SAP HCM & Organisational Management
For Nova, SAP HCM is the authoritative HR source: the personnel master drives the joiner/mover/leaver process, and Organizational Management supplies org units, positions, and their holders straight from the SAP tables HRP1000 and HRP1001.
What Nova does with SAP HCM & Organizational Management
- Reads personnel master data with SAP validity periods: Nova understands infotype values with date ranges and distinguishes current values from future-dated changes
- Simulation preview before every sync: you see joiners, movers, and leavers with the exact field changes before Nova writes anything
- Detects rehires by personnel number and email and reactivates the existing profile instead of creating a duplicate
- Future-dated changes, such as an upcoming department transfer or a leave date, are stored and take effect automatically on their due date
- Synchronizes the org tree from SAP Organizational Management: org units, positions, and position holders, optionally scoped to a subtree
- Field mapping between SAP attributes and Nova fields is configured in the admin interface, including your own custom fields
Technical integration
Personnel data arrives as SAP infotypes through a virtual directory server (LDAP) or a staging table; the organizational structure is read via RFC directly from HRP1000 and HRP1001, with an RFC ping as the connection check. Access to Organizational Management is read-only by design: Nova writes nothing into your HCM.
In the identity lifecycle
This source sets the pace of the lifecycle: new hires create users, changes of department or position trigger the mover routine, and leave dates deactivate accounts automatically through a daily scan; access requests and recertification work with the current org and position data from SAP.
