Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent application belongs to the field of intelligent management technology of human resource processes. More specifically, it relates to a method and platform for implementing human resource process management based on the SAP system using code-free technology. Background Art

[0002] Tangshan Iron and Steel has a large registered workforce and employs a variety of personnel. This results in numerous human resources approval processes, with new ones frequently added. Each approval process is unique, and there are frequent changes in approval personnel and approval levels. Tangshan Iron and Steel is a large enterprise with a complex organizational structure and highly specialized divisions of labor. Effective collaboration across departments, units, and positions is a pressing challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and platform for implementing human resource process management based on the SAP system using code-free technology, thereby realizing intelligent management of human resource workflows.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A method for implementing human resource process management using code-free technology based on a SAP system includes the following steps: Step S1: Build a human resources workflow data management platform; Step S2: Establish an approval workflow model to achieve flexible and code-free approval process modeling; Step S3: Submit an application to trigger the approval process. The user submits an application to trigger the approval process on the human resources workflow data management platform. By mobilizing the approval workflow model, the key approver node is triggered. Step S4: process management and status monitoring; Step S5: Trigger downstream business after approval.

[0005] Step S1 includes the following steps: Step S101: Build a framework-based approval flow platform. On the SAP R / 3 system NetWeaver platform, apply tools such as the ABAP editor, ABAP dictionary, screen drawing, function builder, and class builder. Through front-end and back-end development, systematically represent the user interaction process and implement flexible and configurable approval functions. Step S102: Create a database table corresponding to the business application to store the pending business content of the application, and assign a 4-digit unique key value. Because the business application process may face multiple submissions or approval rejections, the pending business at this time has not yet taken effect, so it is also called "temporary information type"; Step S103: Determine the formal database table corresponding to the business's effectiveness. This table is used to store personnel, salary, insurance, and other information to be updated after the temporary information type is approved. This table is called a "formal information type" and is assigned a four-digit unique key. The unique key of the formal information type is different from the unique key of the temporary information type. Formal and temporary information types are collectively referred to as information types. Information types are fundamental data units in human resources management, used to categorize and store employee master data (such as name, address, and position) or dynamic data (such as salary and attendance). Each information type (formal and temporary) is identified by a unique four-digit key.

[0006] Step S104: Create an approval rule table, which is divided into two tables: a header table and a detail table. This table is used to identify the correspondence between "temporary information types" and "formal information types," i.e., the specific content such as personnel, salary, and insurance that needs to be updated after the pending business is processed, as well as the rule logic written in the update. Step S105: Create an approval configuration table: used to store the approval flow; Step S106: Create an approval log table to record each approval action; Step S107: Create an approval pending table: used to store the work content of human resources business to be submitted and approved; Step S108: Classify and manage the submission business that triggers the approval flow, which includes four categories: personnel change submission, appointment change submission, salary change submission, and insurance provident fund change submission. For the information type involved in each category, the system will automatically create a submission template based on the background information type table field, that is, when the information type table field changes, there is no need for the developer to change the submission template; this "information type table field" corresponds to the 4-digit key value in step S103.

[0007] Step S109: Create a data submission check function: used to check the format and content of the submitted data. This check is combined with the needs of business personnel, and associates the personnel information type and organizational information type to ensure the rationality of business data and standardize data from the source.

[0008] Furthermore, step S2 implements flexible, code-free approval process modeling, which includes the following steps: Step S201: Configure approval nodes in the "Approval Configuration Table" according to the workflow. Configure different approval levels and approvers in the same workflow based on multi-dimensional differentiated management requirements such as department, personnel category, and salary accounting system. Step S202: Configure the approval process in the "Approval Rules Table" according to the workflow. First, configure the header table. The configuration content includes: to which formal information types the temporary information type writes information, the writing method, and the order in which multiple formal information types are written. Then configure the detail table to determine the correspondence between the fields in the temporary information type and the formal information type.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S201, the multi-dimensional differentiated management requirements include but are not limited to one or more of department, personnel category, and salary accounting system; In step S202, the correspondence between the temporary information type and the fields in the formal information type is determined based on the configuration in the "Approval Rule Table" details table, so as to automatically obtain the formal information type to which the temporary information type is written. There are three ways to write the value of the information: One is the default value, which directly obtains the default value configured in the "Approval Rule Table" details table; One is source value, which automatically captures personnel source attribute information through the source table and source field content configured in the "Approval Rule Table" details table; One is function value, which mainly responds to more complex assignment requirements. By configuring the function name in the "Approval Rule Table" details table, the function's data retrieval function is executed to obtain data. Multiple business logic codes are encapsulated into one function, making it easier for business personnel to perform codeless configuration and meet various complex business needs.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S3, business personnel can submit applications individually or in batches, or submit the same process multiple times. The system is fault-tolerant. Functional departments can review the multiple submissions, with the final approval being the final result. The system records the submission to which the review result corresponds using a version number. The key value corresponds to the version number, or in other words, the key value is the version number.

