SAP PA20

PA20 is used to DISPLAY HR MASTER DATA.

What is PA20 in SAP?

PA20 is the transaction code used for Display HR Master Data. It allows users to view employee-related information stored in various Infotypes within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.

Key Features of PA20:

  • View Employee Data: PA20 is used to display employee master data, such as personal information, payroll data, organizational assignment, and more. However, it only allows you to view the data, not make any changes.
  • Infotype Selection: Users can select specific Infotypes to display employee information (e.g., Infotype 0002 for personal data, Infotype 0008 for basic pay).
  • Read-Only Access: Unlike PA30 (which is used to maintain or modify HR master data), PA20 provides read-only access.

Common Uses:

  • Viewing employee records without altering them.
  • Checking information related to payroll, benefits, or employment history.

For example, if you need to view an employee’s organizational assignment or payroll details without editing anything, you would use PA20.
