New User ID
and Password Required on October 1 |
|
|
On October
1, employees using SAP programs will require a new log-in and password.
When you log on to SAP for the first time, your SAP ID and password will be
as follows: User ID: Your Fulton County Schools e-mail prefix. For example, if
your email address is “smithjohn@fultonschools.org,” your
SAP User ID is smithjohn. Password: Your initial password is welcome (all lowercase).
Upon initial log-on, you will be prompted to change this password. Your new
password should be six alpha numeric characters and will be case sensitive
(do not use special characters such as: &, *, #). Passwords will expire
every 30 days. Issues
related to the user name or password can be resolved by contacting the SAP
Help Desk at SAPhelpdesk@fultonschools.org
or 404-669-4956. |

Requisitions
Procedures Among the First SAP Changes |
|
|
Some of
the first, most noticeable changes using SAP occur with our new requisitions
(purchasing) procedures. To ease the transition, the Contracting Department
created a document that guides new users through some of the most frequently
used functions. |

Training
Support on the Horizon for “Human Capital Management” |
|
|
“Human
Capital Management” – or HCM, for short – is a
term you’ll soon become very familiar with. HCM describes several of
SAP’s most important Human Resources functions, such as Personnel
Management (hiring, transfers, promotions, and taxes), Organizational
Management (organizational structure, jobs, and positions), Time
Management (timesheets), Payroll, and Benefits. Training
schedules regarding the implementation of HCM functions will be distributed
soon. For school-based staff, courses will be assigned by cluster, and all communications
will be handled through each school’s principal. For non
school-based employees, this direction will come from department heads and
managers. The HCM
Team thanks you for your support of this important initiative. If you
have any questions, please contact Lance
Rascoe with Ciber or FCS Chief Human Resources Officer Ron Wade. |
