Organizational structures in the SAP system allow you to map the organi-

zation of your enterprise. In this chapter, you’ll learn which structures are
needed for mapping the business processes in shipping and transportation.
You will also find out about other structures of upstream and downstream
process steps.

2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

Business application programs, regardless of whether they have been developed

with SAP software or by another software company, have to map the processes in
your enterprise. However, your enterprise consists of different structures, which
also have to be reflected in the software used. Very often, the same processes (such
as shipping) are handled differently depending on their structure. For instance,
shipping to wholesalers (complete loads, cross-docking, etc.) is different from
shipp­ing to small retailers (many small delivery quantities in a single shipment).

You can find these structures in all areas of your enterprise. However, there are
certain differences: the structure of the Shipping department, for example, is
completely different from the structure of the Financial Accounting department.
Despite this, shipping must also be reflected in financial accounting because ship-
ping not only generates a quantity flow, but also a value flow. Ultimately, all struc-
tures in your enterprise must be coordinated so that processes can run uninter-
rupted from start to finish.

This chapter introduces the structures that have a direct or indirect influence on
the shipping and transportation process. These include the logistic organizational
structures on the one hand, and the structure in your sales organization (upstream
processes) and in your warehouse (interim processes) on the other.

2.1 Logistic Organizational Structures

Each enterprise has its own specific organizational structures. In the SAP system,
these have to be mapped in a client to optimize business processes.

 2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

The top organizational unit is the enterprise itself. As a rule of thumb, each inde-
pendent accounting unit should be mapped as a company code. The next level
below the company code is the plant. At plant level, for example, you keep your
stocks and plan your goods. Plants can be located in different locations. However,
it can also make sense to define several plants for the same location, if you produce
and sell different goods in these plants. Within a plant, you often have multiple
storage locations (such as a raw materials warehouse and a shipping warehouse).

The following organizational units characterize the physical structures in an enter-

prise. The transportation planning point is the department in your enterprise that
plans and settles shipments. A transportation planning point can edit multiple
shipping points. As the name implies, shipping points are individual places from
which shipments take place. Each individual shipping point can be subdivided
into loading points. For example, you can set up an export shipment transporta-
tion planning point (where all export shipments are planned) with two shipping
points (container loading and truck loading). The truck loading shipping point can
be physically distributed across two buildings, loading point bldg. 1 and loading
point bldg. 2. The complete logistic structure is shown in Figure 2.1.

The following sections explain the organizational structures in detail.

 Logistic Organizational Structures 2.1

2.1.1 Client
A client is the highest hierarchy level in the SAP system. It contains the business
processes of the entire enterprise. Settings made at this level affect the company
codes and organizational structures. The client is not supposed to be viewed as an
organizational unit of an enterprise, but rather technically as a separate area in an
SAP system.

If you want to use an SAP system, you have to log in to a particular client. When
logging in, you have to enter your User Name, your Password, and the Language
you would like to work with. The language you use for logging in can also be saved
as the default value in your user defaults.

Although SAP system data, such as the material master, is stored as client-indepen-
dent data in a database, you can only access the data of the client you are logged
in to.

2.1.2 Company Code

Within the SAP system, an enterprise that carries out its own independent account-
ing is configured as a company code. You can perform month-end and year-end clos-
ings at this level.

However, you never have to define a company code when processing a sales order,
a delivery, or a shipment, for example. This is because you directly or indirectly
assign all other organizational units to a company code. Based on the business pro-
cess, the system can then determine the correct company code automatically.

Generally, the following values are assigned to the company code (see Figure
2.2):

EE Address data
Because the company code denotes an independent enterprise, you enter the
enterprise address here.
EE Currency key
Accounting has to be carried out in the country currency. In the SAP system,
this currency is also referred to as the local currency. If documents (for example,
outgoing invoices) are issued in a foreign currency, this currency is converted
into the local currency when the documents are entered into the accounting
system.

25

 2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

EE Country key
The country key specifies the country that is supposed to be considered the
domestic country for business processes. All business transactions with a dif-
ferent country key are considered foreign business.
EE Language key
In all documents and processes, texts are used, which can be created in multiple
languages. The language key serves to find the text in the correct language (the
national language).

