So in this video I would like to see where you can find the SAP successfactor. The script, whether it's a test script for your cloud ALM tool, if you are using or if you're using the manual test script, right? So go to help.SAP.com and from there you go to Human Capital Management. Okay? And let's say you are going for Employee Central or employee Central Payroll or similar kind of module go to your special module, okay, Employee central let's say and if you scroll down a bit there will be a section called Best practices, right? If you go to best practices for HCM and inside if you go further there will be a section called downloads, right? And ideally you should be finding here but I do not see for Employee Central that has been updated here, right? So in that case go to here and yeah, configuration guide I can find out here easily. But the test script actually it is not here. Okay. But for other modules ideally you will be finding those details as well. So solution scope. Let me check it out here. I don't think here it is mentioned. Let me see. So scope details. Okay, so these are the different modules topic wise I don't see any scripts here. But the thing is it is available for other modules. So if you go here, let's say I have seen that. Let me go to the other modules homepage. But definitely success factor for also it is there. I have ec, I have seen it. But if you go to let's say talent management model yesterday before I have seen this actually for PMGM or any other model if you go there, right? So ideally it should be there in the performer your best practices. If you see best practices for pmgm, right? And here we have a downloadable section and here if you scroll down a bit we have the test scripts, right? You can see this is normal test script and this is a cloud ALM test. It is recommended to use nowadays the cloud alm. But at least I can see people profile which may be utilized also in Employee Central and that can be or a platform foundation we can find out here. Similarly job profile related test scripts are also here which is not only limited to pmg it also can be used for other modules. Okay, so you can see that this is for job profile maintenance. Okay, so same the from a PMGM point of view this is where exactly you can find out the test script. Okay? For cloud ALM which is predominantly nowadays people are using it manual test script days are gone so still some people use. They use it but it is recommended highly to use this one. Okay, so if you're having so you can see always descript SAP cloud alm. This is for your PMGM in the current release. I can see it is available. Okay, so similarly, if you go to your other module, let me verify it for other modules as well, so that you do not find it difficult. So if I go to core HR again Empress central payroll, if I am looking at. Okay, otherwise definitely partnered, you can check it out. Okay, but here mostly in the best practices you will be finding. Okay, so for easy payroll. Similarly, if I go here downloadable section. So I can see here config guide your workbook test scripts. All the test scripts here related to your EC payroll. This is your normal manual test script. And if you prefer HP you are typically SAP cloud ALM test script. So definitely I would recommend to do this. Okay, so download it from here. This is for EC payroll. Then also we do have a similar thing for payroll control center as well that you can verify. So I'm not going to explain that, but same thing also is applicable inside EC payroll. There are two Part one is normal payroll, one for payroll control center. So for payroll control center. Also if you go here download and. And here you can see the test script, your test script details. Cloud ALM test scripts are available here. Test script Cloud ALM test script for success factor. Okay, so now if I go back to other modules. So let me show you that as well for other modules very similar steps you follow. Okay, and you go back to your homepage of helsapi.com, then again if you go for core HR and payroll. So we talked about employee central payroll. You see, it is actually splitted. Actually it doesn't. I'm not. I don't see as we. As I speak. Okay, but for time tracking, if you're implementing that also if you go towards best practices in everywhere you have to search for best practices for that particular module. And if you go to the downloadable section, this is the ideal place. Okay. And ideally you should be finding. So in some cases I don't see the time tracking. Also it's not available just like an ec. In that case you may have to check in other places where exactly these things maybe they have placed. Okay, then I can see the time set here. Here at least I can see. Yeah, this is here. Okay, so you have a little tricky. So here you can see the test script is here. Okay, so that it is not in a downloadable sections. Ideally it's a downloadable section, but here you can see record working time. And this is the test Script they have kept it here. Okay, but if you see that this is not a normal test script, let me check it out. But it will see these are huge case wise, scenario wise they have captured it here. It's not exactly a hp. Sorry, Cloud Almighty. So I'm fine. I'm saying HP is mostly. I have used HPLM tool as well, but it's SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle management tool. So