SAP R/3 Systems are client systems. The client concept enables the parallel operation, in one system, of
several enterprises that are independent of each other in business terms. The components SAP Business
Information Warehouse (BW) and SAP Knowledge Warehouse (KW) are exceptions to this: in these
cases only one client is used. During each user session you can only access the data of the client selected
during 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.
For a user to log on to the system, a master record must exist in the system for that user. To protect
access, a password is required for logon. The password is hidden as you type (you only see asterisks).
SAP R/3 Systems are available in several languages. Use the Language input field to select the logon
language for each session.
Multiple logons are always logged in the system beginning with SAP R/3 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:
y Continue with current logon and end any other logons of the same user in the system
y Continue with current logon without ending any other logons in the system (logged in system)
y Terminate current logon attempt
You can place your own text on the initial screen in a number of ways. For more information, see the
SAP Note mentioned above. The GuiXT (covered at the end of this chapter) offers a further option.

authorization, you can find a detailed description of the necessary settings by choosing Extras →
Administration Information. Note that this image is stored in the system and transported to the SAP
Frontend every time it is called by SAP Easy Access. Although this transfer is compressed, the image for
the initial screen should not be bigger than around 20 kB. You can prevent this image being called either
by using the setting Low Speed Connection in the SAPLogon program (see SAP Note 161053), or by
switching off the calling of the image under Extras→Settings. See also User-Specific Personalization.

A transaction code is assigned to each function in SAP R/3 Systems. You can access the assigned
transaction code from any screen in the system. For example, to display customer master data, enter
/n and the appropriate transaction code (in this case /nfd03). You can find the transaction code for
the function you are working in under the Status option of the System menu. 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 go to the command field. Use the CTRL + TAB key combination to

„
A Role describes a set of logically linked transactions in the system. These represent the range of
functions users typically need for their work.
„
User roles (previously “activity groups”) have to be set up using the Profile Generator so that SAP R/3
System users can work with user-specific or position-related menus.
„
The authorizations for the activities listed in the menus are also assigned to the users using user roles.
With Release 4.6, predefined user roles from all application areas are included in the standard system.
„
Users who have been assigned a user role can choose between the user menu and the SAP standard
menu.
„
The above screen shows the role-based user menu for a user with the name "Enjoy". You can find roles
that are supplied in the standard SAP R/3 System by choosing Other menu on the SAP Easy Access
initial screen.
„ Every enduser can personalize the initial screen using Favorites. You can create your own Favorites list
containing the transactions, reports, files, and Web addresses that you use most often.
„
You can add favorites either by choosing Favorites or by using the mouse to “drag & drop” items into
the Favorites directory.

For help on fields, menus, functions, and messages, use F1.
F1 help also provides technical information on the relevant field. This includes, for example, the
parameter ID, which you can use to assign values for your user to input fields , which have to refer to
these parameter IDs.
„ For information on what values you can enter, use F4. 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 mark many fields in an application as either required
entry fields or optional entry fields. You can also hide fields and preassign values using transaction or
screen variants or Customizing.

The end user has many possibilities for personalizing the system. Some are described below:
y You can alter the layout of your initial screen under Extras → Settings, for example by switching off
the image in the right-hand part of the window or by turning on the option to display the technical
names (transaction codes) in the SAP Easy Access Menu.
y Among other things, you can activate a quick cut and paste in the Options menu. Using Options you
can change the reaction speed of the QuickInfo that is displayed when you hold your mouse cursor
over an icon or a push button.
y By following the path System→ User profile→ Own data, you can set personal standard values. You
can choose the tabs Address, Defaults, and Parameters. As an example, the setting of Parameters is
explained here:
- Parameters: Here you can set defaults for frequently used input fields. In order to be able set a
default value for a field, it must have been assigned a Parameter ID.
Procedure for finding the Parameter ID: Go to the field for which you wish to set a default
value. Select the F1 help, and then choose Technical Info. The system displays an information
window that contains the relevant parameter ID under the heading Field Data (as long as the field
has been assigned a Parameter ID).

Use the Table Settings function to change, in the table control, the individual basic table settings that are
supplied with the system. This is particularly useful for tables where you do not need all the columns.
You can use the mouse to drag & drop column positions and widths, or even make the column disappear.
„
Save the changed table settings as a variant. The number of different variants you can create per table is
not restricted.
„
The first variant is called the basic setting; the SAP System defines this setting. You cannot delete the
basic setting (you can delete the variants you define yourself).
„
The table settings are stored with your user name. The system uses the variant currently valid until you
exit the relevant application. If you then select the application again, the system will use the standard
settings valid for this table.
„
Note: you can change table settings wherever you see the table control icon in the top right-hand corner
of a table.

„
SAP R/3 Systems offer numerous options for settings and adjustments:
y Define default values for input fields
y Hide screen elements
y Deactivate screen elements (dimmed)
You can do this by, for example, defining transaction variants.
„ SAP offers GuiXT, as of SAP R/3 Release 4.6. In addition to all of the above functions, you can now:
y Include graphics
y Convert fields and add pushbuttons and text
y Change input fields (or their F4 help results) into radio buttons
„ GuiXT scripts are stored on the Frontend. In accordance with local scripts (which can also be stored
centrally), the GUIXT scripts determine how data sent from the application server is displayed. These
scripts can be standard throughout a company, or they can be different for each Frontend.
„ NOTE: The GuiXT will support the mySAP.com Workplace only as of the end of the year 2000. This
means that until then you should use either the SAP GUI for the Windows Environment and the GuiXT
or the mySAP.com Workplace with the SAP GUI for HTML (or the SAP GUI for Java or the SAP GUI
for Windows).

Overview of Benefits
Employer
Benefits Plans
etc.
Employee
© SAP AG 1999
„
In some countries, it is normal for the employee to participate in benefit plans offered by the employer.
Companies frequently offer benefits packages at a reduced rate to employers. This results in
considerably cheaper contributions for the employee, than those they would have to pay, were they to
enroll privately. Employees enroll themselves in these plans and receive varying benefits, according to
the varying plans. Either the employer or the employee, or both, pay the contributions; this varies from
case to case.
You can put together varying plans for different employees depending on many factors. You store the
restrictions and eligibility in the implementation guide. Therefore the processing of an employee’s
benefits is made very easy

Within Benefits, the system enables you to differentiate between different forms of enrollment.

This is an annual process whereby the employee selects the plans which are available to them once a
year or change existing enrollment plans.
y Enrollment Based on an Adjustment Reason (work/life event)
Work/life events such as initial hire, birth or marriage allow an employee to enroll or change benefit
options
y Default or Automatic Plans
For example, when an employee is hired, he/she can be enrolled into a standard plan (until he/she has
completed their probationary period); for the time being, this offers a minimal number of benefits.
y Enrollment at any time:
The employee can enroll themselves for the plans that they are eligible for, or change existing plans at
any time.

