SpinifexIT Helps Haas Automation Save 52 Days a Year in Productivity

ABOUT HAAS AUTOMATION

Haas Automation is the largest machine tool builder in the western world, manufacturing a complete line of CNC vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, and rotary products.

It was founded in 1983 to manufacture economical and reliable machine tools. The company entered the machine tool industry with the first-ever, fully automatic, programmable collet indexer – a device used to position parts for machining with very high accuracy. The patented Haas 5C collet indexer was a huge success, and over the next four years, the company expanded its product line to include a wide selection of fully programmable rotary tables, rotary indexers, and machine tool accessories.

SpinifexIT was approached by Haas Automation to find the best fitting solutions to address their SAP Payroll reporting and report building requirements.

Using the US Tax Reporter reconciliation functionality in SpinifexIT Easy Reporter, the payroll department at Haas Automation has shaved eight hours per week off a single core business process.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Like most organizations with large payrolls, tax reconciliation and balancing the weekly payroll runs is one of the most critical and time consuming tasks in the payroll department.

SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter has provided Haas Automation with the ability to produce deep tax reporter reconciliation reports directly from SAP Payroll On-premise. The Easy Reporter solution allows users to work exclusively within SAP instead of having to export to Microsoft Excel for further manipulation, increasing compliance and auditability and producing significant time savings.

Easy Reporter resides within SAP Payroll’s interface and doesn’t require any additional hardware or software to run. Installation takes less than a day and once installed, the solution ensures that the payroll results, Tax Reporter calculations and third-party postings are all in alignment. Any differences can be quickly identified so that the employees in question can be reprocessed as necessary.

It is considered best practice to use Easy Reporter to balance these results at least monthly to help prevent the year-end backlog.

KEY DRIVERS

Within the payroll department, a key role is to balance the weekly payroll. Prior to the implementation of Easy Reporter, it took, on average, ten hours to complete the process.

The employee responsible for this role had to become a spreadsheet expert instead of focusing on the real needs of the payroll and finance groups. A custom spreadsheet using complex lookups and pivot tables was manually created to review issues.

Concerns around the previous process included:
  • Inflexibility, since it was not simple to add new data elements.
  • Manual labour intensive, which increased risk of errors.
  • Spreadsheets are often changed manually
  • Slow, taking 10 hours over two days.
  • Often inaccurate

THE SOLUTION

Following implementation of Easy Reporter, the process now takes just two hours, with the Haas payroll department obtaining accurate results and quickly identifying any balance issues.

The process is now:

Faster: It takes 80% less time to complete.
Restartable: When upstream changes require a restart, it is no longer a threat to month/quarter/year-end closing.
Flexible: Easy Reporter allows new data elements to be added without the need for cumbersome transports.
Accurate: Any errors previously resulting from custom programs and manual involvement have disappeared.
Automated: It’s a repeatable process and report output shows variances without any manual involvement needed.

In addition, Easy Reporter helped identify an undetected error in a previous custom report step. The flexibility and speed offered by Easy Reporter allows new requirements to be met quickly and accurately, giving the finance and payroll teams more flexibility in their balancing and problem solving tasks.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Haas Automation’s payroll department has achieved exceptional benefits by using Easy Reporter. These benefits include:

An additional 52 days* per year of productivity

* 8 hours per period were saved with 52 periods in a year. 52 x 8 = 416 hours. Based on an 8-hour day, this equates to 52 days.

Weekly payrolls can now be balanced quickly and accurately within SAP.

Elimination of reporting errors.

Peace of mind in knowing that the reports are accurate

An easier, repeatable process that requires no manual data manipulation.

Difficult payroll queries can be created quickly.

Increased compliance and auditability by ensuring that reconciliation is being done within SAP itself.

SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter Saves Wildlife Conservation Society Hundreds of Hours a Year

Wildlife Conservation Society’s goal is to conserve the world’s largest wild places in 16 priority regions, home to more than 50% of the world’s biodiversity.

