HR Support Packages and CLC Local Version Legal Changes in HCM

HR Support Packages (HR SPs for S4HCM)

HR Support Packages are released every month and provide HR customers around the globe with the latest legal requirements and corrections. They include all updates for international functions and local versions. Refer to the above schedules and download them from the SAP Software Download Center in SAP for Me.

Local Version Legal Change (CLC) Packages

CLC Packages represent a different method of delivering HR legal changes; they are offered in addition to HR Support Packages. CLC Packages include local version-specific legal changes - one CLC Package per local version. CLC Packages enable you to decide when to implement legal changes for their local versions, reducing test efforts and risks significantly. This delivery process is available for the following software component S4HCM. You can find further information here. In addition, a recording is available.

A prerequisite of the CLC process is that the software components are separated by local version and international subcomponents as follows:

Required sub-componentsFor  S4HCM component
Local version subcomponentS4HCMC<ISO code>
(Example: S4HCMCIT for Italy)
Sub-component for international functions reused by local versionsS4HCMRXX
Sub-component for general international functions without any local version dependenciesS4HCMGXX

Synchronization HR SPs

Two Synchronization HR SPs are provided each year: one in May and one in November. You must implement both. For a consistent implementation of CLC Packages, you must first implement the most recent Synchronization HR SP. For details, see SAP Note 1167891. Note also that SAP Notes are assigned to subcomponents instead of S4HCM.

For a legal change, a CLC Package is created for a local version containing all local version-specific transports

  • of the current HR SP
  • the previous HR SPs

down to the Synchronization HR SP or previous CLC Package for this local version.
