1.1 About the Application

Nakisa OrgAudit is a tool used to enforce SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) data integrity and to
ensure that relevant business rules are followed. Data entry issues can cause key pieces of information
to be missing, inconsistent, or incorrectly maintained. This can have a negative impact ranging from mild
(for example, indicating an employee is scheduled for retirement due to an incorrectly entered birth date)
to severe (for example, salary errors, or terminated employees remaining on the payroll).
Nakisa OrgAudit helps HR Business Partners visualize data errors by enabling you to:
l Run regular audit reports to identify data issues.
l Have online access to:
l Analysis of errors associated with an org unit (position, employee, and organization data errors).
l An error search function.
l Error trend graphics.
l System tools for correcting errors.
l View organizational of vacancy data.
l Use a dashboard with key performance indicators (KPIs).
l View key analytics for data quality monitoring.
Nakisa OrgAudit connects to an SAP server and extracts a specific set of data, which it stores in a
staged database. It then compares that data against a set of rules defined by an administrator. For exam-
ple, the application may check if there are any employee records with an AGE value over 65. Once the
application has checked position, employee and org unit records against the rules, it produces a list of
errors — this is called an audit run. You can view these errors in multiple ways to see what problems
exist, to check their status, and to follow up on problems in the next audit run.
Note: A system administrator configures the application to accommodate the specific needs of your com-
pany. The information provided in this guide may be different from the current application if it is cus-
tomized.

3.1 Viewing Org Charts

Organizational charts (org charts) graphically show the hierarchical authority, roles and responsibilities,
and relationships in an organization.
Org charts are available in enhanced (Flash) and basic (HTML) modes. Enhanced mode offers additional
viewing and printing options, and is enabled in the application preferences. Adobe Flash Player 10 or later
is required to view enhanced-mode org charts.
Note: Your system administrator may enable only one of the modes; the org chart mode setting in the
Application Preferences is disabled as a result.
The available org charts are identified by the icon in the application menu. The application includes the
following org charts by default:
Organization Structure Org Chart
The Organization Structure org chart represents the reporting relationships of org units and their under-
lying org units and positions. Click an org unit box to access the org unit Details panel; click a position box
to access the position Details panel. The Details panels provide additional information about the errors
contained in the selected organizational object.
The default Error Standard view displays the error distribution by org unit, position, and employee, and
also shows any direct and indirect critical errors. Use other views, such as Severity or Trend, to visualize
different aspects of error reports. See Changing Org Chart Views, section 3.4 on page 17.
The following terms are applicable to the Organization Structure org chart:
Term Definition
Direct Errors Org unit, position, and employee errors detected during an audit run that are asso-
ciated directly with the selected org unit. In the preceding screenshot, there are no
errors in the org unit, position, or employee records that report directly to the
Finance and Administration org unit.
Indirect Errors Org unit, position, and employee errors detected during an audit run that are one or
more levels deeper than the selected org unit. In the preceding screenshot, there is
one error in the position records that report to org units that are subordinate to the
Finance and Administration org unit.
13 www.nakisa.com
Term Definition
Critical Errors Errors of the highest degree of severity as determined by audit rules set by the sys-
tem administrator. A critical error usually affects payroll. Nakisa OrgAudit hier-
archies specifically highlight the critical error count.
Person FTE Full-time equivalent value associated with an employee.
Position FTE Full-time equivalent value associated with a position.
Note: Error totals displayed in parent org chart boxes may be inconsistent with the number of errors
shown in the child boxes. Parent org chart boxes display errors in all languages, but when the parent org
chart box is expanded, only positions and org units matching the applications selected language are dis-
played.
Company Code Org Chart
This org chart is based on a flat hierarchy of positions linked to a company code and has one org chart
view that displays the error distribution by record group and error severity. The following record groups are
available:
l OM - Organizational Management
l PA - Personnel Administration
l CM - Compensation Management
These groups correspond to the SAP ERP system modules where the records belong.
The Score column lists score values calculated based on the total number of errors in the record group,
the total number of records, and the rule weight coefficient (see Score Calculation, section 6.8 on page 56
for more details on the calculation). Click an org chart box to access the company code Details panel.
Nakisa Inc. 14
3 Org Charts
Position Org Chart
This org chart is based on a flat position hierarchy and the default Error Severity view displays the direct
and indirect error distribution by record group and error severity. The Score column lists score values cal-
culated based on the total number of errors in the record group, the total number of records, and the rule
weight coefficient (see Score Calculation, section 6.8 on page 56 for more details on the calculation). The
values in the Records column show the number of position records for the OM group and number of
employee records for the PA and CM groups.
Note: Error totals displayed in parent org chart boxes may be inconsistent with the number of errors
shown in the child boxes. Parent org chart boxes display errors in all languages, but when the parent org
chart box is expanded, only positions matching the applications selected language are displayed.
Click an org chart box to access the position Details panel, which provides additional information about
the errors contained in the position record. Use the available Standard view to see the direct and indirect
errors for each record group. See Changing Org Chart Views, section 3.4 on page 17.
Note: A system administrator creates and sets up audit run rules and assigns their weight coefficients.
To view an org chart:

1. Click the appropriate item in the application menu bar, then click the required org chart. The org chart
loads in the tab panel.
2. Use the navigation icons at the bottom of org chart boxes with subordinate records to expand / or
collapse / the org chart boxes. The color of the buttons identify the organizational object type (for
example, org unit, position, employee).
3. Continue to expand the org chart; when you reach the required box, click it to open the Details panel.
4. To ensure the org chart fits the viewing area, change the org chart style or use the zoom tool.

3.4 Changing Org Chart Views

Org chart views change the information displayed in the org chart boxes. Org charts that have more than
one hierarchy provide different views for each organizational object included in the org chart. Views are
configured by your system administrator for each available org chart and can include additional infor-
mation such as e-mail links or employee portraits.
Org charts are based on org unit hierarchies and contain information on records data quality. Select the
appropriate org chart error view to see the org chart data quality status and identify the org unit, position,
or employee record that contains erroneous data to be able to correct it in the SAP system.
For example, if the default Organization Structure org chart shows an org unit in the hierarchy with one out
of a total of five indirect errors (errors that occur at a deeper hierarchy node level) that is employee-
related, you expand the org unit to locate the one with a direct error and then expand this sub-unit to reveal
the specific position or employee that is the source of the error.
Tip: You can change the view for the entire org chart or for individual boxes.
Organization Structure Org Chart Views

The following default views are available for the Organization Structure org chart. Note that this org chart
displays both org unit and position objects, and the information displayed in the org chart boxes depends

4.1 About ChartBook

A ChartBook is an interactive PDF document that is used to view individual branches of the organization
structure. Each page displays a different subset of the org chart structure and shows a parent box at the
top of the page and the reporting child units underneath. For example, for an org unit and position struc-
ture, each page shows an org unit parent and the directly reporting org units or positions in the selected
branch.
The ChartBook features complete PDF functionality, including bookmarks, a table of contents, an index,
hyperlinks, and full search capabilities. Use the table of contents that lists all the org units and positions
generated by the ChartBook to locate the required branch. For each branch, you can display a subordinate
table that lists direct subordinates to the current node.
Note: If your system administrator configured the application to group similar records in one org chart box,
each record is displayed in its own org chart box in the generated ChartBook.
Use the ChartBook generator to create a ChartBook PDF file. In the ChartBook generator:
l Create a custom cover page.
l Specify page layout, including headers and footers.
l Generate table of contents, index, and legend table.
l Specify document section heading styles.
l Specify the subordinate table styles.
l Specify the PDF document security settings.
l Create, save, and reuse document style and layout templates.

Note: Rules can be secured per role to restrict access to the related errors in the error listings (including
the errors listed in the Details panels). If a rule is restricted for a role, then users with that role will not be
able to see the specific errors related to that rule, but the errors are still included in the total number of
errors and score calculations in dashboards, Details panels, and views. Contact your system admin-
istrator for more information.
The available listings are identified by the icon in the application menu. The application includes the fol-
lowing listings by default:

6.1 Audit Overview

Nakisa OrgAudit provides tools to help identify, track, and verify corrected errors in the SAP system.
Audit run rules (configured in the Nakisa AdminConsole) detect errors that can be reviewed using the avail-
able listings and org charts. Errors statuses show the error correction progress (see Modifying Error
Status for descriptions on the available error statuses). Lastly, subsequent audit runs are used to verify
that errors have been corrected in the SAP system.
For any given audit run, the recommended workflow is as follows:
l Perform an audit run using the Nakisa AdminConsole (Refer to the Administrator Guide for instruc-
tions on setting up rules and audit runs). The application automatically sets any new errors to "open".
l Review the detected errors using the available org charts or listings:
l If you wish to focus on a particular org unit or position, use the Organization Structure org chart to
access the org unit or position Details panels.
l If you wish to focus on a particular error type or severity, use one of the error listings (Open Errors,
and All Errors are recommended in this case) to identify and prioritize specific errors that require
attention.
l Use the score to analyze and compare the data integrity in specific positions and company codes.
l Use the error Details panel to change the error status to "In progress" to indicate that action is being
taken for the error.
l Correct the error in the SAP system.
l Use the error Details to update the error status to "closed".
l Perform another audit run to verify if closed errors have been corrected. Any closed errors that were
not corrected will appear as auto-opened.
l Use the various analytic tools (such as the Dashboard reports and Time Lag) to gauge error trends.
Note: Rules can be secured per role to restrict access to the related errors in the error listings (including
the errors listed in the Details panels). If a rule is restricted for a role, then users with that role will not be
able to see the specific errors related to that rule, but the errors are still included in the total number of
errors and score calculations in dashboards, Details panels, and views. Contact your system admin-
istrator for more information.

6.6 Viewing Audit Run Details

Once an audit run is performed, use the audit run Details panel, which is accessed through the Audit Runs
listing, to review the number of errors detected, verify if errors have been corrected, and compare the
results with previous audit runs.
The Details panel is organized into three main sections:
l Audit Run Details displays the errors that were detected, auto-closed, and auto-opened for the
selected audit run.
l Neighboring Audit Runs lists the current audit run, the audit run immediately before and after the cur-
rent one.
l Tabs at the bottom of the panel lists the rules used in the current audit run and provides statistics on
the error severity and status, as well as any user-provided notes.
Each section is described in greater detail below.
Audit Run Details

This section provides the audit run ID, audit run date, and lists the number of errors for the following three
error types:
l Errors Detected: The number of new and auto-opened errors detected in the current audit run. Any
errors that were detected in previous audit runs using the same rule will not appear in the current one.
For example, if 20 errors were detected in the first audit run (ID 0) using the Gender rule, they will not
appear as detected errors in the second audit run (ID 1) using the same rule. On the other hand, if 2
errors where set to "closed" in the Nakisa AdminConsole after audit run ID 0 but were not actually
fixed in the SAP server, then they will appear as 2 detected errors in audit run ID 1.
Note: The errors detected does not represent open errors, but rather the errors detected in the current
audit run. This value will remain the same, even if errors in the current audit run are closed using Nak-
isa OrgAudit. To review open errors, use the Open Errors listing instead.
l Auto-Closed Errors: The number of errors that were detected in a previous audit run and whose
status was not changed in the application but were corrected in the SAP system before the current
audit run. For example, if 20 errors were detected in audit run ID 1, and 10 of them were corrected in
the SAP system but not changed to the "closed" status in the application, then audit run ID 2 will flag
these 10 errors as "auto-closed". To review all closed and auto-closed errors, use the Recently Closed
or All Errors listings.
l Auto-opened errors: The number of errors in whose status was changed to "closed" in a previous
audit run, but were not corrected in the SAP system. For example, if 20 errors were detected in audit
Nakisa Inc. 51
run ID 0, and the status of 10 of them were changed to "closed" in the application but not corrected in
the SAP system, these 10 errors will appear as "auto-opened" in audit run ID 1. To review all opened
and re-opened errors, use the Open Errors listing.
Neighboring Audit Runs