[0011] Furthermore, step S4 includes the following steps: Step S401: Build a personal office module, which includes a personal user menu module, a to-do module, and a reminder module. This module is personalized for different personnel. The personalized settings include the display interface, the to-do interface, and the work content of the reminder. The to-do interface can be redirected to the business operation interface with one click, achieving seamless integration of the approval process and business operations, thereby improving business processing efficiency and accuracy. Step S402: Approval module, which includes functions for viewing submitted content and processing approvals or rejections. It supports batch approval or single approval and uses pivot table technology to view basic personnel information such as education, work experience, and historical salary of the corresponding personnel. Step S403: Query the application processing progress report. This report can retrieve all submission information in the relevant application processing workflow by querying conditions such as applicant, submission date, and formal information type, that is, the approval status and approval process are transparent and open; Step S404: Approval processing report query, which can output the approval processing report based on query conditions such as the name of the approver at each level, the approval submission date range, and the approval status, so that managers or approvers can view and monitor the workflow status and query it.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S402, the basic information of the corresponding personnel includes education background, work experience, and historical salary; In step S403, the query conditions include applicant, submission date, and formal information type; In step S404, the query conditions include the names of approvers at all levels, the approval submission date range, and the approval status.

[0013] Further, in step S5, after approval, downstream business operations are triggered through one-click linkage. For example, the system approval function can be used to trigger the collaborative work of multiple departments with one click. For example, after an employee transfer application is approved, salary and insurance information will be updated simultaneously, simplifying work steps and improving work efficiency.

[0014] A platform for human resource process management based on the SAP system using codeless technology is used to implement the above method. The design code of the front-end user interface is integrated into a unified program, and the implementation of the back-end business logic and data processing actions are encapsulated into a unified function to implement the following functional modules: workflow data management platform construction module, approval workflow modeling module, process management and status monitoring module, and downstream business function module triggered after approval. A workflow data management platform building module is used to implement steps S1 and S3; An approval workflow modeling module, used to implement step S2; A process management and status monitoring module, used to implement step S4; After approval, the downstream business function module is triggered to implement step S5.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: This approach, developed on the ABAP Workbench development platform using the ABAP Editor development tool, employs parallel engineering theory to design and develop the architectural model. It utilizes tools such as the ABAP Dictionary, Menu Painter, Screen Painter, and Function Builder for system implementation. This system establishes the core framework for Tangshan Iron and Steel's human resources workflow. Regardless of the complexity and variability of the approval process, simple configuration within the system allows for code-free establishment of approval processes and automated flow. Furthermore, leveraging information technology, a robust process engine was found, enabling arbitrary jumps and modifications to process nodes. This allows for the definition and initiation of a process with simple configuration.

[0016] This workflow integrates various internal processes of the enterprise, strengthens collaboration and cooperation between businesses, embodies the first-level human resources management model, reduces the business process review links, drives human resources business through approval processes, shortens the business operation cycle, and improves business processing efficiency.

[0017] The workflow platform of the present invention has been promoted and applied in 54 units including company headquarters, dual-functional departments, three joint venture subsidiaries, steel main business, non-steel units, Hesteel Group directly affiliated units, and restructured units. The system has realized a total of 78 approval flows for modules such as organization, personnel, salary, attendance, insurance, and fertility, covering the approval processes of all application units. The workflow system drives human resources business through the approval process, realizes the information management of human resources, converts the written approval process into a system approval process, saves approval flow time, and improves the efficiency of human resources management. The application of this workflow builds an information bridge for each module of the enterprise, improves the efficiency of enterprise business processing and shortens the process execution cycle. Timely update of relevant data of modules such as personnel, organization, salary, insurance, and fertility improves the timeliness, reliability, and integrity of information. It is convenient to trace the historical data of human resources and provides a strong basis for analyzing and judging the current human resources operation status. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 2 This is the approval interface diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0021] A method for implementing human resource process management based on SAP system using code-free technology, such as Figure 1~Figure 2The present invention discloses a method for implementing human resource process management based on the SAP system using codeless technology. The method applies tools such as the ABAP editor, ABAP dictionary, screen drawing, function builder, and class builder on the SAP R / 3 system NetWeaver platform, utilizes the ABAP Editor development tool, and adopts parallel engineering theory to design and develop an architecture model. The main process is to use codeless configuration approval processes to automatically flow human resource business, specifically including the following steps: Step S1: Build a human resources workflow management platform.

