In this section, you will learn how to portray the specific organizational structure of your business in the R/3
System.
To help you portray your company structure, different Accounting, Logistics and Human Resources organization
units are provided.
First analyze the structures and procedures in your company, and then match them to the SAP structures. There
are various organization elements defined as examples in the standard version. Normally these would not cover all
your needs. Extend the elements as required.
During the clarification stage, work with the structures delivered by SAP. In order to obtain a high degree of
indentification and acceptance from project members and user departments from the start, you may have to
change some of SAP's terminology.
You should limit the number of persons authorized to maintain organization elements. Define the authorization
profiles accordingly. As soon as your organization units are ready, access should be locked so that no other
changes can be made.

1.2 Create Plant
The plant is assigned to a single company code. A company code can have several plants.
Several storage locations in which material stocks are managed can belong to a plant.
A plant can be assigned to several combinations of sales organization and distribution channel.
A plant can have several shipping points. A shipping point can be assigned to several plants.
A plant has its own material master data. You can maintain data at plant level for the following views on a
material master record in particular: Purchasing, Storage, Sales, Accounting etc.
material valuation
If the valuation level is the plant, the material stocks are valuated at plant level. If the valuation level is the
plant, you can define the material prices for each plant. Each plant can have its own account
determination.

Further notes
Choose "Administer" or "Copy, delete, check plant" to work on a plant. The system changes the plant table and all
dependent Customizing and system tables where the plant occurs as a key. For more, see Copy/Delete/Check /
Edit Project IMG.
Recommendation
Plant 0001 is already preset in all dependent tables. SAP recommends that you change only the attributes and not
this number. For further settings, this enables you to access the sample entries, considerably reducing the time
required for maintenance. To create new plants, use the Extended Copyer to make copies of Plant 0001.
Activities
1. Create your plants and their respective local data, referring closely to the reference (plant 0001)
provided by SAP.
2. You can also copy, delete or check environment data.
3. You the Project IMG view to work on the data the system has changed. The generated project view is
retained so you can do this work later.

In the IMG activity "Assignment Plant - Company Code" you assign each plant to a company code.
Note
Complete functionality of the system can only be ensured if the plants assigned to a company code are only those
situated in the same country as the company code.
Requirements
Before you can assign plants to company codes, you must define the valuation control.
You may change the valuation control in the production system only after contacting your SAP consultant.
Changes may cause inconsistencies in documents.
Actions
From the Materials Management and Purchasing view, the purchasing organization is responsible for all
purchasing activities (including the processing of requests for quotations and purchase orders, for example).
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
The purchasing organization is integrated within the organizational structure as follows:
A purchasing organization can also exist without being assigned to a company code.
o Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the latter can be determined via the plant
at the time of each procurement transaction even if the procuring purchasing organization has not
been assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization can be divided into several purchasing groups that are responsible for different
operational areas.
Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.
Corporate-group-wide purchasing
Company-specific purchasing
Plant-specific purchasing
Corporate-group-wide purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of different company codes.
In this case, you do not assign a company code to the purchasing organization, but specify the company code
concerned for each individual purchasing transaction. You assign plants from different company codes to the
purchasing organization.
Company-specific purchasing:
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of just one company code.
In this case, you assign a company code to the purchasing organization. The purchasing organization may procure
only for this company code. You assign only plants of the company code concerned to the purchasing
organization.
Plant-specific purchasing:
A storage location is the place where stock is physically kept within a plant.
Stocks are managed only on a quantity basis and not on a value basis at storage location level.
In this IMG activity, you maintain your company codes. There are two situations in which you do this:
To create a material master record, the control record must exist for the company code for which you want to
create your master record.
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
To set up a company code, enter the current period here. Alternatively, you can do this with the period closing
program.
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
Whenever you create a material master record, you must assign it to a material type. This requires you to first
define the attributes of each material type. You do this in this IMG activity.
Material types are used in the following neighboring areas, where they are also configured in Customizing:
In this IMG activity, you define material groups. With material groups you group materials with the same attributes
or purpose.
Note
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
In the component Sales and Distribution (SD), you can assign material groups to divisions.
Actions
The SAP System manages purchase requisitions as documents. You can group requisitions into any number of
document types.
Standard Settings
The following settings are defined as standard, and SAP recommends that you use them:
Number ranges:
Number ranges:

