prospective employees and develop software are all samples of tasks. Tasks allow you to
achieve different objectives. You can use tasks to describe jobs. This is done by creating and
maintaining tasks, and creating relationships between the tasks, and jobs.
You may create as many tasks as you wish. It is possible to create single tasks or task groups.
Single tasks are individual task entries like develop department budget, evaluate new equipment,
answer phones, and so on. Task groups are a collection of tasks that are routinely performed
together, or that are affiliated in some way. For example, you could create a task group called
Secretarial Tasks. The group could include the single tasks of word processing, answer phones,
filing. Or, you could create a task group called Computer Programming. The group could
include the single tasks of consult with users, develop flowcharts, write code, design forms, and
so on.
Task groups are advantageous since they save you time when you create relationships between
jobs and positions. (It is faster to create a relationship with one task group, than with several
single tasks.) Task groups are created by creating relationships between the single tasks
involved.
All tasks are contained in what we call a Task Catalog. The Task Catalog itemises all tasks
that exist, during a specified period of time. It also shows the inter-relationships that exist among
different tasks, when task groups have been defined.

5. Click until you find the HR Administrator Job you just created.

6. Click your HR Administrator Job to select it..

7. Click to display the available tasks

The following screen appears to search for a particular task.

Positions

The next stage of defining your Organisational Structure is allocating Jobs to
particular areas of the company. This allocation of Jobs results in Positions being
created.

Positions are one of the objects that make up an organizational plan. Positions are the
individual employee assignments within a company, for example the Manager of
Sales, Secretary for Purchasing Administration, Junior Engineer for Manufacturing,
and so on. They are often confused with Jobs.

A job is a general classification of duties that must be performed. For example, you
might create the job of Secretary. Many people at your company could have the same
job classification. For example, there may be 20 people whose job is Secretary, 10
people whose job is Manager, and only one whose job is Chief Executive Officer.
Alternatively, positions are individual employee assignments, for example, Secretary
of Marketing, Manager of Human Resources, and so on.

Jobs are typically used as a foundation for creating positions. Usually you create
positions by copying jobs. Any attributes you have defined for the job are
automatically carried over to the different positions.

Previously you identified the following Jobs within (Your name) Bicycle Company.
When these Jobs are allocated for the particular location, they then become Positions,
e.g. Managing Director (Head Office).

You are now going to create the 2 Office Administrators Positions at Head Office.
To create the positions:

1. Choose Goto Staff Assignments from the menu bar.

Your Enterprise Structure appears on screen.

2. Click Head Office and Corporate Services to select it

WORKSHOP NOTES B
EMPLOYEE MASTER DATA

The next stage of implementation is to enter Employee Master Data into the R/3
system. In this stage of implementation for the purpose of entering their data into the
system you perform the same actions as if you were Hiring a new employee.
Infotypes
When you hire a new employee in your company, you initially have to enter a large
amount of data. These things would include personal details, banking details, tax
details, employment details, qualification details, family details etc. In the R/3
Human Resource Management System similar employee data are stored in Infotype
records. For example the different address details include a number of different data
fields( street, suburb postcode etc.) and these data fields are stored in the Address
Infortype. The different Infotypes are identified through a name and as well as a 4-
digit number.


The Infotype is displayed to the end user in the form of a data entry screen.
Therefore all the data relevant to the Address Infotype appears on the same screen
for editing.
When you hire an employee, you maintain a lot of different infotypes.

@Victoria University
Hiring Employees

Any action you perform on an employee is referred to as a Personnel Action. The
Personnel Actions function groups all of the Infotypes together that must be
maintained when a particular human resource process is performed, such as when an
employee is hired, or when an organizational reassignment occurs. Each Personnel
Action contains the Infotypes for which data must be entered for the human resource
process in question, and displays them one after the other for you to maintain. This
ensures that all of the information relevant to the process is entered in the system.
This function also makes it easier for you to enter data, because it prevents you from
having to access each individual Infotype.

After you have saved a record, the system displays a new Infotype for you to process.
When you perform an action, you may want to skip a particular Infotype without
entering any data, or even cancel the action. At the end of the sequence, the system
returns to the initial screen after saving




The data which is displayed in the infotypes and the order they appear can be
customised to the company and the country requirements.

2. Double Click to display the screen.
The screen appears with a list of Personnel Actions displayed:



Personnel number assignment
When hiring an employee, each employee must first be assigned a personnel
number. This personnel number is either assigned manually or automatically by the
system. You can set up the system so that it performs automatic assignment. If the
system was set up to use internal number assignment, the system will suggest the
next free number as the personnel number. If you have external number assignment,
you must enter a number that has not been allocated already.

You will need to type a number in the Personnel No. field as system will not
automatically generate a number.

Hire Date
The hire date (the start date of the validity period) is an important date for many
personnel procedures, for example, it is used to determine seniority and for payroll
accounting. You should enter the date on which the employee entered the company
for the entry date. SAP will provide a default for the end date of the validity period in
the standard SAP system.
The default format for dates is dd.mm.yyyy. Use calendar to select date. At the
moment you are going enter details for an employee as they started working at (Your
name) Bicycle Company today.

Human Resource Management system, the employee's organization assignment plays
a key role. The organizational assignment determines which data can be entered in
the following Infotypes, (for example, for wage types, the organizational assignment
determines whether you can enter a salary for a salaried employee or an hourly wage
for an hourly paid worker) and as a result, determines the default values suggested by
the system.

WORKSHOP NOTES C

Recruitment
In terms of Human Resources the success of a company depends on such factors as
the quality and availability of personnel. It is particularly important for the
development and success of expanding companies that they have quick access to
adequate personnel. The process accessing the appropriate personnel is referred to as
recruitment.
The recruitment process involves a number of activities.



When a Position becomes free in a company, the first thing you must do is to find a
successor. This person can come from either within the company or externally. Vacant
positions are published in job Advertisements. A job advertisement involves the publishing
of one or more vacancies with the aim of attracting suitable applicants. You check the
applications that you receive in response to the advertisement. You can then rank the
employees using a profile matchup of the job requirements and the applicants' qualifications.
These applicants then go through a selection procedure, and a suitable employee is hired.

Applicant Selection.


Activities carried out for an applicant within a selection
procedure are entered, logged, and planned using
applicant activities. These activities are administrative
stages through which an applicant passes during the
course of the application procedure (such as Mail
confirmation of receipt, Mail invitation to interview).
When the SAP-HR module is configured and customized for a particular client certain
activities are created automatically for an applicant when you perform an applicant
activities. For example, if you invite an applicant for a job interview, the system
automatically creates the applicant activity Mail invitation to interview. You use this
activity to print a letter of invitation for the applicant. Also, when people apply for
vacancies they usually include some extra documentation. SAP R/3 has the ability to
scan these documents and create a link between the scanned documents and the
Vacancy data.
Once you have conducted the relevant interviews then you need to make a decision
about the vacancy.

The interview is only one part of the decision making process and the SAP R/3 can
record a large amount of data about the applicants and the vacancy to assist in the
decision making process.