Before you enroll employees in benefits, specific records in master data and benefits must be in place.
At a minimum, you must have the Actions (0000), Organizational Assignment (0001) and Personal Data
(0002) infotypes in place in master data. You may need additional infotypes for cost calculations such as
Basic Pay (0008) if cost is based on salary.
„ You must have the General Benefits Data infotype (0171), and if enrollment is due to a work/life event
an Adjustment Reasons infotype (0378) must be in place as well.
y In the General Benefits Data (0171) infotype, you store employee’s assignment to a benefit area, first
and second program grouping. The benefit area represents a subdivision, e.g., according to regional or
organizational point of view. The program groupings are employee subdivisions, e.g., according to
employee subgroup or employment. You can overwrite these subdivisions, but how they interact
determines eligibility. The General Benefits Data infotype appears and containing default values
already in place.
y The Adjustment Reasons (0378) infotype is used to store the reason why the employee can make
changes to their current benefits.
y Note: You may also be required to maintain the Medical Benefits Data (0376) infotype in some
countries.
„ You should include the necessary infotypes in your Hiring personnel action.

programs with different options for employees. Depending on an employee’s data, he/she will be eligible
for one of these programs.
„ A program is a restricted list of plans (made up of benefits) for a certain group of employees.

Positions have certain requirements that must be
met, and employees have certain qualifications
and skills. These requirements and qualifications
have to be entered in the system so that they
can be compared (matched up) with each other.
Employees can obtain additional qualifications
and in this way be trained for other positions.
The performance of employees is appraised
regularly.
Employees with qualification deficits can be
booked into business events (training courses)
that provide the employees in question with the
qualifications they require.
Suitable development plans can be drawn up
for employees.

The Personnel Development component allows you to maximize the value that your employees provide
to your company. You can plan and implement specific personnel and training measures to promote the
professional development of your employees. You can also increase the job satisfaction of your
employees by considering their preferences and suitability for their jobs. In this way, you can ensure that
employees in all functional areas of your company are always qualified to the required standards.
The personnel development requirements of an organization are determined by comparing the current or
future working requirements with the qualifications (and preferences) that your employees already have.
The aim of a development measure can be specific (for example, an employee is to be transferred to a
specific post), or more general (for example, ensuring that employees are sufficiently qualified to keep
up with technical developments).
Qualifying actions (training courses, job rotation, etc.) can be grouped together into development plans
(e.g. “trainee program for sales staff”). This is referred to as a general development plan because it
applies to employees in general. These general development plans can be tailored to the needs of
individual employees.
An employee's performance and behavior can be appraised. The results of such an appraisal can supply
information for planning the employee's further career development.

The Planning for Organizational Unit function allows you to restrict your view to one organizational
unit. You can access the relevant change, display, and reporting functions of Personnel Development
directly.
You can specify a permanent default organizational unit in user parameter PEO. You can also specify
one temporarily by making user specific settings in the Personnel Development menu. These user
specific settings make data entry faster and more user friendly.
Other Personnel Development parameters:
- PEH: Disregard depreciation meter PEM: Include essential requirements
- PES: Include alternative quals
POP: Plan version
- PEO: Specify default org. unit BEG/END:
Start and end date
If you do not change these user parameters, you can ensure that all of the data evaluations performed by
one user have been performed using the same settings (and, consequently, that they can be compared
with each other).

Qualification Requirement

Qualifications can, for example, be assigned to employees and positions. However, if, for example, a
qualification is assigned to a position, it is referred to as a “requirement.”
All qualifications (and requirements) are stored in a central catalog. In fact, qualifications and
requirements are the same objects - they are referred to by different names to show how they are applied.
This means that it is possible to compare an employee's qualifications against the requirements defined
for a position.

Qualifications
© SAP AG 1999
The qualifications catalog contains all the qualifications (object type Q) that are of interest to an
organization. The qualifications catalog contains qualification groups and qualifications.
Qualification groups are used to structure the qualifications catalog. A qualification group can contain
other qualification groups, and qualifications. Qualification groups have object type QK.
Qualifications can contain other qualifications. Qualifications are assigned to persons, jobs, positions,
etc.
You can create your own quality scales so that you can record the proficiencies of qualifications. The
user defines the number of entries on a scale, and the proficiency texts that you want to use.
You must assign a proficiency scale to every qualification group. This scale is then passed on
(”inherited”) to the qualifications of the group in question.
You can assign one or more alternative qualifications to a qualification. The relationship that is created
is bi-directional (if A is an alternative to B, then B is also an alternative to A). You can also specify the
extent to which one qualification replaces another as a percentage value.
You can only define qualification A as an alternative to qualification B if both A and B use the same
scales. (If they use different scales, then presumably they are so different that they could not be used as
alternatives anyway). If qualifications have different scales, they cannot be compared against each other.

Notes
© SAP AG 1999
You use a profile to store special information about a person. Every profile contains some standard
information (such as name, date of birth, and so on), and a number of subprofiles (qualifications,
potentials, for example).
The Qualifications subprofile is used to store information about a person's skills and abilities. You use
the qualifications catalog to create this subprofile.
The Potentials subprofile is used to store forecasts regarding a person's suitability and development
potential.
The Preferences subprofile is used to store information on how a person envisages his or her own
professional development. The Dislikes subprofile is used for the same purpose.

The Requirements subprofile is used to store typical requirements (including type of requirement, and
proficiency) for jobs, positions, and so on. You use the qualifications catalog to create this subprofile.
Essential requirements are requirements that are mandatory (that is, they must be met). You can use this
as a criterion when you try to find suitable persons for a position, for example. In this case, the system
will only select persons who fulfill all essential requirements.
The requirements of a job are passed on to the positions created by the job in Org. Management.
Any additional requirements can then be defined specifically for the position.

You can use this evaluation to find objects (persons, applicants, companies, and so on) with specific
qualifications. You can specify the exact proficiencies required for each qualification, and define criteria
to restrict the search to fewer objects.
Use this evaluation if you want to:
Find persons with specific qualifications
Select applicants with the appropriate qualifications
Identify companies or customers that fulfill specific criteria
Identify members in a team in a specific organizational unit who would be suitable for a particular
project
Identify employees in a personnel area who are overqualified or underqualified in certain respects
The system outputs a list of objects that fulfill the selection criteria specified.
For more information, refer to the SAP Library (Human Resources → PA Personnel Management →
Personnel Development → Qualifications and Requirements → Finding Objects for Qualifications).
This evaluation is also used in the Recruitment component.

Should a qualification deficit arise, you can have the system automatically propose a business event that
will eliminate this deficit.
If a business event is available, you can book the person onto this event directly. If not, you can create
prebookings to indicate that the person would like to attend a business event of this type.
Please note, you can also enroll an employee into a business event through a development plan.

