SAP HR Defining Base Enterprise Structure

GENERAL INFORMATION

In the SAP System, the company’s structure is defined by the Enterprise Structure and the Personnel Structure. When used together, these structures defined the legal entities of the company, work locations for the company, and the Company’s various employee groups.

Because the enterprise and personnel structures help the company differentiates between the various type of employee and work locations, the structures values are used extensively in payroll, time and benefit processing rules.

The enterprise and personnel structures are also used extensively by the financial components of SAP. For instance, the structure values are used in rules to appropriately posts payroll expenses to the correct GL accounts. Additionally, the tracking of recurring base budgets by staff group relies heavily on Enterprise and Personnel structure values.

Enterprise and Personnel structures are stored on positions. When positions are created by the HR compensation Analyst, the appropriate structure values will be selected and stored for the position.

As employees are assigned to positions, the employee will inherit the structure values stored on the position. If the values are not appropriate for the assignment, the values may be changed on the employee assignment screen (Infotype 0001, Organizational Assignment). Especially with concurrent employment, the enterprise and personnel structure values will require carefull over sight.

OVERVIEW OF the ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE

The enterprise structure for Personnel Administration is made up of the following elements.

  1. Client : an independent legal and organizational unit of the system
  2. Company Code : An independent company with its own accounting unit;a company that draws its own balance sheet
  3. Personnel Area : A specific entity for Personnel Administration; a sub division of the company code
  4. Personnel SubArea : A sub division of the personnel Area

Following is a more detailed of each enterprise structure value.

Puasa Kedua di Jakarta

Bulan Puasa September 2008 ini tanpa terasa adalah puasa kali kedua saya di Jakarta. Waktu begitu cepat berlalu. Tidak seperti puasa pertama yg masih fase adaptasi dengan lingkungan baru, kali kedua ini saya manfaatkan untuk lebih mengamati kondisi lalu lintas yg ada terutama di sekitar kantor saya di daerah Thamrin Sudirman.

Kondisi pagi hari, kurang lebih sama …ya macet nya ya campur aduknya..gag ada yg berubah dengan bulan2 di luar bulan Ramadhan ini. Tapi serunya adalah pada saat jam buka puasa. Ternyata kantor2 di Jakarta ini banyak yg merubah jam pulang kantornya. Rata2 memulangkan pekerjanya lebih awal, seperti jam 4 sore atau jam setengah lima sore, untuk memberi kesempatan karyawannya dapat berbuka puasa bersama keluarganya. Hanya ya itu, pada jam2 tersebut kemacetan masih terjadi dimana mana. Seperti di Sudirman Thamrin ini luar biasa macetnya. Kemacetan berlangsung sampai menjelang jam buka puasa. Tapi yg mencengangkan adalah tepat pada jam buka puasa (kurang lebih jam 6 sorean), jalan tampak lenggang luar biasa. Luar biasa. Dan kejadian ini tidak hanya terjadi di jalan Sudirman Thamrin, tapi juga terjadi di Rasuna Said sampai Mampang Prapatan yg terkenal kemacetan pada jam pulang kantor. Luar biasa.

Beberapa teman kantor, terutama yg tempat tinggalnya lumayan jauh (misal di Cinere, Depok, BSD dll) banyak memanfaatkan kondisi ini, yaitu pulang kantor pada jam buka puasa, setelah berbuka puasa secukupnya. Diceritakan  bahwa mereka dapat sampai di rumahnya lebih awal daripada hari biasa atau dibandingkan mereka mengejar pulang kantor jam setengah lima.

Luar biasa, ternyata hidup di Jakarta, ternyata penuh strategi juga yah..wakakaka

Demo Kenaikan BBM 2008

Kompor mbledug!!!

Ikan asin gosong!!!

Pala pitak kena gledek!!!

Sambel goring kerikil!!!!

Babon bulukan!!!

Hanya berjuta kalimat makian yg bisa gw berikan untuk aksi2 demonstrasi mahasiswa terhadap kenaikan harga BBM.

Mereka sebenarnya mengatasnamakan siapa sih?Masyarakat?Yang mana?Jika hanya kerusuhan dan aksi anarkis sebagai hasilnya.

Semua fasilitas umum seperti pagar dan lampu jalan yang di hancurkan, dinding2 kota di corat-coret, bakar ban di tengah jalan bikin jalanan jadi macet total. Apa sih yg mereka cari?

Mereka mengaku sebagai warga negara yg selalu menuntut hak-nya, tapi dengan mengabaikan hak warga negara lainnya untuk bisa menikmati rasa aman dan nyaman, akses jalan yg lebih lancar (ditengah kemacetan sehari2). Kami,kami ya KAMI, hak kami diabaikan seolah2 kita tidak mempunyai hak untuk bisa nyaman pulang kerumah ditengah aksi demo mereka. Menyebalkan!!!!!

Saya atau kami sebagai kaum pekerja sudah berupaya melaksanakan kewajiban kami kepada negara yaitu dengan membayar pajak (pajak penghasilan, PBB dll). Kami berhak untuk menikmati fasilitas umum yg tersedia, tapi apa yg terjadi sepanjang aksi demo mereka?Orang2 yg selalu merasa dirinya benar!Orang2 yg selalu mengedepankan hak mereka ketimbang hak orang lain, apalagi mengedepankan kewajiban mereka. Tidak!!Orang2 ini sangat menyebalkan.Sangat menyebalkan.