This section lists the current audit run, the audit run immediately before (if applicable), and the audit run
immediately after the current one (if applicable). The ID, date, and number of detected, auto-closed, and
auto-opened errors are provided for each audit run.
The list is particularly useful to verify if errors closed in a previous audit run were corrected. Consider the
following example, where two audit runs were performed using the same Age incorrect rule:
In this example, two errors were closed in audit run 0, and the subsequent audit run detected five auto-
closed errors and one auto-opened error. This indicates that five errors were corrected directly in the SAP
system and one of the two closed errors was not corrected in the SAP system. At this point, you can use
the Open Errors or All Errors listing to verify the error that needs attention.
Tabs
The bottom portion of the Details panel contains three tabs that provide additional information about the
current audit run:
52 www.nakisa.com
l The Active Rules tab lists the rules used in the audit run. The following details are displayed for each
rule used in the audit run:
l Rule ID
l Rule description
l Group to which the rule applies (OM, CM, PA)
l Component to which the rule is associated. This is a user-defined value that is set in the Nakisa
AdminConsole.
l The number of new or auto-opened errors detected by the rule.
l The Statistics tab displays two charts that help in tracking the severity and status of errors in the cur-
rent audit run:
l The Detected Errors Distribution by Component and Severity column graph breaks down the
errors by severity, and groups them by component. Mouse over the bars to see the actual number
of errors.
l The Distribution of Open, In Progress, Closed, and Ignored Errors pie chart displays the
breakdown of errors by status. Mouse over the pie segments to see the actual number.
l The Notes tab allows the user to add public and private notes to the selected audit run, similar to the
org chart box notes.
To access the audit run Details panel:

1. In the application menu bar, click Audit > Audit Runs listing.
2. If required, perform a search to find the required audit run.
3. Click the audit run record to display its Details panel.

Details about the selected error are organized into the following three sections:
l The Error Object section identifies the object type and object ID containing the error. The object IDs
for any higher-level objects are also provided. For example, an employee error will also display the
position ID and org unit ID to which the employee belongs, while a position record will only display the
position ID and org unit ID to which it belongs. This can be helpful if you wish to locate the error within

6.7.2 Modifying Error Status

Changing the error status helps in tracking the progress of the error correction. Any changes to the error
status are updated in the History tab of the error Details panel. The following error statuses are used in the
application:
l Open: Any errors detected by the application during an audit run, or any closed or auto-closed errors
manually set back to "open" in the application.
l In progress: Any errors that are currently being corrected. This status is set manually in the appli-
cation.
l Closed: Any errors whose status was changed to "closed" in the application. This status is set man-
ually in the application, and indicates that the error has been corrected in the SAP system.
l Auto-opened: Any errors whose status was changed to "closed" in a previous audit run, but were not
corrected in the SAP system before the current audit run. This status is automatically set by the appli-
cation.
l Auto-closed: Any errors whose status was not changed to "closed" in a previous audit run, but were
corrected in the SAP system before the current audit run. This status is automatically set by the appli-
cation.
l Ignore: Any errors that you do not wish not be automatically closed or auto-opened in subsequent
audit runs. Note that ignored errors are not displayed in the All Errors listing, but are included in the
Ignored Errors listing. This status is set manually in the application.
See Audit Overview for the recommended workflow for reviewing, updating, and correcting errors.
Note: The errors that are manually updated are displayed in the audit run where the error was last
detected. For example, 10 errors are opened in audit run 1, error number 2 is manually closed but then
auto-opened in audit run 2. If error numbers 4 and 5 are ignored, then the Distribution of Open, In Progress,
Close and Ignored Errors chart in the Audit Runs Details panel displays one ignored error in audit run 1
and one ignored error in audit run 2.
Note that when error statuses are modified manually, the following areas of the application are not
updated until the system administrator publishes the build again:

6.8 Score Calculation

Nakisa OrgAudit assigns a score to individual rules and the data contained per group (OM, PA, CM), and
uses these scores to assign a total score to reflect the quality of the data in the database. These scores
fall between 0% (lowest data integrity) and 100% (highest data integrity). Calculating the score takes into
account the following criteria per rule:
l Number of errors
l Number of records to which that rule is applied
l Weight attributed to the rule relative to other rules in that group.
The total score is calculated in the following manner:
1. The percentage of correct records is calculated per rule.
2. Rule score is derived from the rule's correct records percentage and weight.
3. Rule scores are added together per group to determine the group score.
4. Group scores are adjusted by weight and added, resulting in the total score.
Note: At the time of display, the application rounds values to an integer according to the "Round Half to
Even" method, also known as "Bankers Rounding".
The procedures for each step are explained below.
Note: In order to change the default parameters used to calculate the scores, please contact your imple-
mentation partner.
56 www.nakisa.com
Calculating Correct Records
Nakisa OrgAudit calculates the percentage of correct records for a rule by dividing that rule's number of
correct records by its total number of records, multiplied by 100.
Rule Score
After the percentage of correct records for each rule is calculated, Nakisa OrgAudit then determines the
score for each rule. This rule score is equal to the previously calculated percentage adjusted by the weight
specified in Nakisa AdminConsole.
For example:
l Rule A: percentage of correct records = 80%, weight =30%; rule score A = (80 x 0.30) = 24
l Rule B: percentage of correct records = 30%, weight = 50%; rule score B = (30 x 0.50) = 15
l Rule C: percentage of correct records = 100%, weight = 20%; rule score C = (100 x 0.20) = 20
Group Score
After all the rule scores are calculated, Nakisa OrgAudit then determines the score for each group (OM,
PA, CM). The group score is the sum of all rule scores within that group.
To calculate the group score using the rule scores from the example above and assuming that they all
belong to the same group:
group score = rule score A + rule score B + rule score C = 24 + 15 + 20
This yields a group score of 59%.
Total Score
Once the group scores are calculated, Nakisa OrgAudit generates a total score for the entire collection of
data in the database. The total score calculation adds the group scores, adjusted for weight. The default
weights for each group used in the total score calculation is as follows:
l OM = 30%
l PA = 50%
l CM = 20%
For example:
l OM group score = 74%
l PA group score = 59%
l CM group score = 95%
The total score for these values is 71%, as described by the equation below:
total score = (74 x 0.30) + (59 x 0.50) + (95 x 0.20) = 22.2 + 29.5 + 19 = 22 (rounded down) + 30 (rounded
up) + 19

Dashboard
Selecting this report displays a combination of the Error Detection Trend and Error Detection Distribution
reports described below.
Error Detection Trend

Selecting this report displays the following two bar charts:
l Trend Report on Detected Errors and Closed / Auto-Closed Errors: compares all detected errors
against closed and auto-closed errors.
l Average Response Time for Closed / Auto-Closed Errors: displays the average time it took to close or
auto-close errors. Note that the response time for an auto-closed error is based on the date the audit
run closed the error and not the date that the error was fixed in the SAP source.
Both charts display statistics for the last 12 months. You can use the Search dialog box at the top of the
panel to narrow the results displayed.
Error Detection Distribution

Selecting this report displays the following pie charts, with information for the last 12 months:
l Error Distribution by Category (for org unit, position and employee)
l Error Distribution by Severity: the severity is assigned to a rule through the Nakisa AdminConsole
58 www.nakisa.com
l Error Distribution by Status
The different portions of each pie chart are described by their related legend. You can use the Search
dialog box at the top of the panel to refine the report's criteria.
Score on Company Code (12 Months)

By entering a company code in the Search dialog box, this report displays a bar graph of that company's
scores for each of the following:
l OM - org management
l PA - personnel administration
l CM - compensation management
l Overall company code score
The scores range from 0 to 100, and are shown over the previous 12 months. For more information about
scores and how they are calculated, see Score Calculation, section 6.8 on page 56.
Note: The complete list of company codes is available through the Company Code listing.
Score on Organization Units (12 Months)

By entering an Org Unit ID in the Search dialog box, this report displays a bar graph of that org unit's
scores for each of the following:
l OM - org management
l PA - personnel administration
l CM - compensation management
l Overall org unit score
The scores range from 0 to 100, and are shown over the previous 12 months. For more information about
scores and how they are calculated, see Score Calculation, section 6.8 on page 56.
Note: The complete list of org unit IDs is available through the Org Unit listing.
Average Response Time

Selecting this report displays the following two bar charts:
l Average Response Time for Errors By Component: component names are specified though the Nak-
isa AdminConsole
l Average Response Time for Errors By Severity (low, medium, high, or critical)
Both charts display average response time statistics (in days) over the last 12 months. Note that the
response time for an auto-closed error is based on the date the audit run closed the error and not the date
that the error was fixed in the SAP source.