Career Planning is used to find

that is suitable for a specific
employee.
Succession Planning is used
to find a suitable successor
for a position within the
organization.
© SAP AG 1999
Sometimes employees want to do something different and change their role in the company. In Career
Planning, the system proposes the jobs that would be suitable for an employee. You can display
positions also, and in this way find out if there is a requirement at present. Vacancies and staffing
periods are listed for the positions.
If a position is vacant, a suitable successor will have to be found. Succession Planning proposes persons
who might be suitable for the position.

Careers are generalized paths within an organizational structure (that is, they do not refer to specific
persons). Careers represent the main personnel development paths within an organization, and can be
used as a basis for implementing the Career and Succession Planning component.
A career contains a number of jobs and/or positions, and can extend across all of the organizational units
in an organization. Careers are objects in their own right. There is no limit to the number of careers you
can define within an organizational structure.
Careers are displayed and edited using SAP Network Graphics.
Career items are organized so that the items lowest in the hierarchy appear at the bottom. Items from the
same hierarchy level appear beside each other.

The business event preparation phase is the prerequisite for all of the subsequent activities carried out in
Training and Event Management. In this phase, you create data such as time schedules, locations,
resources, and of course, the business event groups and types that form the basic framework for your
business event catalog.
You then create your business event catalog: you schedule definite dates for events, you create events
with or without resources, and you plan events based on the demand that exists for them.
Once you have created your business event catalog, you can carry out day-to-day activities for the
events. You can make bookings for both internal and external attendees, prebook attendance, replace
bookings, rebook and cancel attendance. The accompanying correspondence is available for output for
each of the activities.
Recurring activities refers to activities that occur periodically such as firmly booking events, locking and
unlocking events, cancellation and follow-up processing.
There is an extensive array of reports available for the various areas of Training and Event Management.

You plan business events in the dynamic Planning menu. You use the Plan function when you want to
create multiple event dates simultaneously based on the demand that exists for them. You can plan as
many events as you want in a given time period. You can take account of various time-related conditions
and resource availability.
The planning process comprises two steps:
- Specification or determination of business event demand
Demand can be calculated automatically on the basis of the prebookings received for the event type
to date, the bookings made the previous year, or the demand figures from the previous year‘s
planning. Alternatively, you can specify demand manually.
- Planning business event dates
The system determines a number of date proposals for the event you want to plan taking your
calendar and resource specifications into account.
In the event that resource requirements are not fully covered on the proposed dates, you can make
manual adjustments to the reservation data.
The reservation plan provides you with a clear overview of the reservation status of individual
resources.

The business events on offer are organized into a hierarchical structure (the business event hierarchy)
comprising business event groups and business event types.
A business event group is a coherent grouping together of business events types with similar
characteristics. You can also combine several business event groups into a single business event group
(in other words, business event groups can be structured hierarchically themselves).
A business event type is a generalized description of a business event. You do not define specific dates
for a business event type. Business event types are assigned to business event groups.
A business event is a specific occurrence of a business event type on a specific date. A business event
inherits all of the characteristics of the business event type in question.
Attendance bookings are made for specific business events.

The data you create in your business event hierarchy is presented in a clearly structured way in the
dynamic menus. For example, the display of a business event group includes the underlying event
groups, event types, events, and attendees. At the level of the business event itself, the traffic light icon
provides you with information on the availability of places.
By defining filters and selection criteria, you can regulate in more detail the information displayed. For
example, you can specify a particular business event language, planned events only, or canceled events
only.
Prerequisite:
A structure comprising business event groups and types must exist.
By right mouse clicking on any object in the dynamic menu structure you access all functions that are
possible for the respective object (see example for Business Event).

You can initiate a search for any object that exists in the dynamic menu structure, such as event types,
events, attendees, resources, and resource types (in the dynamic resource menu and the master data
catalog), by choosing the “binoculars” icon in the menu bar.
It is not necessary that the structure is expanded for the search.
There are additional search options for some objects:
In the case of business event types, you can search on the description and also search on the basis of
objects related with the event type. You can for example search for a business event type by
specifying a certain qualification imparted or presupposed by it (see slide). Similarly, you can specifiy
the target audience to find the event type.
In the case of attendees, you can initiate an object type-specific search. For instance, you can search
for customers that are booked for events.
In the case of resources, you can initiate an object type-specific search in the master data catalog. For
example, you can search specifically for external instructors.
If the system finds multiple objects, it displays these for selection in a dialog box.
Once you select an object from the list or if only one object is found in the search, the structure of the
pertinent root object is expanded down to the respective object. The cursor is automatically positioned
on this object and the line is highlighted.

- Rebook attendances
- Cancel attendances
- Book attendance lists
You can use functions in the attendance menu at the following three levels:
At the business event type level, you can use the Prebook functions..
At the business event level, you can use the Book function.
At the attendee level, you can use the Rebook attendance, Cancel, and Replace functions. You can also
book at this level. If you do so, all of the dates that have been defined for the business event type are
proposed - just like at the business event type level.

If you want to register attendees for a business event, you book these attendees for the business event.
You can book individual attendees for the attendee types: person, user, external person, applicant and
contact person (single bookings) or you can book group attendees for the attendee types: company,
organizational unit, customer or interested party (group bookings).
You can book the different attendee types with different priorities, this is done using the booking
priority. You can use the booking priority to control whether the booking is an essential booking, a
normal booking or a waiting list booking. Once the optimum number of attendees (capacity) is reached,
you can only make essential bookings. Once the maximum number of attendees is reached, you can only
make waiting list bookings.
When you make a booking, a check is run to see whether an attendee is also an instructor on another
course at the same time and, as a result, cannot attend the course. A check is also run to see if attendance
of one course overlaps with attendance of another.
If integration with the Time Management component is active, the system checks if the person is

The Correspondence function enables you to output various notifications to business event attendees.
You can use a variety of output media such as printer, fax, screen, or e-mail.
Correspondence can be triggered automatically when certain functions (for example, Book attendance or
Cancel attendance) are executed. In Customizing, you define which output options should be used.
You can also trigger correspondence manually from the menu. You can trigger attendance-related
correspondence from the Attendance menu (and, of course, from the main Training and Event
Management menu). You can select the output medium on the data screen. On the screen that follows
this, enter the business event for which the correspondence is to be displayed, and execute the function.
The correspondence history is created for all correspondence (and output) in connection with activities in
SAP Training and Events that require notification. You can use this history to check what
correspondence has been sent to which recipients for which activities. The history also records who
triggered the correspondence output and when.

You can perform follow up activities once a business event has started.
Prerequisites:
- The status of the business event must be “firmly booked”
- The business event must not be canceled
- The business event must not have a historical record flag (see below)
Follow-up activities include the following:
- Transferring the skills imparted by a business event as qualifications to its attendees
- Deleting all attendance bookings
- Creating a relationship between the business event type and the attendee
- Historically recording the business event
- Printing attendance confirmations
Note: Which of these activities are performed will depend on the settings you have made in Customizing
for the Procedure infotype (1030). You can maintain this infotype for each business event type.
Caution: Once a business event has been historically recorded, you cannot undo this. In other words, you
cannot change business events if they have historical records!

