2. <b>Record for HR Master Data: Control Field</b>: which contains the Control data. with reserved fields, and texts.

3. <b>Record for HR Master Data: IT(NNNN):</b> which contains the Infotype number which stores the actual data.

But heard that is a combination of

1. <b>Enterprise Structure</b>: (Client, company code, Personal Area, Personal Sub area)

2. <b>PA Structure</b> (Employee group, Employee Sub Group and Payroll area)

3. <b>OM Structure</b>(Organization Unit, Job, Position)
