Getting started : SAP HR

SAP HR is one of the biggest and most in-demand module in SAP. In fact it is the most interesting module as  everything we do is related to the real time employee issues.

Personal administration in short PA is itself self explanatory. Person refers to "Employee", Personnel refers to "Group of Employees" and Administration meant for "Master data Maintenance".

In total the PA sub-module contains "Hire" stage to "Rehire" stage.         

Organisation Management in short OM: It describes organisation structure and reporting structure for a specific period.

Similarly Time Management(TM) and Payroll are also the important sub-modules which helps to maintain the time related data of the employee and corresponding information is sent for payroll validation based on time data.

In SAP HR we maintain data in the infotype screens which will be transferred to HR master data.When we fetch data for any purpose it will seem like below where the data to fill the blanks is fetched from different infotypes maintained for that employee while hiring.

We are delighted to offer you the position (IT 0001) of ______. You will belong to ______ department (IT 0001).