This is outlined in their 2020 strategy, which positions WCS to maintain its historic focus on the protection of species while developing an ambitious plan to engage with a rapidly changing world.

Here’s how SpinifexIT drastically simplified the way WCS created & generated SAP HCM and SAP Payroll reports.

The Challenge

In 2015, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) decided to optimize and improve the way they created and generated SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Payroll reports for their 1,500 employees in the US. They needed an end-user friendly solution that can easily be used by their Business Analysts to create and publish reports required to support day-today operations. Spending on additional resources to create custom ABAP reports was not an option so WCS searched for the best solution that ultimately covered their requirements.

The Testimonial

“It’s a 10/10! Instead of spending 24 hours a month merging and reconciling 10 SAP reports, I just run one Easy Reporter report and it only takes 2 hours!”

– Michelle Mara, Payroll Director,
Wildlife Conservation Society

The Solution

SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter solution was chosen by WCS to address their HCM and Payroll reporting requirements. Easy Reporter has hundreds of infotypes and thousands of HCM and Payroll data fields that their Business Analysts can quickly add to their reports.

With Easy Reporter’s simple drag and drop interface, WCS employees can easily build and publish reports within minutes, without the need to learn ABAP.

They can also choose from over a hundred pre-delivered templates which include some of the most used and requested SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Payroll reports. WCS has been using Easy Reporter for over a year. To this day, Easy Reporter continues to save WCS hundreds of hours of work and user effort.

Get in touch with us

What makes Easy Reporter the solution of choice

Wildlife Conservation Society required several custom reports which are not possible to create using SAP’s standard ad-hoc query. SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter enabled their team to build more complex reports to their standard. Here are some examples of the reports WCS put together across all SAP HCM modules using Easy Reporter:

Time & Effort Breakdown GL

Vacation Reporting with Payroll Factors for accrual

Retirement Rosters

Bank to Direct Deposit Reconciliation

Department of Labor Reports by Facility

Group Life Costs

Federal Wage-Base Reporting

Efficiency and Accuracy Guaranteed

Easy Reporter self service tiles

We used to have ABAP reports that I would run twice, and I’d get a different result each time. With Easy Reporter, I am confident that the data I get back is correct and accurate.

Emily Ramos, HR Manager
Wildlife Conservation Society

SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter fetches real time information from the company’s data sources. It can even include data elements from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central should an organization decide to have a hybrid platform. Having the peace of mind that the data reflected on their reports are correct and updated, Wildlife Conservation Society’s HR manager adds:

With SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter, Wildlife Conservation Society avoided spending time, resources, and money to build expensive, complicated custom ABAP reports. They successfully eliminated the manual report building processes that take time and puts their data at risk, ultimately enabling them to spend more time on value-add activities that drive business results.

A global manufacturing company struggled with reproducing their reports from their previous payroll system. Here’s how SpinifexIT helped solve their problem.

The Challenge

Mohawk Industries committed to modernizing their green screen payroll solution by moving to SAP S/4 HANA for their North America based operations of approximately 21,000 employees.

Early on in the project, their implementation partner identified a potential gap in terms of their reporting requirements.

Their existing SAP Payroll Reporting capabilities lacked the functionality to reproduce the reports they were accustomed to receiving on their previous system.

The Solution

Enter SpinifexIT and our Easy Reporter solution. Easy Reporter not only reports on payroll, posting, time and benefits in SAP, it also includes the ability to extract Employee Central Data for payroll-based reports.

Through a strong proof of concept, SpinifexIT installed the software onsite and within three days, proved to Mohawk Industries that Easy Reporter can create their required reports.

Testimonial

“When we went live, we chose SpinifexIT as they had the more robust solution. Having the ability to report Employee Central Data with our Payroll and GL data was key. We’ve been live with the solution for 9 months now and we are very pleased with the outcomes.”

