BW/HR Implementation
1. PURPOSE
This document is intended to provide customers, partners and consultants who plan to implement BW/HR with critical considerations to facilitate the development of a cost effective implementation strategy with tips & hints to aid a successful implementation.
With release 2.0B of the SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW), SAP BW has become a robust data warehouse solution to serve reporting needs. It integrates state-of-the-art Data Warehouse technologies with SAP business know-how. It provides a platform to integrate the data from operative R/3 applications as well as from any other business application and external data source such as databases, online services and the Internet. The SAP Business Information Warehouse enables Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) to format the information of large amounts of operative and historical data. OLAP technology enables multi-dimensional analyses according to various business perspectives. The pre-configured Business Information Warehouse Server for core areas and processes ensures information views within the entire enterprise. With the much-enhanced functionality in BW 2.0 and a superior set of new business contents in BW 2.1C, SAP BW has offered an environment that could satisfy all enterprise reporting needs. This is especially true under one of the following conditions:
When data integration from multiple source systems is a requirement.
When your transactional systems (OLTP) have been overly extended and it experiences severe performance problem while high performance reporting is a requirement.
When a unified user interface is essential in your environment.
However, there are special considerations should be given depending on the functional areas. In the R/3 Human Capital Management or HR functional area, there has been a substantial amount operational reporting functions in an R/3 environment. To determine the most prudent BW/HR implementation strategy to achieve a most cost effective implementation, one must first understand the available HR reporting tools and the cross system HR reporting options. The first section of this document provides a summary of available HR reporting tools and the decision criteria to form the implementation strategy.
The second section of this document provides unique characteristics and the special considerations when configuring BW/HR.
While HR has delivered a rich set of the pre-delivered business contents, most the country specific data are absent in the standard business contents. This document further discusses the techniques to extend business contents with two examples of US specific enhancement as a point of reference.

This document was written specifically for BW version 2.0B and 2.1C.
3. BW/HR Reporting Strategy
3.1. Overview
BW 2.0B and beyond provides a multitude of important reporting capabilities including the Report to Report Interface1 and the Remote Cube2 functionality. The Report-to-Report Interface technology allows drill through capability from a BW query to another BW query or an InfoSet Query3 as well as to a R/3 reports or R/3 transactions. These important functionalities have opened up a variety of design consideration under the umbrella of BW reporting. It diminishes the system boundary. You now can evaluate all available HR reporting tools and making the most cost effective decision in determining the reporting strategy. With the integration of the role based activity group in the workplace and in BW, either workplace or BW can serve as a single point of entry for all your HR reporting needs. With the single sign-on and the properly defined system authorization, authorized end users do not need to know which system a particular report was executed on. As an implementer of the HR reporting strategy, it is important to understand what tools are available under which system environment and the proper use of the each to achieve the cost effectiveness without sacrifice the flexibility, performance and usability.
The diagram below depicts a pyramid of three different types of data in HR and the proper reporting environment for each as a general rule of thumb. The top of the pyramid is for the survey and benchmarking. They are most suited to be residing in the Benchmarking environment and the SEM (Strategic Enterprise Management System) balanced scorecard. The bottom layer of the detail operational reporting is most appropriate to be executed against transactional data in the Online Transactional Processing (OLTP) environment. The middle layer of Decision Support and statistical analysis is where BW, an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) environment most suited for.

The HR reporting in the operational system has come a long way. Currently, in HR OLTP environment, more than 200 standard reports are available to obtain up-to-the-minute information on corporate Human Resources at the enterprise. SAP HR provides you with a tool (HIS) that enables you to report on data along hierarchical structures, and access standard report easily. Cross application SAP reporting tool (InfoSet Query) enables you to create your own reports and analyze HR data without programming. A tabular format of HR reporting tools listed below categorized the various reporting tools, their intent, their strength and limitations. This should serve as a guide when evaluating against the business reporting requirements and facilitates the selection of the appropriate reporting tools. It is important to recognize that the integration of these tool set combined with a paradigm shift to a new way of information access allows the ultimate performance and cost effectiveness of reporting. For further information about these tools, refer to HR Reporting in the online documentation.

3.3. BW or R/3 Reporting Decision Criteria
With BW 2.0B functionality, it is possible to fulfill all reporting needs in BW environment. Many BW architects strategize BW/HR implementation riding on this notion without considering the uniqueness of HR and the existing operational reports and tools in an R/3 environment. Undoubtedly, with customized effort to bring a vast amount of R/3 data into BW, one can achieve the goal to deliver all HR reports physically from the BW environment4. The key question to answer is whether we have chosen the most cost effective tool and environment to provide the information needs. The major challenge in the corporate America is that the operational reporting has been a long-standing culture. Many companies, particularly for installations that are implementing R/3 and BW in parallel, have defined the reporting requirements based on the traditional operational reporting needs. Decision support analysis may not have been the norm. The concept of analytical and decision support reporting is only terminology without practical experience. Drill- down, slice and dice to focus on the exception reporting versus voluminous paper report may still be just a notion. Many list reports and legal reports were defined as business requirements for BW. To realize a most cost effective BW/HR implementation, it is the important for the implementation team to perform a cost benefit analysis in light of BW’s analytical capability and the functionality in BW 2.0 to integrate BW and operational reporting to derive the most effective reporting strategy. Listed below are several positioning considerations:
Obtain management sponsorship to promote cultural change for decision support reporting.
