About SAP ELC - An Overview

Overview

The employment life cycle in an organization shows the flow of human resource process from recruiting, hire, development, and separation/retirement. Every component of this process is supported by SAP.

One of SAP’s features is the high degree of integration between functional components. This allows for a single source of data entry instead of having to enter the same data in multiple places. This improves general data integrity while simultaneously updating relevant data between modules. SAP provides real-time data updates so updates to human resource modules are reflected immediately in other modules. SAP is the system of record for HR and Payroll data. This data is sent to other systems such as ILearn and PPR but SAP maintains ownership of the source data.

The creation and maintenance of employee master data in SAP is a critical Section of the Human Resource process. It drives processes like payroll, benefits, and even Outlook email properties. In SAP, employee master data is entered in only one place for accuracy and efficiency. Master data is tied to all Human Resource components, such as payroll, benefits and reporting and updates are automatically applied across the system.

HR master data is maintained in the SAP System through information types (infotypes) of data linked to employee identification numbers. Infotypes are SAP’s way of grouping similar pieces of data. For example, data like name, government issued ids like social security number, marital status, nationality, and birth date are grouped together in a single infotype called Personal Data. This makes it easier from a visual and maintenance perspective.
