The ERP department has increased the time available to execute a report as well as the time you can be inactive in the SAP system before being logged out.
-
Previously, if you executed a report, the report would have 25 minutes to execute before you were logged out. Now you have 40 minutes to execute.
-
Previously, if you had an open SAP session inactive for 25 minutes, you were logged out. Now you have 1 hour before logout.
We were able to make these changes because of a recent update to a 64-bit processing system. We hope the increased times enhance your SAP experience.

Subject: Using ESS for Leave Requests
Recently, we rolled out a process for tracking salaried (non-classified)
employees’ leave in the SAP Employee Self Service system (ESS).
To date we have successfully moved about 300 salaried employees from Kronos to
ESS. The ESS Leave system is easier to use and includes Anniversaries,
Birthdays and Children’s Educational Activity Leave (CEAL).
It is very simple to add employees to the ESS Leave Request system
and even departments with hourly employees could still use the system for their
salaried employees and continue to use Kronos for the hourly employees. Adding
employees to the ESS Leave Request system would help us avoid adding additional
Kronos licenses and help us to possibly reduce our
future licenses.
Instructions for employees logging leave time as well as instructions for
supervisors approving leave time are posted in the links below. Check it out,
and if you are interested in participating in the ESS leave system, please
contact Bill Barlow at

All SAP/HR Users:
If you have not already done so, we recommend that you run the report
ZHRVACLOSS – to produce a list of those in your department who will lose
vacation at the end of the year if no vacation is taken from this date
forward. I’m sure your employees will appreciate the heads-up so that they
can plan to take time-off over the remaining months of 2007. Remember that
not more than 240 vacation hours may be carried over on 12-31-2007.
You also might encourage your employees to use the new Employee Self Service portal at https://enterprise.uams.edu/irj/portal to keep tabs on their own vacation and sick balance
Instructions for ZHRVACLOSS can be found at the UAMS Enterprise website, http://intranet.uams.edu/enterprise/sap/default.asp, under “Reports and Transactions”, along with instructions for other HR, FI, and MM reports.

Vacation Loss Report
Fall is the time to think about employees who might have too much accrued vacation at the end of the year. UAMS Policy and state law require that all vacation balances be reduced to 30 days (240 hours) following the last pay periods in December. See Administrative Guide Policy 4.6.04, Annual Leave: http://uams.edu/AdminGuide/WIN04604.html
The report “ZHRVACLOSS - Report for Vacation Loss” will help timekeepers and business officers in identifying those employees in your department(s) who could loose vacation hours at the end of the year – it answers the question: “If no vacation were taken, how much will my employee lose?” Obviously, these employees need to know of this possibility so that they might schedule time off.
Instructions for this report are found at the Enterprise website under “Reports and Transactions”” http://intranet.uams.edu/enterprise/Report.htm
