How to modify organizational structure for workflow?

Hi,
What is the best practice for modifying the organizational structure for workflow? I know I can do all the changes in development and move it to production via transport system but is that always required.
It seems tedious to transport the org plan from dev to prod every time there is a position change etc.
And it does not allow you to change it in production since the client is locked.
I don't even have all the users I have in production in my dev box so I can't assign the correct ones to positions. Would it mean I have to have the users in the dev box mirror the ones in production?
Thank you,
Sergiy

This answer depends on the HR managment that you have there, if the HR area is a good coordinated area the best answer is to configure the system for automatic transports and pass the HR structures in this way, you can lock some dangerous infotypes in the T77TR tables and be sure that you will not have any trouble with that data. the best thing using this option is to have a specific DEV client to transport the HR structures.
If you will not have any control between the Dev Environment changes and some people will modify in Prod and other people will make transports in a Dev environment, the best option is to open the client and modify the Org structures every time you need it.
Refers to the SAP Press book Practical Workflow, section 5.4.2.

Organization Structure for multiple countries

Hi,
We are setting up GLOBAL support organization. Our support organization includes following countries:
1. China
2. Japan
3. Korea
I am reading the SAP blog from forum. It says that,
"Enter the necessary data in the address tab (City and Country). In the Function Tab, Select Service and Service Organization. In the Attributes Tabs, check for the attribute maintenance Scenario: Service that you have a value in the attribute Country. Be aware that the basic organizational determination process is based on the Country value. This means that all of your business partners should have the same value in this attribute. If you have more than one country then you should create several organizations".
My query is:
In my organization structure, it involves three countries (China, Japan & Korea). I have included all the three countries in a single organization structure. But as per the above statement, should i need to create three organization structure for three countries?
Regards
Kumar

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

Organizational Hierarchy for workflow in PPOMW

Hello,
For my workflow, I'm maintaining an organizational structure in PPOMW and have added positions such as CEO, manager, officer, clerk to that structure. I've also assigned users to each of the above positions. Finally, I've checked the checkbox for CEO as the "Head of the own organizational unit".
Currently, when I use the the FM 'RH_STRUC_GET' passing any of the lower positions such as clerk or officer with 'WEGID' = 'MANAGER', it returns 'CEO' as the manager for any of these positions.
I've moved the manager, officer and clerk "in sequence" using the "move up/down in rank" button. But, how can I assign hierarchies between each of those positions so that clerk reports to officer who reports to manager who reports to CEO?
thanks

Well, I guess normally you would use organizational structures/units for that kind of purpose.
You have org. unit. let's say "the headquarters". The CEO will be the head of this org. unit. His direct employees will also work in the same org. unit and thus report to the CEO. Then under the headquarter you will have other org units. For example Accounting, Production, etc. Clerk officer is the head of accounting org. unit, and he will also report to CEO. But under him there can be other positions who in turn report to clerk officer, etc. Just an example.
But this doesn't actually have anything to do with workflow. You should speak to your HR colleagues, they will know this stuff much better. Or ask from HR forum. After your org. structure is set up, you can perhaps then use it in your workflow to find your approvers, etc.

Karri

Hi,
Please follow the below function modules and the paramters for reading archived data:
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ'
EXPORTING
    OBJECT                   = archiving object name
IMPORTING
   ARCHIVE_HANDLE           = archive read handle
Then in the loop(DO-ENDDO), use this FM:
DO.
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_OBJECT'
       EXPORTING
            archive_handle          = archive read handle
Then records from the data objects using this FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_GET_TABLE'
       EXPORTING
            archive_handle        = archive read handle
            record_structure      = 'TABLENAME'
            all_records_of_object = 'X'
            automatic_conversion = 'X'
       TABLES
            table                 = internal table for which you want to retrieve records.
ENDDO.
Then close the archive file using this FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE'
     EXPORTING
          archive_handle = archive read handle
This will help u in reading archived data from archive file.
may give some idea also on how to code the read prgram.
Thanks,

Sales Organization Structure for Distribution Industry

Hi Experts,
Need some inputs wrt Distribution Industry
1. In Distributor set up. how should we set up the different manufactures which supply the products for distribution.
2. How should we link the manufactures to Products they supply.
3. How should we link the sales representatives to specific manufactures.
4. Would it be a wise decision to incorporate manufactures as a division in the organization structure. Or should we map the manufactures as vendors and maintain the Vendor Info records.
It would be really great if any one can share their experiences wrt to sales organization structure in the Distribution industry especially Pharma Distribution.
Regards,
KK

hi
this is to inform you that:
first of all i have a question to you. you are manufacturer of products that means are you paying excise duty for manufacturing products or only distributor of products.
1. In Distributor set up. how should we set up the different manufactures which supply the products for distribution.
1.a. You can consider if you are manufacturing and distrubuting products
If you are a manufacturer - tae material FERT if you are a distributor - tae HAWA asa material type.
2. How should we link the manufactures to Products they supply.
2.a. the organisation struccture lins each other & MMR also helps to lin
3. How should we link the sales representatives to specific manufactures.
3.a. it may be specific to divisions tae one sales group for each specific divisions.
4. Would it be a wise decision to incorporate manufactures as a division in the organization structure. Or should we map the manufactures as vendors and maintain the Vendor Info records.
4.a. manufacturer as a vendor and different products a divisions.
It would be really great if any one can share their experiences wrt to sales organization structure in the Distribution industry especially Pharma Distribution.
sales organizations : 2 - domestic & exports
distribution channels : 3 - retail - super stocists - C & F agents.
retail/wholesales/distributors/superdistributors/super distributors - all you can consider all into one distribution channel or tae as different distribution channels you have to analyse from reports perspective to have all these.
divisions - products = divisions lie cardiac - orthopedic to name a few.
sales office : you can have many as per your requriment.
sales group : basing on divisions = sales groups
company code = how many balance sheets you are submitting now to AAI that many company codes you have to have.
batch management with FIFO or LIFO strategy has to be mandatory in implementation.

