Hi, Guys.
My name is Asif Iqbal, and I am working in a reputed company as an Assistant Manager (HR). Unfortunately, this company has no provision to use the SAP Package. So, I decided to enroll myself in the SAP-HR course, which is just a two-month course from any good institution. My idea is to start a discussion on SAP-HR practical issues as well as theoretical parts. I invite everyone, regardless of age or gender, to join us in studying SAP-HR.
Hope to see you guys here soon.
Thanks & Regards,
Asif Iqbal.

Assalamo Alaykum,
Guys, thank you very much for being supportive and interested in this thread. I am so sorry for the delayed reply due to some official work. So, first of all, I am introducing one file here for all my friends. This file is about how to install SAP software on our PCs. Nowadays, it is common that when we use SAP modules on our PCs or laptops, we encounter problems day by day. To resolve this, we often need to contact technical persons, who charge a lot of money to fix even minor issues.
I am going to introduce this chapter for you all to note down the steps to install SAP software (R/3) in our systems for future reference. I hope you will find this helpful. Part II will be uploaded very soon based on your responses.
Till then, God bless you. Allah Hafiz.

Assalamu alaikum, well Zooni. It is not easy to say from where you can get the software because it is not easily available in the market. You may obtain a copy of the software from the instructor of the institute if you are nearest to him/her. This means it will be very easy. Hope to provide you with the same software at the earliest. It consists of 10 CDs.

Hi Amit Gera,
Thanks for showing your interest in this thread. Well, we are just trying to learn ourselves because self-effort is the best effort.
Amit, this is in the orientation of your earlier query regarding any good institute. See, Amit, there is only one institute certified to train people practically, which is SIEMENS (which is quite costly). Other institutes only cover the need of SAP-HR and how to use it, and most importantly, the theoretical part of each chapter.
But from what I have seen, no local institute covers all the chapters of SAP-HR. So, my suggestion to you is to visit personally any renowned institute, ask for a study brochure, go through it, compare all brochures, and then the decision is up to you, dude.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Asif.

Personnel Time Management (PT) [IMG]http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/images/locate.gif[/IMG]
Purpose
The Personnel Time Management component offers you support in performing all human resources processes involving the planning, recording, and valuation of internal and external employees� work performed and absence times. It provides other SAP applications with planning data and delivers information to business processes such as:
Time Management enables you to record time and labor data online or using self-service applications. The self-service applications range from the classic time recording subsystem, through Web applications, to mobile business applications. Employees can use these applications to request leave, record working times for orders or projects, for example, and display their key time accounts.
Time Management allows you to represent all company agreements, collective agreement stipulations, and legal requirements the world over. It is highly flexible, meaning that you can support new concepts such as managing long-term time accounts.
Implementation Considerations
You can select the scope of functions individually within Personnel Time Management. You can:

Features
Planning employee time and labor
You can use Shift Planning to plan working times, shifts, and absences for the employees assigned to you. You can take the employees' qualifications, working time preferences, laws, guidelines, and cost factors into account.
You can make sure there are enough qualified employees available for the tasks at hand. If required, you can make changes to schedules and put employees at the disposal of other departments. You can simulate shift planning to check and valuate the anticipated amount of overtime, for example. You can provide employees and supervisors with planning overviews.
For more information, see Shift Planning (PT-SP).
Recording and administering time and labor data
You are not limited to one method of time recording when entering time and labor data. There are different methods of time recording depending on the technical prerequisites, the demands on the data being recorded, and the employee's tasks:
You can enter durations (hours) or times (clock times). You are not limited to one particular concept of time data recording: You can represent different concepts in different areas of your enterprise, from recording all actual times (positive recording) to recording only deviations to the work schedule (negative recording).
For more information, see Time Data Recording and Administration and Time Manager�s Workplace.
Evaluating time and labor data
You can use time evaluation to valuate time data and provide bonus and overtime wage types for SAP HR Payroll or a third-party payroll system. Time evaluation is flexible enough to accommodate even the most complex legal regulations, such as fully-automated calculation of leave and time-off entitlements in the USA, New Zealand, or Australia. This also includes legal regulations such as the Family and Medical Leave Act in the USA.
Time evaluation efficiently evaluates recorded times and checks individual company and standard working time provisions. Automatic checks for value limits minimize the effort in administrating and monitoring data thanks to the message processing function for time administrators. Time evaluation manages all kinds of time accounts, such as the flextime balance, overtime accounts, or lifetime working time accounts. Simulations enable you to valuate future work and leave entitlements.
For more information, see Time Evaluation.
Calculating incentive wages data
You can use Incentive Wages to enter, prepare, and valuate payroll-relevant data for employees who are paid incentive wages or a premium wage. Both forms of payment take account of employees� performance.
You can implement incentive wages for individuals or for groups. In individual incentive wages, the amount of remuneration depends on one individual�s performance only, whereas in group incentive wages, the result of the entire group is taken into account.
You can transfer payroll-relevant data from a logistics system to the human resources system. This is especially relevant for work confirmations from the following SAP logistics systems:

You are not limited to one method of time recording when entering time and labor data. There are different methods of time recording depending on the technical prerequisites, the demands on the data being recorded, and the employee's tasks:
- Your employees post their working times at external time recording subsystems. You can use the certified HR-PDC interface (which has more than 60 certified providers) for this purpose.
- Your employees use the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) to record information on their working times. You can use the recorded data for further business processes in Human Resources, Logistics, and Controlling.
- Your employees use Web applications or mobile devices to record their working times and receive information about their planned and actual working times. These include applications for the Cross-Application Time Sheet, clock-in and clock-out postings, and for displaying time accounts and work schedules.
- Your time administrators, such as supervisors and secretaries, use the Time Manager's Workplace to correct and complete decentrally the time data of the employees assigned to them.
- Your time administrators in the Human Resources department use the Maintain Time Data transaction to check and complete employees� time data centrally.
You can enter durations (hours) or times (clock times). You are not limited to one particular concept of time data recording: You can represent different concepts in different areas of your enterprise, from recording all actual times (positive recording) to recording only deviations to the work schedule (negative recording).

Use
In the Time Management component you can group employee subareas and personnel subareas according to areas of responsibility. Special processing rules can then be defined for these groupings.
This concept allows you to combine several personnel subareas in one grouping so that the same working time provisions apply. This helps to reduce the amount of time involved in entering the work schedule arrangements valid in your company. This concept also allows you to represent special rules for small personnel subareas, employee subgroups, or even individual employees in the SAP System.
Integration
The Time Management component is closely integrated in the organizational structure of your enterprise. When working with Time Management, it is therefore essential that you maintain certain master data infotypes for your employees. One of the most important infotypes is Organizational Assignment (0001), which contains data on the organizational units to which the employee is assigned within the enterprise (personnel area, employee subgroup, and so on).
Features
You can use the groupings of employee subgroups and personnel subareas to:
The following employee subgroup and personnel subarea groupings can be used in Time Management:
[IMG]http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/images/hinweis.gif[/IMG]
If you encounter frequent error messages, this may be due to the fact that the organizational structures stored in the system are not being taken into account. For example, it is not possible to assign a work schedule to an employee in a particular personnel subarea if the work schedule has not been defined for this personnel subarea.

Use
To represent and process the time structures in your company, the SAP System requires the following essential pieces of information:
- Which times and working patterns employees have to workYou can store information on working times and patterns in work schedules. A work schedule describes the planned duration of working time and the working time pattern for a specific calendar period. The different elements of the work schedule permit flexibility when entering working time models and working times. When you customize the system, you can define a number of working time variants for different regional public holiday calendars and employee subgroup and personnel subarea groupings.
- Which weekdays and public holidays employees have to work: Reference to the public holiday calendarThe public holiday calendar is based on an actual year and allows you to apply your working time models to a specific time period.
It is essential to use the public holiday calendar for recording your employees� attendances and absences: the payroll program can only be run correctly if Sundays and public holidays and so on are taken into account.
The public holiday calendar is created on the basis of the regional and national holidays that are valid for your personnel areas and subareas. Company-specific days off can also be entered in the calendar. - Which work schedule deviations are recorded and how they are processed
The following are only a few of the possible Customizing options which allow you to control the entry and processing of time data in your system:
- In addition to the common absence types such as leave and illness, you can enter special absence types such as additional leave for severely challenged persons, time off for overtime, and maternity leave. The system also provides special infotypes for entry of absences that may require further processing - absence as the result of an industrial accident, for example.
- You can define specific plausibility checks for the entry of attendances and absences. In this way, you can specify that only female employees are entitled to maternity protection, and that only severely challenged employees are entitled to additional leave for severely challenged persons, for instance.
Furthermore, you can specify the actual times, weekdays, Sundays, and public holidays on which particular absences and attendances are permitted.
- Quotas can be assigned to employees for particular attendances and absences. The quotas are maintained automatically in the system. The most common of these is the leave quota, in which you can store the number of days of leave to which an employee is entitled.
Attendance quotasenable you to control the amount of overtime employees can work, and also when they are permitted to work overtime.
- Time constraints are used in Time Management to prevent undesired overlapping or collision of attendances and/or absences.
- You can define how long an employee is entitled to a particular attendance or absence type, whether the employee is to be paid for the attendance/absence, and the rate and duration of payment.
- You can set indicators that are processed individually when time data is evaluated in Payroll. These allow you to define how employees are to be remunerated for working on days off or public holidays, for example.

Purpose
You store working and break times for groups of employees in this component. This then allows you to structure working times for your enterprise. You can define work schedules with flextime models or rotating shifts for particular organizational units. You can also set up the legislative regulations, collective agreements, and internal company policies that stipulate employee working time in your system.