The dynamic Information menu enables you to report on attendances, resources, and business events
directly from any level of the structure.
The advantage of the dynamic Information menu is that you do not have to enter the selection data for
the reports manually. The relevant data is taken directly from the structure.
If, for example, you want to find out the status of resource reservations for a particular business event,
you simply position the cursor on the relevant event, and run the report Resource list per business event.
You can generate a business event brochure that contains all of the business events on offer, or you can
create a brochure for specific business event groups or business event types. This business event
brochure can then be exported to Microsoft Word.

Development plans play an important role in personnel planning.
Development plans enable you to depict both generalized and individually tailored training programs.
You can use development plans to plan and manage both short-term and long-term personnel
development measures such as:
Trainee programs or apprenticeships
- Employee training events such as training courses, seminars, workshops, etc.
- On-the-job training, job rotation, etc.
- Individual development plans

© SAP AG 1999
Development plans are created and stored in the development plan catalog. You can create generalized
development plans which can then be used as a blueprint for creating measures within individual
development plans. Every development plan contains several development measures (items) as well as
information on the sequence in which these items should be passed through, how much time should be
spent on one particular item, and so on.
Examples of development plan items:
- Attending a business event
- Staffing a position
- Being deployed in an organizational unit
- Spending time at a particular location
You can structure the catalog by defining development plan groups. A development plan group is a
coherent grouping together of development plans with similar characteristics.
You use a graphical interface to create development plans.
You can create an individual development plan for each employee, and add to this plan constantly. One
way of doing this is to copy generalized development plans from the catalog, and then tailor these plans
to individual employees.

You can also specify that a specific number of items within the same step are mandatory without

An individual development plan is used as an instrument for planning and managing the personnel
development measures of an individual employee.
General development plans can be added to individual development plans to reflect the current
requirements of employees. The Individual Development Plan screen is used to tailor general
development plans to individual persons.
The general development plan is displayed as a graphic. You can insert items into the individual plan
simply by double-clicking. Items already selected are flagged correspondingly in the graphic.
As of Release 4.6, appraisal models can also be included as development plan items.

© SAP AG 1999
The Appraisal Systems component is a personnel development instrument that can be used to obtain
information on the characteristics, behavioral traits and performance of members of your organization
and form the basis for planning and making decisions that apply both to individuals, and to
organizational members in general. Appraisals can also be used to monitor the success of human
resource measures that have already been implemented. As a personnel development instrument,
therefore, they can be used both to evaluate the past, and plan for the future. It is also possible to use the
system to perform anonymous appraisals.
The Appraisal Systems component provides you with functionality for defining appraisal systems, and
for planning, performing and analyzing appraisals. An appraisal system is a self contained process which
enables you to make formal and standardized employee evaluations in a business context using one or
more templates (appraisal models). This gives greater objectivity in the employee evaluation process.
Examples of appraisal systems you can map in the Appraisal Systems component include:
- 360° feedback appraisals: appraisals that draw on diverse sources (supervisor, peers, and selfappraisals)
- Performance appraisals: appraisal of an individual employee
- Formalized work evaluation: certificates of employment, for example
- Surveys and questionnaires: employee opinion polls, for example

much faster and with greater ease.
By choosing the More appraisers and More appraisees pushbuttons, you can execute additional
functions such as Create more appraisers/appraisees, Change object type, Anonymous appraisers, and
so on.
During the preparation phase of an appraisal, the upper section of the screen is active. As has been the
case up to now, the preparation of the appraisal can be saved, changed again, and closed.
When the appraisal is actually being held, the lower section of the screen is active.

appraisal
© SAP AG 1999
Ideally, the appraisal process is a cyclical process that can be mapped using statuses. As a user, you will
only be able to identify this process by the way the user interface is designed:
1. Preparation of appraisal
The first step in the process involves preparing the appraisal. At this point, you define planning data
such as the period to be appraised, and the objects involved in the appraisal. As a basis for planning,
you can have the system propose data from an appraisal that has already been completed. When you
complete your preparations, this takes you to the next step in the process.
2. Holding of appraisal
This is where the appraisee is given ratings. The date on which the appraisal is held is recorded. You
can store text notes for each individual appraisal element. When you have held the appraisal, this takes
you to the third step in the process.
3. Completion of appraisal
This involves saving the appraisal with an historical record so that it can no longer be changed.

You can restrict your evaluation to objects that have not been appraisees or appraisers, or you can
evaluate objects with and without appraisals at the same time.
Objects can also have the status Without appraisal. This status always refers to a specific data
selection period, and is never ambiguous - that is, a given object has either been an appraisee (perhaps
several times), an appraiser, or neither).
You can also display any appraisals that already exist. This means, for example, that you can
determine who has already been appraised, who has been an appraiser, who has been neither, and what
the appraisals in question are (if there are any).
The evaluation for appraisals also contains two new selection criteria based on the appraisal statuses
Approved and Rejected. See: Personnel Development → Workflow → Approval of Appraisals.
For more information on the reporting options available for appraisals, refer to the SAP Library (Human
Resources → PA Personnel Management → Personnel Development → Appraisal Systems → Appraisal
Evaluations).
The results of the evaluation are output via the ABAP List Viewer. No further editing options can be
accessed directly from the output list. For more information on editing appraisals, refer to Personnel
Development → Appraisal Systems → Editing Appraisals.

Compensation Management uses information from different Human Resources components.
Budgeting and compensation administration is performed for organizational units as well as for
employees.
Compensation Management reads the employee's salary data from the Personnel Administration
component. This data is changed as a result of compensation administration. The Compensation
Management component can update the Basic Pay (0008) and the Additional Payments (0015) infotypes.
The changes made to an employee’s pay data are available in the Payroll component.
Compensation Management can also use information stored in the Appraisal System (Personnel
Development) so that you can award performance-based compensation adjustments.
Workflow can be used to support the approval and activation process for compensation adjustments.

The Compensation Management component controls and administers your organization's compensation
policies. This component provides a centralized view of the compensation policies as well as a control
mechanism to administer these policies. You can also use it to perform compensation planning and
budgeting and to perform decentralized compensation administration.
„ Compensation Management is made up of different areas
„ Within Compensation Management, you can perform job pricing. Here you can store results from
external job evaluation systems and market surveys. You can use these results to generate salary
structures that you can then assign to the jobs and positions in your organization. You can also use these
results to determine the internal worth of your jobs and positions and to see whether your salaries are
competitive.
„
„
You can assign evaluation points to your jobs and positions and use this data for reporting purposes.
Budgeting is used to plan and control how much is spent for compensation adjustments. Budgets are
assigned to organizational units. You can create budgets both centrally and decentrally. You can roll up
your budgets over the organizational units.
„ Compensation Administration is used to distribute salary increases, shares, etc. to individual employees
according to guidelines that reflect a company’s compensation policy.

