OREANDA-NEWS.  September 30, 2013. Energy Consulting and ОJSC TATNEFT have jointly designed an HRM solution recognized as the best one at the Summit of the Russian localization of SAP solutions. This software will become a part of the standard SAP ERP functionality. 

The first Russian contest of customer developments was held in Moscow within the framework of the annual Summit of the Russian localization of SAP solutions. Following the voting results, the best software will be included into the standard SAP ERP functionality. Energy Consulting and ОJSC TATNEFT have provided a joint solution "Making provisions for payment of unused days of vacations in accounting for the quarterly stocktaking" in the Human Capital Management (HCM) system based on SAP (SAP HCM). 
 
The contest for the best client’s software was taken in two functional areas: SAP ERP FI/LO (Finance & logistics) and SAP ERP HCM (Human Capital Management). The participants of the contest presented own solutions which, on their opinions, should be included into the standard SAP ERP functionality. The Summit experts should cast their vote for one of the presented solutions. The invited experts are SAP clients-users who have an interest in the development of a choosing solution. 

The software-winner in the SAP HCM area was implemented by Energy Consulting in 23 structural divisions of ОJSC TATNEFT. The users are the staff of HR departments, labor organization and remuneration departments, as well as accounting and financial departments.  

This implementation has been facilitated by need to make and update provisions for payment of unused days of vacations plus insurance payments for ОJSC TATNEFT, on a quarterly basis starting with the 2011 annual financial statements. The software enables to check the actual balance of unused days of vacations for each employee, to post accurate data into the system and to calculate provisions, given actual daily salary of employees.

Ramil Khairullin, Deputy Head of the Accounting & Reporting Methodology and Internal Audit Department of ОJSC TATNEFT: “Thanks to this software we have got an actual data on use of employees rights for their vacation. Accruals of actual vacation payments within a year are made on the basis of the previously made provisions for leave, and the accruals of provisions allows to distribute equally the amount of vacation payments on production costs.”

It is the first case in Russia when the HCM software developed by Russian specialists and chosen as the best by show of hands among SAP clients and professionals becomes a part of the standard SAP ERP functionality and will be used by all SAP clients and supported by SAP AG within the framework of standard support & maintenance services. This victory has become possible due to the coordinated work of the accounting and reporting department, HR department, labor and remuneration department, and SAP service of OJSC TATNEFT together with a team of consultants from Energy Consulting.  

Marina Malykhina, First Deputy General Director, the Energy Consulting Group: "The recognition of merits of the joint team OJSC TATNEFT and the Energy Consulting Group by Russian SAP clients and professional community certifies the high quality of current projects performance and the solid foundation for successful solution of new ambitious tasks aimed at automation of client business processes".
