Clusters are used in HR to store data specifically Payroll Time and Audit data.

PCL2 - payroll data.

Within this cluster you will have RU, RG RD etc which equate to different contries for example

RG --> GB

RU --> US

RD --> Germany

The next level down in the cluster is CRT, RT, WPBP etc which hold the physical data for each period of the payroll.

PCL4 - Audit data,

This one is a little easier, there are 4 types of records SA,SB, LA & LB. Short Emp/Short Applicants etc.

Both these tables use a header record to get a the detail data.

Hi Pavan,

Database tables of type PCLn are divided into subareas known as data clusters.

Data clusters can be identified by their two-character IDs.

The respective subareas within Human Resources work on their own cluster.

A separate data key is defined for each subarea.

The PCLn database tables are a type of import/export database table.

Cluster table PCL1:

PCL1 contains the following data areas

B1 Time events/PDC

G1 Group incentive wages

L1 Individual incentive wages

PC Personal calendar

TE Trip costs/accounting results

TC Trip costs/credit card data

TX Infotype texts

Z1 Interface PDC -> cost accounting/materials management

This table is maily used for retrieving data from the following data areas:
