Digitize complex HR processes & make them available in SAP Fiori
Especially in times when the HR department has to focus intensively on its core competencies such as payroll accounting, employee concerns and routine tasks take a back seat. This causes processes to falter and makes everyone involved dissatisfied. It is obvious that this does not have to be the case and could be replaced by process automation and self-services.
The implementation of complex processes/workflows across multiple stages, with approval, document generation, and final posting to SAP HCM infotypes are also requirements that must be met.
In order to be able to introduce digitized HR processes even more flexibly in the future and to offer the whole thing in a mobile-enabled form for SAP Fiori, we have developed the “scdsoft Process Engine.” Further information and screenshots can be found in our blog entry.

Selected HR processes included as best-practice templates in the functional scope of the scdsoft Process Engine:

Digital integration of all process participants
The process can be started by an employee, a manager or HR. The underlying processing/approval chain can be differentiated depending on the process. The involvement of works councils is also possible.
Transparency and information
The parties involved in the process have transparency regarding the application status at all times. At the end of a process, information is sent to the participants and, if necessary, a posting is made in the corresponding infotype of the SAP HCM system. In addition, a document can be generated as confirmation.
Mobile-enabled with SAP Fiori