SAP MM Organization structure for the Utilities Industry

Hi,
Please let me know how does the typlical org structutre should look like for the Utilities company.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Material management organizational structure includes
1. Purchasing Organization,
2. Plant,
3. Storage Location &
4. Purchasing Group.
Note:
It depends how you project or design the purchasing group in the organization & purchase group can be created and represent as department .In general, company have many more departments & need to control & approval of all purchasing documents at department level & at the end to know cost incurred in each department with various activities( more then one& each GL represent one activity) .So in turn Purchasing group(department) is linked to cost center and then different G/L accounts which represent various activities linked with the cost center.

Organization structure for Case study .... need yr advice

Hi I am in process of preparing an org structure for one of the company.
The company operations is like .
The company has four factories in different locations and have 3 Regional distribution centers (RDC) across india. Each distribution center has 5 branches (Sales Offices), in this way they 15 Sales offices across India.
Most of the materials are procured by factories independently while some materials are centrally procured. Factories produce Finish goods and they are either sale to customer directly ( big regular customers) , or transferred to RDC to cater the requirements of other MID size customers and the other possibility to transfer it to Branches for Retail customers. RDCs also transfer FG to Branches.
All factories , RDC and branches have warehouse facility , however branches have limited warehouse facility as the customers supported by them are very few and generally deliveries are made directly from RDC / Factory.
They also have one R&D department in another location to develop new products and material is generally transferred from factories to R&D department.They also have one project division at the same (R&D) location which handles commissioning of new plants and procurement of capital goods.
Raw Material , Semi finish and FG are transferred between factories and FG material is also transferred between RDCs.
The group also has another Company which produces another line of products. RDCs and Branches of first company also work for second company (which means same RDC can store FG produced by both companies) and also Branches can also have FG material of both companies. Second company doesnt have any specific R&D or capital division and R&D and capital of first company also work for second company.
Inter company transfer between both companies is a regular practice.
> Proposed Org structure
Company Group Company
Company Code First company and Second company
Factory Configurations
For first company
4 Factories will be 4 plants
Factories Structure (Storage locations / warehouses and storage type)
Since factories have different type of material ( like FG , Raw material , WIP ) therefore I am confused what option I should select
1) 3 storage location ( for each plant) and one warehouse, 1 storage type
2) 1 storage location and three warehouses (I think this is not possible in SAP , not sure ?? )
3) 1 storage location , 1 warehouse and 3 storage types
RDC structure
RDCs have full fledged warehouse facility and therefore thinking of making them also as Plant. Every RDC will have 6 Storage locations , 1 for First company RDC itself, 5 for associated branches and I feel each RDC storage locations should be a associated to a separate warehouse also.
( Since both companies produce different set of products therefore they will have different material and hence thinking of handling products of both companies in same plant and same storage location and warehouse , may be two storage type/area can be defined to differentiate material of both companies.)
Branches: Will be storage locations under RDC ..
While making branches as Storage location . I have another question about valuation , since material from Plant and RDC is being transferred to Branches and from there it is distributed to customers therefore the valuation of FG at BRANCH and RDC should be different as transportation cost , packing , unpacking etc cost should get added at Branch level.
Therefore in case I make branch as Storage location , I will miss the valuation part while if I make them as Plant then there will be lot of documents get generated for each movement. Hence not sure for what option I should go.
R&D:
Since R& D department is involved in testing in New Product development and generally material is required to be scrapped after testing therefore thinking of making it as Plant with one storage location and may be here I dont need any warehouse (WM) here.
Project Division
Project division may also be a separate plant with one storage location and NO WAREHOUSE is required to linked with it.
Purchase Organizations
4 purchase organizations for each plant respectively and 1 centralized purchase Org for central procurement.
Your all valuable inputs are welcome .... looking foward to have a best possible configuration for above mentioned case study.
Regards

Phew... long long question
The rule I generally follow is that the org structure should map reality.
Company code - where Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss are prepared at the end of the year. If an entity does not do this, it is not a company code.
Plant
1) Each manufacturing facility is a plant (could be in 1 location or separate).
2) Each separate location is a plant (even if it only stores goods). May be an overkill, but helps when legal requirements change or the location is upgraded.
So in your case, RDC will be a plant (may be more than 1 if necessary). R&D should be a separate plant without warehouse management
Storage location
The only rule I follow is that there should not be any overlap of storage locations. So physically, any area of say 1 square foot should belong to one and only one storage location. Otherwise there is a lot of confusion during physical inventory. So logical locations are a no-no.
I usually use a lot of storage locations.
Don't have a warehouse spanning multiple plants (even though it is allowed).
Purchasing organizations
Have one for each location of purchase. If there is a team sitting in each plant procuring for only that plant, have it as a separate purchasing org (not strictly necessary, but makes authorization simple). For central purchasing, a central purchasing org should do nicely...
Hope this helps,
Lakshman
