SAP HR Introduction help needed

Hello, I am very new to SAP, and am currently a student looking up information about SAP for an academic exercise. Just to get a handle on SAP HR portal, does anyone know of some good books or links for information on how to start building an SAP HR portal. I need to understand more information about the usual setups, costs, and other general information about this type of setup and I don't have too much experience with SAP to begin with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have looked around the wiki here and there is a ton of information, and I haven't found any really beginner or intro data that has what I am looking for.
Thanks

Hi Jon,
For SAP HR you can use the ESS (Employee Self Services) and MSS (Manager Self Services). These can be implemented into the business logic and processes via the SAP Portal.
Links:
-> ESS
- /thread/428959 [original link is broken]
-> MSS
- <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/29/d7844205625551e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">MSS configuration</a>
Use the key words "MSS configuration" on the SDN, this brings you a lot of practical stuff (unfortunately not on the lowest level of expertise).
Additional HR fields are:
-> Learning Portal
-> E-recruiting
You can find helpful documentation on the http://help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/80/ea89395eb58c4f9d0c3e837cf0909d/frameset.htm
In case you had any other questions, feel free coming back to this thread
Best regards,

SAP Inforecord Workflow Help Needed

Hi,
My company wants to adopt a workflow scenario for info records; such as if info record is newly created it must be approved before itu2019s in use or if info record is already created and there is a change of any fields it must also be approved by management. Do you know if there is any standard way to do this, or could you please give me idea how to achieve this?
Best regards,
Melih

Hi Melih,
> Do you know if there is any standard way to do this, or could you please give me idea how to achieve this?
I am not aware of any Standard WF to do this but you can Create a Custom WF for this..!!
>workflow scenario for info records; such as if info record is newly created it must be approved before itu2019s in use or if info record is already created and there is a change of any fields it must also be approved by management
You can try this approach:- Its Simple:-)
Go to SWELS/SWE4 - Switch on the Event Trace
Create/Change your Info Records.
Go to SWEL and check which BO has been triggered corresponding to that INFO RECORD along with the BO Event
Now you have got the Bo to trigger WF and now you can create your own WF..!!
For more on WF Assistance..Check these links:-

Help needed in Connecting to SAP From Eclipse

Hi All,
Currently, we have a requirement where we need to retrieve data from SAP System and need to upload the same in a Third Party Application (Java based system).
We are able to create an account in Java Application using Eclipse IDE by hard coding the Account details. We are stuck up in establishing the SAP connection and retrieving the details and then creating the extracted account details in Java application from Eclipse.
Any pointers on this will be of great help.
Regards,
Eureka

Hi Eureka,
Please refrain from creating cross-posts in parallel forums, moreover this question is JCo-related and is not directly connected with Java EE 5. The Help needed in Connecting to SAP From Eclipse in the Java Programming forum would be enough. Please continue the discussion there.

SAP MDM Joining tables in console? Help needed.

Hi,
I am placed in SAP MDM Project.
Currently, we have an unique requirement.
We, have to join two tables of SAP MDM Console in an unique field
named(House No and PO Code).
Actually, we have a main table named Business Partner and a Flat table
named Address.
Now, we have a field named House No and PO Code(Business Partner) which I have made as unique.
Also, the Field named House No and PO Code(Address) is unique.
Now, my colleague suggested if we can make remote key mapping at the time of import
it will automatically populate the address data for each individual.
But it is not true. Remote Key mapping is a different concept.
If Remote key is mapped with any field of the Main table.
It will show remote key mapping for that field with a remote system.
When data is syndicated back after modification same data is reflected in that remote system.
Only thing that we can do is that make House No and PO Code (Business Partner) as Lookup(Flat) field and it is mapped with the Flat table Address.
Now, the SAP MDM Data Operator needs to select the address manually from say 10,000 address records for a person George Smith in main table(Business Partner).
No other way round.
Please suggest if there is any other way.
Thanks and Regards

Thanks Amol for the advice.
My friend doesn't belong to an engineering background and had not worked in a manufacturing environment.
He holds an MBA degree specialised in systems and has worked in software companies supporting software projects and the functions(like HR,Procurement in the same setup) as a software quality guy.
Moreover the modules mentioned by you requires engineering background with manufacturing exposure.
He had enquired for the course at siemens and they said that he may not be suitable for any of the modules offered by them as per the above reasons.They also mentioned that they have to check with SAP Labs for expert opinion.
Please provide your inputs.

EDI IDOC generation for interface with Vendor software help needed.

EDI IDOC help needed.
We are NOT an EDI shop, but have a project to output data to Sales Force.com
Sales Force requests IDOC output - eg. 810 Outbound Invoice.
We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments?
I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
Basicall we have a report program that the user enteres in the date range of Order/Quotes/Invoices they wish to extract, the the program needs to output a flat file (.txt) on the server which is then picked up by Sales Force.com.
Also, is there a way to have in the Partner Profile a generic Partner under the "Type KU" that can be used for all orders/invoices so I don't have to create a KU Partner Type for each and every Sold-To customer we have?
I am very new to EDI so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott.

Hi Scott,
We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
I know it's very tempting to use an interface for such loads if you anyhow have to create one. However, often the volume alone speaks against interface usage for such scenarios.
Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments? I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
Well, the E2* segments basically reflect the external name of the IDoc segment, whereas the function modules you're referring to basically just create an internal version of the IDoc. Once the IDoc framework then passes the IDocs to the partner, the segment names usually (depends on how the IDocs are passed on) get converted to their external name. If there are multiple versions of a segment, then the version number will be appended to the segment name.
Note that IDoc segment definitions are only partially stored in the data dictionary. If you want to see all versions you should always use transaction WE31 to look at segments. There you can also see for example for E1EDK01 the several versions and when you then use in SE37 function module SEGMENT_EXTERNAL_NAME_GET you will see what SAP produces as the external name for segment E1EDK01. This function module is basically the one that handles the segment name translations.
Ignore the comments for subsystem, this is basically an option in SAP to possibly trigger further external tools (e.g. mapping etc.) for handling the outbound IDocs.
Again, the funny thing is that via the WE30 transaction, if i put in INVOIC02 as the Obj. name and see the segments, i can see that E2EDK01 there is a version 005, but if i go to SE11 and put in E2EDK01005 structure line and i get a "not found". We just have up to E2EDK01002.
In the old days SAP used to generate E1, E2 and E3* structures in the data dictionary (SE11). The E1* structure reflected the character type representation of an IDoc segment, whereas the other two (definition and documentation) contained actual references to data elements (e.g. if you used a quantity field). However, in newer releases those dictionary structures (E2* & E3*) are no longer generated, because they're superfluous (meta data defined via WE31 is sufficient).
Cheers, harald

     accounts.

SAP authentication plug-in needs to have been selected during the installation

Can anyone help me with an issue I have with the SAP authentication setup please. Unfortunately our BI 4.0 SP4 installation was installed without the SAP authentication being selected. On the setup document I have it says that the SAP authentication plug-in needs to have been selected during the installation. Does anyone know if it is possible to set this up retrospectively?
The document can be found on the following link. Setting up the SAP plug-in - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,
As Sebastian said, this is a default installation, but you must select the correct one that you need, I guess that Enterprise is the default one.
