CONFIGURATION OF ES
This article will look at the enterprise structure in SAP S/4 HANA. Every organization or every company has its system; if I take the example of Tata Group, Tata Group is a group of companies. Tata’s are into Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Tata Chemicals, Tata Consumer Products, etc.
Here our client is Tata; it will have different types of companies mentioned above. Every company will be represented with different company codes. Now each company may have a different location /branch. E.g., TCS = Gujarat, Pune, and Mumbai. These locations in SAP are denoted as Plant. A plant can be a manufacturing unit, Corporation head, or Office unit. These plants will have different storage locations where the material is physically stored. The material can be raw materials, finished materials, or semi-finished materials. We have one more level, which is between the Company code and Plant, known as the purchase organization, which is responsible for procuring material and negotiation.
In SAP, Company is at the highest on the hierarchy; company codes, plant, and storage locations are below.
We create enterprises, plants, and storage facilities. The client, or enterprise, is something that all modules have in common and is necessary for all modules. The FI module is used to define the Company code. The MM module describes the storage site, while the Plant is defined in MM.
At the plant level, the majority of MM transactions take place.
Let’s define these components now. We can assign links between them after the definition.
Let’s define and assign each step by step:
DEFINITION
