Hi Aruna,

The HR ABAP differs only from normal abap in terms of Reporting (you may use all the standard abap syntax which you use for any other modules in SAP) as Lot of Function inputs are required from your functional to retrieve and fetch data from HR Tables.

For your information HR has many database tables and you need to fetch data from these tables. Data may be valid partially or wholly depending upon the Dates Specify. It also means that dates play an important role in HR Select Statement.

Hence for easy retrival of data mostly developers use <b>Logical data</b> base to retrive data when in comes to HR. The LDB for HR are PNP and PNPCE and for Org-Management the LDB is PCH. You also use some HR specific statements to retrive data which are called as Macros.

SAP HR is the combination of sub modules for e.g. PA, Payroll, Time, Org-Management, Training and Event Management. Integration plays important roles and fetching data across the modules is again is an art and skill that you learn slowly with time and experience.

Hope this must have given you some idea about HR.