Budgeting provides the basis for Compensation Management because the Compensation Management
component uses the budget values created for the organizational units. You can use these values to
determine compensation adjustments (for example, salary increases, bonuses, etc.) for the employees
whose compensation is under review. If you exceed the amount allocated in the budget, you get an error
or a warning message.
Budgets define the total amount of funds available to finance an organizational unit.
Budgeting has a roll-up feature that allows you to use a bottom-up process to submit the budget and a
top-down process to approve the budget.
You can create budgets in a hierarchical structure. You can create this structure analogous to your
organizational structure.
The Budgeting component has two display options that you can use when you display and change your
budgets:
Budget Distribution View
Displays the budget structures. You can only work with the budget objects in this view.
Financing View
Displays the budget structure and the corresponding organizational structure. In this view, you can
assign financed objects to the budgets and determine what the budget units finance.

Process Flow of the Budgeting Process
To be able to see which budgets are subordinate and which budget is the root budget, you need to create
a budget structure. You can also use the structure to determine which budgets finance which other
budgets. You can generate your budget structure from your organizational structure.
You can copy both the relationships and the values. You can also extend the validity of a budget..You
can either enter amounts or quantities for the individual budgets or you can enter the amounts/quantities
for the subordinated budgets and then use the roll up function. If you decide to use the roll up function,
that is the bottom-up process for budget planning, the system calculates what the superior budgets need
to finance the subordinate budgets.
You can now change the amounts by an absolute amount or a a percentage or both.
When you run the consistency check, the system checks to see whether the budget amounts assigned to
the superior budgets and the root budget is sufficient to fund the subordinate budgets.
If there is a deficit, the system displays an error log. You can correct the errors directly from the error
log.
When you have finished working through the error log and have rerun the consistency check to make
sure that your budget structure is now consistent, you can release your budget structure. The
Compensation Administration component can now use these budgets.

An adjustment reason determines why compensation is being planned and administered. The adjustment
is the actual change in compensation (for example, salary increase). An adjustment reason can be linked
to one or several adjustments. For example, the adjustment reason Salary Review could be linked to the
adjustments Bonus and Performance-based salary increase.
„ You can assign eligibility rules to the adjustment reason (for example, to determine who is eligible) and
a budget type (specifies what type of budget it is).
„ You assign the following to adjustments:
- Compensation area (for example, a country or an organizational grouping)
- Compensation component (types of compensation such as bonus, base pay)
- Category (fixed, variable)
- Guidelines (calculation methods used to calculate the adjustment. Guidelines can be based on fixed
amounts, percentages or you can use a matrix of up to three dimensions).

compensation component:
„ Adjustments that are fixed create a new Basic Pay (0008) infotype record.
„ Adjustments that are variable create either a Basic Pay (0008), an Additional Payments (0015) infotype
record, or Long-term incentives (00382).
„ The system creates a Compensation Adjustment (0380) infotype record per adjustment for each
employee. This infotype contains information on the adjustment and the compensation received.

When you define a compensation adjustment you specify the validity date of the adjustment, how the
effective date for the award is calculated, what wage types and guidelines are used in the calculation and
what results are produced.
The effective date of the award can be based on a fixed date, such as 01 January; anniversary date such
as Date of entry or Date of birth; or user-defined for other criteria.
When you specify how the award is to be calculated you specify the wage type that is to be used as the
calculation base.
The wage type which is used as the calculation base can consist of one wage type or more than one wage
type. For example you may want to award your employees a percentage bonus based on the 2 wage
types Salary and Location allowance.
You can specify if a guideline is to be used to calculate the result (optional).
If the compensation adjustment is variable or stock you specify the calculation result. This is the wage
type that is created as a result of the award. This wage type is also displayed in the Compensation

Guidelines are used by the system either to determine how a compensation award is to be calculated or
to set limits on calculation results.
There are three predefined guideline types: Fixed, Matrix and User-defined.
Fixed guidelines determine the average value that is to affect the employee. This could be a monetary
amount, a percentage or a number. The value can be used as a default and as a check limit during the
compensation administration process. As it is only a guideline the value can be changed by managers
and other users administering the compensation adjustments.
Matrix guidelines use a one, two or three-dimensional matrix to establish how the award is to be
calculated based on one criterion, two criteria or three criteria. For example a merit award could be
based on the two criteria of employee performance appraisal results and employee grade.
User-defined guidelines allow the customer to use other criteria when determining the award amount.
For example, the award could be based on external system data.
Guidelines are optional.

Eligibility Rules and Groups
z A rule specifies the criteria for employee participation
in a compensation adjustment. Each rule uses criteria
such as:
„ Hire date or length of service
„ Number of hours worked
„ Other: pay scale, pay grade, job, salary,performance
„ User-defined
z Eligibility groups further define eligibility criteria within
an eligibility rule.

„
When you create a compensation adjustment such as a merit increase, you can then specify who qualifies
to participate in the adjustment. If everyone in your company qualifies for the adjustment you do not
need to set up any qualifying rules.
If the compensation adjustment specifies qualifying criteria such as 3 months service you need to set up
a rule.
Qualifying criteria includes data such as hire date or length of service, number of hours worked and
ranges for pay scale, pay grade, job, salary and performance details.
For individual employees for whom you make an exception concerning qualifying criteria, you can use
the Compensation: employee eligibility infotype (0381). For example you may overlook the 3 months
length of service for some new employees.
You can use eligibility groups if you have differing criteria for some groups of employees. For example
to qualify for a bonus let us suppose that everyone must have 12 months service, with the exception of
Executive employees who only need to have 6 months service. In this case you set up 2 rules, one for the
group Executive and one for the rest of the company.
When you define a group you use a feature to link the group to your employees. You can use the
organizational assignment details such as employee subgroup.
You can also employ user-defined criteria with a user exit.

„ The Processor View
y This method allows you to either select the employees in the organizational unit(s) for which you are
responsible. In this case, you probably hold the chief position in this organizational unit.
Alternatively, you can use this method to select employees belonging to other organizational units,
that is, an organizational unit from a structure in which you do not appear.
„ Organizational Unit
y This method allows you to select one or more organizational unit(s) directly by simply entering the
name or identifier of the organizational unit.

Maintaining Compensation
y Once you have chosen an organizational unit, the system displays the employees in that organizational
unit. The department head does not appear in the list as he/she can only distribute the budget for
his/her employees and not for himself/herself.
y On this overview screen, you can select employees and maintain their compensation. You can apply
guidelines if you defined them when you configured your system.
In addition to this, you can increase the pay data by a percentage.
Finally, you can maintain the individual compensation adjustments directly for each employee.
y Adjustments go through an approval process. Once you have maintained the compensation
adjustments for the employees that you are responsible for, you must submit these proposals so that
they can be approved and activated. When the adjustments are activated, the system updates the
employees' master data records.

