SAP business processes - HR

Hi gurus,
Can you please tell me where I can find standard SAP business processes (not any client specific) ?
For example, 1. Benefits - from enrollement, changes, termination.
2. Payroll - Hire employee, maintain pay roll area, payroll status, then maintain IT 07, 08 ,,, then run Payroll Run program(what is the program name), then how to transfer the results to FI.
3. Time - what are the infotypes maintained (why), then what/which is the time evaluation program, how the time results used in calculation of Payroll...
Please let reply if you have any general idea where to search for this (any module is ok)?
Can some one please help?
thanks,
Rupali.

Hi Rupali,
There is not really any such thing as "standard business processes". There are best practices, but generally these are not really documented. Business processes vary from business to business. SAP has functionality and the ability to adapt the system to meet many business process scenarios.
Best regards,
Luke

  • Automotive  - SAP business process certificate

    Hi everyone,
    I am a newbie to SAP and i am interested in BPM. I have a strong background in business analysis and project management but with little SAP implementation project experience.
    I am interested in the Automotive Industry to obtain the new SAP business process expert certification.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction in relation to the following?
    Automotive (CKD or OEM) SAP solutions/modules
    business process modelling tools in relation to SAP
    advice on how to break into the BPM career from an SAP perspective.
    Thanks
    Nader Hanafy

    Hi Hanafy,
    Giving a pointwise reply to ur queries. Hope this helps.
    Automotive (CKD or OEM) SAP solutions/modules- Please visit the link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/automotive. Ithink it will bea good starting point.
    business process modelling tools in relation to SAP- There are many modelling tools available but I would recommend ARIS which is mostly widely used. Please visit  www.ids-scheer.com
    advice on how to break into the BPM career from an SAP perspective. BPM is a very niceh area in conjuction to SAP projects. I hope u are aware of SAP  implemenattion phases. BPM is emerging as a must do step before business blueprinting which is the core of any implementation. ARIS can be well integrated with SAP solution Manager and SAP is promoting this in a very big way. there are sucess stories for these which I can share with you.

  • SAP business process maps for mySAP ECC6.0?

    Any idea how we can get the SAP business process maps for mySAP ECC6.0?  Is this imbedded in Solution Manager?
    Thanks,
    Phani

    Hello Phani,
    I suppose you are looking for the solution maps for mySAP ERP (which contains SAP ECC as a component). These maps are not contained in the SAP Solution Manager, but they are delivered with the SAP Solution Composer, an offline PC tool which allows you to browse and pre-scope your own solution (evaluating your solution). The tool itself including the latest solution map content is always available for download at the SAP Service Marketplace:
    <a href="http://service.sap.com/s-composer">http://service.sap.com/s-composer</a>
    You can also view the mySAP ERP - as part of the cross-industry maps -  right here:
    <a href="http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000338980&">http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000338980&</a>
    The SAP Solution Manager would then come into play for configuring the respective processes (implementing you solution).

  • Implementions of Business Processes in SAP

    Hi,
    A business process is a series of steps that is triggered by some action and produces some outcome.
    Business processes can be implemented in many ways. For example-
    Using ABAP programs (Transactions)
    Using a workflow, which in turn use Business Objects
    1) How can we know which Business Process is implemented using which method?
    For example, if we consider a purchase order being placed and it triggers a business process, how can we the way (ABAP Programs/Workflow) in the triggered business process is implemented?
    2) If the business process is implemented in ABAP Programs, is it possible to reimplement it in workflow (or vice versa) with minimal effort?
    3) I have a large set of questions regarding how sap business process works and I have put my thoughts in a word document. I would like some gurus to go thro it and help me. If you are willing to spend little time, please do post your email id or send an email to [email protected]
    Thanks in advance.
    Ananda Raja.

    Greetings Anandaraja-
    I'll only attempt to answer your question #1... 
    On a high level, I'd first start to look at SAP's Solution Maps for the different processes.   Please check out:
    http://www.sap.com/solutions/index.epx
    Click on the business maps link.  It should eventually lead you to the "Registration and Download" page for Solution Composer.  --> http://www.sap.com/solutions/businessmaps/composer/index.epx
    With this tool, you can discover the procurement or sales process you describe in <u><i>your</i></u> example. 
    SAP has quite a few generic enterprise solutions and <b>27</b> industry specific solutions.   I'm not sure you will find a guru who knows everything SAP has to offer. 
    In addition you can follow this link:
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/esa/esapreview">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/esa/esapreview</a> found @ Solution Maps, ESA, Visual Composer, and Aris    to understand how SAP is developing the new generation applications via eSOA - Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture. 
    It's difficult to guage what you are really looking for in your post.  So I'll jump down into the application level to try to answer your message. 
    If you want to use the actual SAP transactions which implement PO, use transaction <b>ME21</b> (or ME21<b>N</b>) in <b>ERP</b> (SAP R/3).  If a system is receiving a PO, you can manually enter a Sales Order using <b>VA0</b>1.  This is specific to ERP.  These Business Processes can <u><i>also</i></u> be managed thru our CRM, SRM, and SCM/APO products.  In addition, most of these transactions can also be manipulated thru IDOC's or RFC/BAPI versus user interaction.  
    Hopefully this gets you pointed in the right direction. 
    Good Luck...

