SAP HCM basics?

Hi Guys
I am looking to learn SAP HCM can some one give me idea where can i get saome basi materials and step by step guide, or some PDF's , Blogs and elearning.
I will be really happy if some one can suggest some CBT based training.
Babu

Hi Babloo
The first area to learn is general Personnel Administration and general payroll
I would recommend course HR050,HR100 and HR110 for learning the basic concepts of SAP HR
This is available at www.service.sap.com/trainingcontent - however you will need
SAP Service Marketplace user and access to get this content directly unless
you actually enroll in the courses and are given the folders
You will find that SAP HR is very much country specific so once you have mastered the general
concepts you may want to focus on a specific country of interest to you
Best wishes

PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

Hi all,
in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.
is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:
1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.
2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.
I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.
are there any doc or blog which shows this.
is possible with/wihout PI.
We have follwoing things installed.
1. PI 7.1 SP4.
2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.
are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).
basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.
I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".
thanks,
Madhu.

FIM 2010 R2 Web Service Connector SAP HCM HTTP binding

Hi all,
I'm currently configuring the FIM web service connector to connect to a SAP HCM system.
I followed the documentation (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29943) to create the necessary web service on the SAP system. With the only difference that
I'm not able to select "None" (HTTP) under the Web Service Communication Security Settings as described in the documentation.
I had to select SSL and now get the following error message in the Web Service Configuration Tool.
Synchronization Service Manager
Following Endpoints are configured with unsupported binding:
- 'customBinding' binding for 'Z_IDM_CONNECTOR_SOAP12' endpoint
Please configure endpoint(s) with http binding only and refresh service(s).
Web service connector cannot be configured through Synchronization Service Manager if endpoint binding is not basic http.
Any help how to fix this is highly appreciated. I already can see the available BAPIs in the Web Service Configuration Tool. (In other words "Discovery" is working.)
I'll get the same error if I try to load the configration file into the Web Service Connector in the Sync Engine.
Thanks
Chris

Ok. I got that fixed by changeing the Transport Security to "None" in the Security Profile of the Service Definition.
I'm now facing a different error that you might be able to help.
I'm not able to add additional BAPIs to the SU_USER Function Group as described in the documentation because the "Plus" Button is missing in my screen. How can I add these BAPIs in order to use the Web Service Configuration Tool with the provided SAP ECC
6 configuration template?
Thanks
Chris

How to ger through SAP HCM certification test?

Hi friends,
I have to take SAP HCM certification exam on 29th july. kindly provide some tips and advice to get through it.
Mukesh Suman

Hi,
I feel certification is about complete remembering of the 4 books which SAP provides.
Some tips while answering the questions is try to answer those questions first which you are 80-100 % sure.
Then answer the rest questions.
Everyone told me if you give 3-5 contnous wromg answers and submit them you will not certify.
Thus be sure to give continous right answers by answering the once you are completely sure.
On the type of questions part :
1. Employee subgrou grouping personnel subarea grouping questions are a must, e.g To which of the below personnel subare grouping can be done a) Work schedule b)Basic pay etc
2. Holiday Calendar- Moving Holiday and non-moving holiday-Types of Holidays
3.On Basic pay Infotype- Payscale groups and levels fundamentals
4. Wagetype characteristics table, each field be sure
5. Indirect evaluation INVAL A, B.,C,D-PRZNT, SUMME
6.Features : ABKRS,NUMKR,- and remember all features in the book must be around 15
7. Work schedule generation steps
8. Time Evaluation Types- In IT 0007 you have the types
9. Positive time - which of the below are true for positive time
10.Negative time - same question
11. Payroll area ; 1 scenario with different dates and frequency, suggest how many payrolll areas.( Draw diagram in a paper like circles and suggest how many)
12.Solution Manager: Try to get 100 % in this area. This is very small section in the book.
13. Personnel actions definition
14. Definition of all components of Personnel structure and Enterprise structure
15. Definition of schema
Basically all topics in the book 1 question.
Remeber in certficatin ther are no queries on the table Names like t512d in general. All they ask is concepts and fundamentals.
For this remebering the book is very important.
All the best and relax. When u see the first question don't start feeling you dont know, keep a positive mindset and high concentration you will get through.

Prabha

SAP HCM Life Cycle

Hi Expert,
Can anyone help me with the life cycle stages of SAP HCM.
I have a student who asked me what is the concept of SAP HCM, I explained about where was it started, what is the architecture, why is SAP preferred against other applications, modules covered, logic of integration... I would like to know if I am missing on anything as far as Concept is concerned.
Thank you in Advance.
Sejal

Hi,
There is nothing as such called lifecycle of SAP HCM.
It is similar to an ERP application, and basically your organization first decides which of the ERP module they are going to implement, once they have decided to go for HCM, they wil opt for it.
Again in HCM it depens on customer which module he is going to implement and HCM is vast it inlcudes PA, OM, TIME, PAYROLL, BENFITS, TRAVEL MANAGEMENT, LSO, Performance management, HR Forms and Processes etc.
This implmentation has a life cycle - like
Requirement gathering, Blue printing, Realization, implementatin (Configuration and coding), Custom implemenation, Integration if required, Testing (includes, UT, SIT and User acceptance testing), Documentation and hence Go Live.
This is a huge process and requires domain / business / technical/ functional / Quality / Knowledge experts.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks & Regards, Swapnil Mishra

