Elements of the mySAP ERP HCM

Solution :

v  The Organizational Plan

You can use the organizational management to quickly and effectively map your organzational and reporting structure with relevan organizational objects. You can create an organizational plan, which is a comprehensive and dynamic model of the strucural and personnel environmental in your enterprise.

Some of the key terms used in organizational management are :

·      Organizational Unit

Organizational units describe the various business units in your organization. Several organizational units, aong with their relationship, make up the organizational structure. Organizational units can be divided according to functional or regional criteria, for example

·      Jobs

Jobs are general descriptions or templates that apply to several positions with comparable requirements, tasks, and characteristis.

·      Positions

Positions are the smallest organizational units of the organizational structure. They represent the distribution of tasks amongst individual employees in the organization. Positions are occupied by persons. A position inherits the tasks and requirements of the job from which iit was defined.

·      Persons

Persons occupy positions within the organizational strucuture. They represent the employees in your organization. Th eemployee data itself is maintained in Personnel Management.

·      Recruitment

You can use the recruitment component to carry out the entire recruitment process from entering applicant data to staffing a position. The applies both to external applicants, that is new hires, and to internal employees changing position. The staffing requrements are represented by vacancies.

A typical process in recruitment may involve the followings steps :

-          The vacant positions are published in job advertisements

-          The applicants data is entered in the system

-          A complex selection process takes place, culminating in a decision being made

-          The employement contracts are generated for the applicants who are to be hired

v  Personnel Managment

Integration between Recruitment and Personnel Administration enables the applicant data to be transferred as a employee data, which you then have to supplement. Employee data is stored iin mySAP ERP HCM as infotype records. The data can be displayed, copied, corrected, and deleted

You can maintain infotypes in various ways :

-          Single –screen maintenance (one infotype for one person)
