Employee
Self-Service (ESS) for Asia Pacific 
Use
The SAP Employee Self-Service (ESS) solution for Asia Pacific lets employees in your company retrieve and update data using your corporate intranet and internet.
As of Release 4.6C, eight standard ESS services enable the employees in your enterprise to ensure that the information about themselves are correct while simultaneously reducing the number of time-consuming and expensive activities performed by the Human Resources Department.
In addition to these eight standard services, we provide additional ESS services for specific countries.
Standard ESS Services
Employees can create, display, change, or delete the following personal details in your company's intranet:
- Personal data (infotype 0002)
- Addresses (infotype 0006)
- Emergency address (infotype 0006)
- Bank details (infotype 0009)
- Family/Related person (infotype 0021)
- Previous employer (infotype 0023)
- Hire data (where the employees fill out a form about themselves)
- Paycheck inquiry (where employees can display their own remuneration statements)
These eight ESS services are valid for Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