Establish business scenario to educate the business requirement definition team on BW tools and capabilities. The scenario should include using BW drill through function to R/3 detail level reporting for exceptional analysis to avoid creating un-necessary performance issue in an R/3 environment.
Staff the reporting requirement definition team with business experts with analytical reporting needs in addition to the traditional reports team.
Establish a requirement definition process to insure each report is justifiable. For example, certain system auditing reports are possible candidates for elimination due to the R/3 integration and data integrity is protected under the new system environment.
It should be duly noted that shifting all reporting from R/3 to BW for a gross assumption of performance relieve could result in excessive hardware costs, unnecessary data redundancy and customization maintenance costs.
4 However, one cannot expect the equal sophistication of certain long-standing techniques that have been developed in an R/3 HR environment, such as authorization handling.

The following table of decision criteria depicts a general rule of thumb when determining BW vs. R/3 reporting. Please be aware to make appropriate decision, you should take all criteria and decision points into consideration and avoid taking a single point out of context.
Criteria Decision Point R/3 Legacy BWData integration needed from Cross Functional R/3, New Dimension products, and Non-R/3 system Environments
General rule of thumb
Performance issue in R/3 OLTP system
Heavy information access is required in an OLTP system that already have performance issue based on post tuning performance measurements
Uniformed User Interface is essential
Same look and feel is essential to the end user information access

4. BW/HR Specifics
4.1. HR Business Contents
HR delivers a rich set of business contents that cover all HR sub-functional areas with cross sub-functional integration. As of BW 2.0B, HR has delivered approximately 15 roles, 120 queries, 70 templates, 34 InfoSources, 17 InfoCubes, 200 key figures and 100 characteristics. These out of the box business contents can be used as is or it can be served as a template or example for customer-define business contents. The following table of business contents summary provides a high-level description of the BW/HR standard content delivery as of BW 2.1C and BW Plug-in 2000.1.

For the detailed business content map, please refer to Business Content section of the BW online documentation on SAP Service Marketplace BW web page under Documentation -> online documentation -> business content -> Human Resources. This is an extremely useful source of information for the gap analysis as the level of detail includes the Infotypes that source the extractor at a technical field names level.
With the exception of Payroll Accounting, Time Management and CATS, the HR data sources do not provide delta update5 capability at this time. While this may be a concern of high volume customers in considering the data extraction loading time, several possibilities can elevate this issue. Please refer to the implementation consideration section of each sub-functional area (section 5.2 through 5.4) of this document for the possible alternatives.
4.2. Master Data Centric
With the nature of the Human Resources business, the people related InfoObjects, such as Employee, Person, and Applicant have tremendous amount of the attributes to describe them. Hence it is master data centric. When reviewing SAP delivered HR business contents, it is important to recognize that although the Employee transaction data source consists of merely two data elements (InfoObjects 0employee & 0calmonth), the critical dimensions for drill down analysis can be brought in from Employee Master data as dimensional characteristics via update rules or as navigational attributes. The former approach is used in the standard delivered business content for the Headcount and Action InfoCube. This approach added more overheads during the population of the InfoCube, but would yield better performance at query time. And without that we wouldn’t be able to report on the master data history correctly, e.g. changes in cost center, when doing time comparisons in BW queries.
4.3. Time Dependency
To preserve the Human Resources data for historical evaluation, HR R/3 system records a specific period of validity for each Infotype. In an HR decision support (DSS) environment, this is of particularly importance, as ‘point in time’ analysis is one of the key requirements for HR DSS. BW/HR business contents delivered by SAP inherited the R/3 time constraints in HR Master Data to enable such essential requirement. Nearly all HR master data is defined as Time Dependent data. There are three types of time constraint
5 The delta update function referred in this section is the delta mechanism provided within the R/3 HR data extractor function not the BW delta functionality.
Page 11
BW/HR Implementation
master data in HR R/3. Time constraint 1 is predominately used in Personnel Administration and Organizational Assignment data, which means the validity periods of the individual records must not overlap and must not have any gaps. This is quite important to be aware of when you loading master data into BW environment. In time dependent Master data load, any overlapping record will result in error condition. If you have external source of master data to be integrated with R/3 data into BW environment, this will be an important design consideration. This is especially evident for parallel implementation of HR R/3 and BW. Customers who desire converting the current data of active employees in R/3 environment often want to convert history data from legacy systems into BW and using BW as an environment for historical data storage and integration with the active employee data. If such requirement is mandatory, the conversion team must take the time dependency into consideration when integrate Employee, Person and Applicant master data.
