• Key Concepts: 
  Function tree is a feature of the Personnel Management (PA) component of SAP. It is a hierarchical structure that allows users to organize and access functions related to personnel management. It is composed of nodes, which are the individual functions, and branches, which are the connections between nodes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Function tree can be accessed from the Personnel Management menu in SAP. Once in the function tree, users can navigate through the nodes and branches to find the functions they need. They can also create new nodes and branches to customize the structure of the tree. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating new nodes and branches in the function tree, it is important to consider how they will be used by other users. Nodes should be labeled clearly and logically so that they are easy to find and understand. Branches should be organized in a way that makes sense for the user’s workflow.
