    HR service categorization

    HR services are categorized under one of the HR Centers of Excellence (COEs), which are part of a data model that organizes HR data, services, and processes by functional discipline. Each COE is an extension of the HR Case [sn_hr_core_case] table, and each COE is further organized by HR topic category and detail. Before you begin configuring the individual HR services, determine which COEs you want to use, and then create or modify the appropriate HR topic categories and details for each COE.
