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.

Basic enterprise structure

hi dear sapient,
please explain me
While we are decideing basic enteprise structure form non-sap to sap how can we differentiate that in sap which one we wil take as enterprise structure element e.g comp code-cont area-operating con-profit center-plant etc... but here cost center is not included as element.why?
why we are creating cost element. what is the difference between primary cost element & secondary element. give some example of both
thanks
soraj kumar

Hi soraj,
Cost Element: It is a carrirer of cost. It carries a cost from one cost centre to another cost centre. we can not move the cost to one cost centre to another cost centre without cost element. there are two kinds of cost element in sap
1. PRIMARY cost elements: It is created in FI modue and for primary cost element General ledger must be created first. and the no of cost elemnt and gl account will be same .Example Rent account . suppose Rent GL account no is 111111 and the primary cost element no will be also 111111.Sap defined category for Primary cost element like 1,11, etc
2. SECONDARY Cost elemnt: It is created within the co module. it is used for assessment and distribution. there is no condition for Gl account in case of secondary cost element. suppose if you want to allocate rent expendiure to different department like production and finance then you wll use secondary cost elemnt. sap defined category for secondary cost element like 41,42,43, etc
Thanks

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.
Thanks

Hi,
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.

1205      Branch Office BO Mumbai
1210      BO Pune
1215      BO Delhi
1220      BO Indore
and personal sub area like this-
z001      City Mumbai

Enterprise Structure - country grouping

Hi experts,
i've a doubt on how & where to create the country grouping.
As the sap courses say that country grouping should be defined in a personal area uniquely to company code.
Can any one help sort this out with an example if possible.
Thanks in advance
Rgds
Saravana

Hai,
The country grouping is assigned to a personnel area along with the company code with the follwoing step.
SPRO --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Human Resources Management --> Assignment of Personnel Area to Company Code
Choose the position and give your personnel area, thereby assigning both the company code and the country grouping.
For example, go to the table V_T001 and create a company code and then go to the table T500P and create a personnel area and then take the above path to assgin the personnel area to the company code along with the country grouping.
Thanks and Regards,
Pragna Hari.
