2. Business Scenario
A-Z International is a Multi National Company having its head quarters in India. It is into the
manufacturing of Confectionary, Wind Energy and Computer Peripherals. Currently it is having its
presence in 6 countries across the globe, namely
India
Australia
South Africa
England
United States of America and
Brazil
A-Z International operates under the name of three groups namely
ABC International group, having presence in 4 countries as
ABC India Limited, manufacturing, Confectionary and Wind Energy
ABC Australia Limited, manufacturing, Computer Peripherals
ABC UK Ltd, manufacturing, Wind Energy and
ABC USA Ltd, manufacturing, Computer Peripherals
NEC Japan5 of 35
UVW International Group, having presence in 5 countries as
UVW Australia Limited, manufacturing, Confectionary
UVW UK Ltd, manufacturing, Computer Peripherals
UVW Brazil Ltd, manufacturing, Confectionary
UVW South Africa Ltd, manufacturing, Confectionary and
UVW USA Ltd, manufacturing, Wind Energy
XYZ International Group, having presence in 3 countries as
XYZ South Africa Limited, manufacturing, Confectionary and Computer
Peripherals
XYZ Brazil Limited, manufacturing, Confectionary and
XYZ USA Limited, manufacturing, Confectionary and Wind energy.
A-Z International has to report its financial statements for each of its 3 groups separately.
Also A-Z International has to prepare the financial statements for each group in each country. For
example, ABC International Group has to prepare the Profit and Loss and balance sheet for each
of the country where it has its presence.
A Z international also wants the financial statements at the 3 regional levels of Americas, Europe / Africa and Asia Pacific.
Finally for international reporting requirements, it should also give the segmental financial
statements for the various segments of business it is into, like Confectionary, Wind Energy and
Computer Peripherals.
Apart from these external reporting requirements, A-Z International for its internal management
purposes, wants to see the profitability of each of its manufacturing plants and the financial status
of the plant by preparing the financial statements at the plant level.
They would also like to know the profitability of each of its product level and to
have an overall control of the operations throughout the world.
They are planning to implement SAP and would like your assistance in modeling their
requirement in SAP.

3. Organizational units
3.1.1. Definition
Elements of the SAP System logical structure, important for Financial Accounting and Controlling
3.1.2. Business Use / Purpose
Organizational units in Financial Accounting and Controlling are used to structure
business functions and for reporting.
The organizational units of Financial Accounting are used for external reporting purposes,
that is, they fulfill requirements that your business is subject to from external parties, for
example, legal regulations.
The organizational units of Controlling are used for internal reporting purposes, that is,
they fulfill requirements that your business is subject to from internal parties, for example,
Management.
Management based reports can be readily taken from controlling.
You assign organizational units from the Financial Accounting component to the units in the
Controlling component. This enables you to transfer postings relevant to cost accounting on to
Controlling.

4. Definition of Organizational Units
4.1. Client
4.1.1. Definition
A Technically self-contained unit within an SAP System.
Clients have their own independent set of master records and set of tables. The definition of the
client organizational unit is obligatory.
4.1.2. Business Purpose / Use
Figure 1: SAP System Hardware can have more than one Client
The client is the highest level in the SAP System hierarchy. An SAP user normally creates more
than one client. For example, the normal practice is to create a 3 client structure in an SAP
system. They would be
Development Client: For making the necessary customization changes
Quality Client: For moving the customization changes made in the development client
and test it before sending it to the Production Client
Production Client: The client in which the actual day to day activities are recorded.
Business Scenario
ABC Ltd is using SAP and they have the server to house and run SAP. They want to use SAP for
their day to day operations and transactions. Also in case of any new business requirements and
changes to processes, they would like to first test if SAP is effectively accommodating this
requirement.
To enable this, the SAP server is split into 3 clients viz. the Development Client, Quality Client
and Production client.
NEC Japan8 of 35
Each client in itself is an independent environment, with its own set of Master data. The day to
day transactions are done in the Production client. The change to the SAP customization to
accommodate the new requirement is done in the development client so that the day to day
operations are not affected. The customization changes is then transported to the Quality client to
test if it satisfies ABC ltds requirement and if it does, then they would finally transfer it to the
Production client.
Please note that all the clients are in the same server. They are just information compartments in
the same server.
4.1.3. Configuration / Usage considerations
A hardware system can have more than one client created in it.
Specifications that the user makes, or data that is entered at this level are valid for all
company codes and for all other organizational structures. Therefore there is a need to
make these specifications, or enter this data only once. This ensures that the data is
consistent.
Customizing could be client specific or client independent.
User must enter a client key when they log on to the SAP System. This defines the client
in which they wish to work.
All the entries made are saved per client. Data processing and analysis is also carried out
per client.
The SAP System is delivered with the clients 000 and 001 - these clients already contain
default settings.
The client is normally created by the BASIS team of the SAP implementation.
4.1.4. Demonstration
Demo 1: Logging on to a client
Enter the client needed to work
Enter User ID and Password and click Enter
Result
The user is now logged on to the particular client of the SAP system.

