SAP SD Enterprise Structure Enterprise structure or Organizational structure in SAP is a structure of SAP organizational units that reflects the

structure of the business in the real world. There are various SAP organizational units that can be mapped to business structure based on the real world business requirements such as: Client, Company Code, Plant, Storage Location, Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division, Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales Person, Shipping Point, Loading Point, etc. We must set the enterprise structure correctly in the first place. The change of it usually requires a great effort and very time consuming. To set it up correctly we must have a comprehensive knowledge about the business processes and how to map it to SAP configuration. A specific organizational unit is defined by a specific function or module in SAP. Company code is defined by FI module. Plant is defined by Logistics function. Storage Location and Purchasing Organization are defined by MM module. In SD module we have to define Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division. We have an option whether to use Sales Office, Sales Group, and Sales Person or not. Sales Organization Sales Organization is an organizational unit that responsible to sell and distribute products and negotiate the term of sales to the customers. Sales Organization is the highest organizational unit in SD module. We should have only one Sales Organization in one company code. We must have a very good reason in term of business process to create more than one Sales Organizations in one company code. For example, we want to divide the market into regions where each region is responsible for its own

product liability and customer rights-of-recourse (right to recover a bad debt). A sales organization must be assigned exactly to one company code. A sales organization is assigned to one or more plants. Distribution Channel Distribution Channel is an organizational unit that represents the channel through which the materials or services reach the customer, such as wholesale channel, direct sale channel, retail channel, etc. A distribution channel can be assigned to one or more sales organizations. Division Division is a way to group materials or services. A wide range of materials or services can be divided into divisions. A material or service is always assigned to just one division. In SAP SD, the use of divisions allows us organize our sales structure around groups of similar products or product lines. We can define a division-specific sales structure. Within a division, we can also carry out statistical analyses or devise our own marketing strategies. Sales Area A sales area is a combination of sales organization, distribution channel and division. Sales documents, delivery documents, and billing documents are always assigned to a sales area. Every sales process always takes in a specific sales area. SAP SD enterprise structure and master data Master data is data records that remains in the database for a long period of time. In SAP SD module, master data includes materials, customers, conditions (pricing), etc.

Master data is created centrally and can be used in all applications. A customer is master data that can be used in customer requests, orders, deliveries, invoices, and payments. Master data also has an organizational aspect as it is assigned to organizational units. Material master data Division is a field in the material master data (it can be input/edited on Basic Data 1 view by MM01/MM02 t-code). Thats why a material is always assigned to just one division. A material can be sold through one or more distribution channels in one or more sales organization. To allow it, we have to maintain the material master data for each combination of sales organization and distribution channel. We can set different data of a material for each combination sales organization and distribution channel, such as: minimal order quantity and minimal delivery quantity data. By doing so, for example, a material must be ordered by customer minimal 1000 PC for wholesale channel and 10 PC for retail channel (assumed we only have one sales organization). Customer master data A customer can buy one or more divisions (group of products or services) from one or more distribution channels in one or more sales organizations. To allow it, we have to maintain the customer master data for each combination of sales organization, distribution channel, and division (which is a sales area).

We can set different data of a customer for each sales area, such as: delivering plant, shipping conditions, and delivery priority. By doing so, for example, we can set that if a customer orders a material or service (with includes in a division) through a wholesale channel in a sales organization, we deliver it with high delivery priority. But, if that customer orders the same material or service (with includes in a division) through a retail channel in same sales organization, we deliver it with standard delivery priority. Conditions (pricing) master data A company usually sells a material or service at different price conditions for different channel distributions. For example, it gives more discounts for same material or service that sold through wholesale channel than through retail channel (its because the minimal order quantity for wholesale channel is usually much bigger than retail channel). In SAP SD, we can set different materials or services pricing conditions that sold to the same customer for each combination of distribution channel and sales organization. The rule of thumb in determining SAP enterprise structure is try to create as simple as it can. We must have a very good reason in term of business process to create any additional organizational units of SAP enterprise structure.

Every organizations Sales is structured in a certain way. This structure needs to be represented in SAP based on pre-defined organizational elements and combine them in a pre-defined way. This method of representing all the different organizational elements of the company in a structured way is called Enterprise Structure. Organizational elements or Org Units for short are a system representation of an actual company organizational unit. For example, an org unit in real life could be a particular product division , or a Sales Office in Seattle, or a manufacturing plant in Boston or a warehouse in Alabama. The following picture shows how an enterprise structure is created in SAP.

Instead of discussing the text book definitions of these organizational units, lets take a company in real life and discuss the same. However, please do note the cardinality. For example, a company can be linked to multiple company codes as shown in the beginning of the picture above. Lets take the example of General Electric Healthcare ( or GE Medicals ) and discuss the enterprise structure in detail. We have taken GE just as an example, and this enterprise structure in no way represents GEs internal structure. In fact, GE Healthcare does not even use SAP as its ERP. Before discussing the same, lets look at another pictorial representation of the same picture as above but with GEs org units.

