Creating an Organizational Structure Before we go ahead and create an Organizational Structure, let’s have a quick look at the terminology used in the organization structure. Structures in SAP HCM 1. Organizational structure. 2. Enterprise structure. 3. Personnel structure Pay scale structure Applicant structure Wage type structure 1. Organizational structure: It contains organizational objects /elements. These are called building elements. Organizational objects / elements are: Organizational objects Organizational unit Job Position Person Cost center Task Task group Org. key O C S P K T Ts If we create any organizational object, System will assign a eight digit numeric number, which is called unique Number. 1. Organizational Unit: Represents a functional unit in your enterprise, Human Resources department, for example. According to how tasks are divided up within an enterprise, this could be a department, group or project team, plant, for example. Organizational units differ from other units in an enterprise such as personnel areas, company codes, business areas etc. These are used to depict structures (administration or accounting, for example) in the corresponding components. Kinds of organizational units A). Main Organizational unit / Root organizational unit: Whatever the organization we create for the first time is called Main organizational unit. B). Sub organizational unit: Under Main org. unit whatever we create is called sub org.units. 2. Job: Jobs, in contrast, are classifications of functions in an enterprise (administrator, for example), which are defined by the assignment of characteristics. Jobs serve as job descriptions that apply to several positions with similar tasks or characteristics. Jobs are used as templates to create Positions that means to say without a job we can’t create a position. Example: Manager Engineer Consultant Designer Administrator 3. Position: Represents a post that can be occupied by a person (employee) in the staff assignments of an organizational unit, purchasing administrator, for example. Positions differ from jobs. A job is not concrete but rather the basis for the creation of various positions with similar tasks and characteristics. . Positions are created based on jobs; it means to say without a job we can’t create a Position. Job Manager Engineer Consultant Designer Position HR manager Marketing manager Finance manager Plant manager Production engineer Site engineer Software engineer SAP HR consultant FI/CO consultant SD consultant Software designer Web designer 1. Person: An individual, who is listed as an employee in Personnel Administration. A position can be occupied partially, hundred percentage. 2. Task: It is a collection of duties and responsibilities. Tasks are assigned to jobs and positions. “Activity which is performed within an organizational unit” 1. Task group: It is a group of tasks which can be assigned either a job or a position. * HOW TO CUSTOMIZE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE* Organizational structure can be created in three procedures. 1. Simple Maintenance 2. Expert Mode / Detailed Maintenance 3. Organization and Staffing Comment: If we create organizational Structure in any procedure, the same structure reflects in other two procedures. If we create organizational structure in Simple maintenance and Organization and Staffing the relationship between the objects are assigned by the system. Where as in detailed Maintenance the user has to assign the relationship code. The relationship between two objects is expressed in three digit numeric characters. Each and every relation can be expressed in two ways. 1. Top down which is indicated with B 2. Bottom up which is indicated with A For example: TATA group of business---Btop down. TATA mobiles business-- -Abottom up In the above Organizational units i.e. BTATA group of business shows its relationship towards A i.e. TATA mobiles, in the same way A i.e. TATA mobiles shows its relationship towards B i.e. TATA group of business. That means to say TATA mobiles reports to TATA group of business / TATA group of business is the line supervisor of TATA mobiles. So we come to know that the lower level organizational object is A So we come to know that the higher-level organizational object is B The relationship codes can be seen through transaction code “OOVK” table name is T778V The relationship codes: Relationship code Relationship bottom up Indicates with A Relationship top down Indicates with B Is a subdivision of Reports (line) to Belongs to Is subordinate to (disc.)
