The Previous employer service enables the employees at your enterprise to display and edit data on their own previous employers. 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.

If an employee uses this service to update his or her previous employers, the old data is automatically delimited. Old HR data is not lost. Instead, it is kept in full so that historical evaluations are possible.

Intranet - Employee Self-Service

There are no restrictions concerning which employees can use this service.

An employee must have an SAP user that is directly linked to his or her R/3 employee master data via the Communication infotype (0105).

SAP provides a role containing all the necessary authorizations.

To set up SAP users, you have to make various settings in Customizing. For further information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Management under Personnel Management ® Employee Self-Service.

In this service, the fields are reduced to their essentials so that employees who have no knowledge of the SAP System can also change data on their previous employers.

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

The following R/3 development objects are used for this service.
