SAP HR & Payroll

How do you extract accurate, meaningful and real-time information from all of your SAP® HCM and Payroll data? Query Manager™ is a powerful, flexible, easy-to-use solution that solves your reporting challenges. The brilliance of Query Manager is that it empowers you to:

  • Access all your data from a single solution in SAP easily
  • Create your own professional reports and documents without relying on technical resources
  • Work with your SAP HCM data on-demand in Microsoft Excel.

Query Manager has access to virtually any data source, although we deliver content for HCM, Payroll and SuccessFactors Hybrid. Additional data sources which may be added include SAP S/4HANA Finance, as many of our clients have successfully done.

The SAP HCM/HXM reporting challenge

Why is reporting the biggest challenge for SAP HR and Payroll customers, and how does Query Manager solve this?

  • Multiple tools to create reports
  • Reliance on IT
  • SAP Business Warehouse (BW)

Challenge: You need multiple tools to create reports

One of the challenges faced by SAP HCM customers is that multiple tools (Ad Hoc Query, SE16, Custom ABAP, Wage Type Reporter and others) are required to report on critical HR and Payroll data. This data is often collected via these multiple tools and consolidated offline in an application like Microsoft Excel®, Access® or SAP Business Warehouse (BW). The process is time-consuming and increases the risk of errors. It also introduces security and data integrity risks since the data is extracted and manipulated outside of your SAP system.

Solution: Access to all the data you need via a single solution

Query Manager saves you using multiple sources to get the data you need. Examples of real-time data sources available include: SAP Personnel Administration, Payroll (including de-clustered Payroll results), Benefits, Time Management and CATS, Payroll Postings, Organizational Management, On-Premise Talent modules including E-Learning and Performance Management, system configuration and SAP SuccessFactors data.

Challenge: You have to rely on IT

Users of existing SAP reporting solutions often rely on trained IT resources to create or run their reports. The processes can be complex and can require transports (Development to Quality Assurance to Production) and periodic updates. Standard SAP Query solution functionality hasn’t been updated for over 15 years, which brings additional problems. The changing landscape, including the acquisition of SAP SuccessFactors®, can make your reporting landscape even more complex.

Solution: A simple user interface puts reports at your fingertips

You are up and running with the solution immediately - it’s just an SAP transport to install. You can use over 250 pre-delivered reports immediately, search the online community for existing reports, or easily build your own reports. Query Manager gives you control over what you want to see, the report appearance, and how you distribute the output.

Challenge: Your critical data is not available in SAP Business Warehouse (BW)

As an offline data repository, BW only stores aggregated data and doesn’t include real-time information. It usually does not include any transactional or operational data, and the Payroll InfoCube only allows for monthly results.

Solution: All this - and so much more

Query Manager enables you to create powerful reports, regardless of your HCM deployment. It is integrated with SAP SuccessFactors for On-premise SAP and hybrid SAP SuccessFactors reporting. It also allows you to add your own data sources inside SAP or your own external non-SAP data source, perform calculations on your data, create charts via the Fiori app, produce amazing outputs via Document Builder, and schedule and distribute reports automatically.

SAP SuccessFactors Hybrid

As you journey from On-premise SAP to SuccessFactors, you may find yourself in a Hybrid scenario, using some SAP and some SuccessFactors modules at the same time. With Query Manager, reporting on data from both systems at the same time is easy:

  • SuccessFactors is simply another data source available to you in Query Manager
  • Data is read in real time, and there is no duplication of the data
  • Data is managed via the strict SAP and SuccessFactors’ security protocols

 Available on the SAP Store    Integration monitoring

SAP SuccessFactors Hybrid Benefits

Create reports with data from both systems

Compare legacy HR and Payroll data

You may have started your cloud journey with a Talent solution from SuccessFactors, while still using your On-premise SAP HR and Payroll. Query Manager makes it easy for you to access both, allowing you to report on employee data from the SAP database and recruitment data in SuccessFactors.

Compare legacy HR and Payroll data

Create reports with data from both systems

When data is moved from one system to another, you need to ensure that it is accurate and consistent, without discrepancies.

Check data replication errors

Check data replication errors4

Data replication means making sure you have the correct data in the right systems. It’s the process of storing data in more than one place to improve its availability, and often involves copying data from one place to another. Query Manager gives you confidence in the data replication process and allows you to audit for consistency.

Assist with system updates & Support Pack Testing

Assist with system updates & Support Pack Testing2

Applying each Support Pack potentially introduces changes to a system’s configuration and processing, that then requires reviewing. You need to run before and after reports that flag any changes to records – configuration, Master data or Payroll results – following a system update or Support Pack application. Query Manager solves that challenge.