5. BW/HR Implementation Approach
From the pre-delivered business contents perspective, HR is one of the function area has the richest set of the contents. As of BW release 2.0B along with R/3 Plug-in 2000.1, pre-delivered business contents are available in all HR functional areas. While it is not possible to meeting all customer requirements at one hundred percent, pre-delivered business contents provide the following advantages: It’s pre-configured with complete set of solution from roles to executable
queries. It provides the industry best practices and consistent data model from R/3 to BW
environments. It provides a fastest way to bring up a ‘Ready to Go’ prototype environment to
engage end users in an OLAP, Decision Support environment. It provides a great environment for ‘Cultural Change’ from traditional
operational reporting to Information Analysis environment. It provides the best ‘GAP’ analysis environment for the end user to define and
implement the ‘True’ business requirements It’s an environment to achieve ‘Quick’ Wins.
Therefore, for BW/HR implementation, it is strongly recommended to adopt an Iterative Phased Implementation approach with phase I being a Rapid Implementation of pre-delivered business contents.
5.1. General Project Strategy and Planning
Like all system implementation project, it is important to have a concrete project strategy; a well defined project scope; select project team members; schedule training; plan, estimate and obtain hardware and software and develop a well defined project plan. For additional information, please refer to ASAP BW on SAP SERVICE MARKETPLACE/BW or ASAP BW CD.
5.2. Rapid Implementation
Page 12
BW/HR Implementation
The following are stages and specific steps for the key tasks of a BW/HR rapid implementation:
5.2.1. Scoping the Rapid Implementation phase (Project Preparation):
Which pre-delivered HR functional areas the rapid implementation to be included
Will limited US specific enhancement must be included in this phase, i.e. SSN (Social Security Number) and Ethnicity.
Determine the end-users and the security requirements during this phase.
Develop a high level implementation plan Form the project team. Project team training plan Determine Landscape and Transport Strategy (Basis) Acquire, Install and Test the Technical Environment (hardware,
software, database, desk top and connectivity - Basis)
5.2.2. Develop the Rapid Implementation plan (Blue Print):
Finalize a list of pre-delivered business contents to be activated by functional components, data sources, InfoCubes, InfoObjects, Queries, Workbooks, and roles.
Assign responsibility for each components Agree upon the instrument (template) to record the test result and
additional requirements Develop evaluation criteria and test plan Establish user ids and security Check database parameter setup for performance Coordinate with DBA for TableSpaces definition Prepare end user training material Testing of BW operating environment (both Plug-ins, BW backend
Coordinate and Implement Production Scheduling Develop a BW Operations Guide
5.2.5. Go Live and Support for Rapid Implementation
Follow and enhance the Operations Guide Monitor and address production issues, if any End user support Project Go-live Review Define the Scope of next Iteration of Implementation
5.3. Iterative Phased Implementation
Once the initial phase is completed, the end users should have sufficient experiences with the new decision support environment to enable a more informed decision when identifying the cost effective business requirements above and beyond what the standard business contents provide. With the template provided to the end users as a requirement feedback tool, end users can now recording the requirement. As a part of good project management and planning each incremental phase should consist the following elements: A crisply defined project scope A well defined HR reporting strategy Sound business requirements Clearly defined expectations Well defined Critical Success Factor for each iteration A Pilot demo at the end of each phase Sound Data model Performance measurement and an alternative plan
6. Activating Business Contents
This is one of the very key steps to accomplish the rapid implementation and quickly realize the benefits of BW. The following sections provide a step-by-step procedure on how to activate pre-delivered business contents.
6.1. General Procedure and Considerations
6.1.1. Setting up the Transport Environment Before setting up a transport strategy and procedure for BW, it is
important to first determine the system landscape under BW and the companion R/3 systems. Generally, a three-tier BW landscape and the corresponding source systems for each is recommended.
With such landscape, a transport strategy can be setup as follows: BW system: Develop system -> Q/A or Consolidation system;
upon Successful testing Develop system -> Productive system
Page 14
BW/HR Implementation
R/3 source system: Development system -> Q/A or Consolidation
System; upon successful testing Development system -> Productive system
Checkout the Landscape Strategy Accelerator on SAP SERVICE MARKETPLACE/BW
Hint: Transport can be done between BW or between R/3 systems, but not between BW and R/3 systems. The data source activation and data source replication must be done manually!!!You must also make sure a development class other than $tmp is used, as system will not be able to transport local objects. Define a customer development class, such as ZPBW
6.1.2. Activating Business Contents
This is carried out in three stages: Activate DataSources in the Source system (R/3) from ‘D’ version
(delivered) to ‘A’ version.
Starting Point: logon to R/3 system -> execute Transaction ‘SBIW’ or From BW Admin Workbench -> Source system -> select the target source system -> right mouse click -> customizing for extraction (you’ll be logon to R/3 at SBIW Transaction).
Continue at Transaction‘SBIW’ -> Expand Business Content DataSource -> Execute (clock) Transfer Business Content datasource ->Select a valid Application Component or leave it blank for Mass Activation -> Select HR and related datasources to be activated -> push button “transfer Datasource” -> Respond to transport requests (use ZPBW development class) -> Display log and resolve errors. (You may receive warning message re: include not in provider structure – okay)
Replicate DataSources in BW system: The activated DataSource will finally replicated in BW with this stepAdmin Workbench -> Modelling -> Source system -> highlight target source system -> right mouse click -> select DataSource replication
Activate business contents in BW via Install Business Content Tab.6
Activate SAP delivered business contents as appropriate:Admin Workbench -> Install Business Content -> set the default target source system by clicking the yellow icon with a cross and check mark the default box next to the target -> select object type (InfoCubes, queries etc.) to be activated -> expand the object -> if desired object is not on the list, right mouse click, search and select-> object will appear in the left pane under a given functional area -> drag and drop desired object from left pane to the right -> expand the objects -> check mark the object to be activated -> click push button ‘Install” -> select install or install in background depending on amount of objects -> check log for error condition -> go through problem resolution process as needed.
