HR Support Packs: How To Test

[Somdeb]

Hi Experts,

We are on the verge of implementing the HR Support Packs. How can I perform a robust bout of testing considering that there might be so many SAP Notes implemented through these Support Packs.

Hello Sombed,

Here is the testing strategy that I have recommended to all my clients:

Take a dump of following tables Before and after applying stacks.

1. Take a dump of major payroll relevant tables for e.g. T512W, T511 etc

2. Take a dump of time and payroll schema.

As well talk to your Basis and ask him to request a copy of side effects report from SAP. It gives very detailed information on changes in modules.

Hi Arti,

Thank you for the promt response

Also would like to know: Can I see the list of SAP Notes included under a particular HRSP ?

This will probably help me analyse the 'before' and 'after' dump of the tables/schemas.

Yes.

Ask your basis to request the report from service marketplace. He will give the package series and SAP will send you all the OSS notes included in that package range.

Hi Howard,

Thank you for the link. It had the list of Notes as I had wanted to see.

However can you provide me with a more generalized link wherein I can see each HR-SP and its related SAP Notes.

Somdeb,

If you open each folder, you see all of the notes for HRSP A7. The next HRSP is A8. Just replace the 7 at the end of the link with 8 in order to see the notes in the next HRSP.

Hi Howard,

Thank you. However we are at ECC 6. In that case replacing 47 by 60 does not help.

Can you please let me know how can I see the SPs in ECC 6 ?

For a more generalized path for viewing and downloading the notes follow the below steps -

logon to service marketplace and click through support

 Downloads

 Expand support packages and patches

 Open Support packages and patches - entry by application group

 All your mega components should appear on the right side of the screen

 browse through SAP Application components SAP ERP choose whichever version you want

 browse through to the HCM component and SAP_ERPxxx

 once you get to the list of support packs, click the hyper link on the support pack title

 This will open up the list of notes in another window.

 you can completely expand all the notes and download them to a spreadsheet

I know this is lengthy but this is the standard way to get to notes in a support pack for the component we want. Hope this helps.