    Dear Satis
    because of historic reason in history of SAP there might be the risk to misinterpret your question.  This would be my first answer:
    1.) check this document first: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
    2.) check may be:SAP Product and REACH Compliance - SAP Library
    Some "topics" are dealed with this SAP solution
    3e.) years ago a product if TechniData was available called "Compliance for products". Regarding many of the functions therein: these are now mainly available in the above mentioned solution or in the new solution as shown here:
    Component Extension 5.0 for SAP EHS Management – SAP Help Portal Page
    Take first a survey in the doucments and links given and then coe back with furthere questions etc.

    PS: you need to drill down in any of the documents etc. as mentioned above to get the "details"to most of your questions

  • Job Pricing Business Process

    Hi Everyone,
    My company has just implemented the job pricing tool, we are a bit uncertain on the actual business process for this tool, we have an idea on how the tool works but not 100% sure of the entire business process. May I please request assistance on the SAP business process for the Job Pricing tool based on the following scenario:
    - In a situation whereby an organisation want to participate on the salary survey for the first time, what is the SAP business process to follow.
    Your assistance in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Best regards
    Scelo

    Hello,
    SALARY SURVEYS,
    Used to compare internal compensation data with external data.
    Job pricing is a tool to create and maintain a list of survey providers ( one who gives the survey data of jobs)
    The job pricing tool also allows you to perform job matching to match internal benchmark jobs with jobs contained in a salary survey, as well as age market data that has been imported from the salary survey providers by job or survey.
    SALARY SURVEY PROCESS STEPS.
    1. Job Analysis.
    2. Selection of survey provider
    3. Receive survey data
    4. Import Data
    5. Job Matching
    6. Age data
    7. weight data.

  • Can SOA replace SAP Business Workflow?

    I finished BIT600 and covered the practicals on 300 pages of the 500 pages of BIT601. Now I hear that the company I work for will replace workflow with SOA? I not that informed on SOA, but would it be possible for this to replace SAP Business Workflow? It doesn't make sense.
    SAP Business Workflow is fully integrated to SAP Business Processes with events/triggers through Business Objects and classes. It manages business processes and error handling. Also, it has the background jobs set up to monitor deadlines. From what I gather SOA is middleware? How is it supposed to replace Workflow?
    Thanks,
    Adrian

    I agree with you.
    SOA is a Service Oriente Architecture... a set of principles and methodologies for designing and developing software in the form of interoperable services. BPM is a SAP component that helps you model, execute, and monitor your business processes based on a common process model.
    These are 2 concepts completely different each other in my opinion... it doesn't have any sense.

  • Defining the Business Process Structure

    Could some expert suggest on this ?

    Dear Prakash,
    In solution manager till EHP1 it is not possible to meet what is ur requirement but you can do the following as an alternative
    Project
    Master Data
    Organization Structure
    Business Scenario Std Selected from BPR e.g Service Desk 
    Business Process std
    Business Process Step Std
    Business Scenario Non Std Directly entered the name of scenario in Structure tab e.g any Zscenario
    Business Process Non std ( you need to add here the process for zscenario)
    Business Process Step Non Std  ( you need to add here the process step for z*)
    But if you very specific to go with 4 main nodes as you said then you need to modify the standard with ABAP Developement and there is no alternative.
    Hope it clarifies.

  • Study business process requirements in sd implementation project?

    how to study business process requirements in sd implementation project?

    Hi chandu,
    I will suggest you first go through the document given below
    SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to implement SAP software in an organization. The SAP implementation method described in this entry is a generic method and not a specific implementation method as such. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software.
    Concept Definition
    CHANGE MANAGEMENT ***Activities involved in (1) defining and installing new values, attitudes, norms, and behaviors within an organization that support new ways of doing work and overcome resistance to change; (2) building consensus among customers and stakeholders on specific changes designed to better meet their needs; and (3) planning, testing, and implementing all aspects of the transition from one organizational structure or business process to another. (www.gao.gov)
    CHANGE MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION All documentation that is required and being delivered whilst performing change management, e.g. the functional test cases and all the other documents a new end-user of SAP requires and the various tools and approaches used to manage change by the TSO. (Anderson, 2003)
    COST OF OWNERSHIP ANALYSIS Determination of where and when the costs are inquired within the context of the SAP solution stack and ongoing operations. The analysis addresses all internal and external costs, both one-time as well as recurring (Anderson, 2003)
    CUTOVER The process of transitioning from one system to a new one (Anderson, 2003)
    CUTOVER PLAN All documentation related to planning, preparing and executing cutover, describing how to lock down the system from a technical change management perspective, preparing the TSO for its new role and rolling out the SAP graphical user interface to all future end users. (Anderson, 2003)
    DATA CENTER A data center is a facility used for housing a large amount of electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. (www.wikipedia.org)
    DATA CENTER REQUIREMENT A requirement for the SAP data center, i.e. a physical requirement like power requirements, a rack requirement, a network infrastructure requirement or a requirement to the network server. (Anderson, 2003)
    DISASTER RECOVERY (DR) REQUIREMENT Requirement that focuses on downtime that lasts many hours to days or even weeks (Anderson, 2003)
