Organization Structure level

Hi All,
I know this is a fundamental question, so guide me if this is not the right place.
I am new to HCM and am trying to get my fundamentals right. I have been reading a lot about organization structure and organization plan. In real life scenarios when we create an organization structure, is it created at a company code level or enterprise (client) level. Bottom line, is there only one organization structure created per client or multiple?
Thank you!
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
Vishru and Vikrant have given you an excellent start. I believe you are confusing some terms here - Company Code is determined by the Financial organization and refers to a group having their own set of books - general ledger. There will be at least one Company Code per country but there may be more than one in a country if you have subsidiaries or divisions that keep their own general ledgers.
In HR the Organizational Structure shows who reports to whom. This may cut across several Company Codes as the CEO may manage the heads of several subsidiaries each of which has their own P&L responsibility. The structure then continues down in each subsidiary again showing who reports to whom.
The Personnel Area and Personnel Subarea (Enterprise Structure) usually look at location and function - where a person works and their function in the company. For example, all persons working at the Corporate Headquarters may be in the same Personnel Area if they are all at the same location. But they may work in Fianance, HR, Purchasing, etc. which may be separate Subareas. But each Personnel Area may be assigned to only one Company Code.
The Employee Group and Subgroup (Personnel Structure)determine the type of pay and benefits the employee may receive. Example, Salaried Employee, Hourly, Union Worker, Part TIme, Full Time, etc. These will cross Company Code lines if they have the same benefits, work schedules, pay structure, etc.
What you must remember is that every employee has an assignment in the Enterprise Structure, Personnel Structure and Organizational Structure and these are all assigned in IT0001-Organizational Assignment.

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.
Organizational unit
Definition
Client
Obligatory
Company
Optional
Company code

Business area

Basic setting
Chart of accounts

Fiscal year

Currencies

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

Sales and Distribution
Sales organization, ...
Logistics
Purchasing organization, ...
Financial Accounting
Company code, ...
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.

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.

Queries Regarding Organization Structure in SAP.

Hi,
I have a query regarding the ORG structure.
Can a sales & marketing organization be created in same organization structure in CRM 5.0 ?
My requirement is to create a Sales & marketing Department in a company say 'SK Co.'
Once these are defined then the respective sales hierarchy can be created like for 'sales' ; Sales organization, Sales office , Sales group.
I tried to define the 'Company' a the top level of hierarchy but there the function is by default selected as 'Sales'. Due to which If I define any entry below it , it always remains in Sales . The structure is as follows:
1) >SK Company (Top Node)
2) >>Sales & Marketing Deprtment
3) >>>Sales Department
>>>>North Region Sales Org.
>>>>East Region Sales Org.
>>>>West Region Sales Org.
>>>>South Region Sales Org
4) >>>Marketing Department
>>>>Channel Export
Thanks In advance.

Hi ,
How did you manage to define a org structure where main node has no function.
There has to be at least one function :Sales, Service or marketing.
Can I create a Top node in organisation structure without a function ?
If yes, How ?
Thanks for your time.

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.

Plz help me out with organizational structure for SAP PP.
Regards,

Hi,
In PP you dont have any mandatory Organization structure to be maintained. Same MM organization structure (plant, storage loction etc) would be used in PP also.Since customization starts at Plant level in PP so, the one which is used for MM applies to PP also.

Hi Vinoth,
GP does not support organization structure directly.
But there is a way to implement it that way...
You can impersonate the task to any user Id at runtime.
This userId can be read from org structure programatically (RFC or WS)

Partner Determination/Organization Structure

Hi,
I wanted to understand how through partner determination procedure relevant Service Team can be assigned. You can use example of Standard Service Order Transaction SRVO, Standard Partner Determination Procedure 00006, Standard Access Sequence 011 Executing Service Organization, Standard Organization determination rule 1000278 and organization structure 50004983 to explain the connection.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
The description of rule 10000278 says,"
This rule should be used for partner determination via the orgdata model.
It delivers on the basis of orgattribute <H>executing
service organizations</>
It is intended
- for partner determination at item level
- for service items
- when using products in the service item
Executing service organizations are all
in the orgdata model with the following characteristics:
- Service Scenario
- Indicator for executing service organization is set.
These partners are filed as partners of the partner function
category executing service organization in the
transaction.
For example, org data determination is set up in the container after
the postal code and product.

Prashant

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

Organizational structures in SAP

Hello,
I am beginner in SD module and would be posting basic questions.
Why should we define Organizational structures in SAP?
Thank you

Organizational structures must be defined in SAP to represent the structure of the organization. These structures can be defined independently for each functional area of the system. For example, the sales department will want to define sales organizations, distribution channels and divisions (product groups), while the purchasing department will want to define purchasing organizations, plants and storage locations. Independent of these structures, a structure must be defined in financial accounting (FI) that represents the legal reporting entity. This structure is represented by the company code. The balance sheet and the profit and loss statement are prepared for the company code.
Functional areas and organizational structures include:
Functional area Organizational structure
Sales and distribution -> Sales organization, distribution channel, division, sales area, ...
Financial accounting -> Company code, chart of accounts, business area, ...
Logistics -> Purchasing organization, purchasing group, plant, storage location,...
Controlling -> Controlling area, cost centre, profit centre, ...
Human resources -> Personnel area, employee group, employee subgroup, ...
General data that is used by all company codes is stored at a client level. This means that data valid for all functional areas needs to be stored only once (eg vendor name and address is stored at the client level whilst payment terms may vary for each company code).
Organizational structures can be used to control access to processing within the organization. For example, users can be restricted to process documents for their own company code only.

Error while creating the Organization structure.

Hi,
I am trying to create an Organization structure in SRM 5 sytem, I have created a Root for the structure and when i try to click on the Attribute Inheritance or the Check tab below i am getting an error "Start program BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL first (see note 563180 and long text)" but i have replicated one plant from the R/3 system using BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED and the material groups and all the other relevant datas from R/3. I can see in the table BBP_LOCMAP the plant been associated with the relevant company code. I am now struck in creating the organization structure. I am not sure where i am going wrong while creating the Org model.Please give me your valuable inputs to overcome this error.
Regards
GGL

Go to transaction SM30, table T77S0
Add an X to the following entry:
Group = EBP
Sem abbr. = LMIGR
Val. Abbr. = X
Description = Locations Successfully Migrated
This tell the system that the locations have been replicated and the error indicating location get all needs be executed will go away.
thanks,
