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.