The Work Schedule is an essential element of Human Resources. Human Resources data is an extension of information entered in a work schedule. The Work Schedule component optimizes SAP Human Resources and saves the user valuable time when defining the working time model for your enterprise.
The work schedule is the information medium for all employees who work on time-based schedules. It also contains a detailed overview of all working times. In addition to setting up working times and break times, you can use the work schedule for scheduling and monitoring the organization and coordination of all divisions in your enterprise.

Features
Work schedules are based on a number of elements that can be used separately or be combined to define working times and break times for the employees in your enterprise. Thus, you can define these elements in a variety of ways, depending on individual business requirements. This "pool" of elements enables you to set up new versions of work schedules by combining the elements in a variety of ways. You can then react to new working time provisions and other such regulations without wasting valuable time and costs.
In a work schedule, you can:
such as different shift models for different places of work, or different public holiday calendars for subsidiaries of your enterprise that are based in another area.
In this way, for example, you can distinguish between public holidays when payment demands occur. You can define, for example, that if employees work on a Christmas public holiday, the remuneration should be greater than if they work on any other public holiday. Similarly, you can also define that only employees of a specific religious denomination should be granted the relevant religious public holidays.
You do not have to define working times and break times for each employee individually; you can simply assign the separate elements of the work schedule to employee subgroup groupings and personnel subarea groupings. Work schedules become personal work schedules only when the employee is actually assigned to an employee subgroup or personnel subarea.
In this way, you get the most flexibility when designing your working time models and simultaneously save valuable time that would have been spent on data entry, as well as reducing related processing costs.
[IMG]http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/images/beispiel.gif[/IMG]
A break schedule can be assigned to several different daily work schedules, and thus only needs to be defined once. By assigning a break schedule to several daily work schedules, you are actually creating a number of different work schedules.

Definition
A work schedule consists of several different elements that can be combined much like building blocks in a variety of ways to form a complete work schedule. These elements can still be processed individually, offering flexibility and precision when you define and set up the time data relevant for your business requirements. Furthermore, you can react to changes in internal and external working time provisions, such as new collective agreements, payscale changes, and legislative regulations with minimal expenditure of time and costs. You only have to modify the applicable element to reflect the new time provisions, and changes are automatically made to working time in the work schedule.
Use
The following elements are available and allow you to do the following:

Purpose
You store working and break times for groups of employees in this component. This then allows you to structure working times for your enterprise. You can define work schedules with flextime models or rotating shifts for particular organizational units. You can also set up the legislative regulations, collective agreements, and internal company policies that stipulate employee working time in your system.

Use
Scheduling working times for each area of your enterprise is a time-intensive process. You can reduce time and cost expenditure when scheduling working times by grouping together organizational units that require the same work schedules.
You set up your desired work schedules in the Customizing steps in the Work Schedules section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Time Management. To create work schedules, set up the following groupings:
Your enterprise consists of several organizational units, which are located in different cities. The personnel area Pharmacy is divided into the following personnel subareas:
Personnel Subarea Groupings (PSG) for Work Schedules (WS)
0001 City A � Grpg PSG for DWS 02
0002 City B � Grpg PSG for DWS 01
0003 City C � Grpg PSG for DWS 02
You define two work schedules as flextime models, one for 40 hours per week, the other for 35 hours per week. Assign flextime with 40 hours per week to the personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedule 02 (Grpg PSG for DWS) and the flextime with 35 hours a weeks to the personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedule 01 (Gprg PSG for DWS).

You set up your desired work schedules in the Customizing steps in the Work Schedules section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Time Management. To create work schedules, set up the following groupings:
- Organizational units where employees have the same working times. Here you create personnel groups and personnel subgroups. This enables you to group together divisions or plans that work according to the same regional or local working time provisions. Any type of legal change, such as a new working time provision stipulating that only 4 hours may be worked on Sundays, can be carried out in one step at one time for all elements of this group.
- Employee subgroups � members of group work according to the same working times. Here you create employee subgroup groupings such as hourly wage earners, salaried employees, trainees, and so on. This enables you to group together employees who work according to the same work schedule rules, such as flextime, 3-shift operations, and so on. Even working time provisions in collective agreements, such as employees having a shift off after a night shift, can be carried out at one time for all elements of this group.
Your enterprise consists of several organizational units, which are located in different cities. The personnel area Pharmacy is divided into the following personnel subareas:

Assalamu Alaikum,
Could you please tell me where you are taking the classes for SAP-HR? I am also taking classes and am at the initial stage. Will you please tell me, if one should get a job in SAP-HR, what are the criteria for that? I am doing four sub-modules: OM, PA, TM & Payroll. I have completed OM and now I am in PA. I have a question for you, is only practical knowledge sufficient to get a job or is there anything more?
Please let me know.

We have to purchase SAP HR, and I think its cost is around 1-2 lacs, and maintenance cost per year is high. However, I don't have any idea. If someone could share how much we have to invest in the software and maintenance cost, then it will be useful.
For SAP courses, there are many private institutions that provide such courses. But if we don't have SAP in our organization, then it is not useful to do the course because if we do not practice, we will forget what we have learned in the course after 6-12 months.