The absence type Leave is a subtype of the Absences infotype (2001).
Absence hours and absence days are calculated on the basis of an employee’s personal work schedule.
The calendar days are the number of days between the start and end date in the leave record.
The quota used is the number of days or hours deducted from an employee‘s leave entitlement.
Note:
You can only save this absence type if there is sufficient quota available. You can determine leave
entitlement for all employees at once using the report RPTQTA00 (Generating Absence Quotas).

Overtime is defined as any hours that an employee works over and above the planned working time
defined in his or her daily work schedule. You can record overtime hours in the Overtime (2005) or
Attendances (2002) infotypes.
You only record overtime hours in the Overtime infotype (2005) if you record deviations from the work
schedule exclusively. You can record overtime for one or several days and overtime breaks in this
infotype. For records spanning more than one day, you can define whether the record may be assigned to
the previous day using the previous day indicator.
You can determine whether overtime is payed or compensated with time in lieu by specifying the
overtime compensation type in the Attendances (2002) and Overtime (2005) infotypes.
You can use a subsequent screen to enter a different payment (premium, different pay scale group, and
so on) for overtime recorded, as for attendances. On another screen, you can enter an account assignment
for the overtime reflecting the cost center, if this is different to the master cost center, or the order.
If you have R/3 Time Recording implemented, overtime is calculated automatically from the full actual
times. In R/3 Time Evaluation, you can process different types of overtime calculation (daily, weekly)
and approval (for individual employees, dependent on work schedule, general).

In the calendar overview screen, you can display and maintain an employee‘s time data.
The annual calendar provides an overview of all absences and attendances for a 12-month period.
- Each day is represented by a one-character input field
- Attendances and absences are represented by a one-character identification code (abbreviation)
- If the codes are ambiguous (if you use different leave types, for example), the system requires you
to specify the subtype.
„ The monthly calendar provides an overview of all time infotypes for an employee for one month. It
displays the daily work schedules assigned via work scheduling and, if necessary, any exceptions to
them. The monthly calendar enables you to maintain other time infotypes in addition to attendances and
absences. You can branch to the list entry screen and choose the appropriate identification code for

In many industries, employees planned and actual working times can fluctuate, making it necessary for
working times to be recorded manually. A time administrator can enter this for employees if employees
do not do this themselves via a subsystem.
„ In order to respond to this need, the report RPTENT00, includes a new data entry screen which allows
Time Recording for Multiple Persons and Infotypes. You can use this report to record and correct the
following types of time data (infotypes) for several persons on the same screen:
- Absences in Absence infotype (2001), including quota deductions.
- Attendances in Attendance infotype (2002)

If an employee records his or her actual times at a time recording system, you can view the recorded
time events in the Time Events infotype (2011).
„ You can use the Time Events infotype (2011) to enter or correct time events that were not uploaded or
that were incorrectly uploaded to the SAP R/3 System. You can use list entry to enter several time events
for one personnel number at the same time.
„ The infotype contains information on the origin of the record (whether it was recorded manually or by a
subsystem) and on the terminal ID, for instance.
The infotype can also store information on a different payment (premium, different pay scale group, and
so on) or a different cost center. The information can either be entered manually or by a time recording
system.

Error handling displays all the messages from the last time evaluation run and all information from
earlier evaluations that has yet to be confirmed. You can restrict the employee selection according to the
Time Recording administrator.
„ Various messages are displayed, each highlighted in a different color depending on whether they are:
- Errors that cause time evaluation to terminate, for example, missing time postings
- Errors that do not cause time evaluation to terminate but set the recalculation date to the day with
errors, for example, if the working time was not finished when time evaluation was run
- Information relating to situations of note, for example, core time violations
- Notes (not highlighted) do not require postprocessing, for example, core time violations
„ Messages that have already been processed are flagged by an editing indicator. The messages can be
saved together or deleted individually.
„ You can branch to the document view by selecting a line. As in the overview list, you can create or
correct time infotype records, access the employee’s daily work schedule, and so on.

R/3 Incentive Wages allows you to easily enter, maintain, and evaluate data pertaining to the
performance-based compensation of your employees.
„ “Incentive Wages” is a generic term used for the following remuneration categories:
- In time wages, compensation is measured by the actual time expended. The amount of work
completed during that time is not taken into account.
- Piecework wages are instituted to create an incentive for the employee. Employees can influence
the total amount of their compensation by the number of items produced.
- In premium wages, employees influence the total amount of their compensation by achieving
quality- or quantity-based specifications. Premium wages are comprised of basic pay plus an
additional performance-based premium.
„ As the above remuneration categories depend upon the internal company requirements in place, you will
usually find several categories in use at the same time. Any combination of remuneration categories can
be set up in the Incentive Wages component.
„ R/3 Incentive Wages supports individual incentive wages as well as group incentive wages, both of
which can be operational at the same time.

Data for R/3 Incentive Wages is recorded as time tickets.
Standard values and actual values (confirmed values) recorded in R/3 Logistics can be transferred to R/3
Human Resources.
Confirmed values are either entered at a subsystem by each employee and then uploaded to the Logistics
component, or recorded there manually. Confirmations are transferred either as work time events or a
durations to the Incentive Wages component.
Summarized values (actual times, target times, and labor utilization rates) are available for evaluations
and time leveling even before the actual payroll accounting process begins.
R/3 Incentive Wages is an integrated element of R/3 Payroll Accounting. The time tickets recorded are
valuated when gross payroll is run.
Employees’ time tickets affect gross pay. Account assignment information is transferred to the Financial
Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) components.

Travel Management : Business Scenario
z You have booked your employee on an external
business event.
z Since the the employee must travel to attend the
event, he/she must enter a trip request; the
responsible travel assistant will then book the
needed resources and have the trip approved by
the approving manager so that the employee can
be reimbursed.
z The trip will then be accounted. The employee
will receive a statement and the expenses
incurred will be reimbursed.

The Travel Management application component includes all of the functions needed to process a
business trip, from applying to go on a trip, to approving the trip, to posting the trip expenses and, if
necessary, making corrections and performing retroactive accounting.
„ Human Resource master data, per diem rates, flat rates, a companies travel policy as well as recorded
trip facts all enter into trip cost accounting. Subsequent fevisions are also taken into consideration.
„ The accounting results can be forwarded to Financial Accounting (FI), to Human Resource Payroll, or
non-SAP systems. Payment by means of data medium exchange is equally possible.

the other for you to maintain. You can change or supplement existing HR master data at any time.
„ In addition, the Infotypes Address (0006) and Bank Details (0009) are necessary if you:
y want to generate vendor master records in FI for the corresponding personnel numbers in HR
automatically
y Utilize a form of data medium exchange.
„ You can use Infotype (0027) Cost Distribution to divide the total trip costs up, and then assign them to

A cost assignment different from the employee trip cost assignment guideline can be set for the entire
trip, stopovers, receipts and miles/kilometers traveled. Cost accounting receivers such as cost center,
order, WBS element, network etc. can be assigned.
„
If receipts are not given explicit cost assignments, the cost assignment specification of the stopover
assigned to the receipt applies for the receipt; if stopovers are not given explicit cost assignments, the
specification for the entire trip applies for the stopovers.
„
If the total of all percents is less than 100% when the cost distribution screen is closed, the unassigned
remainder is distributed according to the employee trip costs assignment guideline.

