4 Benefits of eLearning

I recently subscribed to the Supplier Spotlight and entered a contest by writing an article.   The winner gets one month free advertisement on the Supplier Spotlight webpage.  Currently I am holding the Number 1 position in the contest and I still need some more votes to stay there.  The contest ends on 26th of February, 2013.  Please vote for me and here is the link..

Instead of firing employees, organizations should fire-up their employees’ drive to improve the skills that contribute towards their company’s growth. This can be accomplished through any number of low-cost, customized eLearning tools.

Here are 4 reasons eLearning can help improve your existing employees:

Faster (and Better) Retention: When it comes to technical learning, it’s been proven that the attention span of a student sitting in a training classroom lasts for only 20 minutes—that’s it. With eLearning, they take control of their own learning, thereby taking a more active role in the process, which greatly improves retention.

Convenience: With any kind of eLearning, it goes without saying you can do it anywhere, you can learn from the comfort of home or at the office. And, instead of a set class time & duration, you can come back and practice as many times you want. They can even log on anywhere in the world—all they need is a computer and an internet connection.

Flexibility: The student can pause, playback, or complete the lesson from anywhere, at any time. There’s no rush or requirement that they should be sitting in front of the computer from start to finish.

Self-Financing: There’s only a one-time build cost. The organization can use it as many times as they want. The more you use it, the more money you save.
Of course, the benefits to your organization can go way beyond the four I’ve listed here. Because with customized eLearning you can train new employees without taking time away from other employees, paying for any external classroom training becomes unnecessary, and all process-specific learning is standardized across your organization.

So instead of laying employees off, you can make them better–and your company, too.

SAP HR Navigation


    
How to find the SAP Logon icon - If this is your first time using the SAP system, you will need to double click on this icon.  Now you might not find this icon on your desktop, don't worry.  Click on Start --> Programs --> SAP Front end and you should now be able to see this icon.  Now, drag this icon to your desktop for easy access the next time you would like to log back into SAP again.


When you double click on the above SAP Logon icon, the SAP logon pad will open up.  If this is your first time, you will need to set up the system entry properties.  Click on new item button on the bottom right hand side and enter the description, application server, system number and system id.  All of these information you can get it from your basis team.  Click on next to proceed.  You should now see your system entry in the light blue box.  Select the system and click on log on.

You will be directed to the username and password screen.  If this is your first time, you will enter the password that was given to you by the basis team.  SAP will prompt you to enter your own password twice.  Once you have changed your password, write it down and remember it.

Congratulations, you have now successfully logged into SAP.

What is SAP HR

Wed, 17 Sep 2010 20:04:58 +0000

SAP HR now called SAP HCM is a well integrated ERP system. There are various functions that a HR department carries out in a organization like Employee Administration, Benefits, Compensation, Payroll, Recruitment, Performance Appraisal, Time Administration etc. All of these functions are built as modules in the SAP HCM system.

These modules in the SAP HCM system are Organization Management which takes care of your organization structure, positions, jobs, cost center, etc. Personnel Administration which takes care of your employee data like address, date of birth, social security number etc. Benefits module which takes care of employee benefits and usually interfaced with an external benefit provider. Enterprise Compensation Management (ECM), which takes care of making sure employees are paid fair market value. Performance Management, which records employee's performance appraisal during a given year. Recruitment module is used to hire the right applicant into the organization. Time Management which records and calculate employee working time through work schedules and Payroll module ensures that employees are paid correctly and on time.

All these modules are so integrated that in layman terms we say they speak to each other. This is why many organizations prefer the SAP HCM system. It provides excellent reporting through standard and custom built reports. The latest version is ERP 6.0 and one of the benefit of version 6.0 over the older version is, if the organization has offices in different countries, they can all be configured in one HCM box under different country groupings.

SAP HR is the best paying job of all SAP modules. To be a SAP HR functional consultant, you need to have some understanding of HR domain, have excellent client facing skills, need to know the end user processes well, need to know one or two modules from configuration perspective and be ready to travel.

Right now SAP stocks are doing very well. At the time of writing this, the stock prices as of today is well positioned at $63.73. There is very little competition to SAP HCM module and as long as there are employees in a organization, SAP HCM module will always be needed.

Creating Custom Relationship in SAP HR

SAP is designed to cover all common situations with a wide range of infotypes, reports and relationships.  However, even the best system cannot accommodate every possible scenario.  That’s why SAP allows users to customize many functions, including relationships that does not exist in SAP
 
By creating custom relationships between objects, you can display all of the structures that exist in Organizational Management.
 
Relationships are special subtypes of infotype 1001. Each relationship always has two relationship types, indicated by A (bottom up ) and and B (top down). Whichever one you choose to create, A or B, the SAP system will automatically create its partner, so you will always have both options.
 
In order to create relationships, you need to choose a three character code.  No numbers can be used, so relationships can be labeled anything from AAA, to AAB, AAC … all the way up to ZZZ.

We have a video on how to create custom relationship in Organization Management module under consultant training.

SAP HR Online Training

It's been a long time since my last update. This year has been real busy for us and we thank the Lord for that.

So what have we been up to ?

Well since April of this year we have been traveling to Indiana helping a client with their data migration from their legacy system to their SAP HR system. This project was successfully completed with good reviews to Perfect Resources in the month of August 2011. In the month of September of this year we got an opportunity to work with ADP in supporting their clients and this project is still going on.

We have also updated our end user training on SAP HR Modules. We have added the following:

1. A presentation to each SAP HR module
2. More captions in each video
3. Voice in all videos
4. Quiz at the end of each video
5. Practice Lesson in documentation tab

We are now working on our consultant module, will provide an update soon.

Oh, I got a chance to take a small vacation with my family to Northern Outdoors in Maine, River Rafting. It was an amazing fun trip.

Data Comparison Tool

On my current project I got the opportunity to work on Accenture DCM tool. For those of you who have never heard of this tool must be asking, what is that ?

It's a data comparison tool, it helps in comparing your SAP data that was recently migrated against your legacy data. There are two sides to this tool. The left side and the right side. The left side is the SAP side and the right side is the legacy side. On the left side you select the SAP fields for a given infotype that you want to do a compare. On the right side you select the legacy fields that matches the SAP field an example would be PERNR in SAP will link to Employee Number in Legacy.

You can write rules using IF statement. When the comparison is done, you will see the results in comparison like SAP Personnel Area and Legacy Personnel Area. if the values are the same then you will get a pass in the far right column, if not you will get a fail.

Very helpful for payroll comparison.
