The enterprise structure in Personnel Administration consists of the
following:

Client
The client is, in accordance with commercial law, an organizational and data
technical isolated unit within the R/3 System, with separate master records and
its own separate record of tables. A client’s area of jurisdiction can
correspond to a unit as small as a company, or as large as an entire enterprise.

Company code
The company code is the smallest organizational unit of external accounting
in which a complete and isolated financial accounting can be created. All events
that affect the company code and the creation of all statements for a legal
financial statement, for example balances, profit and loss calculation are
contained within the company code organizational units.

Personnel area
The personnel area is an organizational unit; according to a personnel
administrative, time management and payroll organizational point of view, a
personnel area represents a delimited enterprise area. The personnel area is
only used in Personnel Administration and is unique within a client.

Personnel areas are sub-divided into personnel subareas. Organizational data
and guidelines as how to assign it, are stored on a personnel area and personnel
subarea level. The rules and guidelines could be of a legal, pay scale and
collective agreement, or internal nature. A personnel area is assigned to a
company code which has the financial accounting values that are relevant for the
personnel area. A pay scale area, a pay scale type and a public holiday calendar
are precisely defined for a personnel subarea.

The personnel area in a software company can be subdivided into development,
training and administration personnel subareas.

Personnel subarea
The personnel subarea is only used in Personnel Administration. The
groupings linked to the personnel subarea determine which entries from the
subsequent screen are allowed for an employee of a particular company
code/personnel area.

Groupings are used for validation of master and time data. Groupings are also
used to check the plausibility of data that you enter.
