Life and Work Events 

Technical name: com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_life_work

Use

The applications in the Life and Work Events area enable you to depict processes that are triggered by various events in your employees’ private and professional lives. These include an employee's new job or a change in his or her employment status. These also include events in an employee's private life that have an effect on HR data, such as the birth of a child or marriage.

You can consolidate many different documents, such as information texts, employee self-service applications, forms, tasks, and background information into a process for such an event by ordering them appropriately. Employees can then work through the documents step by step, and indicate each individual step as completed. Life and Work Events can therefore replace the usual checklists.

Prerequisites

Life and Work Events are based on Guided Procedures, a framework that provides you with simple and user-friendly tools that enable you to define and administer workflows. For information about Guided Procedures, see SAP Library under SAP NetWeaver ® SAP NetWeaver Library ® SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability ® SAP Composite Application Framework (CAF) ® CAF Guided Procedures.

Features

The standard system includes the following life and work events:

●     My First Days

●     Birth/Adoption

●     Marriage

●     Divorce

●     Benefits

●     Change in Employment Status

●     Terminate Employment

You can use the model processes provided by SAP and adapt them to suit your requirements, or you can create your own processes. You can divide comprehensive processes into separate blocks and assign the iViews, in the order you require, to these blocks.

The standard system contains a variety of iViews with HTML content that you can use as templates for your own HTML documents. You can replace individual HTML pages with your own content. At this time, the sample HTML pages are only available in English. For more information, see HTML Content.
