SAP HCM (SAP Human Capital Management) SAP Stands for: Systems,
Applications, and Products in Data Processing SAP software was
developed to be modular, scalable, open and flexible, allowing
companies to tailor it specifically to their needs. SAP calls this
approach to implementing software "configure to order" because each
implementation will be different according to each customer's
needs. SAP takes a different approach. There is only one
information system in an enterprise, SAP. All applications access
common data. Real events in the business initiate transactions.
Accounting is done automatically by events in sales and production.
Sales can see when products can be delivered. Production schedules
are driven by sales. The whole system is designed to be real-time
and not historical. The process of adapting procedures to the SAP
model involves "Business Process Re-engineering" which is a logical
analysis of the events and relationships that exist in an
enterprise's operations. Multi country Operations, Flexibility,
Enterprise wise Integration, Real Time Information Architecture:

SAP HCM (SAP Human Capital Management) SAP HCM uses Infotypes to
store all relevant employee data required for administration
purposes. Authorization to access SAP HR Master Data can be defined
at the Infotypes level. In HCM we have Following Infotype Ranges
Pre defined by SAP: 0000 0999: For HR/PY 1000 - 1999: For OM 2000
2999: For TM 4000 4999: For Recruitment 9000 9999: User Defined Sub
Infotype: Some Infotypes are divided in different groups linked to
the same theme. These groups are called subtypes. Permanent
Residence and Emergency Address are subtypes of the Infotype 0006
(Addresses). Custom Infotype: Many times the client requirement is
to have some additional fields along with the standard Infotype
screen which is available by SAP. This can easily be done through
Enhancement of Infotypes. The major transaction codes that would be
needed are PA30 & PM01 (If you get a message saying the
Infotype cannot be enhanced, try transaction Code PPCI instead of
PM01) Steps involved in Info type menus as follows: I Create Name
for Infotype Menu I Create Menu Items for entire project S Choose
the Infotype Menu S Assign Infotype Menu to 01 HR Master Table G
Create Name for Infotype Menu for Action G Group Infotype Menu
Items as per your needs/Actions. Infotype Menus: SPRO >

then specify the Reference User Group as you like two digits and
update that value in the User Group Parameters ie; UGR and Save
Reference user group is Default value is 00. We can create
different numbers for each module to be created under HR so that
access is barred for users other than current module. If No User

another in SAP without having to step back screen by screen. Saves
time. In this case you have 1 SAP session open. Entering /o in the

A time constraint indicates whether more than one infotype
record may be available at one time. When you update an infotype,
old data is not lost but archived for historical evaluation. The
system records a specific period of validity for each infotype,
This enables the system to store more than one infotype record at
the same time, even if their validity periods overlap. This means
that the time relationships between infotype records must be
defined. The concept of time constraints enables you to do this. HR
master data uses the following three time constraints: Time
Constraint 1 (Data is stored without gaps or overlaps) Time
Constraint 2 (Data can be stored with gaps, but not with overlaps)
Time Constraint 3 (Data can be stored with gaps and overlaps)
Access Tables using Transaction Code: SM30 If you can only remember
part of a table name or the text relating to a table name - then go
to table maintenance via transaction code SM30 and click on the
pull-down (F4). The first 500 entries (defaulted) are shown. Click
on the down arrow found above the list and fill in the search
variables. Remember to use the wildcard * as a search variable.
Remember that some searches in SAP are case sensitive, so if you
are unsure as to whether the first letter is uppercase of
lowercase, just leave that letter out of your search parameters. If
you are unsure of the table name, go to the screen holding the
data. Right-click the field and then click on the Technical Info
icon. Double-click on the Structure field - you should be able to
see which "check table" is associated with the field. If you know
the table that has to be configured, go to table maintenance area
(SM30/SM31) and click on the "customizing" icon - after inserting
the table name. This takes you to the IMG and to the step where the
actual piece of configuration is carried out. You can select a
project or just choose the skip option if you are unsure. Personnel

SAP HCM (SAP Human Capital Management) If you wish to delete one
employee at a time you can do so using transaction code PU00. If
you wish to delete more than one at a time, you can use the report
RPUDELPN. If Sometimes you might not be able to delete an infotype
for an employee using the delete button on the Infotype screen.
Another way of doing this is to use the "delete personnel number"
from the main screen of PA30. Once all the Infotypes are brought up
you can just select the appropriate infotypes and delete those.
Change of entry date for an employee: SAP has functionality to deal
with this. It is relatively straightforward if the employee has no
payroll results. Use transaction code PA41. Type in the correct
employee ID and click on the "execute" button. Once in the screen,
you can scroll through the events for the employee and select the
one you need to correct. Once you've found the correct action then
you can click on the "execute info group" button. SM12 to delete

name to check all the users lock entries. The lock entry list shows
you the users who are locking the entry, the time when the lock was
initiated, the table that was locked as well as the locked records.
If possible, ask the user to logoff first before deleting the
locked. entries. For locking individual transactions code, used
SM01. Putting a tick at the Locked columns will prevent all users
from using the transactions code. To lock individual user go to
transaction SU01. Click the Lock/Unlock button. To lock multiple
users (ver 4.6x) SU10 - User Maintenance Mass Changes click Address
