MM Org Structure for Projects Industry

Dear Colleagues,
Our company is implementing for Construction Company.
The client is specialized in Plant Erections, Civil constructions, Hotels, Towers, etc.
Company is executing projects across all countries in the world.
The objective is to control
1.     Material valuation at Project Level.
2.     Cash flow at Project level
3.     Material tracking (movements) at Project level.
We have two options to achieve the same:-
Option 1:- Create every Project as a Plant
Option 2:- Create One Plant and each Project would be represented as a Storage Location.
Which one is the best practice?
Regards,
ROI

1) Plant will be one.
2) New project create project and WBS structure from CJ20N.
3) Creaate quatation from va21 assign wbs to finish material.
4) Create sales order using quatation wbs also copied.
5) Create BOM using CS61
6) MRP run
7)PR-PO-GR for raw material and Planned order- production order- stock for finished and SFG.
8) Finish stock will be with ref. to sales order.
9) Delevry VL01N.
10) Ur total project cost also booked in wbs u can see reports in CJI3.

Org structure for CRM 5.0

hi forum,
we are going for crm 5.0 n crm service, my parent company has 2 group companies , I would like to know whether i can have seperate org structure for each group company for each section (i.e: sales , marketing and service) for each group company
I justr want to confirm whether the org structure can be different for each group company for each function (i.e: sales , marketing and service) as well as the parent company can have a seperate org structure for all 3 functions.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
I think it can definetely be different.
Our business case is the following:
We have two different nodes: one for sales organization structure and another one for purchase organization structure.
Then we have three different sub-organization branched to the main node. The three ones are for : Programs, Product and Marketing.
Just beware how FM might work in organizational model determination, once you create an order.

How to find buyer in org structure for completion workflow

Hi Experts,
I have a doubt in org structure.As our client is saying that they implemented completion workflow to determine buyer and then approval workflow to determine the approvers.
During completion workflow they are identifying the buyer using the org structure itself.
How to identify immediate manager by looking at the org structure.(of course here it is Buyer for requestor ).
Is there any attribute which gives the information

Hi ,
Well, are you working with PC or AC WFL? Anyway, usually for completion customer takes for example the users assigned to a concerning purchase group as to be the completioner. How to identy this in the org. level? You can con directly at PPOMA_BBP and check for this purchase organization which users are assigned to it.
In case of managers from requestor, you can also see in the org. level. They are the users that uses a cap and are always assigned oe level above. There is the FM which can be used to find the line manager assigned to the employee: RH_GET_LEADING_POSITION.
I hope the above information helps you.
Cheers,
Melina

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.

You either use Business Area for Loaction like Head Office/Branch Office/Factory and create profit centre for differenet products.
Or
You check applicability of AS17 (Segment Accounting) and use SEGMENT for products and use Profit centre for HO/Branch Office/Plant etc.

Alternate design for the ORS org structure

Hi Gurus,
Need your expert advise on below issue. We are currently on SRM 5.0 using classic scenario.
We are currently exploring the feasibility of either adopting the HR org structure for ORS or an alternative to the org chart that supports workflow routing and is not cumbersome to maintain.
Please advise if there is any other alternate design aside from adopting HR org unit to ORS. Can also advise if that design as an org chart will support workflow.
Many thanks for the help.

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

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.

Organisational structure of projects

Hi,
I observed that WBS elements of different company codes can be created under a project.
So I wanted to know if there is any organizational structure for projects?
Is it that a project can be used in multiple company codes? across company codes?
For Example:
Company code in Project is 1000
WBS Element X under above project assigned to company code 1000
WBS Element Y under above project assigned to company code 2000
Regards,
SD

Hello SD
You should be aware that there are organisational values which are
dependant on the plant in a network, and which are set when the network
is created.
Company code is one of these. If you were able to change the
plant at a later stage, an inconsistency between plant and such
organisation values would result. If you take into account that a
network at this stage could already carry costs etc, this would mean a
serious inconsistency (and rules out trying to update these
organisational values as well).
This is not allowed by the program logic.

Org Structure Maintenance -- Real Experiences

HR Experts,
There are two alternatives to maintaining Org Structures in any Company, like
Creating and maintaining Org Structure
and Creating, Editing and Deleting / Delimiting the following
Org Units
Jobs
Positions
Work Centers
Relationships
Assignment Features, etc
FIrst alternative is that an individual or a group takes care of these at Cororate Level, for the entire Organization
Second alternative is to make Unit Level / Business Level individual / group responsible to maintain Org Structure for their Unit / Business.
I am not looking for suggestions as to which alternative is better, but <b>I am looking for feedback on how it is being managed in your Organization / at your Client</b>
Thanks in advance for your input
Points will be rewarded promptly.

Hi,
As per my experience our client wants every process to be done in corporate office only.
So we are doing configuration based on their requirement & for each processess which includeds workflows.
For Example if employees request for leave then it has to be processed by his chief who will send the mail to corporate office HR and from there his leave will be sanctioned. So the Cheif of every department will directly report to Corporate office.

Organization structure for Inventory management

Hi All,
I am looking for organization structure specific to inventory management and also data flow architecture.
If there is any standard org structure is available please share with me.
Regards
Vijay

I am looking for organization structure specific to inventory management and also data flow architecture.
> If there is any standard org structure is available please share with me.
Hi Vijay,
Standard Org Structure for IM starts with Plants and ends with Storage Locations. You can create required no of storage locations under your plants, where plants are assigned to company codes. Its always better to copy from master plant 1000/0001 while creating the plants where you can make changes during creation where required (factory calendar etc).
All the material movements within the plant happen between storage locations, material-material, special stocks-unrestricted stocks with no accounting effect.
Movements between the plants can be planned wrt your needs such as STO with no financial postings unless you have plant wise PCA
You can follow the standard avaiable structure for your IM org structure.

Global Org Structure query

Hello,
I have one query regarding creating Org Structure. We are setting up one global org structure for 10 countries.
The org structure format is as follows -
Root org unit
Company
--- Division
--- Department
--- Country
We have created the sub org units as per each country under each department e.g. sub org units India, US, UK under org unit Product Development . Currently each country has one company code except India. India has 3 company codes. So do I need to create 3 different org units for India to assign proper cost centers and company code.
Also for the departments existing only in one country, do I need to create a sub org unit for that country. e.g. org unit Product Management exist only in US, so whether to create sub org unit US under Product Management or directly assign staff assignments at org unit product management?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dilek,
As per you suggestion, I need to create 3 sub org units for 3 company codes in India under org unit Prod Management (department), is this correct.
So the org structure will look like below -
Global Company (root org unit)
--- Division (Customer Support)
Function (R&D)
Department (Product Management)
Company code (IN01)
Company code (IN02)
Underneath sub org unit IN01 and IN02 will be staff assignments.
Can I get your email id so I can send you the screenshot of the org structre created.
Thanks.

Hi Ashutosh,
In order to change the number range for org units:
1. Go to the path:
Customer Relationship Management->Master Data->Organizational Management->Number Range Maintenance->Maintain number ranges
2. Here choose subgroup with the name
XXYY- XX is the plan version
YY- Object
For eg. ur plan version is 01 and orgunit object is O, so u choose subgroup 01O
if 01O does not exist choose 01$$.
If this also does not exist choose $$$$.
Choose the subgroup and go to number range maintenance.
And proceed by adding new interval.
Most of the case it is 01$$.
3. How to know the plan version.
Choose transaction PPOMA_CRM
In the menu, choose Settings-> Plan version-> Alternative
In most of the cases it is 01-Current Plan
This is how u can change the number range.
Wish the information is useful.

Shalini Chauhan

Plan version and org structure

Dear all,
As the company is planing to change/expand it's org structure, they created a new org structure. Someone said that, we can do future planing in by creating a dummy org structure and once it's approved, we can make it as original and will keep the old org structure for reference. And to activate the new org structure, we need to create a new plan version.
So my question is,
1. How to assign/link the new org structure to the new plan version? How can we make sure that the new changes (eg. any new joinee) will effect only in the new org structure and not in the old org structure?.
2. How to transfer the old org structure details to the new org structure?
Regards
ET

Hi Thomas,
You can copy your active org structure through Tcode (RE_RHCOPL00 - Copy) then in Table T77S0 make the Plogi - Plogi switch as 02 that is your alternate plan version. Then through PSO0 you can set this plan version.
Hope this helps.