Activate Transfer structure/Rules of Datasources on BW side:
6 Alternatively, you could also start with activate the InfoObjects under the relevant IO Catalog choosing Grouping “data flow before and after”; then proceed with activating the desired InfoCubes with “data flow before and after”.
Page 15
BW/HR Implementation
Admin Workbench -> Modelling -> Source system -> highlight target source system -> right mouse click -> select Data Source overview -> start with master data (e.g. PA-PA-IO for HR), double click on data source with red line over a circle -> Screen to maintain Transfer structure and rules validate all data fields, including all appended fields which should be presence in the transfer structure -> review transfer rule and fill in the appropriate InfoObject name if absent -> move corresponding fields from right pane to left by clicking single arrow or click the fire-cracker like icon to let system propose the rules -> if there’s special transformation rules should be coded, click on InfoObject icon (4th column under Transfer rules) -> Create transformation code and save -> if all look good -> push Activate (fire-work) icon on the top of the screen.Hint: Checkout Online Documentation on SAP SERVICE MARKETPLACE/BW or BW CD.
6.1.3. Populate Business Contents with Customer Data Master Data load should take place first:
For SAP delivered Master Data can be found under the InfoArea with suffix of –IO, example PA-PA-IO for Master data Personnel Administration. Create an InfoPackage for each InfoObjects with _attr, _text and _hier, and extraction job should be scheduled and monitored for error-free extraction. In case of error, use Monitor assistance to resolve problems.
Transaction Data Load for each functional areas should take place next with option to fill the InfoCubes immediately or as a second step to be loaded from PSA. Testing with both option is recommended for large volume transactions and the duration of load for each should be maintained.
A record of the duration of the extraction should be kept to assess if there will be performance issues with production window and potential strategy can be derived.
A problem resolution tips and hints are attached in Appendix xx.
6.1.4. Data Validation Validate data extraction Validate Query and Workbook data accuracy and usability Validate Web reporting, User Favorits Verify the security setup
6.2. Consideration when Implementing PA and Organization Management
6.2.1. General Planning
Personnel Administration master data is sourced from various PA InfoTypes. The organizational management InfoObjects are extracted from InfoType 1. The following general implementation considerations should be noted when planning: PA /PD interface (PLOGI/PLOGI, PLOGI/ORGA;
PLOGI/PRELI) should be turned on and organizational management fields are populated.
Employee Transaction Infosource is populated at a Monthly time dimension. The headcount is calculated at the end of the month.
Page 16
BW/HR Implementation
For example, employee 123 transferred from CC (cost center) 111 to CC 999 on December 17. The headcount for employee 123 will be included in the December headcount for CC 111 not CC 999.
The FTE (Full Time Equivalent) is calculated based on the capacity utilization, which is populated from BSGRD field of InfoType 8. This is of particular importance if parallel implementation of R/3 HR and BW is taking place. Close coordination with R/3 HR configuration team could insure that SAP delivered standard business contents can be readily used without extra effort for enhancements.
6.2.2. Operational and Performance Considerations
PA transaction datasources do not support delta update. It is necessary to perform the full load at the installation defined frequency in order to capture all changes In BW 2.0B, the scheduler contains a new function that allows the automatic deletion of prior load to insure no duplicated records in the InfoCube without manual effort or special coding development.
For the excessively high volume of employees and employee action transaction loads, consider using parallel processing (concurrently process) of multiple infopackages by selection criteria (using PERNR range or range of time periods).
To speed up the long loading process and to insure that no Oracle Database error be encountered, you should schedule the batch load while BW online query is quiescent and deleted the secondary indices for the subject InfoCube. The secondary indices must be rebuilt and run the database statistics prior to release the system for BW query.
6.3. Consideration when Implementing Personnel Development
6.3.1. General Planning
As part of SAP standard extractor, Personnel Development delivers two transaction DataSources for Qualifications and Appraisals plus several master data DataSources, including two Qualification/Group hierarchies. They are sourced from InfoType 1000, 1001, 1033, 1045, 0 and other check & text tables.
Personnel Development supports full update only. Customers with Infotype 24 and 25 Qualification and Appraisal
data will be extracted, if integration flags “Quali/Quali” “Appsy/Delhi” are turned on (table T77S0).
6.4. Consideration when Implementing Payroll Accounting
6.4.1. General Planning
The primary sources of extraction for Payroll Accounting are Payroll Result Table (RT Cluster table), Work Place Basic Pay (WPBP) and

BW/HR Implementation
FI/CO Posting by wagetype. The following general implementation considerations should be noted when planning: The standard transaction datasource for Payroll Accounting is
delivered at a Monthly time dimension. The month to date payroll result by wage type is concluded by
the end of the pay period for the month. The retroactive payroll result applies to the specific month the
retro payment is intended for. Customization for the pay period is complicated due to the lack
of pay period relevant time dimension in BW (i.e. no time dimension for bi-weekly or semi-monthly). The retroactive and delta update logic would further complicate the customization effort. It is strongly recommend that investigate the use of drill through capability in BW query by narrowing down where the detailed payroll information is needed and jump target to R/3 payroll reports to obtain such information.
