Organization Unit & Personnel Subarea

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

If we classified PSA according to the departments in organization & we created OM, in that Org Unit is considered as per departments, then why org unit (No. wise) is considered lesser comparative to PSA.

There are broadly four basic structures in SAP HCM:

1) The Enterprise structure 2) The Organizational structure 3 ) Personnel structure 4) Payl structure.

The Enterprise structure has a larger purview than the other three including the Org structure of which the Org unit is a part . Personnel area is a part of Enterprise structure. Since Enterprise structure has higher level in structural heirachy than Org structure, the Org unit shall always lie low than Personnel Area.

As stated by Kapil, PSA being a part of Enterprise structure needs to be designed considering dependencies like Payroll, Time Management, whereas Org unit do not have these dependencies.

Hi,

Organization Structure has no implications and dependencies on Payroll and Time Management, While , Personnel Area, Personnel Subarea, Employee Groups and Employee Sub Groups have a major implications on Time Management and Payroll thats why Desigining of Enterprise and Personnel Structure is a major Job.

Organization Structure we can design in any way.

PSA is required for so many groupings in time and payroll so while defining them you need to be careful.