Before you set up the price determination facility in the SAP System, you should do the following:
Check the dependencies under which prices, discounts, and surcharges are arrived at.
For example, determine whether different conditions apply to individual material groups and the basis on
which surcharges and discounts are calculated.
Then bring your pricing dependencies into line with the criteria for price determination in the SAP System.
In this step, you define transaction/event keys for condition types involving provisions.
To enable the system to find the relevant account for provisions (for accrued delivery costs or miscellaneous
provisions, for example), you must assign a transaction/event (internal processing) key to each condition type that
is relevant to provisions in the step Define Calculation Schema.
If purchase account management is active within a company code, you must specify the transaction/event key in
the field 'AccKy'. If not, you make this specification in the field 'Provis.'.
Via "Transaction/Event Key Usage" and "Usage of Transaction Key in Purchase Account Management", you can
determine the calculation schemas in which these keys are used.
For STO
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
The condition types are used to represent pricing elements such as prices, discounts, surcharges, taxes, or
delivery costs in the SAP System. These are stored in the system in condition records.
For condition types for which you wish to maintain conditions with their own validity period, you must specify an
access sequence. In this way, you stipulate the fields the SAP System is to check in its search for a valid condition
record.
Example:
An access sequence has been assigned to condition type PB00 so that prices can be maintained in purchasing
info records and contracts.
No access sequence has been assigned to condition type RC00 because it does not have a validity period of its
own. In the standard system, it is always maintained simultaneously with the price and is valid for the period of the
price.
Note
In a price calculation schema (which may also be termed a "pricing procedure"), you collect together all the
condition types that are automatically to be taken into account by the SAP System in the process of price
determination with regard to a business transaction.
Note that you can only also enter manually the condition types that are contained in the calculation schema.
You can alter the result of the price determination process in the purchasing document manually. You can limit the
change options for a condition type in this step.
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
In the MM area, a calculation schema - a framework of steps used to calculate or determine something - is used
among other things to calculate costs, prices, period-end rebates, and taxes.
Note
This concept is referred to in the Sales and Distribution (SD) area as a pricing procedure.
In the calculation schema (pricing procedure), you specify which condition types are to be taken into account in
which sequence.
In the price (or cost) determination process, the SAP System automatically determines which calculation schema is
valid for a business transaction and takes into account, one after another, the condition types it contains.
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
Standard settings
The following calculation schemas are predefined in the standard system. You should not change these schemas.
Control the price determination process in POs, quotations, and scheduling agreements.
Both calculation schemas require 2 condition types for the gross price: one for automatic price determination
(standard: PB00) and one for manual maintenance (standard: PBXX).
Determine which condition types you can enter in purchasing document headers with time-dependent conditions
(e.g. contracts).
RM0002, RM1002
Determine which additional condition types you can enter in purchasing document items with time-dependent
conditions or in the purchasing info record.
RMMP00
Defines the condition type for determining the market price which can be entered for each material.
RM2000
Controls the delivery cost determination process in stock transport orders and stock transport scheduling
agreements.

"Incoterms" are international rules for the interpretation of the most commonly used terms of foreign trade.
Standard settings
In this step, you define which valuation classes are allowed for a material type.
If a user creates a material, he must enter the material's valuation class in the accounting data. The ERP system
uses your default settings to check whether the valuation class is allowed for the material type.
The valuation class is a group of materials with the same account determination. If a transaction is to be posted to
different accounts depending on the valuation class, create an account determination for each valuation class in
the step Create automatic postings.
The valuation classes allowed depend on the material type. Several valuation classes are generally allowed for
one material type. A valuation class can also be allowed for several material types.
The link between the valuation classes and the material types is set up via the account category reference.
The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is
assigned to a material type.

4.2 Valuation class configuration
In this step, you maintain all the settings for field selection by movement type. This step replaces the activity Define
Screen Layout for the Enjoy transactions. The settings from Define Screen Layout are adopted in these settings
automatically so that you do not need to maintain new entries here.
You can specify for each field whether it is an optional entry or a mandatory entry. In the table, you see all fields
that are visible. You can access the setting Field Invisible by deleting the appropriate entry from the table.
There is no distinction between different special stock indicators in these entries. Special stock fields are always
suppressed automatically.

6. Moving Average Price variance in GR
In this step, you set the tolerance limits for goods receipts.
When processing a goods receipt, the system checks each item to determine whether the goods receipt varies
from the purchase order or the material master data.
The different types of variances are defined by tolerance keys. For each tolerance key, tolerance limits can be set
per company code.
(Explanation)
For this variance, two tolerance keys are provided:
You use tolerance key B1 to define the maximum percentage variance. If the variance is greater
than the maximum variance, the system creates an error message. The user cannot post the
goods receipt.
Tolerance key B2 defines the percentage variance from which a warning message is to be
issued. It is possible to post the goods receipt.
In this step, you define account groups for vendors. When creating a vendor master record, you must specify an
account group. You use the account group to determine
which fields are ready to accept input and which fields require entries when master records are created
and changed
whether the data retention levels "sub-range" and/or "plant" are allowed for a vendor master record
Account groups allow you to group together accounts according to the above criteria. You define the account
number interval and the number assignment type using number ranges.
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
CONFIGURATION DOCUMENT
In this step, you define the number intervals of the number ranges for vendor master records.
When a vendor master record is created, a unique number identifying the master record is assigned. The number
comes from the number range provided for the account group.
Here the SAP R/3 System automatically assigns a consecutive number from the number range defined.

External number assignment
In this step, you specify whether an SD delivery is to be created in the case of a PO with a certain combination of
supplying plant and document type. You can also specify which delivery type is to be used.
The delivery type in Sales and Distribution (SD) determines how a delivery is handled. In the standard system, the
delivery type 'NL' is used for stock transfers between plants of same company code.
