Once upon a time, my fashion start-up was easy to run: back in 2014, our team was made up of only me, my partner, and four recent design graduates from Goldsmiths University. We had a vision, to make shoes for the working woman that were comfortable, stylish, and light. Back then we were based in a coworking space in Shoreditch, and had no idea how successful we’d be—now our company takes up two floors of an office building in central London!

But in 2016, after a drop in employee satisfaction and a number of resignations, my partner and I had to think of a way to boost company morale. Because we didn’t have much experience working on these kinds of solutions, we looked around for external services, and found one that would change our company forever: SAP SuccessFactors.

If you want to boost company morale in your office, trust me: use SAP SuccessFactors. What are the many reasons they’re your best choice? Read on to find out.

* Make the feedback process transparent

We’ve all been there. When the boss asks, “Are you happy at work?” it’s hard to give a direct honest answer. No one wants to risk losing their job over filing complaints. But because SAP SuccessFactors is one of the leading technologies offering Human Capital Management (HCM), they make it easier. Their system allows people to participate in feedback programs, provides an extension called SurveyRocks that makes sending out employee surveys easy, and allows you to begin a dialogue in real time.

* Help your employees grow

SuccessFactors also helped us come up with a way to help our employees—and therefore our business—grow together. By providing us with something even better than HR—a talent development system—we were able to provide our employees with goals to meet throughout their careers. This made them more motivated and happier in their work.

* Make it easy for employees to access their benefits

In our office, it’s always been important to make sure that our employees have the best benefits we can provide. From improved morale to lower turnover rates, there are plenty of reasons to provide benefits. But with our company growing so quickly, SuccessFactors was indispensable in providing us with their Employee Central’s Benefits module, which made it easier for our employees to learn about and use their benefits.

* Reward your hardest-working employees

When we were just a team of six employees, it was easy to tell who was working hard and how to reward them. But now that our team takes up two floors, SuccessFactors has made it possible for us to track and gauge the success of each and every one of our employees—so no one ever feels like they’re being overlooked or underappreciated. Success Factors also offers an extension called JobPts, which gives instant digital rewards to employees whenever they reach milestones.

* Make training processes simpler

If your employees don’t really know what they’re expected to know for their jobs, or even simple tasks such as how to log into the company database, you’re in for trouble. With our company growing so big so fast, we didn’t even realize how many new hires were frustrated by the old-fashioned training processes we were using! Luckily for us, SuccessFactors has totally streamlined our training processes, meaning everyone’s less frustrated and our office can run more efficiently.

* Improve employee get-togethers

SuccessFactors also made it much easier for us to make employee outings more fun—and affordable, too! By providing us with a system that tracks details such as reasons for the event, number of people invited, and how to judge whether it’s successful, we can plan better events. This year already, we’ve swung our golf clubs at one of London’s coolest crazy golf venues, and gone on historical Stonehenge Tours that everybody loved!

* Hiring the right people

Most importantly, ever since starting with SuccessFactors, we’ve been hiring the right people. This makes a difference because hiring the right people enhances your work culture and improves employee morale—not to mention saving you money and time. By implementing SuccessFactor’s Recruiting module, which gets us talent from around the world and makes scheduling interviews easier, we’re making everyone happier: our current employees, our clients, and, of course, the new people we’ve brought onto our team. As we’ve continued our growth as a company, this has been one of the greatest benefits of using SuccessFactors.

I could’ve never dreamed of all the benefits that SuccessFactors had—but as you can see, it’s made quite a difference in our London office! And SAP SuccessFactors, if you’re a growing company, can make a difference in yours, too.

Make the UI component as Default component for Table Enhancement:

2. Create a new table via AET. Here the table is expected to be in service order header level, so choose Header part:

Specify table name in Description field, which will act as assignment block title in overview page. Choose the component created in step1 from drop down list, and also specify the window name.

Mark the “Generate” checkbox, and maintain the table fields one by one.

Click “Save and Generate” button to generate the table:

You should observe the Status icon for new table is turned to green light after generation.

3. Move the table view to “Displayed Assignment Blocks”:

Now in the runtime you could see the new table in overview page. http://bit.ly/2hINqVt #SAP #SAPCloud #AI

I have recently come  across the need to “manually” move an IDoc for testing purposes form one SAP system to another. The two systems were in two different environments and not planned to be connected network wise. So we needed a way to export and import an IDoc.

The idea was to export the IDoc on system A to a file and then import it in system B from that file. It seemed an easy task, but turned out to be quite tricky. I haven’t found much help from searching online or in SAP docs but enough to put something together that worked at the end. I’d like to share this here in a step-by-step guide.

Please note that this is only for manual testing purposes for single cases and not intended to serve as any kind of IDoc interface.

We firsts export an existing IDoc from source system, download the file to the local computer and then upload it to another system:

 

1 How to export a flat IDoc file in SAP ERP:

SAP GUI, Transaction Code: WE19

* Load an existing Idoc (see we02) via idoc number.
* Click on “inbound file” (note: this is actually confusing. You’re going to write a file to the file system, but the function is called inbound file. But it’s all right and you can go ahead.)
* Enter a path on the server (use transaction AL11 to find a suitable path) and a filename. The file name can be chosen freely. Execute the function and ignore the error about the not found port!

* Download the exported file to your local machine using Transaction Code: CG3Y.
You can also use AL11 which displays a list of all available files. Select the file and then click the button marked below (“Download File as Text”): * Target is a patch on your local machine.
* Choose ASC for ASCII mode.
* Execute the download.
* You can now edit the file on your PC if needed, or further process/distribute it. And you can now upload it e.g. to another SAP system and edit it there before processing (see next chapter).

 

2 Upload and Inbound Process a Flat IDoc File

* Upload the file using transaction code CG3Z e.g. to a temp directory.
* Use t.code WE19 and select “File as Template”.
* Enter the path where you’ve uploaded the file and the filename.
* The test tool displays your IDoc, you can also change it here.
* You also need to create the control record (I don’t go into details of this here as this is required knowledge about the standard IDoc processing and can be found elsewhere). To create the control record, click on the first line in the editor and enter the data as needed (of course, change the name to your IDoc’s message type. Here it’s a business partner IDoc) :
* When you’re ready, click “Standard Inbound”. If a partner profile (WE20) exists, it will be processed after executing the function (or collected for later processing). See the status of the new IDoc in WE02.
