The SAP HR module enables customers to effectively manage information about the people in their organization, and to integrate that information with ''other SAP modules'' and external systems. From the Organization Management perspective, companies can
-model a business hierarchy,
-the relationships of employees to various business units
-the reporting structure among employees.
- helps employers to track employee master data,
-work schedules,
-salary and benefits information.
- functionality focuses on employees' skills, qualifications and career plans
- process attendance and absences, gross salary and tax calculations, and payments to employees and third-party vendors.
Consistent with the overall integration of SAP R/3, the HR module shares information with other modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), Production Planning and Business Workflow. The Payroll processes use Accounts Payable functions to print checks, manage payment and bank information, and process payments to tax authorities and other third-party vendors. Payroll results are also posted to General Ledger accounts for use in periodic income and expense reporting. For management accounting, information regarding employment costs can be transferred to Cost Centers with in the CO module. Employees can be assigned to Work Centers, which are used in conjunction with Production Planning. Assigned positions and reporting relationships from PD are used in Business Workflow to route purchase requisitions and other documents for approval. HR works with external systems either through certified interfaces with SAP partner products, or custom developed interfaces to customer defined systems.

One can assign an organizational unit, job, position, person (employee) or user a task in order to describe their function in an enterprise. A task which you assign represents a characteristic of an object.
What is an Org's assignment and Org'l Plan, what is the difference between them?
Plan versions are scenarios in which one creates organizational plans.
In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version. Organizational assignment is assigning the persons i.e., employees to certain position according to organizational structure and plan.
How many structures are there in OM?
In the SAP System one can use several structures to represent the legal and organizational structure of your company. You can structure from the point of view of accounting, materials management, and sales and distribution. It is possible to combine these structures. The organizational structures form a framework in which all business transactions can be processed

What is the difference between Simple Maintenance and Detailed Maintenance? and which one you used in your project?
Simple Maintenance in Expert Mode is one of the methods you can use to develop and model organizational plans in the component Organizational Management with speed and efficiency. Besides mapping your current organizational and reporting structure, Simple Maintenance gives you flexible tools to plan and model future structural changes well in advance. SAP Business Workflow users do not need all the functions available in Organizational Management. For this reason, the original concept behind Simple Maintenance was to provide a tool that allows users to build and maintain organizational plans, with speed and simplicity. For Organizational Management users, Simple Maintenance is best used to establish the basic framework in organizational plan development.
Simple Maintenance uses a tree structure, which allows you to create a basic framework for organizational plans, using streamlined procedures. In this way, one can create ones organizational and reporting structures step by step.

Evaluation paths are created in organizational management Customizing under basic settings. One or more relationships form the navigation paths for an evaluation. These enable us to report on and display structural information, for example, organizational structure or the reporting structure. We can create alphanumeric evaluation paths with a maximum of 8 characters starting with Z.

Well an infotype in short is a "type of information". It is a set of logical data grouped according to subject matter, eg. Addresses (organization assignment, personal data, addresses, planned working time, basic pay, bank details, etc.) infotype, contains name, first name, Address for correspondence, Permanent address, city ......so on. There are over 5000 infotypes exists. The infotypes can be created, changed, copy, delimit, deleted..
We can create infotypes using the following path:
Org Mgt->expert mode->(Object) The Maintain(object) screen appears
In plan version and object fields enter data as required
In the infotype field , select the infotype you want to create
Using the tab pages select the status the new infotype record

Explain the uses of the simple maintenance interface?
Simple Maintenance is used when Staff assignments and reporting structure are to be changed. There are three main areas in Simple Maintenance. Each area contains particular maintenance functions, depending on whether you want to edit organizational structure, staff assignments or task profiles. For Organizational Management users, Simple Maintenance is best used to establish the basic framework in organizational plan development. For complete, detailed editing of individual organizational objects in your organizational plan (editing particular positions or organizational units, for example), we recommend that you switch to Info-type Maintenance. Simple maintenance uses a tree structure, which allows you to create a basic framework for organizational plans, using streamlined procedures. In this way, we can create an organizational and reporting structures step by step.
What is the use of INFOGROUPS?
The infotype group (commonly known as infogroup) guarantees that during the personnel action, all information needed for the business processes is stored. The infogroup is processed when you perform a personnel action.
- An infogroup exists in the standard system for every personnel action type.
- In Customizing for Personnel Administration, you can tailor the make-up of the various infogroups to the requirements of your company.
- You can define infogroups as user-group dependent.
Infogroups are used in Personnel Actions to define a set of sequencial infotypes that you would be using while performing an action. For example, when you hire, you would want to use IT0000,0001,0002,0006,0007,0008 etc in a sequence- in a particular order. So define an Infogroup for this purpose which contains all these infotypes, their order of execution and the user groups it is applicable for. Then you assign this infogroup to the action that you had defined.
What is PROCESSING CLASS, where we do them and why?
Wage type characteristic that determines how processing is conducted during the payroll run.
What is EVALUATION PATH, where do we do it and why?
A chain of relationships between objects in a hierarchical structure.

What is INTERNAL PAYROLL PROCESS?
Payroll process(program) is run at a specific point in time, not only to calculate an employee’s basic remuneration but also any special payments, overtime payments or bonuses that must be effected for the period in question.
