Organizational Structure

Organizational Plan helps in depicting the Organizational Structures and hierarchy requirements in an organization. It also gives a clear picture of the personnel environment in an enterprise. It depicts the hierarchy that exists between the organizational units and its relationship.

It clearly shows the individual position and its reporting structure. Organizational Plan facilitates mapping the chain of command existing in the organization.

PAYROLL Areas

PAYROLL Areas

SAP ERP system uses Payroll Areas to group employees for whom payroll should be run together, and at the same time. You can perform payroll separately for different employee groups, using different payroll areas. Which payroll area the employee belongs to depends on his or her organizational assignment. Employees who belong to different company codes can, for example, be grouped in the same payroll area.

SAP recommends that you use few Payroll areas as possible. For example, an organization may pay employees on 28th of the current period and another at the beginning of the subsequent month so at least two payroll areas must be created.

When you run payroll, you must specify the payroll area in the payroll driver selection screen. The Payroll Area has the following functions:

* Determines the exact Payroll Period.

* Select the personnel numbers grouped under the Payroll Area.

Question and answer about PID

What is a PID?

In F1 field-specific help, there is a tab for Technical Information. This tab contains a field’s parameter identifier or PID. Once you have the PID, you can assign a default value to a field.

How can you assign a PID to a user profile?

Follow the menu path System → User profile → Own data to access the Maintain User Profile screen and choose the Parameters tab.

Enter the PID for the field in a blank Parameters field and then enter the value (for example “2006”) in the corresponding Value field.

Save the changes. The new default value will take effect only after you log off and log on again to SAP.

Result: Once the PID is assigned to your user profile, its field will be filled in with the data you assigned whenever you use a transaction that includes that field.

A Caution Regarding PIDs

A Caution Regarding PIDs

The data entered as a default value for the Fiscal year PID will remain assigned until you goes back to change it. This is true for all PIDs you assign to your user profile.

For example, If you have entered entered GJR PID as 2009 for the fiscal year 2010 & if you does not return to update the value for the GJR PID when the year changes to 2011, your Fiscal year field will still populate automatically in all transactions – but with the incorrect year!

Studying about PID

In F1 field-specific help, there is an icon for Technical Info . This tab contains the field’s parameter identifier or PID, along with other technical information. A field can be filled with proposed values from SAP memory using a parameter ID.

Once you know a field’s PID, you can assign a default value to automatically populate that field whenever it appears in a transaction. This change is made for your user profile only – it does not change the field’s value for other users.
