| To use SAP, or not to use SAP? Great question! | 2010-Feb-27 |

| Eliminate locking issues in your HR process model | 2010-Feb-05 |
For the past 5 years or more I have advised SAP Payroll customers to use the HR Process Workbench - also known as Process Models, or transaction PUST - to automate their payroll process. Many customers already use Process Models for their off-cycle payrolls, but the same tool... |
| Finding the Right Consultants for Your Team | 2010-Jan-27 |

| Three New Year Resolutions for groups using SAP HR | 2009-Dec-30 |
The good part about ending one year and beginning another is that it is a natural time to review and plan, to evaluate what's been done and plan what needs to be done. For many HR, Benefits and Payroll departments this transition comes at a bad time of the year – right in the middle 941's... |

| The Two Most Important Success Factors | 2009-Oct-29 |
SAP's HR software is really pretty functional and mature now. It has advanced so far from the early days – thankfully – and now it's no longer 'does it work?' but 'how do I make it work for me?' that gets asked. Since the software can no longer be blamed for shoddy... |
| US Year-End 2009 - W-2 sorting | 2009-Oct-19 |
Note 1368655 lists the corrections and enhancements in Phase 1 of the US year-end updates. Most of it is about changes done to the W-2C and related processes. But, there is a new piece of functionality to note: a BAdI for customizing the sort order of W-2 forms. BAdI BADI_SORT_METHOD... |
| Why do we consult? | 2009-Oct-09 |
Every now & then I get a question from peole I've worked with: Do you think I'd make a good consultant? Well, my answer most often is - to lean on an oft-repreated consulting phrase - it depends. I decided to leave a my corporate job and start an independent consultancy... |
