Hi all,
In this post, the document describes SAP
BW/HR implementations presented in alignment with the 4 phases outlined by
Global Template Roadmap provided by SAP.
To
begin with, typical challenges with SAP BW/HR implementations were discussed.
Subsequently, solution alternatives were presented to handle these challenges.
Technology components in BW/HR solution landscapes were highlighted along with
their relevance. Implementation approaches and alternatives in modeling SAPBW
as a HR data warehouse were examined. Several issues that might come up in data
acquisition, harmonization, consolidation and presentation were discussed and
experiences in managing these issues were shared. Solution options to handle
privacy and legal requirements were presented along with the pros and cons of
each option.
1. Assumptions:
1. Assumptions:
a. The
global SAP BW/HR implementation primarily intends to satisfy the
global HR reporting requirements.
global HR reporting requirements.
b. There may or may not exist local BW
instances, catering to the local HR reporting requirements.
2. Typical Challenges for Global SAP BW/HR Implementations
3. Introduction to Global Template Roadmap
4. Phase 1: Global Program Setup

6. Phase 3: Global Realization
6.1. Data Acquisition
6.2. Data Harmonization
6.2.1. How to Uniquely Identify an Employee
6.2.2. How to Identify Duplicates
6.3. Data Consolidation/Integration in BW
6.4. Data Presentation/Reporting
6.4.1. Handling Time Dependencies
6.4.2. Modeling Evaluation Ranges in BW
6.4.3. Handling Privacy Requirements
7. Phase 4: Global Maintenance and Support
8. a. Reporting Performance versus Loading Performance
b. Report Details versus Security Requirement
c. Report Quality versus Data Quality
d. User Friendliness versus Development Complexity/Timelines, etc.
This document describes several technical considerations during each phase of a global SAP BW/HR implementation that should help you in this decision making process.