6.4.2. Performance Considerations
Customer implemented HR Payroll Accounting without FI/CO integration should apply OSS note 140388 for improve the data loading performance.
For the initial load of an excessively large volume of payroll accounting data, consider parallel initial load by dividing into multiple infopackages using PERNR or time periods. Once initial loads are completed successfully, you should and must use one single delta update process for subsequent loads
6.4.3. Recovery of delta loads
In the event that an unsuccessful data load occurred, you have two options to recover: Reload as an initial load for the time periods needed. To reset the
initial load flag, please refer to the BW online documentation. Back-out the records in error and then execute YSET439 module.
(Refer to appendix for the recovery procedures and the source code listing of YSET439 module).
6.5. Consideration when Implementing Time Management
6.5.1. General Planning
The SAP standard HR extractor delivers three Time Management datasources. They are Planned Work Time, Actual Time and Employee Quota (entitlement) and they are sourced from Infotype 1, 27, 2001-7 and PCL-B2 cluster. The following general implementation considerations should be noted when planning for Time Management implementation: Planning of Time type and Quota type assignments:
These are the very key evaluation characteristics in Time Management queries. Careful planning of Time type and Quota type assignments can yield certain benefits:
Page 18
BW/HR Implementation
o Assigning the R/3 subtypes to fewer time types in BW achieves a summarization of reporting time or quota type would yield a reduction in the amount of data to be transferred hence reduce the data extraction loading time.
o By grouping the time or quota types in a hierarchical arrangement would enable you to define external hierarchies to improve the query usability.
The assignment of reporting time type and quota type can be accomplished on R/3 source system using SBIW transaction -> Customer defined datasources -> Human Resources -> Actual Employee time or Quota Transaction Data -> Defining time types or Defining quota types. Or you can use transaction PDW1 and PDW2 to directly define time types and quota types respectively.
Create Hierarchy for Time type and Quota type in BW:Multi-level grouping of time type and quota time improves the usability when drilldown results. Once you have setup time type or quota type in an hierarchical manner (refer to paragraphs above), you can easily define the hierarchies in BW. This can be done in BW Administrator Workbench -> Modelling -> InfoObjects -> Highlight the InfoObject (0reptt for time type) -> right mouse click and select create hierarchy.
Mapping of Time Units:The time units days and hours have to be mapped from HR-Units to SAP-Units (T006) using the veiw V_T538A_DW_HD (transaction SM30 or OLTP Customizing SBIW). For more detail, please refer to OSS note 200829.The OLTP SAP-units (T006) and the BW SAP-Units (T006) should be the same for days and hours chosen in V_T538A_DW_HD! Filters are applied to restricted key figures delivered by SAP like planned hours. The key figures are only valid, if the filter values (e.g. unit = hours) are equal to the values of the loaded records in the cube.
Time management offers delta update. Please note that in the event there were error conditions during delta load, you can set delta load code ‘R’ to reload last delta run. However, there is only one prior version can be recovered. Please refer to OSS note 33177 for further detail.
6.6. Consideration when Implementing Compensation
6.6.1. General Planning
The SAP standard HR extractor delivers three key Compensation datasources. They are Cost Plan Data, Personnel Compensation and Compensation Adjustments. Cost Plan Data, Cost Item and Plan Scenario are sourced primarily from Cluster table PCL5 plus T77KD
Page 19
BW/HR Implementation
table; and the Compensation and Compensation Adjustments are from InfoType 08, 14, 15 and 380. The following general implementation considerations should be noted when planning for Compensation and Cost Planning implementation:
The Compensation Cubes are not populated from Payroll Results only from Infotype 08, 14, 15 and 380.
Please be aware that Off Cycle payroll is not included currently. Therefore, if bonus is paid out of off cycle payroll period, you will miss that bonus amount.
The Bonus payment in datasource 0HR_PA_CM_1 is derived as follows:Bonus = All payments (from IT0014 and 15) – Annual base salary (Ansal from IT0008).
Please be aware that Table T539J (Base Wage Type Valuation) must be customized to include all wage types encompassing annual salary.
Text table for Salary Division in Pay Grade (0CMPSALDV) in Compensation Adjustment InfoCube (0PACM_C01) does not consist the division text. Customer needs to determine the sub-division and either update via a CSV file or update the text table. This is necessary, if customer intends to use query 0PACM_C01_Q0006.
Currently Cost Planning support current planning version (see T77S0 GRPID=PLOGI, SEMID=PLOGI) and Organizational view only. Other planning versions and the financial view are not supported up to release 2.1C.
6.6.2. Operational and Performance Considerations
There is no delta handling in cost planning and compensation datasources. Therefore, when setting up the Infopackages, you should use the automatic deletion function from BW scheduler to avoid duplicated records.
