| Key Concept |
| HR structures within SAP ERP HCM are comprised of the enterprise structure and the personnel structure. The enterprise structure includes the key fields of company code, personnel area, and personnel subarea. It typically defines a company’s legal entities, locations, and operations of business. The personnel structure includes the employee group and employee subgroup fields and defines how a company views its people in the form of hourly, salary, full-time, and part time. During the design of SAP ERP HCM implementations, both the personnel and enterprise structures should be examined carefully as they are the foundation of an SAP ERP HCM system. |
When performing SAP ERP HCM implementations, upgrades, or expansions, one of the major hurdles is defining the HR structures to use within SAP ERP HCM. How you define the HR structure has a big effect on transactions, reporting (both legal and transactional), interfaces, payroll/time processing, talent management, and training. In addition, many projects don’t always take into consideration how the enterprise and personnel structures could affect an SAP ERP HCM global template, local country rollouts, and configuration dependencies for payroll, time, benefits, and legal reporting. Therefore, it is important to know how to define the HR structure and know its effect while in the blueprint phase of a project. Not properly designing and thinking through the integration points of the HR structures could potentially lead to major rework and additional costs to the implementation.
