This document aims to give you an overview of the processes involved in changing over to the euro in the SAP R/3 Human Resources component.

The euro changeover package provides you with assistance and support during your HR changeover project. However, it should not be considered a replacement for an individual in-house project addressing the particular requirements of your company with regard to the changeover. Please note, however, that the tools may not provide the support you need and may require modification, especially if you have implemented functionality of your own, and/or your system contains customer-specific modifications.

You should consider the following points before you actually start making the changeover:

• Analyze your business requirements and draw up a personal changeover plan
• Include the HR department in discussions, and collect information from the employees involved
• Draw up a timetable for the changeover, remembering especially to take into account the times when the system will not be available for users

Please also note that the changeover activities can only be made in the sequence described in the Implementation Guide and that the prerequisites specified in the corresponding report documentation must be fulfilled.

This document is aimed at users/project managers who would like to gain a detailed insight into the changeover scenarios implemented in the SAP HR System.

The documentation is split into an international part that is valid for all countries participating in the EMU, and a national part containing additional information for Germany and Austria.
