Changes in HR Terminology
Description
Up to and including Release 2.2, in Personnel Administration, the organizational unit "plant section" represented a subdivision of logistic plants. As a result, users of the Human Resources System had to customize their organizational structure to that of Logistics.
As of Release 3.0, the structure plant/plant section has been replaced by personnel area/personnel subarea. Using personnel areas/personnel subareas, users can arrange the organizational structure to suit the specific personnel needs of their enterprise.
Users who want to keep their former structure can set up personnel areas similar to the former plants.
By implementing personnel areas, it is much easier to establish a link to company codes. A personnel area is allocated directly to a company code (just to remind you: a plant is assigned to a material valuation area which in turn is assigned to a company code).
Furthermore, an extensive renaming of terms of HR terminology was carried out.

System administration changes
Default values for personnel areas are based on the user parameter PBR. Make sure that your user master data has been maintained accordingly.
Change system parameters in customizing
The personnel areas to be used are defined in table T500P.
On release upgrade, the system automatically transfers all the personnel areas
(formerly: plants) stored in table T001P to table T500P. Default values for
the name and address of the personnel area are drawn from the identical plant
in table T001W, the corresponding company code is determined likewise.
The settings can be maintained in the chapter
'Create personnel area' of the Implementation Guide.
