First, ensure that all necessary configuration is complete. That is, organizational units and positions are created on the Organizational Management side and that the Enterprise and Personnel Structures are complete.

Define your requirements and configure your system. People-Centric CRM (PCC), pre-configured client, delivers defaults for much of this based on best practices.
