Analyzing SAP SuccessFactors HCM with Sub-Business Processes and Dependencies

To understand how SAP delivers an integrated Recruit to Retire business process, let’s explore the three sub-processes this end-to-end scenario supports across the Intelligent Enterprise: Hire to Retire, Travel Reimbursement, and External Workforce.

• The Hire to Retire sub-process supports the lifecycle of the employee. This encompasses all tasks except for Travel and Pay & Close.
• The Travel to Reimbursement sub-process includes travel and expense management and includes the Travel and Pay & Close tasks.
• The External Workforce sub-process includes tasks that support the lifecycle of an external worker. This includes the Plan, Staff, Onboard, and Work tasks.

The Recruit to Retire process includes the integration of SAP SuccessFactors and SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This integration provides the extensibility to align HR and financial data, supporting workforce planning and managing the day-to-day activities of the workforce.
