SAP HCM Table Relationships

An interactive reference showing how SAP Human Capital Management tables connect across personnel administration, organizational management, time management and payroll, in both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA (on-premise HCM).

SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) stores employee data in infotype tables (the PAnnnn series, covering personnel administration and time), a separate set of object-and-relationship tables for organizational management (HRPnnnn), and payroll results held in cluster tables. Understanding how these tables join together is essential for building headcount and org-structure reporting, absence and attendance dashboards, basic-pay roll-ups, and payroll-to-FICO reconciliations.

Use the diagram below to explore table relationships visually, or scroll to the quick-reference guide for a complete list of tables, join keys and system compatibility. The on-premise HCM data model is essentially unchanged between SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. SuccessFactors (Employee Central) is a separate cloud product with its own data model and is not covered here.
