What is OM Zen? - GalapagosAdmin/OMZen GitHub Wiki

Welcome to the OM Zen wiki!

OM Zen is a simulator for SAP ERP's Organizational Management module.

The idea is that the files usually used for loading organizational data into SAP are very difficult for humans to visualize, and so the only way to check them for errors and see what the resulting org. chart will look like is to actually load them into SAP. This is easier said than done because:

Sometimes the SAP environment may not be available yet, or may be being used for other purposes (i.w. payroll testing, etc.)
Every time the data is to be re-loaded in SAP, the existing object data must be deleted, etc., which may be difficult and time consuming.

But what if instead of actually loading the data into SAP, you could simulate the load on your PC? That's what OM Zen does. You open the program, and select the load files. OM Zen will then process the files and display the resulting org. structure in a similar fashion to PPOSE.

The resulting org. structure can also be exported to HTML (which is easily convertible to PDF!) and/or a TSV file (which can be copy-pasted to a spreadsheet).

An error checking feature is also included to help you find orphaned objects, etc.

Current Status:

Supports loading of a format called "SSL" used by one major SAP outsourcing vendor. This format is close to SAP'S HRBP package in that HRP1000 (Object) and HRP1001 (Relationship) data are stored in two separate files.
Supports loading of a custom combined format, which includes both object and relationship data in a single file.

Plans:

At least HRBP format and SAP's OM transport format will be accepted for both import and export. This will make is easy to export an existing structure from SAP, edit it, and re-upload.
More configuration through preference files. This will allow you to customize the program for your own projects.
Better support for online changes. This will let you design the org. chart using the program and then export it to the desired file format.
