SAP HR - Maintaining Relationships



In an Organization plan, relationships are used to link different object types.

Example − A person holding a position in an organization is assigned with cost center. It defines a Person to position relationship and position to Organization unit.

While defining a hierarchical organization structure, it means you are creating a relationship between organization objects. When a person is holding a position in an organization unit, it means there is relationship between position object and organization object.

A relationship can be created in both the ways- top down and bottom approach. These relationships are normally maintained in HRP001 table. If these relationships are not standard, you may need additional tables.

To maintain relationship, use T-Code: PP01 or PP03.
