Reports that are available for HR partner
SAP reports are of three types, based on the location they are created and executes. One is SAP ECC reports that are run in SAP ECC using a transaction code. The send is a portal report, that is executed by logging in to Umoja Portal and clicking the appropriate link. The third one is the BI report, that is run out of Umoja BI system.

This blog is on the first category, the ECC reports that are executable by a HR partner. All HR ECC reports are part of HR Display All roll and it is embedded in HR Partner All role.

Please note, the HR partner all for an entity can administer all staff under that entity, but can view (display/run reports) all staff under Umoja Common system.

To select and run the reports, please see the screenshot below. All reports under these nods are executable by a user with HR Partner All role.





Checking My Certifying Officers

In Umoja, it is advised to check your certifying officers before you start a transaction that needs financial certification. For example creation of official business needs a financial certification by the travel and shipment Approver. In order to avoid the approval workflow, each and every user is encouraged to try the following steps to proactively determine the certifying officers before even creating the transaction. Please note, the certification is based on the cost objects (Fund and Cost center) and the the users who are mapped to these cost objects based on the delegation of Authority (DOA) will be the approvers for those transactions.