this is not a cloud application, but at least some test scripts are there, right? SAP streamlining these things. Okay? You don't have to worry and you have to check in partner Edge also if you're not finding here, right? So this is for time tracking. Okay. So if I go to any other talent module also I will highly recommend to check out their best practice section. Ideally it should be there in the best practice section. Even if you go for a platform foundation and here you go to your platform foundation is a lot of topics and here I don't see anything specific to best practices directly available here. It's okay. Okay, but as I said, most of the cases in their best practices explorer section you should be able to find. If it is not there, you can raise a ticket with SAP. Otherwise you can check with your SAP counterpart. Okay, where exactly the cloud ALM test scripts are there for that module, right? But most of the cases I have seen it is inside the best practices explorer. Okay? For that particular module. So recruiting. So this is the recruiting best practices inside that you find out here. And if you go here in a downloadable sections. So here they have provided you the test script for cloud ALM for recruiting models. Again a JPB by the way. JPB and people profile you can get it everywhere. It's almost as all the major models because they have a dependency on this module. So for the reason you will be finding them, right? Because ideally people profile and job profiles are considered on ec ideally. So ece I think you should follow this. Other than that remaining test script you may have to prepare manually for cloud alm. But for recruiting you can see these are the test script. Okay. So cloud ALM test script you can see here directly test script again test script cover ll. The summary is of this entire video. We will be going to the respective best practices and once you go to the respective best practices, definitely if SAP is not in maintaining mode, okay? Otherwise you will be finding them easily in their respective module. Okay? So if you go to here again recruiting I already talked about, right? Then if you go to onboarding, so PMG I already talked about. So if you go to P Onboarding once again. So here again in onboarding go there and if you go to best practices for success factor onboarding. Again if I go to the downloadable section. So here again all the configurations and workbooks. Okay, Test script. So this is a test script where exactly we're finding test script Cloud alm. Okay. And by the way, cloud ALM is a free of cost people who do not know. And if you are already cloud client is already having a six success factor, they're eligible for using SAP cloud alm, right? So for that reason you start leveraging this. Instead of doing manual test scripts highly recommended, you use cloud ALM test script, right? So it is highly recommended. Okay, so then this is for onboarding. For onboarding it is available. I can see that, right? Similarly if I go for other modules, let me do a roundup of almost all modules so that you do not find difficulties in this. Okay, so PMGM is there, onboarding is the recruiting is there. If I go to compensation. So let me check it out. If I go to compensation and if I go here best practices for success factor compensation and if I go to downloadable section as usual. And if I see here we have all the scripts. Okay. So JPB people profile is everywhere, you can see that. But again salary part we have integration with the performance management. So the cloud SAP cloud ALM SAP calm test script is there. You can see that you can utilize this. Okay. Similarly if your salary is integrated to performance management and employee central, there's another scenario huge keys. So here also we have a manual test script plus SAP cloud alm. Okay? Descript if you're having using stock option, then we have a as usual your normal workbook and everything is there. And your test script is also available here. Cloud ALM test script, okay. And test data everything is descriptive, everything is here, right? And similarly if you're going for other test script also we can see here all this test script. Similarly if you're talking about variable pay, variable P also has having a SAP cloud ALM test script available here. So manual test script. This is your cloud test scripts. Similarly for employee central variable pay integrations and performance management integration, we have a test script manual test scripts here. Your cloud ALM test scripts available here, right? Total compensation point of view, you will be also having your cloud ALM test script here and your all the test script you will be finding here in this particular page. Okay? Reward and recognition if you're using it. So cloud ALM so very much detailed way I see that for compensation they have very much detailed Way everything they have descript, milestone, award point based program, everything they have a test script in details. Okay, so this is about the compensation part, right? Now if I go back to the module so other modules, if I talk about this is the compensation we discussed. Then after compensation if I talk about the other talent module, like if I go for learning module, right? If you're implementing learning module, then here also you have to go to, as I say, go to the best practice. Okay, so where is the best