This structure is used to help in the reporting process. It is also used in classifying employees into different groupings to make them eligible or ineligible for specific processes within each of the individual modules of the SAP R/3 software. Organizational Management
Organizational Management forms the basis for the entire personnel planning and development application. The administration of structural data facilitates analysis of the organizational structure as well as organizational customizing. This component allows you to engage in wide-ranging human resources planning, and enables you to develop actual and proposed personnel scenarios. Personnel Administration
Personnel Administration establishes organizational hierarchies and their control functions using a system of control tables. This application component is used to perform essential personnel administration tasks such as hiring employees, performing organizational reassignments, and ensuring that the correct data is entered in the system when employees leave the enterprise. Employee data in the Personnel Administration application component is stored in such a way that you can easily access and maintain the data at any time. Recruitment
Recruitment has all the functions you need for working through the entire recruitment procedure. The Recruitment component contains an entire range of powerful, flexible functions that you can use to implement an effective and largely automated recruitment strategy.

Benefits Administration offers you a comprehensive method of administering employee benefits. This application component encompasses the key concepts and processes you need to manage extensive and highly individual benefits packages for your employees. Compensation Management
Compensation Management provides a toolset for strategic remuneration planning that reflects your organization's culture and pay strategies, and it empowers managers to offer competitive and motivating remuneration, be it fixed pay, variable pay, merit increases, or promotion. The Personnel Cost Planning part focuses on the costs associated with maintaining a staff, for example, wages and salaries. It allows you to experiment with and to project future costs. You can also work with costs that are not typically associated with maintaining a staff, for example, you can include employee training and education costs, as well as funds allocated for employee social activities, in the calculations. Time Management
Time Management enables flexible representation of all personnel procedures involved in recording and evaluating employee time data. It also allows you to transfer absence and attendance data to other SAP applications. Payroll Accounting
Payroll Accounting allows you to process payroll for employees in the United States, using data from SAP Personnel Administration and Benefits under a wide variety of configurations. The SAP Payroll system also offers a number of standard payroll reports. The Tax Reporter component allows you to generate all required state and federal tax forms, such as SUI reports and W-2s. Further reports can be generated using Ad Hoc Query. Training and Events Management
The Training and Event Management component has functions to enable you to plan and manage all kinds of business events from training events to conventions simply and efficiently. It has interfaces to all of the relevant R/3 application components, making it a basis for extending and updating your employees' skills and knowledge. Integration with Personnel Development lets you convert training proposals directly into bookings for employees with qualification deficits or needs. Its flexible reporting and appraisal functions provide you with important decision support feedback to ensure that the business events you offer are both high quality and effective. Personnel Development
A companys personnel development needs are determined by comparing current or future work requirements with employees qualifications, preferences and aspirations. Career and succession planning scenarios might contain personnel development measures that are geared toward finding someone to fill a specific post. They can also contain more

Employee Self-Service (ESS) enables employees to create, display, and change their own data in the intranet used at their enterprise. By enabling employees to access their own data, HR processes are standardized and simplified. As a result, employees in the Human Resources Department can concentrate on other tasks of greater strategic importance. HR Funds and Position Management
With HR Funds and Position Management, you can finance employees for specific periods of time. You can determine the funds required for financing employees by reading data from default value tables, or by simulating a payroll accounting run. When you finance employees, this generates fund commitments in Funds Management. These commitments are then replaced by the actual payroll data of the employees who were financed. HR Workflow
HR Workflow is used in order to carry out numerous business and human resources processes. You need an organizational plan, that is, a functional structure representing your enterprise based on tasks or duties that need to be done. You then link these tasks or duties with the agents possible from an organizational point of view. This link allows the workflow management system to find the "appropriate" organizational processing participant(s) (agent) and assign tasks or duties to them. HR Information System
Human Resources Information System provides you with a broad range of reporting functions for all areas of Personnel Management. In addition, it lets you define your own reports efficiently and quickly. Excluded from the above list are Human Resource modules that have been determined out of scope, such as Managers Desktop. Additionally, specific Human Resources business process functionality has been placed out of scope. The functionality deemed out of scope would include processes such as Managers Desktop, Shift Planning, COBRA Administration, Pension Administration, Retirement Limits/Projections, and Employee Performance Apprasials.
Summary of Business Blueprint Analysis Overview: Goal of the Business Blueprint Analysis
The purpose of the business blueprint analysis was to determine business process requirements for The University of Tennessee. The business blueprint document is the main deliverable from the business blueprint phase. This document is a detailed record of results gathered throughout the Universitys business blueprint analysis. From this analysis, The University of Tennessee and TeamSAP will achieve a common understanding of how the University intends to run its business within the framework of SAP R/3. In addition, the business blueprint deliverables become the input into the next phase, Realization (Simulation and Validation). The goal is to move into the next phase with enough information to complete baseline configuration (design) of the Human Resources modules and functionality by the University and TeamSAP.
Business Fit
The following processes have been identified as the core Human Resources processes that will be configured (see appendix G for supporting configuration documentation) during the Realization (Simulation and Validation) phase. Personnel Administration General settings Enterprise structure Employee personal details Information about work relationship Time specifications Payroll specifications Employee hiring Salary adjustments Employee transfer Employee termination Leave of absence Maintain HR master data Displaying of master data Organizational Plan Establish organizational units Establish positions Establish jobs (classes) Maintain organizational units Maintain positions

