Personal Data Service 

Use

The Personal Data service enables the employees in your enterprise to display and edit their own personal data. 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.

Features

In this service, the fields are reduced to their essentials so that newly hired employees who have no knowledge of the SAP system can also edit their own personal data.

The Personal data service has country-specific screens for:

·        Argentina

·        Australia

·        Brazil

·        Germany

·        France

·        Great Britain

·        Hong Kong

·        Indonesia

·        Ireland

·        Spain

·        South Africa

·        Taiwan

The screen that appears for a specific employee depends on that employee’s assignment to a certain personnel area. If a country other than those listed above uses the HTML template, it receives the French screen as the default. This is because this screen is the most general. Other country-specific screens will be made available in later releases.
