I have a requirement to develop a data model for a client in the SAP HCM space. I am including Org data, Employee Data. In order to ensure I am aligned with SAP Best Practices; I need clarification as to the concept of "Data Model" in SAP HCM space. What are the elements of a HCM data model?

The personnel structure is defined by:

3. The Organizational Plan

The organizational plan contains the following objects:

This was a reply on the question: What I should expect to see in Payroll Data Model? Maybe this was not a question.

Hi Trina,

For payroll, you need-

1. Payroll Area

2. Company Code

3. Work Schedule

4. Net Pay

5. Gross Pay

6. Employee Taxes

7. Net Payments/Deductions

Generally in data model you should not expect to see this all but Payroll area, Work Schedule and company code are required as those are master data elements that data model should record for payroll.

You can also record master data values that you see in WPBP and BT cluster as this will be part of general payroll elements.

For Pers Admin, you need to define-

1. Pers Admins you see in IT1.

Thanks,

Ameet