Please be aware that due to the detailed level of Cost Planning data, the volume can be tremendous. Careful planning from both data loading and query performance perspectives must be considered. Please see other sections for tips in dealing with high volume data. Also review OSS notes 130253 and 115407. In addition, you should refer to the BW Performance Accelerator on SAP Service Marketplace BW web page to query performance considerations.
6.7. Consideration when Implementing Benefits
6.7.1. General Planning
The SAP standard HR extractor delivers one key datasource in Benefit area. The Benefit datasource has technical name of 0HR_PA_BN_1.
Page 20
BW/HR Implementation
It is sourced from Infotypes 0167, 0168, 0169, 0170, 0236, 0377, 0379 and several other Benefit check tables and text tables. Infotype 0375 is also read to extract information about whether the employee is highly compensated or not. The Benefit datasource provides general Benefits information (Benefit Area, first/second program grouping), employee groupings (cost grouping, credit grouping etc.) and eligibility. In addition, it also contains information about Benefits costs and contributions. The following general implementation considerations should be noted when planning for BW implementation for Benefits:
The data field COSTCONTRB in Datasource 0HR_PA_BN_1 controls how costs and contribution are determined. If there are payroll results available, they will be read from the cluster. If there are no payroll results available, only the costs are calculated. In the event that you do not need cost or contribution amount to be populated at all, then you can remove “COSTCONTRB” data element from the “Transfer Structure” of 0HR_PA_BN_1 data source. SAP delivered data source will contain this field in the Transfer Structure. You may remove it through the following path:Administrator’s workbench -> Modeling-> InfoSource -> Highlight source system for 0HR_PA_BN_1 datasource -> right mouse click and choose “Change Transfer Rules” -> Click the “transfer structure” tab -> highlight field name “COSTCONTRB” -> use the right arrow to “Remove selected InfoObject “ -> Save and Activate the Transfer rules.
If benefits contribution is to be extracted, contribution will be summed at a monthly time dimension. Non-monthly pay cycle (weekly or bi-weekly) will be merged and aligned by the month per payroll check issue date.
The transaction data will be extracted at one record per month per employee per plan.
6.7.2. Performance and Operational Considerations
There is no delta handling for Benefits datasource. Only full load is supported in data extraction process. Therefore, when setting up the Infopackages, you should use the automatic deletion function from BW scheduler to avoid duplicated records.
Customer who has very high volume of employee benefits data and need to reduce extraction loading time may consider to configure your Infopackage extraction process on a monthly basis or quarterly basis or by ranges of Pernrs. Selection criteria, such as Calmonth or Pernr are available to limit the volume of data for each load. However, it is advisable to properly configure your infopackages so that the automatic deletion to avoid duplicated records is taking into consideration.
Should you decide to extract Benefits data on a monthly schedule, please be aware that depending on when and your operational
Page 21
BW/HR Implementation
processing cycle, the records for the current month may be incomplete in particular the costs and contributions. Therefore, it is recommended to only extract past months.
The fields of datasource 0HR_PA_BN_1 depicted in the table below can be selectively removed, if they are not required for BW reporting purpose or if such data is not filled in R/3 side. This will reduce the volume of data to be loaded from R/3 to BW hence improve data loading performance. This can be accomplished by simply removing the selected object from the “transfer structure”. Please refer to section 6.6.1 bullet item 1 for the procedure.

6.8. Consideration when Implementing Training and Events
6.8.1. General Planning
As part of SAP standard extractor, Training and Events delivers three transaction DataSources for Attendance, Cancellation and Resource Reservations plus several master data DataSources, including four hierarchies for business events, event group and locations. They are sourced from InfoType 1000, 1001, 1021, 1023, 1024, 1036, PAD23, 25, 34 and other check & text tables plus application logic, such sales organization, distribution channels and business event cost allocation. There are many pre-establish structures, restricted and calculated key figures available in T&E InfoCubes for use or as a template to derive customer business rules and saving as your own InfoCubes.
In Training and Events, Business Event is the central InfoObject. If Training and Event is not integrated with Organization
management, Object type ‘U’ (external company code) will take effect.
Cost Center for the event is filled in following sequence:1. If Event-Cost Center Evaluation Path has been maintained in
T77AW table (E-K A011 or E-O-K A036/A011), then this Cost Center will be used as default (Evaluation Path in table T77S0 key: SEMIN COSTC).
2. If Cost Center not found in T77AW, then it will be filled with Cost Center value defined in T77S0 table (key: SEMIN SCOST).
Page 22
BW/HR Implementation
Total Event Cost calculation is the sum of the Event cost and all resources related to the Event. For example:
1. Event Cost in Infotype 1036 consists of Electric Energy cost for $20 per day.
2. Individual resource costs related to the event in IT1036 includes Food, drinks and books.
3. The total Event Cost will be as follows:Event Energy $20/day for 5 days $100Resource Food $10/event 10Resource Drink $ 5/event 5Resource Books $50 50
--------------Total Event Cost $165
4. Currency conversion is based on the currency type defined in table T77S0 (key: VMBUD WAERS). In the event that multiple currencies are required, you may code desired logic in update rules.
5. To verify the result of event costs, you can use the report RHCCOS00 on R/3 side for validation. Also, refer to R/3 online documentation for more detail.