– Mark Dailey, Director,
Corporate Shared Services & MDM
Mohawk Industries

Get in touch with us

What makes Easy Reporter the solution of choice

Mohawk Industries required several reports from both SAP Payroll and Employee Central during Easy Reporter’s early deployment. One may think that these reports would come as a standard inclusion with the most powerful payroll system in the world, however, there exists a huge gap that only SpinifexIT’s Easy Reporter can cover.

Standard Payroll Results

Engineering Reports

Generated weekly and sent out to the Cost Accounting teams for the purpose of tracking labor costs against production for their specific cost centers.

Quarterly Wage Report

Gathers quarterly wages from Payroll Results for the purpose of receiving state income tax credits.

Payroll Posting Results by Employee

Used extensively to supply Posting Results to multiple areas of the Business as a part of the month end close process.

Weekly Overtime Report

Tracks rendered overtime on a weekly basis for Finance budgeting purposes.

HR / Benefits Reporting

Benefit Election Change

Displays employees who has a change in Benefit Plans for a specified period.

RRSP for Canada

A bi-weekly report that shows the Canadian employees’ retirement contribution & employer contribution which parcels out their voluntary amounts.

Eligibility Change Status

Shows anyone who have changed their Benefits Employee grouping during a specified period of time.

Leave of Absence

Identifies all who are on leaves of absence.

You asked, we delivered!

Many of our new and existing customers have started using Easy STP, our powerful reporting and reconciliation solution for the Australian Single Touch Payroll requirement which went live last October, to streamline their own single touch payroll reporting process.

We’re now in the process of releasing an improved and updated version of Easy STP which includes new features and functionalities based on our customers’ initial feedback and suggestions. This new version includes several new reports, small changes to existing reconciliation reports, and two of the most top requested features which I’d be glad to share with you on the update below.

Easy Single Touch Payroll February 2019 updates

Pre-reconcile Your Single Touch Payroll Using Test Run Results

The Challenge: One of the challenges that we have seen with customers reconciling their Single Touch Payroll solution has been related to the timing of this reconciliation.

The recommended approach from SAP is to produce the STP Submit Event file afterexiting Payroll. This essentially means that until you exit Payroll, there is no physical data held inside of SAP to reconcile back to the Payroll Results tables.

The workaround would be to either set the STP functionality to be able to run prior to exiting pay (Not recommended by SAP), or to run the STP reports in Test mode, then download the results into a local excel file for reconciliation. The option of downloading to a local file would mean a much more complex process to run pre-reconciliation.

We have had many customers ask about how they can follow SAP’s recommended approach but still reconcile their STP prior to exiting payroll. This would give the opportunity to fix any major concerns before even running Bank Files or Finance Postings.

Our Solution: The good news is that SpinifexIT has been able to address this business process by building into our Easy STP solution the ability to include the Test Run results into the reconciliation reports.

Enter Easy STP’s Test Run Mode

Essentially, this means that as soon as you have run the Payroll Run and have Payroll Results, you can now use our existing reports to reconcile to the Single Touch Payroll Test run values.

With this new feature, Easy STP will be able to simplify your Single Touch Payroll reconciliation process by triggering a call to the SAP program to calculate the STP figures and reconcile their values. This new process eliminates the cumbersome (and often error-prone) process of downloading STP reports in Test Mode and then addressing issues before exiting payroll.

 

Bonus Functionality – Reporting on the STP Submit Event Logs

Another improvement we’re adding into Easy STP is the ability to report on the logs produced when normally running the SAP Single Touch Payroll – Generate Reporting Data transaction. This gives you better options to report and distribute these details out to your internal teams for faster resolution.

How to get the most out of Employee Central?
 How to get the most out of Employee Central? 1024 512 SpinifexIT Marketing
By:
During the last few months of 2018, we have had the opportunity to check in and reconnect with some of our customers to see how they are using our solutions and where else can we add value. One of the questions often raised while discussing the possibility of moving to Employee Central Payroll (ECP) was, “Do we still need add-on solutions when we have Employee Central Payroll?”  

 

As a solutions provider and having over a decade in the development and implementation business within the SAP HCM area, we believe that the answer is yes, and I’d be happy to explain in my blog why this is so.

Developing flexible software solutions for SAP

The Employee Central Payroll solution, whilst being a new cloud-based deployment option, has the same underlying architecture as the core SAP Payroll solution. The key difference between On-Premise and ECP is that the Employee Data is maintained via Employee Central. 

The ECP solution though, has been designed with better options for integration with SuccessFactors Employee Central. This helps to accelerate and improve the implementation of Payroll.

SpinifexIT’s SAP-certified solutions can add further value and help companies maximise their existing investments by providing easy-to-use solutions that can also be deployed into the Employee Central Environment.

SpinifexIT has been providing software add-on solutions to SAP On-Premise for over 15 years. With thousands of deployments of our software products, SpinifexIT is the team to look to before spending time and effort in many of the common processes around Payroll. Our solutions can run in both on-premise, cloud and hybrid setups, giving our customers a huge advantage.

What is it like to move to Employee Central?

Moving to Employee Central can be a complex process. It involves the full data migration process (check out Brendon’s blog to learn more about this), integrating to SAP and potentially changing your existing Payroll solution and configuration, rebuilding your reports and interfaces, adding your custom functionalities, acing your parallel runs, and finally, setting up your BAU processes which includes Employee communication and support. All these with a usually thin and inflexible timeframe. I go through this in detail here.

Using Employee Central Payroll

Employee Central Payroll has many common processes you see within most payroll solutions. These run normally around a weekly, fortnightly or monthly process. Like many payrolls, this revolves around data input for the payroll, validation of data and pre-checks, running payroll and verification of results, and then often creation of reports and interfaces. On top of these items are often additional items such as queries from employees on their pay, adhoc reports and requests for information, and even throughout the year, various adhoc reconciliation activities such as Year-End, or even just Month-end processes.

SAP have recently introduced the Payroll Control Center solution, which puts a lot of control around many of these processes.

The HCM environment is quite a complex environment and as many of these processes are dependent upon the specific customers requirements- many of these need to be setup specifically for the customer which may involve manual processes such as Excel Spreadsheets or the development of custom reports.

So how can SpinifexIT solutions help?

Spinifexit solutions for Successfactors employee central

SpinifexIT’s easy-to-use solutions can help companies who have implemented Employee Central Payroll to…

  • Streamline the creation, automation and distribution of their Reports and interfaces without the need for a technical guru. It’s straight forward, point-and-click, drag-and-drop features not only allows you to easily recreate your existing reports, but also build new ones in no time.
  • Vastly reduce the implementation time of your Payroll Control Center and use additional functionality which includes drilling down into payroll results, linking of reports into the Payroll Control Center and allowing the user to setup their own exception rules with no technical knowledge
  • Securely copy and scramble Employee Payroll data to make Payroll testing activities more efficient
  • Reconcile per-pay and year-end payroll information in compliance with local legislation
  • Easily address pay-related questions and issues and troubleshoot on the fly
  • Create and distribute full employee lifecycle documents which include Total Compensation / Rewards statements, Salary Breakdowns, Overpayment Details, Benefit Letters, and more

But do we really need all of these?

Spinifexit Results optimising HCM Payroll employee central

Many SAP customers go without any additional software in their system and they can still run their payroll department with the base solutions that SAP provides. It will work just fine.

However, for companies who want to get the most out of Employee Central Payroll without investing additional time, cost and effort, our solutions can help you in terms of maximising what you currently have while optimising your existing processes.

Aside from these time, effort and cost savings, our solutions can also help companies keep their data and results more accurate and improve their employee services and communication.

The above gives some high level areas that might be able to be streamlined in your SAP Payroll Environment. These are relevant for ECP and also for On-Premise customers though. If you would like more details about some of these areas, you can read more in the following blogs:

If you have any questions in this area, feel free to reach out to me by replying to this post, or send our team an e-mail at [email protected].
