scdsoft Vacation Planner

SAP HCM add-on solution for a team-oriented vacation planning

The scdsoft vacation planner supports the entire planning, application, and approval process for various types of attendance and absence, especially vacations, within a team. Our SAP HCM add-on solution enables upstream planning and subsequent quick and easy creation and management of vacation requests for the entire team.

The attendance and absence planning also takes into account other types of attendance/absence, such as working from home, customer appointments, seminars/vocational school/dual university, and special types of leave such as special leave and educational leave. Sick leave (including uploading medical certificates, if necessary) can also be covered. Sick leave can be recorded either by the employee, their manager, or colleagues. The scdsoft vacation planner in the SAP Fiori frontend and SAP HCM backend also supports the eAU procedure, which has been in effect since January 1, 2023.

Planning can be carried out within an organizational unit, but also within created teams (created by managers or invitation-based). This also enables the coordination of absences in project teams or based on operational requirements such as minimum staffing levels and qualifications.

Please also note our news about the court ruling regarding the expiry of vacation entitlements in our blog entry.

Planning, requesting and approving of leave – fully integrated in SAP HCM – mobile with SAP Fiori & on-premise

SAP HCM integrated absence & attendance planning

The Vacation Planner allows an upstream vacation planning within the team. It uses the original data of the absence quota and validates it when planning and requesting new entries.

Variably available

Besides Web Dynpro ABAP (NWBC), the Vacation Planner is also applicable to SAP Fiori. This makes the entire process of planning, requesting and approving flexible and possible on a mobile device.

Team-oriented planning

In order to carry out a detailed planning within the division or the project team – depending on competences and qualifications – several teams can be created specifically. Thus, minimum staffing is assured, simultaneous absence of vacation replacements is prevented and conflicts are being validated as well.

Optimize your process regarding the planning as well as approval of absences and attendances
