The personnel area is an organizational unit that represents a specific area of the enterprise and is organized according to aspects of personnel, time management and payroll. A personnel area is divided into several personnel subareas. Please note that the personnel subareas contain the business characteristics. To assign the business characteristics, you must have set up at least one personnel subarea for each of your personnel areas even if you do not use personnel subareas in your enterprise structure.
When you define the personnel areas, the setting up of the enterprise structure has begun. You assign characteristics to these personnel areas in subsequent IMG steps. These steps are dealt with in the IMG at the same time they are established in a business sense.
Example
Company X has three production plants in Germany: Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin. In the SAP System these would constitute three personnel areas.
Requirements
Familiarize yourself with your enterprise structure.
Standard settings
The standard system contains several sample personnel areas.
Recommendation
Always create personnel areas with a four-character key.
When defining personnel areas, consider their effects on the areas mentioned above. If necessary, compare the definition of the personnel areas with the persons responsible for payroll and time management.
Further notes
Enhanced functions are available for editing personnel areas. You can call them up using the function call "Copy, delete, check personnel area". When you use this function, the entry in the personnel area table, as well as all the dependent customizing and system tables that contain the personnel area as a key are edited.
For additional information on these enhanced fucntions, refer to Copy / delete / check / edit project IMG.