SAP Time Constraint in HR Infotypes

Time Constraint Value

1 = Record must have no gaps, no overlappings
2 = Record may include gaps, no overlappings
3 = Record may include gaps, can exist more than once
A = Infotype exists just once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999
B = IT exists for maximum of once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999
T = Time constraint is based on subtype or subtype table
Z = Time constraint for time management infotypes -> T554Y

Time Constraint Definition
A time constraint indicates whether more than one infotype record may be available at one time. The following time constraint indicators are permissible:

1 = An infotype record must be available at all times. This record may have no time gaps. You may not delete the record last stored on the database because all records of this infotype would otherwise be deleted.
2 = Only one record may be available at one time, but time gaps are permitted.
3 = Any number of records may be valid at one time, and time gaps are permitted.

Other possible time constraint indicators are as follows:

A = Only one record may ever exist for this infotype. It is valid from 01/01/1800 to 12/31/9999. Splitting is not permissible.
View V_T582B Infotypes Which are Created Automically controls whether the system automatically creates the infotype record for an employee hiring or an applicant data entry action.
Infotypes with time constraintA may not be deleted.

B = Only one record may ever exist for this infotype. It is valid from 01/01/1800 to 12/31/9999. Splitting is not permissible.
Infotypes with time constraint B may be deleted.

T = The time constraint varies depending on the subtype.
Z: Refers to time management infotypes. The time constraint for these infotypes depends on the time constraint class defined in view V_T554S_I Absence: General Control. Collision checks are defined in view V_T554Y Time Constraint Reaction.

SAP PY-ID:Off-Cycle Payroll in the beginning of Tax Year (2)

A question from Suguna and the answer (Link: Initial Issues)

Dear Harry
“By referring to the issue, the end result will be a small amount of Tax deduction (pph21) in off-cycle pay result while then the rest would be brought forward into the next Regular Pay Run, in the same period, to recalculate the actual Tax deduction. The affect is that the employee salary in the next regular pay run could be less and/or becoming negative cause by the tax deduction.”

The above also happens in other situations such as this one below.

We have run regular payroll in 20th May, and we follow that with an off-cycle (Bonus) in May 26th. The employee has a transfer action on 1st May.

In this case, the tax is small in off-cycle pay result, while then the rest is eventually recovered in the following periods. In this case the employee is transferred for the 1st of the month. The Off-cycle is not in January, but in May.

Have you come across this type of situation.
Will SAP solve this issue, do you know.

And the Answer

Hi Suguna,
In what payroll country you’re dealing with?Me, for Indonesian Payroll (PY-ID).
In PY-ID, because Indonesia is using annualized method in their income tax calculation (PPh21) then actually there’re some factors that SAP use to calculate the income tax.

Apaa…???!! GPS MIO C320…!!! Kenapa…???

Interaksi saya dengan peta GPS, dimulai dengan kepindahan saya ke Jakarta. Kota yang sangat menyeramkan bagi pendatang seperti saya.

Awalnya saya menggunakan receiver GPS RoyalTek dengan koneksi bluetooth ke PDA saya, Dopod 838 Pro. Dengan menggunakan peta MapKing (Jakarta only), OzzyExplorer (Kalibrasi peta Gunther) dan NusaMap (Jawa Bali). mio_gps.jpgAwalnya seiring dengan kebutuhan mobilitas pada saat itu, dirasakan mencukupi. Hanya sedikit repot, misalnya selama di area Jakarta, dari sisi tampilan/GUI, saya lebih milih MapKing, begitu keluar Jakarta, saya terpaksa menggunakan peta NusaMap. Sedangkan Peta OzzyExplorer hanya saya gunakan untuk keperluan pembanding saja.

Kelemahan dengan perangkat GPS via PDA adalah:

  • Layar PDA terbatas, akibatnya tampilan grafik peta berikut atribut keterangannya terlihat kecil apalagi jika di taruh di dash board mobil, bisa membahayakan pengemudi, apalagi di malam hari
  • Batere PDA cepat habis, apalagi terkuras digunakan untuk koneksi bluetooth ke receiver GPS nya. Sehingga utilisasi pemakaiannya tidak lama. Apalagi PDA ini saya gunakan juga sebagai modem untuk koneksi Internet saya via PDA/Laptop yang juga membutuhkan catu daya tidak sedikit
  • Memori PDA yg terbatas untuk menyimpan GPS tracking,routing, POI dsb. Mengingat utilisasi pokok PDA tsb, tidak hanya digunakan untuk GPS dan petanya. Tapi juga digunakan sebagai gadget, mobile office assistant dll

SAP TClass – The Definition

  • TCLAS=A –>Transaction Class for Personnel Administration
  • TCLAS=B–>Transaction class for Recruitment

This transaction class sometimes has confused us as functional consultants. We just need to understand that whenever you write a dynamic action, if you are writing one for PA infotypes that use TCLAS=A and if for Recruitment use TCLAS= B before you begin writing the code for the dynamic action. Let us compare the Personnel Administration infotypes and Recruitment Infotypes.

  • Personnel Administration
  • IT0000 – Personnel Actions
  • IT0001- Organizational Assignment
  • IT0002-Personal Data…and so on
  • Recruitment
  • IT4000- Applicant Actions
  • IT0001- Organizational Assignment
  • IT0002-Personal Data.. and so no
