A periodic informational email from the Fulton County Schools SAP Management Team

 

This e-newsletter is sent each week during SAP implementation to keep SAP users aware of special dates, trainings and other important need-to-know news. Consider this your “One Stop Shop” for SAP news!

    

SAP 2007 is coming to a close….but FCS is gearing up for SAP 2008!

 

This “Follow Me” newsletter is the last one produced before the much-anticipated winter break; therefore, we’ll keep things quick and to the point!

  

HCM User Acceptance Testing. The Human Capital Management User Acceptance Testing has been successfully completed. This allowed the SAP management team to identify any potential bugs or issues and work them out before HCM is launched systemwide in January.

 

January Training Dates. Additional FICO and Logistics training dates for January have been announced and can be scheduled through MyPDC. Click here to review the schedule.

 

GUI Installation. The HCM ‘GUIs’ (graphic user interface…an SAP word meaning ‘icon’) should have been installed on your computer this month if your job requires using HCM. If you haven’t had your GUI installed by now, email the SAP Help Desk or call 404-669-4956.

 

Payroll Call Center. A hotline – 404-763-5728 – has been launched to handle anticipated telephone calls after HCM goes live next month. It will be in place for 60 days during January and February.

 

Time Management FAQs and Dates & Deadlines. Time Management will be one of the first changes employees notice during the HCM phase of SAP implementation. This FAQ document addresses many questions being asked and this guide outlines important dates and deadlines.

 

Time Management Training Labs. “Live” labs are being hosted Friday, January 4, and Monday, January 7, to help time keepers enter their time in the Production system. Instructors will be on hand to give assistance and answer questions. The labs are open both days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the PLC North and the PLC South. Mark your calendars!

 

New Person ID. Letters containing new Person IDs have been mailed to each employee’s home. These replace Social Security numbers on payroll, time management and other SAP-related documents beginning December 21, 2007. If the letter has not yet arrived, you can find your Person ID on your November and December paystubs in the “Employee ID Number” box.