The trip accounting program enables you to perform accounting for all trips with the Approved and To
be accounted status.
„ For test purposes, you can perform accounting for individual trips. The end of the trip must not occur in
a future accounting period.
„ The accounting program uses trip data to calculate trip accounting results - particularly reimbursement
amounts - for a specific accounting period, which it then saves in file PCL1. The trips to be accounted
must end before the end date of the accounting period.
„ The accounting results can be transferred to Financial Accounting (FI), HR Payroll Accounting, or thirdparty systems. Payment can also be effected using a data carrier.

A company‘s personnel requirements are represented as vacancies in the recruitment process.
Vacancies are (either partially or completely) positions to be filled. These positions must be described as
vacancies so that they are recognized in the recruitment process.
„ If there is integration with Organizational Management, vacancies are created in the Detail maintenance
screen in Organizational Management. Infotype Vacancy (1007) is created for this position and filled
with the relevant information.
„ Note:
When you create a vacancy, you can also specify the ID code of the personnel officer responsible for the
vacancy. This will simplify data selection at a later stage.

According to the two types of selection procedures, there are two types of applicant status:
- Overall status
Refers to the actual status of an applicant in the company‘s overall selection procedure e.g,
processing, put on hold, or invited to interview.
- Vacancy assignment status
Refers to the actual status of an applicant for a particular vacancy.
„ Overall status is determined during the initial entry of applicant data phase and must be available for
every applicant from this point onwards. Overall status shows whether an applicant is involved in at least
one selection procedure (overall status could be processing, put on hold, or invite) or whether he or she
has been excluded from all selection procedures (overall status could be rejected or to be hired).
„ An applicant receives a vacancy assignment status as soon as he or she has been assigned to a vacancy.
If an applicant has been assigned to more than one vacancy, he or she has a vacancy assignment status
for each.

An applicant‘s overall status and vacancy assignment status generally change over the course of the
recruitment procedure. The recruitment procedure is completed when all the applicants have received
either the rejected or the to be hired status.
„ In certain cases, the overall status affects the vacancy assignment status.
„ Example:
If an applicant‘s overall status is rejected, then all of this applicant‘s vacancy assignment statuses must
also be rejected. Then, the applicant has been rejected for the whole company and can no longer take

The process flows that are carried out for an applicant are represented in the Applicant Actions infotype
(4000). These applicant actions can be:
„ process flows for data recording (e.g. Initial entry of applicant data, Recording additional data)
- process flows that change the applicant‘s overall status (e.g. Reject applicant, Put applicant on hold)
„ The most important information contained in the infotype is the overall status of the applicant (e.g.
processing, on hold, rejected). This is dependent on the latest applicant action carried out for the
applicant. For example, if the applicant action Put applicant on hold was performed for an applicant, the
applicant is designated the overall status on hold. In the standard system, a new applicant action infotype
record is created for every applicant action performed..

For every task (printing letters, transferring data) a report is executed to perform the task. This report can
be executed as often as is liked and tested. After the report has been successfully executed, a second
report sets the status of the relevant planned activities to completed. The relevant activities are then
completed and will no longer be selected the next time that letters are being printed or the next time data

Personnel Cost Planning is designed to support the organization's decision-making process, by allowing
you to:
- Determine the actual personnel costs
- Preview future personnel costs
- Project future personnel costs based on anticipated organizational changes and/or pay structure
changes.
„ Personnel Cost Planning is more accurate than many other cost planning tools because it can take
position vacancies into account. Personnel Cost Planning also has the ability to factor organizational
changes, such as staffing reductions or increases, into calculations. This ability is particularly helpful if
your organization plans an expansion,a downsizing or a general re-organization.
„ Personnel costs are extracted according to the organizational units within an organizational structure.
You can select a single organizational unit, a handful of organizational units, or the entire structure if
you wish. If you need to group certain organizational units into separate areas, for example, international
subsidiaries, you can arrange them into different scenario groups.
„ Cost planning itself is carried out by developing and comparing different costing scenarios. A scenario
contains a set of calculation results. The results may represent actual, previewed or projected costs, over
a specified length of time.

Payroll Results:

„
„
Select a cost planning method based on the goal of your cost planning analysis. To determine actual
costs, you should develop scenarios using either basic pay or payroll results as a source of data. These
two sources give the most accurate indication of actual costs.
To do comprehensive planning of personnel costs use projected pay as a source of data. Projected pay
provides more freedom to identify costs that personnel systems typically cannot handle. For example, a
manufacturing company may frequently have to replace equipment and therefore, may have to retrain its
employees. This company might want to include the costs of retraining its staff in the personnel planning
costs.
Note:
If you use the basic pay method, the system reads the data required for the cost calculations directly from
the Personnel Administration component. To do this, the system uses the wage types that are assigned to
the employees. (pure actual costs)
If you use payroll results, the system reads the data from an actual payroll run (pure actual costs)
Note:
You can use an SAP enhancement that allows you to delete information (for example, wage types) from
the basic pay or payroll results calculations. This enhancement also allows you to add customer-specific
information (bonus payments, etc.).

For the projected pay method, the system uses data stored in the Cost Planning (1015) infotype. You can
use this infotype to store personnel costs by assigning wage elements to different objects such as
organizational units, jobs, positions, work centers. Wage elements indicate the different costs that make
up the total amount it costs to employee staff. For example, wages, salaries, benefits, training costs, etc.
Wage elements can be indirectly or directly valuated. The value for indirectly valuated wage elements is
maintained in a customizing table, the value for directly valuated wage elements is maintained at the
specific object that produces costs.For directly valuated wage elements, you can enter the amount
manually. You can overwrite indirect wage elements.
„ When you run cost planning, you can display the cumulated costs for organizational units, costs centers
or cost objects.

If you want to add additional positions to an organizational unit, call up the organizational unit to see the
positions which have already been assigned to it for cost planning purposes. You can choose from this
list of positions to add additional positions and determine their validity dates from the cost planning
screen itself.
When you increase the value of a particular wage element, this increase is passed on to every object that
the wage element is assigned to. Increases like these are carried out on a percentage basis.
The increase applies to both direct and indirect valuations. In other words, the increase affects both wage
elements and default values and wage elements where values have been entered manually for specific
objects. The increase does not affect wage elements that are expressed as a percentage.
Any changes you make to wage elements are valid in the current plan scenario only. The original wage
elements remain unchanged.
The current amount column displays the new values and the reference value column displays the original
values.

