Responsibility of consultant in Setting up Enterprise Structure

Can guru's explain what are the main responsibility of a consultant while setting up enterprise structure in a client company please.
Thanks in advance.
Rakesh

Enterprise Structure is the basic for a successful implementation. If this is not correct, mapping of bussiness processes will also fail, as basic requirement is not met.
It is important to understand the requirement of the client & with close co-ordinationwith team members from other modules, this should be freezed.

Setting up Enterprise structure

FI experts,
I would like the feedback on how new Business Unit ( take over companies) are merged to exising SAP instance.
My case is as under : -
We have one business unit operating in US, Mexico, Japan with following settings under FICO
1. Separate company code for US, Mexico, Japan
2. Single Financial management Area
3. Single Controlling Area
4. Single Operating Concern
5. Separate Credit Control Area for US, Mexico, Japan mapping to each company code.
6. Single Chart of Accounts
This works great as we are able to do both Intercompany & intracompany transactions.
Now for a new business unit (BU) ( company taken over) we want to bring them under our SAP system. This BU also has 1 plant in US & Mexico. So we would create 2 new company codes, 2 credit control areas, 2 plants. That is easy decision.
Tough decision is should we have to create new FM Area, Controlling Area, Operating Concern & Chart of accounts OR can we just merge new company codes into existing FM Area, Controlling Area, Operating Concern & Chart of accounts.
Would appreciate Pros & cons for both options. All good & helpful answers will be thanked graciously.
Look forward for advice from FI experts.
thanks,
Ram

Thanks Santosh for the reply. What are the pros & cons of Merging into existing FM area, controlling area, chart of accounts versus creating a separate FM area, controlling area, chart of accounts.
I want to know this as the BU ( takeover company ) does not have similar products, similar customers, vendors as that of existing company( Business unit).
Thanks,
Ram

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

Enterprise structure -work from home employees

Hi all,
We are in the process of setting up our Enterprise Structure. PA will be set up as 4 physical offices of the company in US. PSA as to be set up as Divisions of the company. We also have work from home employees working at different locations (15 states) in USA. Right now they are tracked statewise. They are categorized by work from home- per state. Also all work from home employees are treated the same way as other employees who work from office locations in terms of benefits and pay. They are considered as Active employees in current legacy system.
I want the advise on how to go ahead for setting up PA, PSA, EG and ESG for thses emplyees. One option is to set up 15 personnal areas as 15 states which will divide the work from home emp (in addition to 4 PAs as offices) or the other is just to set up one PA for all homebase employees in US and then maintain their locations/states somewhere else.
Has anyone come across the same situation ? How the work from home emp. in other companies are categorized? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks Manoj and Sikinder.
And how to categorize them under PA? As I said ealier, we have 4 PAs as physical offices and I am confused where to put the work from employees in Enterprise Structure.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

Business Area in Enterprise Structure

Can someone please explain the purpose of Business Area/Business Unit in the Enterprise Structure? I'm wondering, functionally, how it is different from personnel area and personnel subarea, as we use the PA and PSA to distinguish between departments and business units, respectively. Are there integration differences, or is there not a significant difference?
Thanks for any replies and help.
-Nick

Hey Nick,
If you bring up the help on Business Area within the IMG, you get the following:
Define Business Area
Use
In this section you create business areas. A business area is an
organizational unit within accounting that represents a separate area of
operations or responsibilities in a business
organization.
When defining a business area, you enter a four-character alphanumeric key
and the name of the business area.
In a client, you can set up
several business areas to which the system can assign the postings made in all
company codes defined in
this client. To ensure consistency in document entry, you should give business
areas the same name in all company codes.
You make all other specifications for your business areas in the Financial
Accounting Implementation Guide.
So as this and Theo also indicated above, this is relevant for FI.
Hope this helps!

Enterprise structure

Dear friends,
Iam Implimenting SAP.
Company gets order from customer for setting up power plant, Our client manufactures all the connected mat like turbines,switch gear,compressors ,,etc.
These are manufactured at each unit respectively in same compound.Each unit is having raw material store,finished stor,semi finshed store,
there are 2 common material stores used by all the units, each store is having raw material stores/returns stores,dispatch stores,finished stores,cut to sizes shop where all material is cut to sizes.This cut to size is also within the store.
How to map this scenario as enterprise structure.
How cut to store in Store is mapped.whether stores like return stores,semifinished stores,raw material ,dispacth store all are defined as stores.These common stores are to defined under which plant.
Whether the intermediatory store is also defined as one store.each plant materials is procured by one pur org.and common stores materials are procured by 3 other purchase organisations.
How to define enterprise structure.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Cheruku.Dayanand

if ur plant is using the material which is procured by many organizations then i think u need to go through the funda of reference purh. org. and standard pur. org
that is if ur plant is assigned to no. of org. then u have to assign some of them to ur plant and assign 1 of them as standard org
and if some head office or centralized org. is also involved in procurement for plant then assign that one as refrence org. for u r plant level org.
and i belive u need to look from wherehouse management point of view because in mm u only have storage location but if go in depth then go for wherehouse management

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.

MM Enterprise Structure

Hi,
   Can someone please let me know what does the Enterprise structure of MM contains.
Thanks

Dear Raj,
Here is your answer
Organization of an Enterprise:
Organizational Levels: The structure of an enterprise
Client: A grouping or combination of legal, organizational, business and/or administrative units with a common purpose.
Company code: This level represents an independent accounting unit within a client. Each company code has its own balance sheet and its own profit and loss statement.
Plant: Operational unit within a company code..
Purchasing organization: An organizational unit responsible for procuring materials or services for one or more plants
Purchasing group: The purchasing organization is further subdivided into purchasing groups (buyer groups), purchasing group can also act for several purchasing organizations.
Assignments:
plant must be assigned to one or more purchasing organizations.
a plant must always be assigned to a company code.
purchasing organization can (but need not) be assigned to a company code.
prerequisite for this is that the plant for which procurement is carried out is assigned to the purchasing organization
Centralized/Distributed Purchasing
     Centralized purchasing, with just one purchasing organization
     Distributed purchasing, with a number of different purchasing organizations each responsible for different plants
Reference Purchasing Organization
Depending on the way your system is set up, either a central purchasing department can exist side by side with, but separate from, local purchasing departments, or local purchasing departments can make use of contracts and conditions created by the central purchasing department.
A reference purchasing organization can negotiate a comprehensive contract that can be used by other purchasing organizations.

Hi,
we are using Identity Manager 8.0.0.5 and we are trying to set the notifications structure which is evaluated in the Create User and Update User workflow from within our Tabbed User Form and from a ActivveSync Form.
We had no success in either case so far.
Any ideas on how to do this?
What we want to achieve is send additional notifications if certain attribute conditions are met.
Thans for any answer.

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.
