Implementation of the SAP Interface to BMD

ALL IN-HOUSE PROCESSES

SML Maschinengesellschaft mbH is a true global player in its niche as a manufacturer of machinery for plastic films. SML was originally part of LENZING AG. After becoming an independent company, it gradually separated its operations from those of its former parent company.

INFORMATICS implemented the SAP HCM HR tool back in 2018. In early 2019, time management was moved out of the LAG, and in January 2020, the next step was taken: payroll processing—which was previously outsourced—is now handled in-house. As a result, SML now manages all payroll processing (PV) in-house.

SAP-BMD INTERFACE

However, the new HR department relies not on SAP but on BMD. To transfer data from SAP HCM—which also integrates time management and logistics processes—to BMD, a new interface was needed. This was implemented just in time before the COVID-19 crisis. All data required for time tracking and organizational management is recorded in the mini-master record.

This data is transferred to BMD on a monthly basis. There, the relevant HR master data is enriched and processed. With this interface, INFORMATICS ensured that no data is lost and that direct data transfer from SAP to BMD is guaranteed using the mini-master record.