practice? We need to identify. So scroll down a bit. This is the best practice guide for learning, right? And if you go further here again go to the downloadable section. So for learning also I can see those are available test script and workbooks, everything for test scripts we have this is the cloud ALM test script, okay, but these are the manual test script you can see, right? So this is how for learning also it is available in our part of the talent management module, right? And if you go back further for the next module, that is a succession cdp. So for that also if you see let me go there succession cdp and in this, if I go scroll down a bit, I can go to the best practice section. In the best practice section I can see there is a downloadable section. And in that if I go further as usual, people profile and job profiles are there. This is for my employee central friends. They can use it, they can leverage it because it's everywhere. Available in almost all talent modules because they have a dependency. But for succession management point of view, you can see the cloud ALM step is here, the workbook is here. Okay, all the details are here. Similarly for succession management you're using MDA based position nominations. The test script workbooks are the thing here, right? Similarly for carrier development planning point of view, if you're looking for workbook is here, your test script, test cloud ALM test script is here, you can directly go and use it. And if you're using integrated career development planning with continuous performance management and lms, go test script and test data, test sample data and cloud ALM test script is here. If you are using mentoring module within SAP success facility development planning, then you can utilize this kind of SAP cloud ALM predefined test scripts here. Okay, so this is for your career development, succession planning and all those modules, right? And if you're utilizing any other modules, you can always explore. Okay, so but this is the page, the key idea is for every module you have to go to those respective module and identify where exactly these are there, right? These are the four modules like we Have a KCP commissions, territory and quota Also we can have a look into it here. These are not very much frequently used modules. But still company have started actually now using it. But I don't see here, I don't have any idea about it where the test scripts are here because they're a little different, you know, comes under a different vertical. Although it is now part of success factor. Right, But I don't see those scripts are here at present. Right. So I will be focusing more on the HR part of it. And if I go for. Let's say I already covered talent management and core hr EC time tracking is not available directly here. You may have to look into partner rating for some other resources. Okay, but at least I have shown you maximum talent management modules are there for payroll. It is already there. Okay. For. Okay, it's already there, right. So if you're using document management or work zone, you can have to. You have to explore again if you go to work zone, right? So here also if you go to best practices, I don't see best practice documents here. So I said still it is actually improvising this thing to take some time. But majority of modules, if you go the key takeaway is from this video you have to go to the respective best practices and from the best practices you will be finding those Cloud ALM test script. If it is not there, definitely you have to use the template which is offered by Cloud ALM and you may have to usually as usual write the test, but it is easy. People who do not know how to use Cloud ALM and all, basically you have to go through there is a specific program. So you have to go here and Cloud alm. Okay, so basically it is now after Linux and Signavio. This is primarily used. It's a mostly for testing purpose, but it's the entire lifecycle management tool. Right. So for that I will highly recommend to go to learning.SAP.com inside that if you search for Cloud ALM you will finding the fundamental. There are some certain record of achievements available directly. You can go for those training. Those are free of cost. Okay. So you can explore those as well. So Cloud ALM operating with Cloud alm, implementing Cloud alm. These are all free learning journeys. You'll be also gaining a record of out of this. Okay, so basically there is a certification course also and you can have a look into it. Okay. So this is what it is actually from a learning perspective. So you can go through this. How do you implement? How do you know from a success factor point of view? How it is relevant. Right. So you will be able to getting an idea out of this. Right. So this is very comprehensive course. I highly recommend for everyone, whether you are part of success factor or non success or any other modules that pursuing. Right. This is a common tool for everyone because testing is common for every module. Right. So you can see operating how do we operate Cloud alm. Right. So this is what exactly they've explained in a very comprehensive way. Right. So hope it was useful and take an advantage of this tool in your projects and simplify your life. Simplify your projects and also be productive in your projects. Hope it was helpful. Thank you. Thank you everyone.
