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

What our customers say

"Since we started working with the scdsoft certificate generator, writing certificates has become even more fun!!!

The add-on solution from scdsoft has been adapted to our specific needs in such a way that many manual steps are now no longer necessary, making certificate creation much more efficient for us. Thanks to the intuitive menu navigation, the certificate generator has been very well received by all our user groups."

"We have been working with scdsoft AG for several years in the area of our SAP HCM Payroll. We value scdsoft as an extremely reliable partner who always provides us with professional, competent and friendly support. For example, we received outstanding support even during a short-term personnel bottleneck. We also use several SAP HCM add-on solutions from scdsoft AG, such as the vacation planner, certification service and the overtime application. Thanks to the automated workflows, we have achieved significant process optimization and greater transparency for our employees."

"We have introduced scdsoft's employment reference software for a total of around 30,000 employees at the Schaeffler Group's German locations. The new software was adapted to our company-specific requirements. Thanks to the intuitive user interface, it was well received by our users and could be introduced to the workforce without any training. We feel that our decision in favor of scdsoft's certificate solution has been confirmed and would make the same decision again at any time after the end of the project."

"We have received consistently positive feedback so far. In particular, the usability with SAP Fiori and the clarity of the "vacation planner" are frequently mentioned. In addition to the productivity gain, the increase in transparency is also praised again and again. scdsoft starts where SAP leaves off."

"In addition to the standard documents (LStB, DEÜV notification), we have made other customer-specific documents from our personnel file available to employees via the certification service. The service, via the SAP Fiori application, has been very well received by our employees. With the savings compared to paper processes, the project pays for itself very quickly."

"The advantages of the Reference Letter Creator are clearly and explicitly visible from the beginning: Due to the add-on solution, the processing time of reference letters that need to be created is reduced significantly."

"We see a major advantage in the integration between the vacation planning process within a team as well as requesting the vacation. Especially the transparency of the team calendar makes the process much easier."

"Our experience has shown that the Reference Letter Creator can be used by all users without any training measures. The great advantage is that the entire solution can be productively implemented in 4-6 weeks and is available for the user immediately."

"The scdsoft Daily Timesheet has taken time recording at TRILUX to a new level. It enables extremely efficient and user-friendly time recording that can be perfectly integrated into everyday working life. We at TRILUX are particularly impressed by the intuitive usability and versatile functions. The app is an indispensable tool for keeping track of working times at all times."
