You use this function to integrate the SAP E-Recruiting system with the HR system, using an
SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure
(XI interface) interface.
In
SAP E-Recruiting
candidates can apply for jobs. A selection process finds the suitable candidate to hire. You can transfer candidate data on the employment contract from the SAP E-Recruiting system into the HR system as a request, and process it further.
SAP E-Recruiting
differentiates between the following types of applicants:
Internal candidates: Applicants that are already active employees of the company
External candidates: Applicants that are not employees, or are not active employees of the company
The following cases are possible:
The person was already employed in the company, but left the company.
A personnel number with the employment status
Left Company
exists in the HR system.
The person was an employee of the company and has retired.
A personnel number with the employment status
Pensioner
exists in the HR system.
The person is maintained in the company as “inactive”.
A personnel number with the employment status
Inactive
exists in the HR system.
The person was not yet an employee of the company.
No personnel number exists in the HR system.
Depending on the type of the applicant and the transferred data, the HR Administrator receives appropriate suggestions for the processing in the HR system.
The data is sent as an XI message to the HR system. The HR Administrator receives the data as a workflow work item. The processing of the work item is divided into the following steps:
In the first step, an HR Administrator selects a suitable request and the related process, as required.
If the system does not find any inconsistencies when checking the transmitted data, the HR Administrator can directly select a process.
If inconsistencies occur, the HR Administrator has an additional view. He or she can perform the following activities:
Select Type of Request
The HR Administrator can decide between the following requests:
New hire request
Rehire request
Transfer request
Find Employees
In the HR system, the HR Administrator can search for a person or personnel number, and select a different personnel number for the process to the personnel number suggested. The system checks whether the combination of selected request type and personnel number is permitted.
Reject Message
The HR Administrator can specify a reason to reject the request from
SAP
E-Recruiting
.
When the HR Administrator has determined the required request type and personnel number, he or she then selects the appropriate process.
In the second step, the same, or a different HR Administrator performs the selected process.
You use the XI content that is available for HCM Processes and Forms for the integration. For more information, see XI Content for HCM Processes and Forms and Extended XI Content for HCM Processes and Forms .
