Agency Business - Organizational structures

Hello colleagues,
I am on a project where Agency Business is going to be used and olfks from that team are having one difficulty:
In the Payment Type activity in Customizing for Agency Business, you define whether the organizational structures of Purchasing and Sales and Distribution are to be used for settlement or whether company code level is to be used instead
Can you please let me know whether this configuration can be changed once documents have already been posted? If we initially do configuration such that the company code level is used for settlement can it changed at the time of the Logistics implementation to use settlement at the Purchasing/SD org structure level?
Thanks in advance

Organization Structure for Petro-oil business

Hi experts,
I'm a new consultant, and I'm implementing for a Oil & Gas Project. I want to ask you a recommendation about the solution for Organization structure.
This business sell some kind of good:
1) Hydro: mogas, diezel, mazut, kerosense...
2) Non-Hydro: cement, Iron, gas, lubricant...
I should use two org. structure for each kind, or just unique structure. Because each kind is controlled a different method, so I suggest use two org. structure, but its difficult for reporting.
Plz help me.

Hi Kumar,
Sorry for late response: but the answer is no, only one structure for each country.

Problems assigning BP to a position in the organizational structure

I tried to assign a bp to a position in the organizational structure,
but I receive this message "Object cannot be assigned to object CliC
Agent in the period 21.12.2006 - 31.12.9999".
Also, I notice that in the screen, the checkbox where i can select for
the business partner is missing.
However, I can assign a user to the org structure.
Before upgrading, it was working. This is the support packages that it was in.
SAP_ABAP: Level 9
SAP_BASIS: Level 9
PI_BASIS: Level 9
SAP_AP: Level 6
BBPCRM: Level 6
After the upgrade to the following,
SAP_ABAP: Level 10
SAP_BASIS: Level 10
PI_BASIS: Level 10
SAP_AP: Level 7
BBPCRM: Level 7
The assigning of business partner to a position no longer works.

Hi,
we're facing exactly the same problem, it was all going well until we went on production.... we applied note 997009 which results in a different error... did you manage to find a solution yet ?

Organizational Units and Basic Settings
Definition
Elements of the SAP System logical structure, important for Financial Accounting.
Organizational units are used to structure business functions and for reporting. The organizational units of Financial Accounting are used for external reporting purposes, that is, they fulfil requirements that your business is subject to from external parties, for example, legal regulations. The financial statements for example, are created based on the organizational units of Financial Accounting.
Basic settings in Financial Accounting are Customizing settings that you have to make in order to be able to carry out processes in Financial Accounting.
Use
You create your company-specific organizational structure in the SAP System by defining the organizational units and making the basic settings. Defining organizational units for Financial Accounting is obligatory, that is, you have to define these units in order to be able to implement the Financial Accounting component.

Integration
In the SAP System, you define the relevant organizational units for each component that you are implementing. For example, for Sales and Distribution, you define sales organizations, distribution channels, and divisions (product groups). Similarly, for Purchasing, you define purchasing organizations, evaluation levels, plants, and storage locations. The organizational units are independent of one another at this stage.
Components and Organizational Units

Controlling
Controlling area, ...
Human Resources
Employee groups, ...
To transfer data between the individual components, you have to assign the organizational units to each other. You only need to make these assignments once in the system. Whenever you enter data subsequently, it is automatically transferred.
For example, invoices that are posted in SD are transferred to FI.

Help in defining organization structure with reference to new gl

Hi Experts,
I need some help in defining organization structure with reference to new GL. I have three legal entities spread across 17 locations. In each location there may be three legal company entities in operation. And in each company code there are 5 to 6 several product lines. I have defined 3 legal entities as 3 company codes, but my concern is how do i define these 17 locations as and how do i define these product lines. We do location wise reporting meaning if i take one location i draw P&L for all the 15 product lines of the combined 3 company codes. Like wise for we do individual location wise reporting. As ususal we do budgeting location wise for departments for each individual company code.
I thought of using business area as locations, but i heard SAP doesnt support anymore on business due to new gl concept and moreover business area doesnt populate in all transactions. Can we use new gl concept like segments and so, i am sorry i am very new to New gl. Can the location wise combined reporting be done in consolidation or it can achieved in new gl
Can somebody share their expertise on how to achieve this either my new gl or traditional gl.
Thanks in advance

Hi there
Your question doesn't seem to have anything to do with OO ABAP.
I suggest you post this question in a more appropriate forum.
This Forum is for OO Abap.
Your question is much more likely to get answered if posted to the correct forum.
Not trying to be the proverbial "Grade A" but routing your posts to the most appropriate Forum will benefit everyone including you a lot.

Organizational structure creation

[Organizational Structure creation using HRMD_ABA;
Appologies if you saw this message on Friday, because I did originally post it under the general area. I was hoping that if I re-posted it under this area I might get a few more responses. I have included the one response I got, plus my reponse, which does contain more detail about how I ran PFAL - program RHALEINI, and re poses the question about what needs to be created in SRM re an organisational structure, prior to doing an initial load using transaction PFAL.
Many Thanks
Claire
I am trying to set up the organizational structure in our SRM 7.0 system using our ECC 6 organizational structure. I have created all the required distribution models for SRM and ECC 6, and have set up the switch settings in SRM. The number range settings have been set to external.
As per OSS Note 36317, which concentrates on the initial distribution, and I am working through, I have run PFAL in ECC 6 only for object type O. The HRMD_ABA idocs have been successfully transferred to our SRM system, but all are at status 52.
The message for all the idoc segments is:
'You tried to create a relationship from object 01O 50000333 to object 01S 50000846. However, object 01S 50000846 does not exist or is not active in the period from 19000101 to 99991231'.
One thing I haven't done, which might be incorrect, is create an Organizational Plan in SRM. I specifically haven't done this because I am wanting to use external numbering, and therefore thought the organizational plan would get automatically created as part of the initial distribution.
Does any one have any idea how to resolve my problem?
Many Thanks
Claire

Hello Claire,
It looks like you are replicating "S". After the "O" replication you should run the "S".
Please refer to the OSS note 934372 u201CSRM/CRM: HR integration for business partner u2013 new featuresu201D & SAP Note # 550055 EBP/SRM: New integration for business partner as well.
Hope this is helpful.

Posted: Aug 21, 2009 6:53 PM    in response to: ASHUTOSH TRIPATHI     Edit          Reply
Hi Ashutosh
I intend to replicate 'S', as described in the note, but nothing has been created with my initial replication of 'O'. As per the note 363187 you are supposed to distribute type 'O' first before moving on to 'S'. Is there anything really fundamental I have missed that you are supposed to do in SRM either before or after the initial set of idocs for type 'O' are brought in?
I have also read the other 2 notes you mention.
Note 363187 stated:
'Perform the following steps in the sequence given if the target system is a
mySAP.com system (SEM, CRM, BBP/EBP):
1. If you want to use the change pointers for later changes, activate
them at once. During initial transport, you should not maintain the
data in parallel in HR because the distribution takes the blocking
mechanism into account, which can cause an incomplete initial
transport.
2. All objects of object type O are distributed with program RHALEINI. As
a transfer mode, the update mode with infotype 1000 selection should
be used.
This way you make sure that all objects of object type O are created
in the target system for existence checks.
3. As previous step but for object type C.
4. As previous step but for object type S.
So far all I have tried to do is up to step 2.
When running RHALEINI I have entered the following:
Objects - Object Type = 'O'
Reporting Period - Today is selected
Transfer Mode - Insert is selected, with the Update Mode infotype set to 1000
I did think making a setting under the Update Mode Infotype seemed a little odd, as I was doing an insert, but is this not what point 2 from the OSS Note is telling me to do?
Any thoughts would be really helpful.
Am I supposed to create a skeleton Org structure before pulling in the ECC 6 structure when I am using external numbering?
Thanks
Claire

Organization Structure

Hi,
I am new to SAP and I have some fundamental doubts. I want to know about the organization structure in Controlling module. Do we need to create a Controlling Area for each Company code? How many Operating concerns are to be created if there are four company codes?
Thanks in advance
Raghu

Hi
The designing and creation of a Organization structure in SAP is a very crucial and a critical decision. Once the Organization structure is designed and configured it is extremely difficult to change it. Also note that once transaction data is posted it is difficult to change the organization structure.
The number of Controlling Areas and Operating Concerns does not depend on Company Codes. In designing a Organization structure, we should take a comprehensive and integrated view of all modules like SD/MM/FICO etc. As long as fiscal year variant / Chart of Accounts are same multiple Company Codes can be assigned to one Controlling.
In Controlling Organization Structure, highest level is Operating Concern and under that Controlling Areas are assigned and Company Codes are assigned to Controlling Area.
In most Business Scenarios one Operating Concern and Controlling Area will meet the Business requirements.
Thanks
Murali.

Organization structure of AA

Hi
can any one tell me what is the organization structure of Asset Accounting
Thanx in advance

Hi,
In addition to providing for the management of assets and their values, asset accounting should offer an organizational structure for assets that reflects the organizational structure of the enterprise. For this reason, the FI-AA component uses the various SAP organizational units. An asset is clearly assigned to these organizational units at any given point in time.
In addition, you need to classify assets according to various accounting criteria (such as depreciation methods). This classification assists in management-accounting-oriented tasks, and in the summarization of asset values in the general ledger.
You can assign an asset to a number of organizational units by making entries in the asset master record. These assignments are meaningful primarily in other SAP R/3 applications. However, there are also functions and requirements for Asset Accounting that make it necessary or desirable to make organizational assignments.
Asset Accounting uses the same company codes as the General Ledger. However, you need to define these company codes further with the specifications needed for Asset Accounting. An FI company code is not usable in Asset Accounting until it has been defined in this way.
In order to make a company code usable in Asset Accounting, you have to assign a chart of depreciation to the company code. You do so in Customizing for Asset Accounting. Choose Organizational Structures ® Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company Code.
The business area is another organizational criterion for General Ledger Accounting, in addition to the company code.
Features
If you specify in Customizing for the General Ledger that business area balance sheets should be created for a company code, the system requires that assets be assigned to a business area during master record maintenance. The business area can also be adopted automatically from the cost center that you entered. As long as a fixed asset is assigned to a business area, the system makes account assignment of all postings to this asset to this business area, including depreciation and gain or loss postings on asset retirement.
If you want to assign a fixed asset, which has already been posted, to another business area, you have to transfer the fixed asset to a new asset master record. The posting becomes effective at the same time in the General Ledger. If you do not create business area balance sheets, you can change the business area in the time-dependent assignments in the asset master record.
Use
The meanings of the plant and location organizational units are primarily specified in the SAP R/3 logistics components.
Prerequisites
You maintain plants and locations in Customizing. Choose Enterprise Structure.
Features
Plant
Generally, the plant is a plant location or branch. The plant has no asset accounting relevance, but it can be used as a sort and selection criterion for reports. You can assign a fixed asset to one plant for a set time in its asset master record. By changing the asset master record, you can change the assignment to a different plant.
Location
The location is handled the same as the plant. In addition to a plant, you can make a time-dependent assignment of the asset to a location.
Address
In the Customizing definition of the location, you can also specify an address. Using this method, you can indirectly assign an address to an asset. The comprehensive address data consists mainly of
Street address
PO box
Information for communication (such as telephone number)
Since the address is linked to the location, all assets with the same location must have the same address. You can obtain reports related to the address using a standard report in the FI-AA Information System. You can display the address in the asset master record, on the Time-dependent data tab page.
Use
For internal accounting, you generally need to assign asset costs to cost centers. Therefore, you can assign each asset in Asset Accounting to exactly one cost center. You make this assignment in the asset master record. At the level of the cost center, you can then
Post all depreciation and interest for the asset (see System Settings for Depreciation Posting )
Plan all future depreciation and interest (for primary cost planning, see Primary Cost Planning )
Statistically post gain or loss from the sale of assets (see Additional Account Assignment )
Prerequisites
If you want to use cost accounting across company codes, then you have to set this up in Customizing for Asset Accounting. Choose Master Data->Specify Cost Center Check Across Company Codes.
You define the necessary clearing accounts for this for the different company codes in Customizing for General Ledger Accounting. Choose Business Transactions.
Features: The cost center assignment of a fixed asset can be set to begin on a specific day. If this date changes over the course of time, the system distributes depreciation and interest, according to the appropriate period, to the different cost centers, whereby costs are always allocated to the cost center valid at the end of the depreciation period. The history of the cost center changes can be managed in the system as long as you wish. A cost center can also be assigned to a business area as an asset can. In asset master record maintenance, therefore, the system ensures that the business area of the cost center matches the business area of the asset.
If you assign assets to more than one cost center at the same time, you have to do one of the following:
Distribute the costs within cost accounting using a distribution cost center.
Post depreciation and interest to an internal order and then settle the order
Hope this helps. please assign points.

Could some expert suggest on this ?

Dear Prakash,
In solution manager till EHP1 it is not possible to meet what is ur requirement but you can do the following as an alternative
Project
Master Data
Organization Structure
Business Scenario Std Selected from BPR e.g Service Desk
Business Process std
Business Process Step Std
Business Scenario Non Std Directly entered the name of scenario in Structure tab e.g any Zscenario
Business Process Non std ( you need to add here the process for zscenario)
Business Process Step Non Std ( you need to add here the process step for z*)
But if you very specific to go with 4 main nodes as you said then you need to modify the standard with ABAP Developement and there is no alternative.
Hope it clarifies.

Determination of KM document approvers from ECC Organizational Structure

Hi,
As part of a requirement of my client, I need to determine the approvers of the KM folders automatically from the HR organizational structure that resides in the ECC side.
e.g. I want the document approval process to be started by the approval of my Finance specialist, then go on with the approval of Finance manager he/she is reporting to in the organizational structure and last with the approval of Finance director.
The organizational structure is as follows:
HR Director
|
HR Manager
|
HR Specialist
The scenario mentioned above cannot be solved with roles or groups because the reporting relationship between the specialist and manager is of importance for the approval process.
Please suggest a way to determine approvers from the HR Organizational Structure on the ECC side. This does not have to be a standard solution and can involve some extra coding.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Dilek

Hi SK,
I think it will be a total gross injustice to the robustness that the SAP GTS offers while executing global trade if you opt for asynchronous check for sales order and this is a very rare business case.
If anyhow a check is required for which the SAP GTS system is being used and if it is executed in real time rather than without any delay, then I see no reason to implement your suggestions as such.
But you can opt for asynchronous check by deactivating the functional module which is called when a sales order is saved and which transfers the latest recorded changes to the SAP GTS system.
For your second requirement, I can say if the GTS system has not checked your sales order, then how it can but a block on it instantaneously when the GTS system is up. For this you either need to wait for a while or get some customized code in play for placing a block automatically when a sales order is saved.

Aman

Dilema over Plant / Organization Structure

Hi,
We are a Service Provider Company based in Orissa.
We receive Contracts from other Companies & execute them across India (different Project Sites). We have different Project Site across India.
In SAP, do we need to create all the Project Locations as PLANT.
Or, we can simply create a SINGLE PLANT & treat all the Project Sites Storage Locations.
As of now I have treated all the Site Locations as Plant.
For example, in Jharkhand, we have got two offices, one in Ranchi & another in Dhanbad. The Ranchi Site is taking care of three different projects running near by & Dhanbad Site is taking care of two different rojects. We have created both Ranchi & Dhanbad as Plants.
But while discussing the Organization Structure with our seniors, some one suggested that there is no need to create Project Sites a Plant; the same can be managed using Storage Locations only. They have proposed to create Jharkhand as a Plant; Ranchi & Dhanbad as Storage Locations. The problem with me is that there are different people handling purchase & stock both in Ranchi & Dhanbad.
Also there is some Stock Transfer from Ranchi to some other States (for example, Guwahati & Silchar in Assam).
If we create Jharkhand & Assam as Plants and Ranchi ,Dhanbad, Guwahati & Silchar as Storage Locations, will be logically true.
I am in a dilema as I am not aware of how the Project Systems people map the Plants in SAP. Here in our case, the Project Systems guy is thinking of STATE as Plants while I personally think that Office Locations from where purchase & stock keeing is done as Plants.
I am confused about the process for transfering Materials among the locations (withinn and outside State)
Pls. guide.
Regards
Aditi..

Discuss with your client , How they are handling the procurement in Legacy..
IF you they are using de-centralized Procurement then you need to define the respective procurement centres as Plants.. (Which will allow you to address the taxes & Valuation of Material )
If they are using the sites only for monitoring the stocks & goods movements, then you need to define them as Sto Locations..
It all depends upon the inputs from the client & the Legacy business scenario..
Prepare a Presentation detailings the advantages & dis-advantages of defining as a Plant or Sto location..
First Discuss the same with your colleagues and then with the client..
