Outlining the OM Data Model

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to outline the OM data model to enable consistent data creation.

OM Data Model

The OM data model for Personnel Planning defines all the object types in table T778O. Each organizational object is restricted by the allowed relationships of its object type.

You can use object-oriented design like building blocks to depict your organizational plan in the system with the common object types and their relationships. Sometimes, however, if the standard delivered system is not sufficient to meet the business requirements of an organization, you can enhance the existing data model.

Personnel Planning Customizing Tables

The following table illustrates some of the Customizing tables that are used for Personnel Planning:
