Personnel Adminitration in SAP

The Personnel Administration (PA) in SAP allows to create employees and store their data permanently. PA is a central component of the SAP HR solution, because here we create employees and these employees are needed for almost every HR process. The only process where we don´t use employees is the recruiting process, because here candidates are handled.

The data of the employees are stored in the so called infotypes. Infotypes are used to group the data of the employee. For example the is the "Personal Data Infotype", also known as infotype 0002 where the name, the sex, the ID number etc of the employee is stored. Another wellknown infotype is the "Address Data Infotype (Infotype 0006 or I0006)".

The most important HR Infotypes are listed here.