2.1.3 Plant
A plant is an operating site or a subsidiary within an enterprise. You must assign
the plant to a company code, and cannot assign it to multiple company codes.
At least one plant has to have the same country key as the company code. SAP

5065_BOOK.indb 26 3/7/08 7:52:12 AM

 Logistic Organizational Structures 2.1

recommends generally creating a separate company code for each plant with a
different country key.

In the SAP system, a plant has the following characteristics:

EE Quantity-based inventory management, including distribution to storage loca-

tions
EE Inventory management on a value-only basis, if the plant has been selected as
the material valuation level
EE Planning of stocks
EE Assignment to a company code (see Figure 2.4)
EE Assignment of logistic organizational units
EE Assignment of a customer and supplier number, which are used for cross-plant
stock transfers (see Section 4.2.1)

Similar to company codes, you have to maintain the following values for plants
(see Figure 2.3):

EE Address data
The address of the plant.
EE Language key
The language key you assign to the plant.
EE Country key
The country key of the country in which the plant is located.

2.1.4 Storage Location

A storage location is the place where stocks are managed physically. In the system,
you assign a plant to the storage location. A plant can have multiple storage loca-
tions, which are physically or functionally separate. Within a plant, for example,
you can define a raw materials warehouse, a production warehouse, a finished
goods warehouse, and a delivery warehouse (see Figure 2.5).

Figure 2.5 Defining a Storage Location

In the SAP system, a storage location has the following characteristics:

EE Stocks are managed by quantity in the storage location.
EE There is no material valuation. This takes place at plant level.
EE If the Warehouse Management (WM) system is activated in the SAP system,
you can define the storage location as a WM-managed storage location and
assign a warehouse number to it.
EE Physical inventories are taken in the storage location and not at plant level.
EE You can assign an address.
You can assign the storage location to a plant when you define it. A popup opens,
in which you are prompted for a plant.

2.1.5 Shipping Point

The shipping point is a logistic organizational unit that handles the entire shipping
process. They are assigned to a specific shipping point when they are created, and
so you can plan all deliveries that have been created for a shipping point together.
In most companies, shipping points are physically separate. Different product lines
(for example, car and furniture varnishes) or different customer types (for exam-

29

5065_BOOK.indb 29 3/7/08 7:52:13 AM

 2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

ple, deliveries to hardware stores or specialized retailers) can also be processed

through different shipping points.

The shipping point is usually determined automatically when the sales order is cre-
ated, but it can be entered manually as well. You can create individual loading and
pick/pack times for each shipping point, which are then considered for shipment
scheduling. The shipping point can be taken into account for printer determina-
tion to allow shipping documents to get printed. Reports, statistics, or worklists
are selected using the shipping point. You can, for example, select deliveries wait-
ing to be shipped from your shipping point.

As you can see in Figure 2.6, there are additional shipping point settings in the
SAP system. A detailed description of these settings can be found in the sections
in which the associated processes are explained in detail.

 Logistic Organizational Structures 2.1

If you drill down further, you can subdivide the shipping point into individual
loading points. Higher up the hierarchy you have to assign the shipping point to
at least one plant. An example of this is illustrated in Figure 2.7.

2.1.6 Loading Point

In larger companies, where the shipping points are distributed across several
buildings, it can be useful to subdivide the shipping points even further into load-
ing points. One loading point, for example, could be used only for self-collectors,
whereas another one could be used for regular truck loading (see Figure 2.8). The
loading point, as such, is informal in the SAP system. It tells the shipping company
where to collect the goods.

Figure 2.8 Defining Loading Points

31

5065_BOOK.indb 31 3/7/08 7:52:14 AM

 2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

If you need to define loading points, the system prompts you to enter the ship-
ping point before you can enter the loading point. The loading point is therefore
assigned to a shipping point. If you do not need to define loading points, you can
leave it blank, and the loading point appears blank in delivery documents.

2.1.7 Transportation Planning Point

The transportation planning point maps the Shipping Planning and Shipping Sched-
uling department in an enterprise. Here, deliveries are grouped together with
shipments, they are planned and, if necessary, settled. Shipments are generally
assigned to a transportation planning point.

The transportation planning point must be assigned to a company code (see Figure
2.9). This assignment is required when the shipment costs are calculated by the
SAP system and transferred to the accounting department after the shipment has
been completed.

