Maintain organizational structure and organization properties. An existing company (which is always the top-level organization) can be divided into smaller units - sub-level organizations, e.g. based on geographical, functional or administrational allocation. The ‘Our organization’ node is not reflected in SAP FSM, it’s an artificial informational entity.
Create a new organization
To create a new organization below an existing entity, select a chosen entry and click the ‘Add organization’ button, as shown below.
Enter the organization’s ID, and then its name and description. Make sure the Organization’s status is set to ‘ENABLED’ and its validation dates are maintained.
Company data
Each company is an organization but not all the organizations are companies, therefore the ‘Company data’ block can be edited only for actual company entries. Currently, this block serves the same function as transaction /PACG/ECM_COMP - Company definition.
Transfer to SAP FSM
New or changed organizations should be transferred to SAP FSM with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_ORG - Send Organization.
After transfer, all the organizations can be found in the SAP FSM Admin module of a given company, tab ‘Organizational Levels’.
Deletion
Deleting an organization results in deletion of all its sub-organizations. This is communicated by a message box displayed after clicking the ‘Delete organization’ button.
Feature prerequisites
Maintain permission settings in SAP FSM
User Groups permissions in SAP FSM should be customized to apply to objects in the same organization level (or objects in the same and child organization levels). It should be done for each relevant CRUD action of each relevant object type.
User role allocation
Users meant to be affected by organizational structure should be assigned to a specific organization in transaction /PACG/ECM_MAINT_USER - E4C users with addresses, view Organization Level allocation.
Object assignment
Objects meant to be handled within an organizational structure unit (and by users assigned to a specific organization) should be assigned to a plant, sales area or personnel area (depending on an object) using the organization’s ID as Company ID.
