As mentioned at the beginning, the main modules mentioned above contain several sub-modules that can be used to map specific tasks in the HR environment. The following building blocks should be mentioned in particular :
* ESS/MSS: Employee Self Services/Manager Self Services
* Structural (dynamic) authorization assignment
* personnel appraisals
ESS and MSS massively relieve the personnel department by digitizing workflows. For example, it is possible for employees to trigger processes such as working time corrections, travel requests, or training bookings in the system themselves. Access points can be for example the SAP Netweaver Business Client or the Fiori Launchpad. Fiori applications can even be used on mobile devices.
Security and efficiency are also ensured by the structural authorizations thatcan be used in conjunction with Organizational Management (OM). In contrast to the standard SAP role and authorization concept, authorization is assigned dynamically rather than statically.
The functional principle: Authorizations are assigned to jobs within the organization. If an employee takes this position, he automatically receives the appropriate authorizations. This is not least a clear plus point with regard to IT security.
SAP HCM also makes it possible to map employee appraisals. The data stored in the system forms the basis for salary adjustments, variable salary components or bonuses. The appraisals can also be used in conjunction with Training and Event Management to ensure the quality assurance of continuing education events.
