Personnel Subareas

A personnel subarea is an organizational unit that represents a specific area of the company organized according to certain aspects of personnel, time management and payroll. The following business subtasks belong to the personnel subarea:

• Defining of pay scale and wage type structure
  
• Defining planned working hours
  
• Defining appraisal criteria
  

Example

The Berlin site of Company X is physically separated by a railroad line. This could mean that two different tax or employment offices are responsible for the respective areas. In this case, you would define a personnel area "Berlin" and two personnel subareas.


Requirements

Personnel areas must be created.


Standard settings

The standard SAP system contains the personnel subarea "blank" which you can use if you do not need any additional personnel area subdivisions.


Recommendation

If you do not use personnel subareas in your enterprise structure, you must still set up at least one personnel subarea (for example, "blank") for each personnel area so that you can assign the business characteristics to it.


Further notes

Additional functions exist to edit personnel subareas. You can access these functions by calling up the function "Copy, delete, check personnel subarea". When you use these functions, the entry in the personnel subarea table as well as all the dependent customizing and system tables where the personnel subarea is used as a key, are edited.

Here you will find information on the additional functions Copy / Delete / Check / Edit project IMG.


Activities

1. Create your personnel subareas.

2. Copy one of the templates contained in the standard SAP System.

3. Delete all the sample entries that you do not need.

4. Use the additional functions to copy, to delete or to check the environment data for the personnel subarea.

5. Use the project IMG view to postprocess data that was changed automatically. Because the project IMG view remains the same, you can carry out the postprocessing at a later date.
