Individual Process Quality aspects in SAP ERP (HCM )- Part 3

Test Procedures:

A specific problem when maintaining data for time management is caused by intended or unintended changes that reach too far back into the past. This can be restricted by limiting retroactive accounting relevance. There are often situations where it should be possible to make corrections that extend one or two years into the past, but not every time representative should have the authorization to make such corrections.

ü The selected process model is not used because it cannot be applied to the actual situation

ü The process model focuses on implementation and requires clear and sensible definition of the requirement.

The team must not only consider company -specific factors, but also the special characteristics of SAP ERP(HCM). It is not enough for a technically oriented process to stipulate the definition of the most important structures. For a HCM project, the team must define the company and employee structure and use of the Organizational management.

A clear definition of requirements that clearly describes the planned processes is indispensable for Quality. The planned processes are, after all, the means for measuring the success and therefore the quality of Project .