Preparation for SAP HCM Associate Certification Exam

Hi,
I am preparing for SAP HCM Associate Certification exam, and I have got only five days in my hand.
I want to know how can I utilize these five days in preparation very effectively, basically on which portion of the syllabus I must give more importance.
I also want to know at what level the toughness of the questions are asked in certification weather it is direct questions/tricky questions or just basics questions.
I have tested my skills in www.daypo.net where I found the questions asked on this website for practice was very tough. I have scored only 34% out of 80 questions.
Currently I have four materials THR10_1, THR10_2, THR12_1 & THR12_2, is that there will be direct questions from this materials.
I want to pass the certification.
Can anyone please help me out.
Regards,
Kunal Sinha

Hi Kunal
I was going through the questions online, some of them are easy ones and some of them require hands-on experience in SAP HCM,
I am new to SAP HCM and planning to write the SAP HCM exam soon, The online sample questions for SAP HCM are mostly based on the practical knowledge of configuration, is there a book available through which I can practice real case scenarios so that I can have better understanding of SAP HCM to give the exam. Any suggestions and exam related info is appreciated.
Please reply.
Thanks so much

Obtaining the list of data interfaced out of SAP HCM

Hello,
we got a good challenge from our partners in the business organization that we support. The Data Privacy officer on the business partner side would like to know:
- what other systems are "takers" of the data from our SAP HCM instance
- what data pieces (what tables, fields...) are being interfaced out
- what is the frequency of that
We are trying to maintain the document whenever a new interface is being built but in practice you know how it looks like.In order to have 100% confidence in the anwser I would want to pull such list from the system. Is there a way to do that? What would you suggest?
Regards,
Pawel

Try the function below, pass the item name and get the Data provider for that particular item, you will have to do this for all the items in the template.
function getDPName(item){
     prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(item);
     var tableHidden=true;
     if (prop != null){
       for(i=1;i<prop.length;i++){
         if (prop<i>[0] == "DATA_PROVIDER")
               return prop<i>[1]
       }//end for
     }//end if
}//end function
Thanks.

Dear All,what are the major issues in implementation in sap hcm

what are the major issues in implementation in SAP HCM project scope is PA ,OM,TIME, INDIA PAYROLL

Hi Ramjan,
Try to have a clear understanding of requirements and find the best solution in SAP. Keep as much as possible everything standard and based on SAP best practices.
In PA look for a comprehensive enterprise structure. It's base for everything.
DON"T do anything through development(ABAP code) as much as possible specially in PT and PY. Try to do claculation by PCRs and Schema.

How to populate custom fields in SAP standard Basic type DELFOR01(E1EDK09)

I've a requirement to include and populate 2 custom fields in SAP standard basic type DELFOR01 and Segment E1EDK09 (it is at hierarchy level 1 ) .
The requirement looks very simple but for this, as per my knowledge, I have to create a new Basic type with the copy of segment E1EDK09 and attach it to outbound process code and write my own function module to populate the segments.
It seems ok but the there are some existing codes in the user-exits for the SAP standard function module.These codes will not get triggered.(Or I've copy the user-exits code in my FM)
Can we do it any other way to handle this kind of situation?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Hi Phani,
You have done it correctly. ECC additional data to be moved to EWM, 1. you need to enhance the CIF for master data/ bapi to populate the data in the custom field in EWM. 2. Make your your are not enhancing only one structure. You need to do it in the CI includes so that the field is available in all the related tables/structures.
3. The BAPI/FM which updated these tables will take care automatically to update the custom field data if the field is correctly added in all the tables.
4. If the custom fields are added correctly and still the data is not getting saved , then need to check the mapping of the custom field and bepi extension.
Let me know if this helps.

Integrating SuccessFactors PMS solution With SAP HCM without saving any employee master data in SF

Hi Friends,
We’re implementing SuccessFactors’s Performance Management Solution only at one of the client location in Saudi Arabia and trying to integrate with the On-Premise SAP HCM and Push the employee data to SF.
However, due to security concerns customer doesn’t want to store any data on SucessFactors cloud solution to run the PMS cycle.
During the purchase of license for SuccessFactors SAP has demonstrated client that, in SF a unique Id will be created for each employee, which will not be the actual UserID(PERNR)from SAP, and with this unique ID actual employee data will be tagged/linked in SF which will fetch the data from SAP On-Premise system to run the PMS cycle. Once the user logins in SF, based on the unique ID data will fetch from SAP On-Premise system to SF on a real time basis and when the user logged out from the SF system, data should be cleared/deleted and nothing will be saved or stored in SF with respect to employee Master Data.
I understand SAP has provided the standard add-on for the Employee Data Scenario between SuccessFactors and SAP HCM, which could have been leveraged here for integration using PI, however with the above limitation this solution is absolutely out of scope.
Please advice, is there any solution where with PI if we can achieve the above requirement of client.
Thanks,
Farhan

To implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I have SAP ECC 6.0 system already implemented 2 years back.
I am planning to implement SAP HCM with OM, PA, SAP Time management, SAP PAYROLL in existing SAP ECC 6.0 system.
I have currently 3 system landscape for SAP ECC.
I would like to know what change/addition is required in above landscape to implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0
Do share your view.
Regards.

Hi.
As per you, Already designed Landscape. Why dont you follow you existing Landscape which is alredy proved for other modules.
Normally Dev/Quality/Production clients will there..
If more that depends upon flexibility in Each client and defining different business for testing and production interfaces purpose.
Better use Existing only remaining modules already sucessfully running in Production Right????
