On July 17, the first feature pack of HR Renewal 2.0 was shipped. It provides a completely new user experience to the SAP Payroll application and further enhancements to the HR Professional, Manager, and Employee role.
- Personnel & Organization - Dynamic processing rules, enriched context-relevant navigation, and additional country versions
The business function HCM, Personnel & Organization 05 (HCM_PAO_CI_5) provides dynamic processing rules (DPR) for single infotypes and infotypes in the roadmap forms. DPRs are similar to the dynamic processing actions available for SAP GUI applications for the transactions PA40 and PA30. Whenever data are edited, DPRs can evaluate the change and either guide the user to the next infotype to be processed or automatically update infortypes in the background. Customers can use or adapt delivered DPRs, create their own DPRs (no modification). In case of errors, troubleshooting is easy thanks to an extensive error log from which allows direct navigation to the source of the error.
Business benefits are
- Increased in data quality and legal/audit compliance
- Clear user guidance through all steps
- Reduce manual entries by enabling backend processing tasks
- Rich configuration options for customer and country specific rule sets with low configuration TCO
- Pre-configured content for all relevant country versions as best practice templates
The same business function also enables context-specific navigation options for employee and organizational master data. This new navigation option lets users seamlessly navigate to related infotypes, reports, other applications, as well as to information required to complete their tasks in as short a time as possible. Context-specific links are available for various countries, e.g. for Germany you can directly link to documentation provided by health insurance companies from the infotype General Social Insurance Data.
