This is targeted for all MENA customers using SAP-HCM Localized products, along with implementation partners. A webinar session was held where the HCM LPM team provided a briefing about the market needs, challenges and benefits of the tools followed by a full explanation and demos about the Report Generation Utility by the Localization development team in Bangalore.

The Report Generation Utility helps customers to build different types of employee specific reports, legal and customer specific reports/letters with minimum effort. The output can be either on MS Word, PDF or AVL format.
