which is mainly based on IFS Human Resources is given below:
General Description
Purpose of the employee headcount analysis information source is to analyze employee headcount and turnover for
defined periods. Following information is required to be defined for the company so that headcount analysis can be
performed in BI:
- Period calendars are required to be defined in the Period Calendar for Statistics window.
- Optionally, you can connect HR period calendars to accounting periods using Financial Period Connection
window.
- Create a snapshot category in the Headcount Statistics Snapshot and connect a period calendar. Specify all
the companies from which information will be analyzed using the defined snapshot category. Also, create periods
for the analysis.
The following points should be considered when report is created.
- Filters/Repeaters should be used for Snapshot Category/Year Period (Or Year and Period)/Company, Primary
Position and Primary Job.
- If it is required to show all employee records for a given period, the relevant information base must be
selected. This is not necessary if you use only measure items (except sum of age) for present data (without
detail view).
- HCM access mechanism would be applied in Employee Headcount Analysis information source.
- Following filters should be used with the dimensions:
Age Group Class field should be filtered in order to use age group.
Employee Duration Class field should be filtered in order to use current employment duration
Employee Duration Class field should be filtered in order to use total employment duration