Recommended Changes
As a by-product of the SAP R/3 implementation, multiple business processes will undergo changes. In some cases, the current process will be mapped directly into a SAP R/3 process. Some core business processes have been identified with recommended changes (see appendix H) to be evaluated by the Universitys core team and Steering Committee. There are currently only a few recommended changes identified at this time in the Human Resources area, which require policy approval. The following summarizes those items identify.
The University needs to consider the possibility of paying all non-exempt employees on a biweekly payroll. Currently non-exempt employees are paid on a monthly payroll and some on a biweekly payroll. An additional issue is Gradute Students (GTA, GA, and GRA). What would we do about them if we move non-exempt to biweekly? (Issue #41, 86) Currently there are different rules on different campuses concerning compensatory time. The University should investigate a single set of rules regarding comp time on all campuses. (Issue #52) A decision needs to be made on how the University wants to implement longevity pay under SAP. Currently if a full-time employee has a break in service, when returning to work, the longevity date is recalculated and the longevity amount is paid on the 19th of the month following the new date. Payment is for whole years of work. The University must decide how they want to calculate the longevity date and the amount to be paid. (Issue #82) The University must decide how they want to handle payment of overtime when an employee is paid from multiple accounts and at multiple rates? Who should be charged for the overtime? (Issue #89) Some entities of the University have a policy that term exempt employees cant be paid for holidays or administrative close days unless they actually work on that day. The University should consider one policy and enforcing it. (Issue #91) Standardization among the procedures that all the Human Resource Departments use throughout the University. These would include Recruitment, Hire, etc. This will also cause a need to redesign forms so that they are standard for all entities. (Issue #39, 60, 61, 65)

Currently there are systems in Academic Affairs on various campuses recording additional information on faculty. The University needs to decide if they want to include any of this information in R/3? Since there are no delivered data elements to accommodate some of the information being captured, additional functionality will need to be developed. (Issue #13)

Enhancements
Enhancement requirements for Human Resources will be required. Specifically, the following will be required: Organizational Management three new object types for census code, job family, and reclassification date Personnel Administration new infotype to contain academic information Personnel Administration new data elements to contain academic information Personnel Administration new data element for phone directory release indicator Personnel Administration new data element for disclosure authorization indicator Benefits new data element for standard accrual factor Benefits work around for HMO benefit eligibility
Report Requirements
Currently, the University has committed to utilizing the SAP R/3 standard reports or by utilizing the reporting functionality of Ad Hoc Query and ABAP Query. However, the University has identified some reports that will require a customized solution. A detailed analysis of these reports will begin during the Realization Phase of the Project.

SAPscript Requirements
SAPscript requirements for Human Resource business forms will be required. Specifically, the following forms will be required:
Recruitment Job Offer Letter (5) Recruitment Faculty Contract Letter (45) Recruitment Rejection Letter (9) Recruitment Acknowledgment Letter (6) Recruitment Interview Letter (4) Training and Events confirmation letter Training and Events cancelation letter Training and Events certificate Payroll checks Payroll remuneration statements Payroll Direct Deposit Advices Numerous tax reporting forms
Authorizations
Authorizations are used within SAP R/3 to secure entry or viewing of specific data or information. The Human Resources team has determined that there will be some level of authorizations managed within the Human Resources department (see appendix L). Furthermore, consideration will be required for all using departments that will have access to SAP R/3 to enter and query Human Resources data. It is the objective of Human Resources Project Team to create security on the basis of roles within the organization. During the Realization Phase of the project, these roles will be defined. The following identifies the key elements that will make up authorizations.
