- Manage Substitutions application which is used by a manager to view and manage the substitutions.

- A new PFCG role SAP_MANAGER_MSS_SUBST_SR_NWBC is available for the substitute, so that non-managers who are acting as a substitute can work on behalf of a manager.

HCM_MSS_OADP_1: Business Function HCM, Manager Self-Service - Performance Optimization with OADP (New)

Use

As of EA-HRGXX 607 SP10, the business function HCM, Manager Self-Service - Performance Optimization with OADP is available. With this business function, you can enable an enhanced version of the Manager Self-Service (MSS) application component based on Web Dynpro ABAP. This version is optimized for performance using Object and Data Provider (OADP). Thus it optimizes the performance of the features released with the HCM, Manager Self-Service on Web Dynpro ABAP 2 (HCM_MSS_WDA_2) business function.

The new features are as follows:

o Responsive UI for the Manager Self-Service (MSS) Home page The Home page has a flexible Refresh pushbutton that works both in synchronous and asynchronous mode: The system decides the mode of refresh at runtime based on the number of objects to be processed. Note that the features are also available on the Substitution Overview page for managers and substitutes.

o Additional display of the timestamp The Home page and the Substitution Overview page display the timestamp of the data displayed on the Team page and other UI screen areas. Managers can use this timestamp to decide whether they want to continue working with the data. If they want the latest data, they can perform a refresh using the Refresh



pushbutton. Previously, the system performed a refresh to update data for the entire hierarchy when senior managers who are occasional visitors logged on to MSS. To avoid this inconvenience, it is now possible to run a batch job to update the OADP buffer. It ensures that managers always find valid data whenever they start the MSS application. It can be scheduled by the administrator. You can use the new report to prepopulate the buffer used by the MSS application.

o New report for updating the OADP buffer A new report, Object and Data Provider Buffer Update for Managers (RP_MSS_OADP_UPDATE _BUFFER), is available to update the OADP buffer automatically. It ensures that the managers always use valid data whenever they start the MSS application. For more information, see Object and Data Provider Buffer Update for Managers.

o The MSS homepage application has optimized functions and an enhanced UI to deliver improved performance. The overall average improvement in terms of performance is approximately 1.7 times. The actual improvements in the system may vary depending on the system configuration. The enhanced areas are as follows:

- The Team, Time Recording, Birthdays and Anniversaries, and Competency Matchup applications

- The Attendance Overview section now uses buffering.

o New versions of OADP function modules are available. The overall average improvement in terms of performance is approximately 3 times. The actual improvement in the system varies depending on the system configuration. The enhancements work optimally for managers who have a maximum of 200 direct employees or 2000 indirect employees or both under them, and when the threshold is 100. This recommendation overrides the recommendation previously made in SAP Note 922267.

Effects on Existing Data

o There is no change to the existing Customizing settings.

o In the new version, the MSS application offers improved user experience and enhanced performance of the MSS Home page and Substitution Overview page, especially the refresh function.

o When you activate the business function, the old function modules used for OADP are replaced with their successors.

Effects on Customizing

You make the Customizing settings for the functions of this business function in Customizing for Personnel Management under Manager Self-Service (WDA) -> Object and Data Provider -> Update Object and Data Provider Buffer Periodically.

HCM_ASR_CI_4: New Form Type in Design Time for Processes and Forms (New)

Use

As of EA-HRGXX 607 SP00, Business Function HCM, Administrative Services 04 (HCM_ASR_CI_4), a new form type is available in Design Time for HCM Processes and Forms.

This enhancement provides an alternative to creating forms using either SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe or an external UI.

You can create a form of type FPM Form and edit the layout in the new Component Configuration Editor. In the Component Configuration Editor, you use user interface building blocks (UIBB) to configure a form, list or composite component.

The new editor is based on the Floor Plan Manager (FPM) flexible user interface designer. For information, see SAP Library for Flexible User Interface Designer (FLUID).

In Design Time for HCM Processes and Forms, you can create forms using the following user-interface building blocks:

o Form - You use this when you want to display data using a form.

o List and List Complex - You use one of these to display infotype data using a table formation in the user interface:

- List - You use this when you want to display or perform operations on repeat fields of a single infotype record. You must include the fields from a LINE structure of an infotype configured in Design Time.



- List Complex - You use this when you want to display or perform operations on multiple records of a single infotype. See SAP Note 1043692 for more information on the relevant customizing to be performed in Design Time. With this type of list configuration, multiple selection of rows is not permitted, and a new line is always inserted as the last row.

o Composite - You use this to group multiple UIBBs within a single UIBB.

You create a form, list or composite components as part of a form scenario.


The form type Adobe Form maintains the existing functions for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe.


You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for HR Administrative Services. The Customizing activities whose settings are covered by Design Time have a dialog box that refers you to the Design Time. The documentation for these activities also refers to Design Time.