[0022] Step S101: Build a framework-based approval workflow platform. Using tools such as the ABAP editor, ABAP dictionary, screen drawing, function builder, and class builder on the SAP R / 3 system NetWeaver platform, through front-end and back-end development, the user interaction process is systematically represented, enabling flexible and configurable approval functionality. The front-end user interface design code is integrated into a unified program. Using the screen designer, the page is divided into three areas. The left side displays approval-related reports in a tree-like structure, allowing businesses to easily monitor workflow progress. The upper right portion of the page houses the approval function. The first screen provides an overview of the approval delegated matters, including the delegated approval process and the pending items within each process. Users click "Approve Now" to proceed to the next screen for approval details, where they can complete the approval action based on the specific situation. The lower right portion of the page houses reminders, displaying delegated processes within the account's business scope, such as onboarding and regularization of university graduates, and processing leave and recuperation, effectively improving business processing efficiency. The implementation of the backend business logic and data processing actions are encapsulated into the ZHR_CREATE_INFOTYPE function. Therefore, the platform implements the following functional modules: workflow management platform building module, approval workflow modeling module, process management and status monitoring module, and downstream business function module triggered after approval. The specific contents are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0023] Figure 2 The upper left panel displays content such as ZHR05 - Secondary Unit Batch Submission Procedure, ZHR07 - Application Processing Report Query, and ZHR08 - Approval Processing Report Query, all located in the Human Resources Management System User Menu - Tools. The upper section displays To-Do Tasks, including status, approval instructions, pending items, and immediate approval. The lower section displays Reminders, including status, task type, task description, reminder start time, task due date, item, processing status, and reminder closure.

[0024] Step S102: Create a database table corresponding to the business application form to store the pending business details, assigning a four-digit unique key. Because the process may involve multiple submissions or approval rejections, the business has not yet taken effect, so it is also called "temporary information type."

[0025] Step S103: Determine the formal database table corresponding to the business, which is used to store personnel, salary, insurance and other related information to be updated after the temporary information type is approved. This is called the "formal information type" and is assigned a 4-digit unique key value.

[0026] Formal and temporary information types are collectively referred to as information types. Information types are fundamental data units in human resources management, used to categorize and store employee master data (such as name, address, and position) or dynamic data (such as salary and attendance). Each information type is identified by a unique 4-digit key value.

[0027] Step S104: Create an approval rule table, which is divided into two tables: header and detail. This table is used to identify the correspondence between "temporary information types" and "formal information types," i.e., the specific content such as personnel, salary, insurance, etc. that needs to be updated after the pending business is processed, as well as the updated rule logic.

[0028] Step S105: Create an approval configuration table: used to store the approval flow.

[0029] Step S106: Create an approval log table to record each approval action.

[0030] Step S107: Create an approval to-do table: used to store the work content of human resources business to be submitted and approved.

[0031] Step S108: Categorize and manage the submissions that trigger the approval process. These include four categories: personnel change submissions, appointment change submissions, salary change submissions, and insurance and provident fund change submissions. For each type of information involved, the system automatically creates a submission template based on the backend information type table fields. This means that developers don't need to modify the submission template when the information type fields change. The "information type table fields" here are associated with the four-digit key value in step S103.

[0032] Step S109: Create a data submission check function: used to check the format and content of the submitted data. This check is combined with the needs of business personnel, and associates the personnel information type and organizational information type to ensure the rationality of business data and standardize data from the source.

[0033] Step S2: Approval workflow modeling to achieve flexible and code-free approval process modeling.

[0034] The entire approval function is implemented using SAP's standard development language, ABAP. The system provides business submission and review (rejection and approval) capabilities. Each time a new approval process is added, simply configuring business data in the application submission database table, the formal application database table, the approval rule table, and the approval node configuration table enables automated business flow. This effectively avoids system stability and timeliness issues caused by program development work. The steps are: Step S201: Configure approval nodes in the "Approval Configuration Table" based on the workflow. You can configure different approval levels and approvers within the same workflow based on differentiated management needs across multiple dimensions, such as department, personnel category, and payroll system. See the Approval Configuration Table in Table 1 for details.

[0035]

[0036] Table 1 Table 1 includes the temporary information type (4-digit number is 9405), personnel scope (4-digit number is 1001), personnel sub-scope (4-digit number is 1000), employee group, employee sub-group, accounting scope, first-level approver, second-level approver, etc.

