The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
This skill enforces correct Fieldglass implementation practices, ensuring that rate cards are defined before worker onboarding, compliance validation is never skipped for contingent workers, and the VMS platform is configured to provide actual workforce visibility — not just transactional processing.

SAP Fieldglass is a Vendor Management System (VMS) that manages the full lifecycle of contingent (non-employee) workers and services procurement through external suppliers.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Job Posting | Request for a contingent worker with job category, skills, location, duration |
| Worker | Individual contingent resource with profile, assignment, and compliance status |
| Supplier | Staffing agency or consulting firm providing workers |
| Rate Card | Approved bill rates by job category, location, and experience level |
| Engagement | Active assignment linking worker, supplier, cost center, and rate |
| Timesheet | Weekly/biweekly time entry for hours worked and billing |
SOW manages project-based or deliverable-based engagements where you pay for outcomes, not hours.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Scope of Work | Detailed description of deliverables and activities |
| Milestones | Payment-triggering events with acceptance criteria |
| Not-to-Exceed (NTE) | Maximum budget cap for the engagement |
| Payment Terms | Milestone-based, time-and-materials, or fixed-price |
| Deliverable Acceptance | Formal sign-off process for each milestone |
| Change Orders | Amendment process for scope/budget changes |
| Aspect | Contingent Worker | SOW |
|---|---|---|
| Payment basis | Hourly/daily rate | Milestone or fixed price |
| Management | Direct supervision by manager | Managed by supplier |
| Compliance | Individual worker-level | Engagement-level |
| Co-employment risk | Higher (direct supervision) | Lower (supplier-managed) |
| Tracking | Timesheets | Milestone completion |
Request → Sourcing → Selection → Onboarding → Active → Extension/Offboarding| Stage | Activities | System Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Request | Job posting creation, requirements definition | Rate card application, approval routing |
| Sourcing | Supplier distribution, candidate submission | Candidate tracking, interview scheduling |
| Selection | Manager review, interview, selection | Offer creation, compliance trigger |
| Onboarding | Background check, compliance docs, system access | Compliance workflow, integration trigger |
| Active | Time entry, expense claims, performance feedback | Timesheet approval, invoice generation |
| Extension | Tenure check, rate review, re-approval | Tenure alert, rate card revalidation |
| Offboarding | Assignment end, system access revoke, final invoice | Offboarding workflow, compliance close |
Worker revisions (rate change, end date extension, cost center change) follow separate approval workflows with re-validation of rate cards and budget availability.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Job Category | Hierarchical classification (IT > Developer > Java Developer) |
| Location | Geographic rate differentiation (country, region, city) |
| Experience Level | Junior, mid, senior tiers with rate ranges |
| Bill Rate | Amount paid to supplier (includes markup) |
| Pay Rate | Amount supplier pays worker (bill rate minus markup) |
| Markup Percentage | Supplier fee, negotiated per supplier or category |
| Overtime Rate | Multiplier for hours beyond standard (1.5x, 2x) |
| Trigger | Routing Logic |
|---|---|
| Job posting creation | Cost threshold, job category, department |
| Worker selection | Rate vs. rate card, total engagement cost |
| Timesheet approval | Manager approval, cost center owner |
| Invoice approval | Amount threshold, PO reference |
| SOW creation | Total value, category, department head |
| SOW milestone | Deliverable acceptance by designated reviewer |
| Worker extension | Tenure policy check, rate card revalidation |
| Rate exception | Deviation from rate card requires procurement approval |
Configurable delegation rules for approver absence. Delegation by role, by individual, with time-bounded delegation periods.
| Area | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Worker classification | Independent contractor vs. employee (IRS 1099/W-2, UK IR35) |
| Work authorization | Visa status, right-to-work documentation |
| Background checks | Criminal, credit, education verification |
| Certifications | Industry-specific (safety, security clearance, professional license) |
| Insurance | Worker's compensation, professional liability (supplier-level) |
| Tenure management | Maximum engagement duration by jurisdiction |
| Data privacy | GDPR/CCPA compliance for worker personal data |
| Integration | Direction | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Cost center sync | S/4HANA -> Fieldglass | Organizational structure for cost allocation |
| Supplier master | S/4HANA -> Fieldglass | Vendor master for supplier registration |
| Purchase order | Fieldglass -> S/4HANA | PO creation for approved engagements |
| Goods receipt (service) | Fieldglass -> S/4HANA | Service entry sheet from timesheet approval |
| Invoice | Fieldglass -> S/4HANA | Consolidated invoice for AP processing |
| Payment status | S/4HANA -> Fieldglass | Payment confirmation for supplier visibility |
| Report | Description |
|---|---|
| Spend Analysis | Total contingent spend by category, supplier, location |
| Headcount Report | Active contingent workers by department, cost center |
| Tenure Report | Workers approaching or exceeding tenure limits |
| Rate Compliance | Actual rates vs. rate card compliance |
| Supplier Performance | Fill rate, time-to-fill, quality scores by supplier |
| Savings Report | Negotiated savings vs. market rates |
| Compliance Dashboard | Background check status, certification expiry |
