SAP HCM - A Complete Tutorial

Chapter 2. Recruitment Configuration

In this chapter, we will learn how the Recruitment submodule is configured to map the business requirements in the SAP system. We will also learn how to configure the recruitment module and also the integration aspects with other modules such as organization management. Throughout the recruitment component, data is captured in separate databases such as PBxxxx, where xxxx is the infotype number and PB denotes the applicants. Recruitment infotypes are in the range of 4000-4999. Some useful recruitment-related infotypes are as follows:

  • 4000: This refers to an applicant's action
  • 4001: This refers to the applications
  • 4002: This refers to a vacancy assignment
  • 4003: This refers to an applicant's activities
  • 4004: This refers to the status of an applicant's activity
  • 4005: This refers to an applicant's personnel number

Handling vacancies

Hypothetically, let's say there is an open position that needs to be filled by an employee.

The open positions are created in an Organization Management submodule, which you will be learning in the next chapter, Chapter 3, SPOCK – the Building Block of OM.

We will cover a scenario where the open position (Senior Manager HR) created in an OM component will be used in the Recruitment submodule.

We will see how an open position is created in OM, although we will cover it extensively in Chapter 3, SPOCK – the Building Block of OM.

We will enter the PP01 T-code in the command line. We will create an open position (Senior Manager HR) and flag it as vacant. To create open positions, we can use the PP01 T-code. This is shown in the following screenshot:

Handling vacancies

The vacant position is the one we will attempt to fill using the Recruitment submodule. Click on Save. We will keep this position vacant as shown in the following screenshot:

We will flag all the positions as open...

Advertising vacancies

The different channels that are used to fill the vacant positions are of prime importance for the stakeholders. The following are the different types of recruitment instruments that clients make use of:

Recruitment Instruments

Description

Internal postings

These are the ways to look internally for possible candidates to fill the position

Employee referral program

This is a cost-effective and efficient mode to track potential candidates

Classified advertising

These are jobs posted in newspapers

Employment agencies and search firms

These are consultancies that are tied up with companies, and they specialize in identifying the right candidate for the job

Job fairs

This is like a place where all the interested companies gather and hire the right talent

Online recruiting sites

These are free websites that let candidates upload their profiles, and companies use them as a source to identify the right candidate

Channels or recruitment instruments

Integration with personnel administration

There is a seamless integration between the Recruitment and Personnel Administration submodules, and we will now look at how the configuration is done to achieve this.

There are two features that can be checked: the first one is PRELI, and the other one is PRELR. They are checked by navigating to SPRO | Personnel Management | Recruitment | Basic settings | Set up integration with other components. The following screenshot demonstrates this:

Click on Execute.

Integration with personnel administration

The important features related to the Recruitment submodule are PRELI and PRELR.

Integration with personnel administration

PRELI and PRELR are useful in the recruitment module to check if the number entered in the recruitment module is to be checked with the database.

Integration with personnel administration

PAPLI is another feature that is useful for the Recruitment submodule.

Well I purchased this book for my KIndle and let me tell you one thing- thank god I did not overpay and purchase the more expensive hardcopy because this is one useless book. The author starts off with Recruitment and skips Organizational Management completely which is really confusing as most of the configurations have not been done you end up getting an error message every step of the way, most of the steps are vague and horrible some of the SAP and SAP Easy access paths mentioned are incorrect.This is probably one of the worst books for students and not a very good book for professionals. PK Agarwals books although they are not properly structured nor student friendly have a better description and it's easier to understand when compared to this over expensive complete waste of money of a book!

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