[0037] Step S202: Configure the approval process in the "Approval Rules Table" according to the workflow. First, configure the header table, including the formal information types to which temporary information types are written, the writing method, and the order in which they are written to multiple formal information types. The specific contents are shown in the Approval Rules Table Header Table in Table 2.

[0038]

[0039] Table 2 Table 2 shows three messages. The 4-digit number of the temporary message type is 9405, the 4-digit number of the formal message type is 0015 / 2010, the sub-message types are 1005 / 2000 / 7001, and the operations are INS, MOD, INS in the order of 00 / 01 / 02. The operations are performed in the coding order, and a brief description is attached.

[0040] Then configure the details table, mainly to determine the correspondence between temporary information types and formal information type fields. Based on the configuration in the "Approval Rule Table" details table, determine the correspondence between temporary information types and formal information type fields, so as to automatically determine which formal information types the temporary information types should write information to. The field values ​​are relatively flexible and can be selected in three ways: One is to configure the default value. After approval, the system directly obtains the default value configured in the "Approval Rule Table" details table and assigns the value. One is the source value. After approval, the system automatically captures the personnel source attribute information and assigns values ​​based on the source table and source field content configured in the "Approval Rule Table" details table. The first is function value, which primarily addresses complex assignment requirements and is implemented through code development. This involves executing the function's data retrieval function, configured in the "Approval Rules Table" details, to obtain data. This encapsulates multiple business logic codes into a single function, facilitating codeless configuration for business personnel and meeting diverse and complex business needs. The details are shown in the Approval Rules Table details in Table 3.

[0041]

[0042] Table 3 Table 2 shows five pieces of information. The 4-digit numbers of the temporary information type are all 9405, the 4-digit numbers of the formal information type are all 0015, and the sub-information type is all 1005. The data access type corresponds to F (function) and D (constant). The field names are BEGDA (start date), BETRG (amount), ENDDA (end date), LGART (wage item), and WERKS (unit). The search field values ​​corresponding to D (constant) are 1005 and RMB, and a brief description is attached.

[0043] Step S3: Business personnel submit applications to trigger the approval process based on actual business needs. Users submit applications on the HR workflow data management platform to trigger the approval process, mobilizing the approval workflow model to trigger key approver nodes. Business personnel can submit applications individually or in batches, or submit multiple applications for the same process. The system is fault-tolerant. Functional departments can review multiple submissions, with the final approval being the final result. The system records the submission to which the review result corresponds, using a version number, which serves as the key value.

[0044] Step S4: Process management and status monitoring.

[0045] Step S401: Build a personal office module, which includes a user menu module, a to-do module, and a reminder module. Customize the interface, to-do items, and reminders for each user. One-click access to the business operation interface from the to-do interface allows for seamless integration of approval processes and business operations, improving processing efficiency and accuracy.

[0046] Step S402: Approval work module, which includes the function of viewing the submitted content and the processing function of approval or rejection, supports batch approval or single approval, and uses pivot table technology to support viewing the basic personnel information such as education background, work experience, historical salary, etc. of the corresponding personnel.

[0047] Step S403: Query the application processing progress report. This report can retrieve all submission information in the relevant application processing workflow by query conditions such as applicant, submission date, and formal information type, that is, the approval status and approval process are transparent and open.

[0048] Step S404: Approval processing report query, which can output the approval processing report based on query conditions such as the name of the approver at each level, the approval submission date range, and the approval status, so that managers or approvers can view and monitor the workflow status and query it.

[0049] Step S5: Trigger downstream business after approval. The system approval function can be used to trigger multi-departmental business collaboration with one click. In this embodiment, after the attendance report of overtime days and holiday attendance days is approved, overtime pay is automatically calculated and the amount is written to the additional payment overtime pay item. The employee's salary and insurance information are also updated simultaneously, simplifying work steps and improving work efficiency.

[0050] For example, the system approval function can be used to trigger multi-departmental business collaboration with one click. For example, after an employee's job transfer application is approved, salary and insurance information will be updated synchronously, simplifying work steps and improving work efficiency.

[0051] In addition, the present invention also discloses a platform for implementing human resource process management based on the SAP system using code-free technology, which is used to implement the above method, including: A workflow data management platform building module is used to implement steps S1 and S3; An approval workflow modeling module, used to implement step S2; A process management and status monitoring module, used to implement step S4; After approval, the downstream business function module is triggered to implement step S5.

[0052] The design code of the front-end user interface is integrated into a unified program, and the implementation of the back-end business logic and data processing actions are encapsulated into a unified function, ultimately realizing the workflow data management platform construction module, approval workflow modeling module, process management and status monitoring module, and post-approval triggering of downstream business function module.
