SAP Enterprise Structure for Plant Maintenance Module
hi,
please explain me SAP Enterprise Structure for Plant maintenance (PM) module.Hi,
As SAP PM enterprise structure comprises of Company, Maintenance Planning plant & Maintenance Plant. Company will be defined in Financial Accounting. Production plant will be the maintenance plant. Seperate plant would be created as Maintenance Planning Plant. All the plants (Maintenance Planning plant & Maintenance Plant) should be assigned to the company. All the maintenance plants should be assigned to Maintenance Planning Plant. For all the Maintenance Plants, technical objects would be created.
Company --> Maintenance Planning Plant --> Maintenance Plant.
Relation between Maintenance Planning Plant & Maintenance Plant will be 1:1 or 1:n or n:1.

Overall Enterprise and MM enterprise structure ??
hii experts
Can some body explain me about the overall enterprise structure and MM enterprise structure in SAP.
Explain me with some enterprise structure example in SAP.
Explanation without link will be appreciable.
ThanksHi,
SAP enterprise structure is organizational structure that represents an enterprise in SAP R/3 system. It consists of some organizational units which, for legal reasons or for other specific business-related reasons or purposes, are grouped together. Organizational units include legal company entities, sales offices, profit centers, etc. Organizational units handle specific business functions.
Organizational units may be assigned to a single module (such as a sales organization assigned to Sales and Distribution (SD) module, or to several modules (such as a plant assigned to Materials Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) module).
SAP R/3 system can represent a complex enterprise structure. Its flexibility can integrate the structure of an enterprise by linking its organizational unit. Enterprise structure design is a fundamental process in a SAP implementation project. The design is mainly determined by the business scenarios performed in an enterprise. Once the design is determined, it will affect many things such as how to perform a transaction and generate reports on SAP system. Although itu2019s possible, it requires great effort to change the enterprise structure. So , we must ensure that the enterprise structure designed in the SAP implementation project can accommodate all business scenarios and enterpriseu2019s requirements for current and future situation.
A Client is the highest-level element of all organizational units in SAP R/3 system. The client can be an enterprise group with several subsidiaries. An SAP client has its own master data (Data which is used long-term in the R/3 System for several business processes such as customers, materials, and vendors master data). In SAP, a client is represented by a unique 3-digit number.
A Company Code is a unit included in the balance sheet of a legally-independent enterprise. Balance sheets and Profit and Loss statements, required by law, are created at company code level. The Company Code is the smallest organizational unit for which we can have an independent accounting department within external accounting, for example, a company within a corporate group (client). In SAP, a company code is represented by a unique 4-digit alpha-numeric for a specific client. It is the central organizational element of Financial Accounting. At least there is one company code in a client. We can set up several company codes in one client in order to manage various separate legal entities simultaneously, each with their own balanced set of financial books. Besides company code, in FICO module there is also another important organizational unit which is Controlling Area. The Controlling Area is the business unit where Cost Accounting is carried out. Usually there is a 1:1 relationship between the controlling area and the company code. For the purpose of company-wide cost accounting, one controlling area can handle cost accounting for several company codes in one enterprise.
A plant is the place of production or simply a collection of several locations of material stocks in close physical proximity. A plant is represented by a unique 4-digit alpha-numeric for a specific client. Plant is used in Material Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), and Plant Maintenance (PM) module. A plant is assigned to one company code.
A Storage Location is a storage area comprising warehouses in close proximity. A Storage Location is represented by a unique 4-digit alpha-numeric for a specific plant. Material stocks can be differentiated within one plant according to storage location (inventory management). Storage locations are always created for a plant.

priya desaiHi Priya,
The Enterprise Structure represents the structure of a company according to personnel administrative, time management and payroll perspectives. The company structure describes elements of the company and there dependencies.
The 'Organizational Units' in SAP, are the elements or structures representing the business functions, and are used in reporting. for example, Client (across the various modules), Company Code (FI), Controlling area (CO), Plant (logistics), sales organization (SD), Purchasing organization (MM), Employee Group (HR) etc.
Thanks

Enterprise Structure in SAP PP
Can anybody suggest me about suggested enterprise structure in PP. In other way what should be minimum organisational structure needed to run PP objectives. Is it same as MM or different?
Hi Kumar
As far as PP in SAP R/3 is concerened.
We create only one enterprise structure that is MRP Area. This will be of three types, one is plant MRP area same as plant . another is storage location MRP area and other is Subcontract MRP area.
We use all other enterprise structure created by MM and FICO
but we have to maintain certain parameter for the structure created by MM and FICO. Ex Plant parameter.
All others like MRP group,MRP controller, Schedule margin key etc., are not enterprise structures.