Company GE Medicals is the name of the company. This company has presence across the world. And when GE Healthcare declares profits in the US, it is not just including the US company but the entire world. In SAP parlance, GE Medicals is a Company. Company Code GE Medicals in the US will be run through a legal entity. A company code is an entity that has to report its financials to the government on a timely basis. For example an Incorporated entity can be called a company code. In this case, GE Medicals in the US is being called as a legal entity. Sales Organization Since the company has presence across the US, there will be sales organizations across the united states responsible for selling goods. For example, the Western division is responsible for selling goods in the

Western states. The same organization is also responsible for handling returns, credits, availability of materials etc. Distribution Channel Just as the name speaks, a distribution channel is the sales channel through which products are distributed. In this case, the medical equipment could be sold through the direct channel or through an agency. Each of them will be represented as a distribution channel. A more common example could be Retail or Wholesale. Division Division is purely related to the product/service we are selling. Its a grouping of our products. For example all different types of X-Ray machines would fall under the X-Ray division. Sales Office The western division of the company might be having multiple sales offices in california. For example there could be one in the bay area and another in Los Angeles Sales Group Each sales office contains multiple sales groups who have a fixed set of responsibilities. It could be based on the products that they sell or the type of sales that they perform or the role they play in the actual sale. For example, a sales group could be responsible for selling consumables used in the X-Ray while the field-apps will be responsible for selling the software used in the machines. Plant A plant is where goods are manufactured. Sometimes, you might not even manufacture anything Just trade goods. Still you would need a plant. So a plant could be a physical or virtual place where goods are manufactured or stored at a high level. For example, there could be a plant in New Jersey.

Storage Location Each plant could be associated with multiple storage locations A place where goods are stored before being sold. For example, the new jersey plant could have storage locations in Edison and Iselin. Warehouse A warehouse is an extension of the storage location. While a storage location represents a location where goods are stored, a warehouse goes much further and describes how the goods are sold, the topography of the storage, storage conditions etc. Goods can still be sold without using Warehouse Management, but a sales cannot happen without a storage location. Sales Office A combination of the sales organization, distribution channel and division is called the sales area. Sales Organization + Distribution Channel + Division = Sales Area

Configuration
The configuration for the enterprise structure is very simple. The Menu path is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Enterprise Structure ] Definition: The first step before doing the configuration is to assess the requirement as to how the company is organized and how best it can be represented in SAP. Each company is run in a different way. Since SAPs enterprise structure is rigid, you might have to try different things to fit their organizations model into SAPs org structure. After you have fully understood the organizational units in the company, start by defining those in SAP. The following picture shows the path of the enterprise structure

definition in IMG. While the Company and company codes are defined by FICO consultants, the ones highlighted in red below are absolutely necessary for the functioning of the SAP Sales & Distribution Module.

In normal practice, organization units are normally copied from 0001 . While creating a new organizational unit is easy, there are many associated links in the background that are normally not easy to understand. So its always best to copy from 0001. Lets see an example of how to create a new sales organization. Click on Define, copy, delete, check Sales Organization under the Sales and Distribution section. Choose the option highlighted below.

Enter the copy button and choose the From and To sales organizations.

Enter 0001 as the source and target for example is WEST. Thats it and you are done.

Organizational units can be defined in a similar way for the rest of them. Assignment : After defining the org elements, we have to assign them to each other to make a meaningful representation of the companys organizational units.

The menu path is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment ]. Lets set up a sales area by assigning a distribution channel and division to the sales organization, just as an example. Select Set up Sales Area. However, if you are trying to create a sales area with the combination of WEST sales organization that you just created along with a distribution channel of 01 and a division of 01, you will see an error as shown below. The reason being that when WEST sales organization was copied with reference to the sales organization 0001, the assignments were also copied. This is just one of the default assignment there are many more. So to be on the safer side, its better to copy it and delete all the necessary assignments rather that start from scratch. Otherwise, this is how assignments are created. Assignments can be made similarly based on our first illustration to all other organizational units based on your requirements.

The exact configuration steps are below.

Definition
Plant Define the plant New Jersey or Arkansas. Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics General -> Define, Copy, Delete Check Plant ]

Division Define A division say X-Ray or CT Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics General -> Define, Copy, Delete Check Division] Sales Organization Define the Sales Organization East, West or South West Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Sales & Distribution -> Define, Copy, Delete,Check Sales Organization] Distribution Channel Define the division say Agency or Direct Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics General -> Define, Copy, Delete Check Distribution Channel] Sales Office Define the Sales office , say Bay Area or Los Angeles Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Sales & Distribution -> Maintain Sales Office] Sales Group Define the division say Field Applications or Consumables Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics General -> Maintain Sales Group]

Storage Location Define the Storage Location say Edison or Iselin Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition >Materials Management -> Define Storage Location] Warehouse Define the warehouse Give it any name you like. Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics Execution-> Define, Copy, Delete Check Warehouse Number] Shipping Point Define the Shipping Point , say Door1 or Door 2 Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics Execution -> Define, Copy, Delete Check Shipping Point] Sales Group Define the division say Field Applications or Consumables Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics General -> Maintain Sales Group]

Assignment
Plant to Company Code Assign the Plant you have created to the company code 1000. Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code ]

Tip : When you assign the plant to company code ( Since copies were made off of 0001 ), the system will say that the assignment has already been made with 0001. This is because of the Copy effect. For example, we have created a new plant for New Jersey ( NEW6 ) , but by default it has already been assigned to 0001 company code.