Switch to SAP Business Graphics if you want to view a graphical depiction of the cost figures you are
working with. SAP Business Graphics displays cost element data in several graphic formats. You can
display graphics at the organizational unit, position or job level.
„ SAP Business Graphics displays both reference figures and actual figures in 3-dimensional bar graphs,
so that it is easy to perceive the differences between the two. It is also easier to perceive trends among
the different organizational units or cost centers you are working with.
„ SAP Business Graphics allows you to display plan information in various formats. You can also
customize views, fonts, color schemes, and so on via the menu path.
„ You can copy your graphics to the clipboard for use in other applications.

When calculations are complete, save the scenario.
Scenarios are subdivided into scenario groups. A scenario group is a self-contained calculation that
covers a specified area of your organization. A scenario group could be confined to, for example, the
Manufacturing division or the Sales department. Or, a scenario group could cover the entire
organization. It is up to you how you decide to subdivide your scenario groups.
„ When you save the scenario, make sure you enter a unique group name in the Scenario group field. If the
scenario group is the first scenario group in a new scenario, you must enter a two-character
alphanumeric code and a short text for the the scenario itself in the Plan scenario field.
„ For all the other scenario groups in your scenario, use the same scenario abbreviation but a different
group name in the Scenario group field.
„ Note:
In addition to this, you can interface to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to perform calculations using the
cost data. However, this feature is a one-way transfer only. The data can be exported into an Excel file
but cannot be imported back into the SAP R/3 System.

Cost planning data is released via the Personnel Cost Planning Administration function. The system
displays a list containing all the cost planning data that has been created. Simply choose the data that
must be released for transfer.
„ The transfer of cost planning data takes place in Controlling within the framework of cost center
planning. Controlling can also include the personnel cost planning data into the overall budgeting

When you post data to Controlling, the system displays a list of all the account assignment objects, for
example, projects, orders, cost centers complete with the cost items and the total amounts per account
assignment object.
To post cost planning data to CO, you must first release the plan scenario. The release process includes a
consistency check that checks to see whether the data is CO compatible. The system then determines the
necessary CO financial years and adapts the HR data so that it fits into the CO financial year.
The HR administrator can now post the results directly to CO by selecting a plan scenario complete with
controlling area and financial year and then choosing Plan scenario ® Transfer to CO ® Post (test run) /
Post
You can post the results in test mode first so that you can see what data will be sent to CO before you
send it for real.

By enabling employees to maintain their own data and to have access to their own information,
companies empower them to take responsibility and ownership.
This increases employee satisfaction and improves the accuracy of data.
„ Companies’ human resources departments are freed from many of the data entry and related customer
service activities.
„ Companies save money by reducing the costs of paper, postage and data entry time, and they save time
by eliminating bureaucratic processes that devour resources. There is also no need for expensive, timeconsuming training.

Phase 1: Project Preparation - The primary focus of Phase 1 is getting the project started, identifying
team members and developing a high-level plan.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint - The primary focus of Phase 2 is to understand the business goals of the
enterprise and to determine the business requirements needed to support these goals.
Phase 3: Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business and process
requirements identified in the Business Blueprint. You configure the system step-by-step in the work
packages Baseline and Final Configuration.
Phase 4: Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete testing, end-user training, system
management and cutover activities. Critical open issues are resolved. When you have successfully
completed this phase, you will be ready to run your business in your production system.
Phase 5: Go Live and Support - Transition from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to a
successful and live production environment.
The new ASAP Roadmap (available as of Release 4.6A), helps integrate all existing ASAP Roadmaps
into one "configurable" one. It is based on the products R/3, BW (Business Information Warehouse),
APO (Advanced Planner & Optimizer), CRM (Customer Relationship Management encompassing
Mobile Sales/Mobile Services), and B2B (Business to Business Procurement) and provides a single
implementation solution within ASAP for all SAP software.

SAP has developed Global ASAP as the standard implementation methodology for the global
implementation of SAP software. The basic concept of Global ASAP is to map all activities that do not
take place at local level onto a special structure called the Global Roadmap. This Roadmap is structured
according to the AcceleratedSAP principle and includes How-to's, accelerators, modeling methods and
tools. The Global Roadmap is linked to each Roadmap for projects at local level.
„ A global implementation strategy involves defining a pre-configured corporate system or global
template. The global template is the sum of all enterprise-specific configuration and Customizing
settings, and models that are included in one SAP System and provide a reference for live systems at the
global and local levels (individual companies and plants). This implementation approach is also referred
to as the global template rollout of the SAP System.
„ The Global ASAP Roadmap consists of four phases:
y Global Program Set-Up
y Global Business Blueprint
y Global Realization
y Global Maintenance & Support

The IMG contains all Customizing activities you need to implement application components.
You can create Customizing projects in an SAP System, to help structure and manage an implementation
project. You can also record cross-project documentation.
„ You can create an IMG for each project.
„ From a Project IMG you can work on Customizing transactions, project documentation, cross-project
documentation, and information on project management.

The IMG acts as a checklist of the Customizing activities that your enterprise should complete to
implement an SAP System. The IMG is hierarchically structured.
The structure of the IMG and the IMG tools (for example, allocating resources such as project members
and the MS Project interface) help your project team to work through the Customizing activities in a
rational sequence.
For the realization, you can divide the scope of the Reference IMG into different projects, which, in turn,
are assigned to Project IMGs. Use a Project IMG to work on Customizing transactions, project and
cross-project documentation, as well as information on project management.
You can create views to improve the structure of a Project IMG. You can use these views to edit
Customizing transactions, project and cross-project documentation, and information on project
management, in line with the Project IMG.
As of Release 4.6, you can use the ASAP-IMG link in the Q&Adb to create project views. This transfers
the project scope set in the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb) to the R/3 System. The views
generated by the ASAP-IMG link contain Customizing activities for the processes set in scope in the
Q&Adb.
To use the ASAP-IMG link, a Customizing project must already exist in the R/3 System.

System documentation and the ASAP Question & Answer database contain industry-specific
information and are the ideal places to start looking for information.
„ Model-based presentations of industry-specific business processes help you analyze the business
processes you have selected. Event-driven process chains (EPCs) are available for several industries (for
example, the automotive and pharmaceutical industries) and are integrated in the SAP Reference
Structure. A structure is available for each industry in the ASAP Question & Answer database, and helps
you to produce an industry-specific Business Blueprint (Phase 2 of the ASAP Roadmap).
„ Industry-specific Customizing involves integrating default Customizing parameters for a specific
industry in the IMG. SAP has documented this process in the IMG. You can use the Computer Aided
