Enterprise Structure in SAP
An enterprise structure is the structure that represents an enterprise in the SAP
ERP system. It is subdivided into various organizational units which, for legal
reasons or business-related reasons, are grouped together.
An enterprise structure defines various levels in an organization. These levels are
placed according to some hierarchy. Each level has some specific functionality
associated with it, which in a combined way describes the working of an
organization. In addition, an enterprise structure defines various organizational
units that are present in an enterprise. The organizational structure in MM
consists of the following organizational levels –
 Client
 Company Code
 Plant
 Storage Location
 Purchasing Organization
 Purchasing Group

The following diagram depicts one such organizational structure that describes
the levels incorporated in an organization. It puts the client at the topmost,
followed by multiple company code, followed by multiple plants, plants having
multiple storage location with their own or centralized purchasing organizations.

Client
A client has the following attributes −
 Client is a commercial organizational unit in R/3 system.
 It has its own set of master data with independent table sets.
 According to hierarchy, a client occupies the highest level in a SAP system.
 Data that is maintained at the client level is valid for all organizational
levels.

Company code
A company code has the following attributes –
 Within client, a company code is an independent accounting unit.
 It is a legal entity that has its own profit, loss and balance statement.
 It is the smallest unit in an organization for which a complete independent
account set can be replicated.

Personnel Area
A Personnel Area is a subdivision of a Company, organized according to
personnel. The Personnel Area could represent different physical locations or
reporting areas.

In SAP HR system, personnel actions are performed for all the Infotypes that
require the data to be entered in HR system. Some common Infotypes that
require a personnel action are hiring a new employee, termination of an
employee, etc.

A personnel area is a specific entity within SAP HR Personnel Administration (PA).


It represents a subdivision of the company code. The individual personnel areas
in a company code consist of a four-digit alphanumeric code. Personnel areas
have the following functions:
 They allow you to generate default values for data entry, including payroll
accounting areas.
 They can be used as selection criterion for reporting
 They can serve as a basis for authorization checks.

Use
Generally in SAP, the personnel area corresponds to an actual workplace site,
whether it is a factory, a research laboratory, a regional or head office, or a
remote sales office. It can also be used to differentiate between different
divisions within a company.
Personnel Subarea

Definition
A personnel subarea is a SAP HR Personnel Administration specific unit and is a
subdivision the of the personnel area. At this level, the organizational control of
pay scale, wage type structures, work schedule and planning take place. The
individual personnel subareas are identified by a four-digit alpha-numeric
identification code.

Use
The main organizational functions of the personnel subarea are as follows:

 Specifying the groupings for SAP HR Time Management, which allows, for
example, work schedules, substitution, absence, and leave types to be set
up on a personnel subarea specific basis.
 The personnel subarea can serve as a selection criterion for reporting.
 With personnel subareas, you can generate default values for pay scale
types and areas for an employee’s basic pay.
 You can specify holiday calendars based on personnel subareas.
 With personnel subareas, you can define specific wage types per personnel
areas.
 Personnel subareas can be represented as legal entity for accounting
purposes.
 In general, the personnel subarea refers to an area in a workplace, in which
a group of people work under similar conditions of employment. For
example, within head office, most people will work a standard eight-hour
day five days week. Therefore, the entire head office is classified under one
personnel subarea.