2.2 Warehouse-Related Organizational Structures

In addition to the structures that are relevant for logistics, there are other organi-
zational structures in an enterprise that are only indirectly related to the tasks of
the Shipping departments. There is rarely someone in a Shipping department who
does not have to answer the following questions: “Have the goods for delivery XY
already been picked?” and “Are the goods still in the warehouse?“ To be able to
answer these questions quickly and reliably, it is helpful if the employee knows
the organizational structure of the warehouse.

If you don‘t use the SAP WM component, the structures described here are not
needed.

WM is a retailing system used for managing stocks in individual storage bins. If

WM is used in a storage location, this storage location is assigned a warehouse
number, which corresponds to one or more storage locations. Within a warehouse
number, storage types are maintained. A storage type describes a physical location
within a warehouse. You have to define different storage types, if they are orga-
nized differently in terms of the warehouse processes. A fully automated high-
rack storage area, for example, is structured differently than a simple picking area,
where forklifts are used to approach the bins. Figure 2.10 provides another over-
view of the complete warehouse structure.

 2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

Within a storage type, storage areas can be defined. Structural differences of the
storage bins (high storage bins in a rack, low storage bins), for example, can result
in certain materials only being stored in certain bins (storage areas depending
on pallet height). If stocks are divided even further and are managed per pallet,
the term storage units is used in WM. This allows you to immediately see which
materials are stored in the individual storage units and in which storage bin they
are stored.

2.2.1 Warehouse Number

In WM, you define a warehouse number for a warehouse complex (building, site).
You can group together multiple storage locations and plants to a warehouse num-
ber. The stocks at warehouse number level are only recorded by quantity.

2.2.2 Storage Type

Within a warehouse complex (= warehouse number), you will find different stor-
age areas (high-rack storage areas, block storage areas, shipping deployment areas,
picking areas, etc.), which are called storage types in WM. However, even identical
storage areas that differ only in their organization have to be defined as separate
storage types (there may be shelves in a picking area that require a capacity check
at the storage bin level, whereas other shelves do not require a check).

In addition, there are interim storage areas, which can be difficult to understand,
particularly if WM has only been implemented recently. Interim storage areas (see
Figure 2.11) are not physical, but virtual storage bins. Even negative stocks are
allowed in these areas.

34

 Warehouse-Related Organizational Structures 2.2

Employees in Shipping departments mostly come across interim storage area 916.
This is the storage type from which goods issues are posted in the standard SAP
system.

2.2.3 Storage Section

Within a storage type, there are usually storage bins with different properties. Stor-
age bins with the same properties are combined into storage sections.

For example, you can combine storage bins of a certain capacity (volume or storage
weight). You can also define storage sections based on the ABC classification of the
materials. This means quicker access to fast-moving items (A materials), whereas
slow-moving items are stored at the back of the storage section. You can also group
the storage sections by hazardous materials classes or temperature sensitivity.

2.2.4 Storage Bin

In SAP WM, a storage bin is the physical location of the bin in the warehouse. In
interim storage areas, however, you can also find dynamic storage bins.

Physical storage bins are not created using Customizing. WM transactions are used
instead to create them manually. The name of a storage bin can be 10 characters
long. Dynamic storage bins are created automatically by the system when goods
receipts and goods issues are posted.

You want to pick and clear a delivery with delivery number 7480003600. After pick-
ing has been completed, the materials are located in storage type 916, storage bin
7480003600 in the system. The goods issue posting withdraws the material from this
storage bin so that this bin becomes empty and is deleted by the system.

2.2.5 Storage Unit

If you also manage your stocks in the WM system with pallets or other loading
equipment (wire baskets, metal containers, etc.), you have to configure storage
units for the relevant storage types. The quantity-based stock is then managed at
the storage bin, and additionally at pallet level.

These pallets are assigned a number in WM, the storage unit number. The number
consists of ten places. To be able to identify the unit in the system, the storage unit
number is assigned a storage unit type. The storage unit type is a three-digit key.
Figure 2.12 shows the storage unit types predefined in the standard SAP system.

2.3 Organizational Structures in Sales

Deliveries in SAP Logistics Execution System (LES) are mostly based on sales orders
or stock transport orders from the Purchasing department.

The structure of the Sales Order and Purchasing departments differs from the
structure of the Shipping department in the SAP system. This structure is reflected
in the shipping view for stock transport orders and in the header data for sales
orders.