Since a plant can only be assigned to 1 company code, you cannot assign the plant to a company code of your choice. In this case, delete this assignment and create another. When you delete an existing assignment, you get the following error message. You can choose YES

And then , as usual, create a new entry to assign the newly created plant to the company code of your choice. Sales Organization to Company Code Assign the Sales Organization to the company code 1000 Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales & Distribution -> Assign Sales Organization to Company code]

Distribution Channel to Sales organization Assign the distribution channel you have created to the sales organization you have created in the definition step. Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales & Distribution -> Assign Distribution Channel to Sales Organization] Division to Sales Organization Assign the division that you have created to the sales organization . Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales & Distribution -> Assign Division to Sales Organization] Set up Sales Area Set up Sales area as the combination of Sales Organization, distribution channel and division Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales & Distribution -> Set up Sales Area] Sales Office to Sales Area Assign the Sales Office Created earlier in the definition step to the Sales Area you created in the previous step. Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment->Sales & Distribution -> Assign Sales Office to Sales Area] Sales Group to Sales Office Assign the Sales Group to the Sales Office

Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment->Sales & Distribution -> Assign Sales Group to the Sales Office] Sales Organization + Distribution Channel to Plant The Sales Organization and Distribution Channel needs to be assigned to Plant. Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Sales & Distribution-> Assign Sales Organization - distribution Channel - Plant] Warehouse Number to Plant / Storage Location Assign the Warehouse Number you have created to the Plant and Storage Location combination Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Logistics Execution ->Assign Warehouse Number to Plant/Storage location] Shipping Point to Plant Assign the shipping Point to Plant Configuration = [ spro -> IMG -> Enteprise Structure -> Assignment-> Logistics General -> Assign Shipping Point to Plant]

A. Can you assign multiple company codes to a Sales Organization ? If not why ? No, this is not possible. You can have multiple Sales orgs assigned to a Company Code but not visa versa. B. Can you assign multiple Sales Organizations to a company code ? If yes, give a business scenario. There can be 3 sales orgs based on geographic locations 1. USA. 2. Europe & 3. Asia All the three can be assigned to a single company code.

C. Can you assign multiple distribution channels to a Sales Organization ? If yes, give a business scenario which would require such an assignment. You can have the distribution channels like online sales, direct sales, corporate account sales. All these can be assigned to a Sales Org. D. Can you assign multiple divisions to a sales organization ? If yes, give a business scenario which would require such an assignment. Yes, this is possible. Divisions are based on product lines and each sales org can support diff. product lines. For ex., Apple can have a divisions for #1. iPhone sales, #2. Mac sales, #3. Ipad sales, etc., E. Can you set up multiple Sales Areas using the same Sales Organization ? ( For example, can you set up 1000/01/01 and also 1000/10/01 ? ) This is not possible, one sales org can belong to one sales area. F. Can you assign a single sales office to multiple sales areas ? If yes, why would you want to do that ? Siva, can you explain me this scenario. G. Can a sales group belong to multiple sales offices ? If yes, give a business scenario which would require it Can the same shipping point belong to multiple plants ? Siva, can you explain me this scenario.

Defining Common Distribution Channels for Master Data(TVKOV-VKWKO TVKOV~VTWKU) Use The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data.. Procedure Access the activity using one of the following navigation options: IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution Channels Transaction Code: VOR1 19. Defining Common Divisions for Master Data(TVKOS-SPAKO TVKOS~SPAKU) Use The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data.. Procedure Access the activity using one of the following navigation options: IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Division Transaction Code: VOR2 Pricing Procedure In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message. In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under: Step 1: Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a

new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control -> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record). Step 2: Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control -> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence. Step 3: Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control -> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type. Step 4: a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control -> Pricing Procedure > Maintain Pricing Procedure. b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Function -> Pricing Control -> Pricing Procedure > Determine Pricing Procedure. 5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc. Normal Sales Order Cycle:Step 1: Sales Document Type IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >

Sales Document Header: 1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order. 2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team. 3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types: A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error. B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area. Sales Document Item: 1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New. 2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category Schedule Line: 1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New. 2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type. Step 2: IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries > 1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New. 2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New. 3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range. Step 3: IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing > 1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New. 2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.

3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc. The configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.
