Your SAP® ERP system contains critical information to help you run your business. And as an HR professional, you're sending thousands of documents every year to a diverse audience including employees and colleagues, managers, business partners, consultants and subcontractors. Many of these documents are personalized and tailored to the recipient, and may need your specific corporate branding. Creating these documents manually is time-consuming and error-prone - and taking this highly confidential info out of SAP is a major security risk.
Meet Query Manager with Document Builder: create richly formatted letters, documents, reports and visualizations directly in SAP for secure automated distribution. Query Manager is certified by SAP for ‘Integration with RISE with SAP S/4HANA’.

What challenge does Document Builder solve?
How Document Builder solves the challenge


Automate document creation
You send thousands of letters to your employees each year including New Hire Communications, Annual Reviews, Leave Notifications, Employee Payslip Explanations, Total Compensation Statements, Training Completion Certificates, Service Award Letters and W2 address confirmations.
Without Document Builder, the creation of these letters is a manual, time-consuming, costly and error-prone exercise. Document Builder enables you to design, generate and distribute professional HR documents, live from your SAP HCM system. Use a single document to output multiple versions of a letter that includes different content based on custom conditions.

Easy, secure distribution
Powerful scheduling and distribution capabilities save time via automation. Distribute documents via email, sending each employee's document directly to them, or print documents in bulk. Feed documents into your business or workflow process via file-level integration, and password protect and encrypt sensitive PDF documents. Document Builder gives you enormous flexibility and control.
Reduce security risks
Document Builder uses the standard SAP security model for authorization and access control. By designing documents directly in SAP, you save time, money and effort, and importantly, reduce the risk of taking your data outside of SAP into other applications like Microsoft Excel or Word where it is no longer protected by SAP Security. Industry standard password protection and encryption is available to provide further peace of mind.
Eliminate custom code
Put an end to the use of SAPscript and SmartForms, and the need for custom ABAP development. Document Builder empowers users to create and produce documents effortlessly.
Sign electronically
An output extension/destination inside the Query Manager with Document Builder solution leverages the third-party solution DocuSign to allow our clients to electronically sign, prepare, act on, and manage documents. Read more about how easy this is to use.
Design visually
Document Builder was developed to provide a first-class design experience. The intuitive user interface makes designing professional-looking documents easier than ever. Get started by simply dragging and dropping visual elements onto a page.
Add tables, charts, images, barcodes and more to your designs with little effort, and customize and style as needed. Our document generation produces great-looking documents that mirror your designs.
International content
All document content, whether text or images, can be internationalized. At document generation time there are several options available to decide which language to use, from using one pre-selected language, to automatically selecting a language per document.
Document Builder has been our biggest win, to be honest. Our letters generate on-screen for our HR and Shared Services colleagues. So once they have administered an action in SAP, they can generate the letter via Query Manager and Document Builder, and they can go through it on screen and check exactly what is there. They are then very clear that what is shown on the PDF is exactly what is in SAP. They can also very easily rectify any mistakes.
Chris Layton, the BCC
When we discovered Query Manager with Document Builder, we realised that we would solve not just one problem but a whole lot more.
Siobhan Evans, HR Systems Manager, University of Cape Town
Document Builder is the perfect solution for Jabil, as it gives us the ability to read the employee data in SAP and seamlessly incorporate it into the contract. With Document Builder, I knew we would no longer need ABAP programmers, and the changes could be done directly in Production in a day or so. Since these are legal documents this was very important. Document Builder has increased the efficiency of our document creation process by 95%, reducing the project time from three weeks to one day.
Cindy Thomas, IT Technical Lead – HR, Jabil
We have been very happy with Document Builder; it was a worthwhile investment for us, and we’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response from those using it. The new way of doing things is much, much quicker – we just enter a few details and run the report – and most of the information is in the system anyway
Richard Cain, HR Systems Adviser, Dorset Council