The top structure is the actual sales organization. An enterprise often sells different
products that are processed by different organizations. Within the organization,
multiple distribution channels can exist, which are mainly based on the customer
structure (for example, processing orders with beverage wholesalers or directly
with restaurants and hotels). Based on the material structure, the sales organiza-
tion can be subdivided into several divisions (for example, alcoholic beverages and
accessories). These structures are shown in Figure 2.13.

37

5065_BOOK.indb 37 3/7/08 7:52:16 AM

 2 Organizational Structures in Logistics

You can also structure the Sales department or the order processing physically
in the SAP system. Using the sales offices, you can reflect the physically separate
responsibilities for sales orders. Within a sales office, you can establish different
sales groups.

2.3.1 Sales Organization

The sales organization is the organizational unit in an enterprise responsible for the
sale of certain goods. The most important features of a sales organization are:

EE It contains separate material master data and customer master data.

EE It belongs to a company code.
EE It is assigned to at least one plant.
EE It is assigned all items of a sales document (and also of a delivery note).

38

5065_BOOK.indb 38 3/7/08 7:52:17 AM

 Organizational Structures in Sales 2.3

Even though the sales organization does not play a major role in logistic sales and
distribution documents, it is helpful for the user to know about this organizational
unit.

In the beverages industry, two sales organizations could be considered: One deals with
the actual sales of beverages, the other is responsible for the sales and maintenance of
promotional material and restaurant supplies (for example, glasses, coasters, draft beer
dispensing equipment, billboards, etc.).

2.3.2 Distribution Channel

Within a sales organization, you must define the distribution channels, which is
based on the customer structure (for example, retail or wholesale). The most
important features of a distribution channel are:

EE It is assigned to one or more sales organizations.

EE It is assigned to one or more plants.
EE It contains separate material master data and customer master data. If the mas-
ter data for each distribution channel is the same, you can also enter the data
for a general distribution channel.
EE At the distribution channel level, price determination can be undertaken sepa-
rately.

In the beverages industry, you could define one distribution channel for the delivery to
wholesalers, and another one for direct delivery to restaurants and hotels.

2.3.3 Division
A division is an organizational unit that is based on the material structure in your
enterprise. Using divisions, you can define materials with the same sales orienta-
tion. In addition, a division in the material master is used to carry out the business
area account assignment for logistic processes in financial accounting together
with the plant. The most important features of a division are:

EE It is assigned to one or more sales organizations and to one or more distribution

channels (see Figure 2.14).
EE The material is always assigned to a division.
EE It contains separate customer master data.
EE At division level, price determination can be performed separately.

In the beverages sales organization, you will find the three divisions: mineral water, fruit
juices, and alcoholic drinks. This allows for several combinations. The mineral water
division, for example, can be processed via the wholesale distribution channel or can be
sold directly to restaurants and hotels.

2.3.4 Sales Office

You configure the organizational units in your enterprise, which are considered
physically or functionally separate, as sales offices in the SAP system. Configuring
sales offices is not mandatory. However, if you configure sales offices, you must
assign each sales office to one or more sales organizations, distribution channels,
and divisions (see Figure 2.15).

The sales office has no additional function in the SAP system, which would have
an impact on business processes. However, you can maintain a sales office in the
sales documents. This allows you to select sales documents by sales offices.

For beverage sales, you configure a sales office for northern and central Germany, and
another sales office for southern Germany.

Organizationally, the sales office can be subdivided even further into sales groups.
The sales groups have the same features in the SAP system as the sales offices.
They are not necessarily required for the business process flow. Sales groups are
assigned to the sales offices.

The sales office handling southern Germany is divided into three sales groups. One sales
group is only in charge of the cities of Munich and Stuttgart, the other sales group looks
after customers in the rest of southern Germany. The third group is responsible for de-

2.4 Summary

This chapter has provided an overview of the logistic organizational units. You now
know the relevance and tasks of the individual units and how they relate to each other.
You have also learned about the organizational structures that do not directly
belong to the shipping and transportation system, but are a part of the upstream
processes (organizational structure of sales and distribution) and warehouse pro-
cesses (organizational structure of a warehouse in WM).
The next chapter covers the master data that is required for processes in the ship-
ping and transportation system.