4.1.5. Self Assessment Test
1. One SAP Hardware system can house only one client at any point of time
a. True
b. False
2. Every client has its own set of master data
a. True
b. False
4.1.6. Tasks
1. List down the various clients that are available in the presentation system
2. Log on to the Client ___ of the SAP presentation system
4.1.7. Solutions
1. Double click on the SAP Logon Icon, select the server and click on Logon. On the right
see the list of all the clients that are available in the server.
2. For logging on to the client ___
Click on Enter to log on to the client.
NEC Japan10 of 35 Field Details to be filled Client ___ User Name XXXXX Password XXXXX
4.2. Company code
4.2.1. Definition
Smallest organizational unit of external accounting for which a complete, self-contained set of
accounts can be created. This includes the entry of all transactions that must be posted and the
creation of all items for legal individual financial statements, such as the balance sheet and the
profit and loss statement.
4.2.2. Business Purpose / Use
The definition of the company code organizational unit is obligatory.
Usually a legally independent company in the SAP System is created with one company
code. However, a company code can be defined according to other criteria also.
If the need is to manage the accounting for several independent companies
simultaneously, several company codes can be set up in one client. At least one
company code must be set up in each client.
Figure 2: A company code is an independent accounting entity
4.2.3. Configuration considerations
Normally the copy company code function is used to create a new company code with reference
to an existing company code. In case the company code uses the same GL accounts and the
currency of the reference company code, then the same has to be mentioned at the time of the
creation of the company code so that the system copies them also.
Business Scenario
In the above scenario, to satisfy the requirement of preparing the financial statements for each
group in each country, A-Z International could create each group in each country as a separate
company code. Thus the following company codes would be created for A-Z International:

4.3. Company
4.3.1. Definition
The smallest organizational unit for which individual financial statements are created according to
the relevant legal requirements. A company can include one or more company codes.
The definition of the company organizational unit is optional.
Figure 3: More than one company code is assigned with the same Company ID for
Consolidated Financial Statements
4.3.2. Business Purpose / Use
For the purpose of the consolidation of more than one company codes, the organizational unit of
Company is used.
4.3.3. Configuration considerations
A companys financial statements also form the basis of consolidated financial statements. All of
the company codes within a company must use the same chart of accounts and fiscal year.
However, each company code can have a different local currency. The companies must be
assigned to the company codes.
Business Scenario
In the above business scenario, for the consolidated financial statements at each group level,
each group is created as a Company in SAP and each of the company codes belonging to the
group are assigned to the Company. Thus A-Z International would have 3 Company IDs and the
structure would be as below:

4.4. Business Area
4.4.1. Definition
Organizational unit of external accounting that corresponds to a specific business segment or
area of responsibility in a company. Movements in value entered in Financial Accounting are
assigned to business areas. A complete set of Financial statements can be drawn up at the
Business area level.
4.4.2. Business Purpose / Use
Financial statements can be created for business areas for internal purposes. The definition of
the business area organizational unit is optional.
Figure 4: Company codes and Business Areas
Business areas are used in external segment reporting (over and above company codes), based
on the significant areas of operation of a company (for example, product lines, branches).
4.4.3. Configuration considerations
If business areas are defined, the transaction figures for the G/L accounts are managed
separately for internal evaluation purposes. Thus financial statements for business areas can be
created.
NEC Japan19 of 35
Figure 5: Relationship between Company code and Business Area
The relationship between Company codes and Business areas is n:n i.e., a business area can be
used by more than one company code and similarly, one company code can use more than one
business area.
Business Scenario
In the above business Scenario of A-Z International, to satisfy the requirement of the Trade
regulations and Commerce purposes, they could use the Business Area concept to prepare the
financial statements at the following three levels:
Americas
Europe / Africa
Asia Pacific
The concept of Business area can be used here because, each region has more than one
company code and Business area has a 1 to many relationship with company codes.

4.5. Profit Center
4.5.1. Definition
A profit center is an organizational unit in accounting that reflects a management-oriented
structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control. It can be also used as an
investment center and the return on the investment can be measured at the Profit Center level.
4.5.2. Business Purpose / Use
Profit center could represent each of the plants of the company or it could represent the divisions
of the company etc. where the management would require to see the profitability and fix the
responsibility. In ECC 6.0, a complete set of Financial statements at the Profit center level can be
drawn online, using the document splitting functionality.
4.5.3. Configuration Considerations
Every profit center is assigned to the controlling area organizational unit. This assignment is
necessary because Profit Center Accounting displays values in G/L accounts. The profit center
can be used by all the company codes that use the same controlling area.
NEC Japan25 of 35
Figure 6: Relationship between Controlling area, Company code and Profit Center
Business Scenario
In the above business scenario, for assessing the profitability of the Manufacturing plants, A-Z
International can create each of its Manufacturing plant in the various countries as Profit Centers.

4.6. Controlling Area
4.6.1. Definition
Organizational unit in an organization that represents a closed system used for cost accounting
purposes.
4.6.2. Business Purpose / Use
Internal business transactions are portrayed in the controlling area. Costs are transferred from
external accounting and classified according to managerial accounting perspectives.
The level of detail provided by the Controlling component enables to track specific information for
cost monitoring, business decisions and sales control. For example, the Controlling component
contains subdivisions such as cost centers and internal orders in addition to accounts.
4.6.3. Configuration Considerations
A controlling area may contain one or more company codes, which can operate in different
currencies, if required. The company codes within a controlling area must all use the same
operational chart of accounts.
Business Scenario

4.7. Operating Concern
4.7.1. Definition
An operating concern represents an organizational unit in a company for which the sales market
has a uniform structure. It is the valuation level for Profitability Analysis. By setting off the costs
against the revenues, operating profit can be calculated for the individual market segments that
are defined by a combination of classifying characteristics (such as product group, customer
group, country, or distribution channel). The market segments are called profitability segments.
4.7.2. Business Purpose / Use
In case a company wants to see the profitability of a particular customer or the profitability of a
particular product or the profitability of a customer across various product, then it could use
Profitability analysis. The Customer and Product would then be created as Characteristics so that
the evaluation of the profitability could happen at that level.
4.7.3. Configuration Considerations
It is possible to assign multiple controlling areas to one operating concern.
Figure 9: Model Profitability segment
An operating concern is structured by selecting
