Security and reliability are paramount in the core HR functions, such as payroll and time management. The challenge lies in the dependence on countless influences. These include statutory changes, new negotiated agreements or individual company agreements. Time-critical adjustments, such as short-time allowance, have an immediate impact on payroll. New work models, such as home office and hybrid working, are influencing time management, among other things.

Even small changes may have far-reaching effects in the SAP HCM system. With precisely tailored optimizations, you relieve the burden on those responsible in the HR and IT departments of your company. In addition, requirements relating to audit compliance and data protection can be easily implemented.

Data Protection and Audit Compliance for SAP HCM – WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

The FIS/hrd Schema and Rule Analyzer (SRA) TRACEABILITY & AUDIT COMPLIANCE

In the HCM environment, development processes in running IT systems are particularly frequent. However, every change in Customizing affects the processes and results in payroll and time management – even small changes can have a big impact. Correct information cannot be guaranteed in response to requests by auditors or user departments concerning the Customizing status at a specific point in time.

FIS/hrd SRA ensures a traceable and audit-proof development of the core processes by versioning payroll schemas and rules as well as all other table sections. This allows you to keep an overview at all times and to quickly and easily determine deltas of the original versions even across system boundaries – even without extensive IT know-how. Versioning allows error sources to be reliably identified and eliminated.

The Operational Relevance Check (ORC) component of FIS/hrd SRA enables comprehensive relevance check of schemas and rules in ERP systems. Legacy or unused schemas and rules are identified and can then be easily cleaned up. This keeps the ERP system lean. The ORC component is fully integrated into the FIS/hrd Schema and Rule Analyzer.

The main functionalities of FIS/hrd SRA:

• Versioning of schemas and rules as well as Customizing tables
• Audit-proof documentation of changes directly in the system, supplemented by note function
• Matching support during the import of HCM support packages
• Comparison between versions and systems for analysis and maintenance support, especially for troubleshooting and bug fixing
• Operational Relevance Check component (OCR) for operational relevance check of schemas and rules

• Easy copying of HCM data from the production system to the upstream systems
• Comparison function for executing ‘before and after’ analyses
• Cloning of objects, e.g. for test purposes
• Corrections can already be made in the development system
• Comparison function, e.g. to support the import of support packages and result checks
• Extensive anonymization options, also individually configurable

Data Protection and Data Security WITH SAP ILM

Locking, deleting, and archiving personal data in SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA efficiently and reliably is exceedingly complex – especially in a system with customer-specific enhancements. Not only the dataset in the SAP production system, but also in test or quality assurance systems must be considered.

SAP Information Lifecycle Management (SAP ILM) has been developed for retaining, locking and deleting data and documents in your SAP system. By using ILM, the life cycle of SAP data can be managed in an automated way by means of rules. The tool is recommended by SAP as a supporting measure for EU GDPR.

SAP ILM will assist you with managing the life cycle of the information stored in SAP by means of Information Retention Management functions:

• Determination of ILM rules: You can independently define ILM rules, e.g. retention rules and retention periods, to map the legal requirements correctly in SAP and to apply these provisions to live data as well as to data already archived. According to these requirements and processes, the data can be archived in an automated way.
• Locking of data: Data can be locked against premature deletion if it is relevant for legal cases for instance or if it is to be locked against access of specific SAP users or employees.
• Deletion of data: In consideration of legal requirements or locking due to a legal case, data can be deleted in a rule-consistent manner.

Your data will be archived on an ILM-certified WebDAV server to guarantee the immutability of personal data and prevent premature deletion.

By combining SAP ILM and the DIA component of FIS/hrd CCC, you are optimally positioned to implement the requirements of the EU GDPR.