1. The Optimum capacity will adopt the “lowest” value2. The Minimum capacity will adopt the “highest” value3. The Maximum capacity will adopt the “lowest” value.Capacity calculation example:
Event charges consist of two types. The first is a proposed charge per attendee. The second is the actual attendee charges by attendee type (Attendee type (object type O/P) is compounded with Attendee ID). Example of proposed and actual charges are as follows:
Proposed charge per attendee in Infotype 1021 $500Actual charge by attendee type Internal $200
External 300Organization (for 5) 1000
Integration Considerations:1. For internal billing, table T77S0 SEMIN INLV switch must be
turned on to ‘1’2. For SD integration with external billing, table T77S0 SEMIN FAKT
switch must be turned on. External Person object type ‘H’ related to object type ‘U’ external
company. Status of Transfer to CO: S or U Length of resource reservation is delivered in duration of Days
and number of Hours. Example:Duration of Event = 2 daysActual no. Hours per day = 2 hoursTotal hours of resources utilization = 4 hours in a span of 2 days
Page 23
BW/HR Implementation
Training and Events supports full update only.
7. Enhancing HR Business Contents by Example – US Country Specific
While SAP delivered BW/HR business contents is considered to meet approximately 60-80% of the Decision Support requirements, it does not currently contain the country specific contents. For example, Employee social security number and Ethnicity are among the most requested enhancements for US customers. This section provides several enhancement considerations and the how to implement these two specific examples.
7.1. General Planning Considerations
There are two techniques can be used to extend the BW/HR business contents in an SAP environment: Append new fields to existing extract structures and fill them with SAP
customer exits. This is possible for transactional data, master data and texts unless the SAP delivered extract structure is a view. The technical name of the enhancement is ‘RSAP0001’ and the three customer exits are: Transaction data EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 Master data and texts EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 hierarchies EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 You can find further information in ‘Extending BW business content’ white paper posted on BW web page in SAP Service Marketplace (alias BW -> documentation).
Use Generic Extractor to create new DataSources. There is no programming knowledge in ABAP necessary, but working with data dictionary is required. The Generic Extractor can be used to create new DataSources for transactional data, master data and texts. The following are the possible sources for the data: Transparent database tables Database views Domain fixed values (text extraction) Functional areas (global) of the SAP Query
tables, database views table joins (limited according to ABAP SELECT) logical database data extraction using self defined report
You can find further information in ‘Packet for Generic Data Extraction’ white paper posted on BW web page in SAP Service Marketplace (alias BW -> documentation).
Prior to begin the tasks of customization using one of the above techniques, few additional considerations are recommended:
Page 24
BW/HR Implementation
Do observe the BW/HR reporting strategy as the guiding principal to minimize the customization where makes business sense. Customization can elongate the project duration, complicated future maintenance and upgrades.
Do evaluate the design from the overall BW architectural and data model perspectives in determining the type and where the enhancement belong.
Do research and understand the business intelligence from R/3 data structure perspective. For example, ethnic origin (Racky) text table contains country id to make it unique. Therefore, when enhancing ethnic origin from Infotype 77, you need to include coding to inlude the country_id (molga) to make it unique and consistent with the ethnicity text.
Hint: Prior to start the customization work, it is important to have a pre-established naming convention and coordinate with your local basis group. This includes development class, Infosource name, function module, views, extract structures and InfoObject.
7.2. Enhancement Procedures for US Country Specific examples
7.2.1. Determining what to use and where to extend the content for Employee SSN and Ethnicity
In planning for the enhancement, the following research result has been derived: Like employee nationality, gender, Social Security number and
ethnicity are attributes for an employee and also applies to any person that would be included in Human Capital system. These are attributes should be sharable among InfoCubes. Hence, it was determined to extend 0Person Master Data and fill the data fields via customer exit.
Further investigate the HR source of extraction, it has determined that the following mapping and additional data fields are needed to make these two data elements unique:
Description Infotype/table Data elementPerson id modifier PA0002 PIDMOPerson id (SSN) PA0002 PERIDCountry_id PA0001/T005 MOLGAEthnicity PA0077 RACKY
SSN (Social Security Number) does not require text description, but Ethnicity will need a new datasource called Ethnicity Text. To create this new datasource from T505S Ethnicity text table, generic extractor with a database view would be the simplest approach.
7.2.2. Extending 0person Master data for Ethnicity and SSN
1) Extend 0Person Master data extract structure:
Page 25
BW/HR Implementation
In R/3: Transaction SBIW -> subsequent processing of datasource -> Edit datasource -> Appl component PA-PA-IO -> select 0person_attr -> click enhance data source -> structure name default as ZAHRMS_BW_IO_PERSON -> Maintain the append structure for 0Person_attr as follows:
Save and use ZBWP as development class and use BW enhancement transport.
2) Develop Customer exit code: Click on the Functional Enhancement push button to obtain
project management of SAP Enhancement screen (CMOD) Create a new or use existing project HRBW, enter description
as necessary Click on Enhancement and enter RSAP0001 for BW data
extraction exits Click Components and select Exit_SAPLRSAP_002 or master
data enhancement Create ZXRSAU02 include module. (Refer to sample code in
Appendix 8.3) Save transport with your development class (such as ZBWP). Activate user exit and project.
