Classic HR Management is in a state of change. New entities such as Business Partners, Shared Service Centers (HR SSC) and Centers of Excellence (CoE) are emerging. Processes are shared and optimised, and employees are assigned new roles and job titles.
…and the HR IT? What contribution can the HR application landscape make to provide optimum support to the organisation and to the processes on the road to excellence?
Operational process support by means of ERP software, from companies such as SAP with its modules for payroll and HR management, has been a constant in the HR IT landscape for decades. Reports and key figures are (used to be) generated directly from the operational data.

More InformationFor some years now, we have found that the analytical aspects of HR data evaluation are gaining in importance. HR-related factors and tasks, such as demographic change, aging (of the population), skills shortages, talent scouting, staff retention, diversification, corporate health management: they all demand new tools, applications and means to make the HR data available for viewing and analysis.
Additional requirements regarding aspects such as visualisation, transparency and remote working resources for staff and management call for more than the display of key figures in list format.
That is where Business Warehouse (BW) systems and Business Intelligence (BI) applications from CubeServ with their specialist business content for HR come in.
Our SAP BW content has been developed based on information about the business and technological requirements for data analysis in the HR environment gained from numerous HR BW projects – and represents the best practice approach at a fixed price.
The CubeServ Business Content for HR comprises 4 different modules, based on the 4 core modules of the SAP ERP Human Capital Management software:
The CubeServ content offers additional HR-specific functionalities, such as:
It is a modular application, comprising four separate modules that can be enhanced and extended individually and combined as required. This approach also allows for the straightforward integration of customer-specific enhancements in the form of Z-tables or 9xxx infotypes – comparable to infotype enhancements in the SAP Standard.
In addition to the analytics modules mentioned above, our HR Content also includes a solution for “Personnel (Cost) Planning“.
Personnel Administration (PA) constitutes the core module of the BW application. For analysis purposes, data providers are made available for Headcount (Actual/Forecast), Actions (Actual/Forecast) and Personnel Change Analysis (Actual/Forecast). This module provides the technical and content basis for your reporting. It utilises the most important infotypes of the SAP HCM modules and – where appropriate – the standard SAP extractors.
The following basic key figures are created: FTE (Full Time Equivalent), Headcount, Age, Length of Service and Amounts. In addition, characteristic values such as Full-Time/Part-Time, Nationality, Gender, Contract Type (Limited, Unlimited, Probationary Period) are made available.
In the standard solution, 20 classic HR reports on Headcount, Fluctuation, Age Distribution, etc. are delivered. Currently also included are Web Application Designer (WAD) templates for immediate integration into an SAP portal application.
One outstanding feature of the package is the Change Analysis, which analyses the movements/changes of all available characteristics (e.g. Organization, Employee Subgroup, Cost Center, Pay Scale Group) and shows the effects of changes recorded through so-called “actions” – Hiring, Leaving, Internal Change (e.g. change in working hours affecting capacity) – on the basic key figures (FTE, Headcount).
Optionally, changes can be displayed in a waterfall chart.
In addition, basic pay information from infotypes 0008/0014/0015 is evaluated with current amounts (from pay scale tables for instance) in the course of the data transfer, which means that having to actively establish a connection with the pay scale or wage type tables becomes redundant.
This is an optional module that focuses on the analysis of the staffing assignments (Actual/Forecast). The analysis is generated on the basis of the extraction of the standard elements of the SAP Organizational Management:
As is the case in the Personnel Administration module, planned OM data too is analysed on a monthly basis, which means that staffing (actual/planned) can be included in an EOY evaluation.
Personnel Time Management is also an optional extension module, which focuses on attendances and absences and their analysis. Module “Personnel Time Management” allows the following components to be analysed:
The module provides the time data per day, distinguishing between planned working times (Planned), attendances (Actual) and absences (IT2001), determining the key figures
Specific characteristics and key figures are made available for the analysis of health-related absences:
There is an enhancement available for including the quotas (PT3).
Which SAP frontend application do you use / do you have licences for?
More recent applications such as SAP Analytics Cloud, Lumira and Analysis Edition for Office (Excel, PowerPoint) or older BO or BW applications (BEx, Web Application Designer, Design Studio), SAP Dashboards/Xcelsius?
Our content can supply data to all these applications.
Other applications that are not part of the SAP portfolio can be used as well, as long as they can process DSO/InfoCube/MultiProvider data structures; ideally, access should be made via the classic SAP Query.
