SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) is a comprehensive HR (Human Resources) management system offered by SAP SE. It is designed to help organizations manage their workforce effectively by automating HR processes, maintaining employee data, and supporting various HR-related functions. Here are key aspects and functionalities of SAP HCM:
- Organizational Management (OM): SAP HCM’s OM component allows organizations to model and manage their organizational structures, including departments, positions, organizational units, and reporting hierarchies. It provides a clear view of the company’s organizational framework.
- Personnel Administration (PA): PA is at the core of SAP HCM and manages essential employee data, such as personal information, employment history, work schedules, and payroll-related data. It ensures data consistency across the organization.
- Time Management (TM): TM enables the recording and management of employee working hours, attendance, leaves, and absences. It supports time tracking, absence approval processes, and the calculation of employee working time.