Page 26
BW/HR Implementation
Go back to Edit data source for 0person_attr screen and turn off hidden field flag, if it was marked.
3) In BW: Activate the new enhancements: Replicate data sources for 0person_attr on BW side. Add new InfoObjects (create them if needed) to 0person
master data attributes Activate 0person Update transfer structure for 0person_attr by moving the
added InfoObjects to the left. Update transfer rule by selecting objects with same domain or properly selected InfoObject (see attached)
Activate the transfer structure
Page 27
BW/HR Implementation
4) Repopulate 0Person Master Data Create the Infopackage for 0Person master data, if not already
exists. Schedule 0person master data load Activate new master data 0Person???
7.2.3. Create Ethnicity Text DataSource with Generic Extractor
1) Define Ethnicity IO Text View named ZV_T505S_TXT
>Maintain Generic DataSource -> Create Text ‘Zethnic_Text’ as shown below:
Page 29
BW/HR Implementation
3) In BW: Activate new DataSource (refer to section 7.2.2 step 3).4) Loading the new Ethnicity Text table
Create the Infopackage for Zethnic_text table. Schedule Zethnic_text data load

8. Appendix
8.1. Payroll Extraction Error Recovery Procedure
8.1.1. Determine the State of Affairs
Go to Administrator Workbench and select the InfoCubes tab Highlight Payroll InfoCube (Payroll 0PY_C01). Go to the top of the screen and click on the Monitor Icon Choose Time selection “Yesterday and today” or “In the past
week” depending on the starting date of the run; the system will display both Action, Employee and Payroll Accounting Transactions that have been processed during the selected period.
Unsuccessful runs will have either a yellow or a red status indicator.
Double click on the Payroll Accounting Run to be recovered. Follow the “Analysis” steps to obtain more information on the
reason of failure, including “Job Overview” in the source system. If the run was abended for any reason, the “Analysis” will lead you to the dumps for the date and date –1. Look for the dump with “ALEREMOTE” userid and within the range of time of your run. Note the reason if you need further assistance from others. Exit “Analysis”.
At the Monitor: Detail screen, select “Update Data” tab in the middle of the screen.
Scroll down and view the number of yellow and red status indicators. Typically, the Payroll Transaction will take well over 200 data packets.
If the Payroll Delta Update run has not processed more than ½ of the data packets successfully, it would be less time consuming and less prone to error by taking the “Full Back Out Procedure” list below.
If there are less than a dozen yellow and red status indicators, take the Partial Back Out Procedure.
8.1.2. Full Back Out Procedure
Follow the procedures: Determine the state of affair, but seek the previous successful run date for the Payroll Delta Transaction and note the date.
Logon to HRP system; At the command line, execute transaction SE38.
Execute Program “YSET0439”. At the range selection, enter Pernr range from 00000001 to
000999999. At the run date, enter the date of last successful run date
determined at the first step of this procedure. Turn off ‘Test’ flag
Page 31
BW/HR Implementation
Execute by clicking the green check mark with a white flower on the top.
System will generate a list of records reset back to last successful run date.
Select menu path ‘System -> List -> Save-> local file’ to Save listing on your local drive as your Record.
8.1.3. Partial Back Out Procedure
Follow the procedures: Determine the state of affair, but seek the previous successful run date for the Payroll Delta Transaction and note the date.
Go back to the current failed run; Scroll down to the unsuccessful data packet that has a “yellow” or “red” status indicator. Note the data packet number.
Steps to Locate the Failed Pernr Range: Back up and highlight the last successful data, click on the “Tool
box” icon on the bottom left of the screen which will bring you to the current data packet in PSA.
Select the data packet and enter the last 500 record numbers (e.g. if data packet consists record 000001 to 0012500; enter 12000 to 12500 in the bottom of this screen).
The actual records will be displayed. Scroll down to the bottom and note down the Pernr (employee) number that was last successfully processed. The Start Pernr range of the failed data packet = Pernr + 1.
Locate the next successful data packet after the failed data packet. Click on the “Tool box” icon on the bottom left of the screen which will bring you to the current data packet in the PSA.
Select the data packet and enter the first 500 record numbers (e.g. if data packet consists record 000001 to 0012500; enter 000001 to 000500 in the bottom of this screen).
The actual records will be displayed. Scroll down to the bottom and note the Pernr (employee) number that was last successfully processed. The End Pernr range of the failed data packet = Pernr -1.
Repeat the Steps to Locate Failed Pernr Range for each Failed Data Packet. CAREFULLY record each set of Pernr Ranges.
Logon to HRP; At the command line, execute transaction SE38. Execute Program “YSET0439”. At the range selection, enter each set of the Failed Pernr Ranges At the run date, enter the date of the last successful run date
determined at the first step of this procedure. Turn on the ‘Test’ flag, if you want to run a simulation; turn it off
for a real run. Execute by clicking the green check mark with a white flower on
the top. System will generate a list of records reset back to last successful
run date. Select menu path ‘System -> List -> Save-> local file’ to save the listing on your local drive as your record.