This business function offers the following features:

o Integration of the Mass Hiring Web application into the landing page

o Appealing and intuitive Web user interface, which offers a central workspace for an HR professional to manage data of multiple candidates when hiring employees.

With the Excel-like Web UI, an HR professional can complete the whole maintenance process for candidates by carrying out the following:

- Download an empty excel template for mass hiring - an HR professional can forward the downloaded Excel template to a third party, for example, an external job agency, to maintain candidates' data. The empty excel then can be forwarded to the third party, for example, the external job agencies, for data maintenance of candidates. The structure and layout of the Excel template can be customized using the Design Time tool, for example, to include value help and remarks, and to set important fields as leading fields.

- Import an Excel sheet with records of multiple new hires from a local PC into the application - an HR professional can choose to import all candidates or the selected rows of candidates in the Excel sheet. The application supports delta data handling to import revised data to the new UI.

- Export the candidates into an Excel sheet stored on local PC; they can also export only rows with errors for offline correction.

- Handle errors - there are aggregated error messages and detailed messages on the UI, with the latter directly navigating to the cells with errors. The error messages are exported in a separate worksheet in an Excel file, when an HR professional exports the error entries into an offline Excel file.



- Save drafts - an HR professional may leave the task by saving the current workspace as a draft, and then access the drafts from the "Tasks" lane in the landing page.

- Mass edit, mass validate, and mass submit candidates' data.

To edit: select rows with identical values, find and replace values in one step, or copy values from a row to other rows.

To validate: the system checks the quality of candidate data before it is finally submitted to the database. Both synchronous and asynchronous validation processes are available and can be conducted in parallel to save time, if the function is enabled in the Design Time tool.

To submit: submit all candidates with qualified data into the database in one step. The candidates with unqualified data remain in the workspace for an HR professional to correct and then re-submit them.

o Automatic duplication check during importing and validations - the system can automatically identify duplicate candidates, so as to avoid repetitive and invalid records.

o Rehire detection - the potential rehires can be detected during validation. An HR professional can check and decide whether to reuse an existing personnel number for rehires, or to create a new one for new hires. You can define the rule during Customizing.

o Automatic creation of personnel numbers for all new hires after final step of data submission - after submission of the candidate data, personnel numbers are generated automatically, so that an HR professional can focus on their business tasks.

Note

To use this business function, you have to activate the Human Capital Management (EA-HR) Enterprise Extension.


When you activate this business function, you must make the new Customizing settings for Mass Processing under Personnel Management -> Personnel & Organization -> Processes.

There is also an option, in the side panel, for a user to include a screen shot of an application by attaching it to the service request. This feature is only available when an application is launched inside NWBC for Desktop.

The new enhancements also allow the user to navigate directly to the CRM system through the Create Service Request and Search Service Request functions, if they need to enter more details while creating or searching for a service request.

PY Payroll PY-CH Switzerland Business Function HCM, Concurrent Employment for PY CH (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP14 (EA-HRGXX 607), the business function HCM_LOC_CI_43: Business Function HCM, Concurrent Employment for Payroll Switzerland is available.

You can use this business function to use the localization of the international concurrent employment framework (CE) for the Swiss Payroll. The localization of concurrent employment enables you to meet the legal and general business requirements for employees in Switzerland who hold multiple positions. This business function includes the following areas:

o Employee recognition: When a person is hire, the system detects whether the person already has an employment contract.

o Payroll: In the calculation of the SI contributions (in particular the net/gross calculation and net wage compensation, the system analyzes all the contracts of a person together. SI contributions and wages subject to contributions are distributed to a person's contracts in proportion to the respective income.

o Reporting: In general, you can select person-specific reports according to the person ID. In the wage statement, wage account and remuneration statement, you can output the data per contract or per person.

o Teacher remuneration: For customer developments for teaching staff payroll, you can use a new class. This class accesses adjustable data, for example, teaching and non-teaching periods.

Note: To use this Business Function, you have to activate the Enterprise Extension Human Capital Management (EA-HR).


The functions use the existing infotype data of Payroll Switzerland. To be able to use concurrent employment, the CE master data must be activated in your system. The system then uses the person ID instead of the personnel number to identify a person. For more information, see SAP Note 1308288.

In the area menu, the CE versions of the person-specific reports are called once the business function has been activated. *_CE is added to the report names. In the reports, you can also specify the person ID as a selection criterion.

Note: If you activate the business function, you may no longer perform retroactive accounting in periods for which payroll results were already generated before the activation. If payroll results already exist, you can only switch after the year-end closing.

o Personnel Administration -> Basic Settings -> Basic Settings for Concurrent Employment In the Concurrent Employment Customizing activity, you use parameter PAYCH
