Employee Self-Service (ESS) enables employees to create, display, and change their own data in the intranet used at their enterprise. By enabling employees to access their own data, HR processes are standardized and simplified. As a result, employees in the Human Resources Department can concentrate on other tasks of greater strategic importance.

If your employees need to access their own data in the intranet used at the enterprise, they require an SAP user. The system needs to know which ESS user belongs to which employee because employees must only be able to maintain their own data. The component enables you to create relationships between employees and users.

The Employee Self-Service component is comprised not only of services, but also of tools that you require to create relationships between users and employees. You can create new users, or use existing users.
