In order to reduce the time and errors involved in the larger monthly booking process, the master data system is being expanded to include automation of the monthly accrual run. To this end, the current manual procedures are analyzed and it is determined which existing system components can be used for automation and which new functionalities need to be implemented. These are then to be used in a new process in order to implement automation.
Supplement
The master data system is an internal .NET solution with an MS SQL Server connection and a BizTalk communication interface to the SAP systems, in which all posting processes take place. The monthly accrual run is only partially automated. Data retrieval from external systems or external SQL servers, the generation of payroll and posting records, as well as checking for completeness and correctness and other processes require an employee to initiate them. To make this process less time-consuming and less error-prone, a process is implemented that automatically triggers the current manual steps. Existing system components are adapted or newly implemented for this purpose. The master data system will also be expanded to include new components, such as process control.
Subject description
The accrual run is a task that recurs monthly and requires a lot of manual work in its current state. However, automating this process makes sense as it always has a consistent processing structure. On the one hand, automation enables the process to be processed more quickly, as no interaction by an employee is necessary, and on the other hand, the susceptibility to errors can be reduced by adding methods for checking.
