For example, i need to kow what "PNP" "PAP" and "PCH" stand for, but i can't find a thing.

there is a small tool called SAP-Terms.

thios tool is maily for translation since it holds translations for common SAP-terms, but well it knows a lot of abbreviations as well

hi,

PNP – HR Master and time data,

PCH – Personnel Development,

PAP – Applicant Master data or other?

Choose Database PNP if you want to create a functional area covering only Human Resources master data and/or time management data.

Choose PCH if you want to create a functional area covering only Human Resources Planning data.

Choose Database PCH, (since this database can refer to Database PNP) if you want to create a functional area covering Human Resources master data and following an organizational structure from Human Resources Planning.

PNP includes infotypes 0000 to 0999 and 2000 to 2999,

PCH includes infotypes 1000 to 1999 and

PAP includes infotypes 4000 – 4005 (as well as some PA infotypes)
