Enterprise structure in SAP SRM

Hi,
I am new to SAP SRM. I would like to know where do we set the enterprise structure (Creating & assigning organisational elements like Company code, Plants, Purchase Organisation & so on) in SAP SRM like the way we do in R/3?
I tried searching in SRM Wiki, but couldn't locate. Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Murthy

Use PPOMA_BBP for creation of or structure, assignment of attributes etc....
Use BBPGETVD for vendor master replication
Use R3AS for material master replication
use FM for location(plant) replication
thanks and regards

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.

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for responding. Yes, all the backend config are in place since I am able to successfully run an equivalent RFC (BBP_PD_SC_GETLIST) and another RFC named BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL from SE37. The problem seems to be something very specific to the ES. May I request you to run this ES at your end (if possible) and let me know the result possibly with the input and output message similar to the one I pasted in the origincal question.
Thanks in advance,
Nilay

Purchase Org Structure in SAP SRM 7.0

Hello SRM Gurus!
We are trying to build Purchase org structure. here is scenario. Cost center driven Model
- 1 V.P. is responsible to 5 cost centers
- 1 Director works with min 2 V.P. i.e 2 cost centers OR 1 VP/cost center will have 5 director
- 1 Manager works with 2 directors - 2 cost centers OR 1 Director will have 10 Managers
- 1 requestors works with 3 Managers - 3 cost centers OR 1 Manager will have 10 requester.
ECC org structure :
1 company code will have 3 plants & 1 Purc Org
Can I get some input in Building the Purchase Org structure.
Regards
Mangesh

Hi Masa,
Thanks!
So you mean one company code will have one Pur. Org.
Every Plant will have 3 pur groups.
As I told there are 150 cost centers. Each VP will have min. 15 max .. 60 cost centers with him ...controlled by him.
Should I assign users by plant, Pur group or all under one Company OR cost center wise.
Pl. suggest

Mangesh

Portal Runtime Error while performing User Mapping to SAP SRM

See the details for the exception ID in the log file

Hi,
yes, Karsten is correct. Just some background:
"User Mapping not fully available.." finally means that user mapping is configured to use strong encryption, but the main crypto key for user mapping is missing. Usually, that's because "SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit" and/or "JCE policy files for unlimited strength encryption" are not installed (or the server hasn't be restarted afterwards). The note will most likely help

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.

Hi 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.

Do we need a SAP PI system to use SAP SRM enterprise services?

Hi,
I am working in a project where we need to use some enterprise services like ([Maintain Purchase Request|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/MaintainPurchaseRequest]) for SAP SRM 7.x. We have an ECC 6 system also in the landscape but the middleware is a non-SAP one. My question is that to be able to use the SRM and Enterprise Services, do we need SAP PI or SAP CE in place. Any help or useful clue/pointers is appreciated.

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.

SAP SRM - Purchasing Org Structure

Hi,
Pls can anybody let me know, how do we assign a user as a buyer to more than one purchasing group.
I had used to the attribute "Is Purchaser of" to assign the position of the user to one purchasing group. but
I could not assign to more than one purchasing group. Even If I do the assignment , system deletes the old assignment.
We have HR integartion of employees into the SRM Org, So I cannot assign a user under the purchasing group through staff assignment view.
Right now we are controlling through authrizations, though which during sourcing, shopping carts pertaining to the purchasing group alone is getting displayed. But this has limitations, during direct pruchaser order creation, the default attributes are that of the user and not of the purchasing group.
Hope I had conveyed the issue, pls help me on the solutioning part..
Regards
harish

Hi Mei,
Thanks for the answers,
As you say, I think we need to have doc change badi implemented for PO to determine the right attributes.
But the point is, if the same user happens to be a purchaser of two P.Organizations
say germany and US, the attributes right from currency till locations and everything vary.
For this I thought of creating 2 additionals positions apart from the base position of the user and use "Is purchaser of" attribute to assign those positions under the respective purchasing organization.
Pls confirm If my thinking and approach are the right , as I am not too sure about it.
And why SAP SRM has not provided the functionailty as standard as these sought of scenario's are so common.

Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

Hello all,
I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
I have 4 approval levels.
I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
Please let me know.
Regards,
Yayati Ekbote

Hi Adrian,
Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist, However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table. If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct? R/3 connector?

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 Das

Hi,
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.
