Personal Data Service

Use

The Personal Data service enables the employees in your enterprise to display and edit their own personal data. In this way, employees can keep their own data up-to-date, while simultaneously reducing the number of time-consuming and expensive activities performed by the Human Resources Department.

Features

In this service, the fields are reduced to their essentials so that newly hired employees with no knowledge of the SAP system can also edit their own personal data.

The Personal data service has country-specific screens for:

  • Argentina

  • Australia

  • Brazil

  • Germany

  • France

  • United Kingdom

  • Hong Kong

  • Indonesia

  • Ireland

  • Italy

  • Canada

  • Malaysia

  • Mexico

  • New Zealand

  • The Netherlands

  • Austria

  • Philippines

  • Portugal

  • Singapore

  • Spain

  • South Africa

The screen that appears for a specific employee depends on that employee’s assignment to a certain personnel area. If a country other than those listed above uses the HTML template, the French screen appears by default. This is because this screen is the most general. Other country-specific screens will be made available in later releases.

Modification Options

You can deactivate fields as required, or change them into display fields (which prevents them from being maintained).
