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). That’s 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 (it’s 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.

Concepts

Every organization’s 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,

let’s 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. Let’s 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 GE’s internal structure.

In fact, GE Healthcare does not even use SAP as its ERP.

Before discussing the same, let’s look at another pictorial representation of

the same picture as above – but with GE’s 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 SAP’s enterprise

structure is rigid, you might have to try different things to fit their

organization’s model into SAP’s 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 it’s

always best to copy from 0001. Let’s 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 company’s organizational units.

The menu path is [ SPRO -> IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment ].

Let’s 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]

Also I created a customer named ABCD inc under S.org and material P-10.

When I tried to create a SO for material P-10 for customer mentioned

above I am getting an error saying

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.

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.