Enterprise Structure for SAP 6.0 for Holding Subsidiary Consolidation
Dear All,
Please guide me on how the enterprise structure should be made for the following holding and subsidiary consolidation.
Company A (Business Group)
Company B (100% subsidiary of Company A)
Company C (74% subsidiary of Company A)
Company D (100% subsidiary of Company B)
Company E (51% subsidiary of Company B)
Company F ( 100% subsidiary of Company C)
Company G (50:50 JV Between Company F and some other company outside the group)
Company H (50:50 JV Between Company D and some other company outside the group)
All the above companies are separate legal entities and need separate financial statements for external reporting.Consolidated Financial sattements needs to be drawn not only for the group but also for each holding compony and JV as per the requirements of accounting standards.You need to define each legal entity as a Compnay code.
You need to create all these as Companies also.
The detailed share holding pattern is important only at the time of consolidation and at the time of consolidating investments. -
Plant adress change in enterprise structure .
Hi All,
During print preview of purchase order in delivery address only plant name is coming which it is taking from the delivery address maintained in Item detail of PO .This address is fetched from the plant address maintained in SPRO-> enterprise structure-> logistics general ->
define,copy,delete,check plant ->define plant .So if I change the address now in denelopment and transport it to production will that be any harm to the system .Why I am asking this question is ,I heard enterprise structure is very critical portion ,so we should not touch it after 4 months of SAP running in a plant .
Anybody who is 100% sure reply .
Regards
Abhijit DasHi,
It is correct that you should not hamper the Enterprise Structure in a Production Environment. But if it is regarding deletion of any Organisational Element or assignment of Organisational Element or removing the assignment of any Organisational Element, etc...
If it is regarding Plant Address change then it is OK, you can do it. -
Dear friends,
Iam Implimenting SAP.
Company gets order from customer for setting up power plant, Our client manufactures all the connected mat like turbines,switch gear,compressors ,,etc.
These are manufactured at each unit respectively in same compound.Each unit is having raw material store,finished stor,semi finshed store,
there are 2 common material stores used by all the units, each store is having raw material stores/returns stores,dispatch stores,finished stores,cut to sizes shop where all material is cut to sizes.This cut to size is also within the store.
How to map this scenario as enterprise structure.
How cut to store in Store is mapped.whether stores like return stores,semifinished stores,raw material ,dispacth store all are defined as stores.These common stores are to defined under which plant.
Whether the intermediatory store is also defined as one store.each plant materials is procured by one pur org.and common stores materials are procured by 3 other purchase organisations.
How to define enterprise structure.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Cheruku.Dayanandif ur plant is using the material which is procured by many organizations then i think u need to go through the funda of reference purh. org. and standard pur. org
that is if ur plant is assigned to no. of org. then u have to assign some of them to ur plant and assign 1 of them as standard org
and if some head office or centralized org. is also involved in procurement for plant then assign that one as refrence org. for u r plant level org.
and i belive u need to look from wherehouse management point of view because in mm u only have storage location but if go in depth then go for wherehouse management

Mapping of enterprise structure
Dear Experts,
Right now i am doing implementation project in aluminium metal plant.Now we are in the 2nd phase of the project.So i have to map the enterprise structure of the plant.
There are main 5 departments in the plant GAP,BAKE OVEN,RODDING,POTROOM,CASTING.Here all the departments finished products are interrelated,like GAP finished goods will go to BAKE OVEN. BAKE OVEN finished goods will go to RODDING.RODDING finihed goods will move to POTROOM.POTROOM molten metal will move to CASTHOUSE,and finally metal from CASTHOUSE will go to customers.
So here how can i map this scenario, like i have to create 5 plants for 5 departments or 5 sections?
Regards,
PrashanthaGreetings Prashantha,
You need to approach this from a functional perspective. Define what is the Plant in SAP. A Plant is a location, which has an address, a language, time zone etc. and for this Plant the maintenance is planned as a whole on some level. Many configurations in PM are done on Plant level. Also, note that the Material Master data is maintained on Plant level.
So taking this all into account, consider whether those elements are different for the 5 Departments you mention? I would venture a guess "no". Your departments will have distinct Functional Location hierarchy branches, distinct Planner Groups, their own Work Centres, perhaps their own Storage Locations, but I assume they will have the same processes, the same Company Code, the same high-level Maintenance Planning Plant, the same Order Types. So it is probably reasonable to use Plant Sections, Planner Groups etc. to differentiate below the Plant level.
But of course, this is dependent on your business and how it is organised. -

Parul.Hi Parul,
You can keep your enterprise structure as follows:
Company Code: ABC Limited
Personal Area: ABC Limited
Personal Subarea: ABC, Hyderabad
As suggested by you, in future we may have different branches for ABC India, which can be added in Personal Subareas.
IT, Herbal and Pharma, Biotech, Chem and Research- these can become the part of your organisational structure, since these all units belongs to ABC, H'bad.
Hope this help.
Thanks & Regards,

So my question how to design logistic enterprise structure for construction business" and how to integrate these with PS
Edited by: Raghavendra Balegar on Jul 2, 2009 6:29 AMDear
1) Each project you can consider as a plant ( where u can valuate the stock at plant level),
2) and difeerent storage locations under plants depends on your material types like ROH,HALB,ERSA,FERT...ect
3)purchase organisations like if have a contracts create one referance pur.org and if require create one more pur.org at local purchases
4)PS consultant has to create each project as WBS element ,under WBS element networks, under networs activities
5) PS-MM integration
When ever Project people requires material as per their planning, they required to accocate the material to particulat activity say if they want cement they need to allocate cement to particulat activity ,
system intern will raise PR at activity level and reservation at newwork level ( item categoty should be L in PS)
base on the PR , purchasing people can create RFQ or PO ,GR,IR Like MM standard Procedure (PR account assignment will be Q orP)
based on the resevation GI will be done (m.type 281 Q)
