E-Book: SAP Enterprise Structure Concept and Configuration Guide

E-book: SAP Enterprise Structure (MM and related modules such as FI, Logistics, and SD) Concept and Configuration Guide

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 ERP 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 it’s 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 enterprise’s requirements for current and future situation.

Purchase Requisition (PR) Release Strategy – Basic Concept

Purchase Requisition (PR) is an internal purchasing document in SAP R/3. It is used to give notification to responsible department (purchasing/procurement) of requirements of materials and/or external services and keep track of such requirements. PR must contain information about quantity of a material or a service and the required date.

 

It can be created directly (manually, through ME51N T-code) by a person or indirectly by another SAP component (such as material requirement planning/MRP, maintenance order of Plan Maintenance/PM module, production order of Production Planning/PP module).

 

PR then can be processed to be an external purchasing document (such as Purchase Order/PO) or internal purchasing document (such as Stock Transport Order/STO).

 

In SAP R/3, PR can be processed directly to be PO/STO or must be approved/released before it can be processed to be PO/STO.
