Organizational Units

​

Organizational Management is a means for creating and managing the organizational and staffing structures in a company that use an organizational model as its basis.

In Transportation Management (TM), the organizational structure consists of the following organizational units:

  • Corporate organization: This organization unit is optional and serves as a single entry point into the organization's structure in TM.
  • Company organization: This organization unit corresponds to the ERP company code containing the local currency. The company organization unit is used by transportation charge management (TCM) for invoicing and charging.
  • Sales organization, office, and group (not relevant for basic shipping)
  • Purchase organization and group
  • Planning and execution organization and group

Organizational Units Various transportation tasks are assigned to different people in an organization.

  • TM enables you to structure these staffing concepts with the help of organizational models. Other TM concepts, such as the use of workflow mechanisms, rely on these models to assign tasks to individuals who participate in these workflows.
  • TM is a system especially designed for transportation.
  • Due to the particularities of the business, TM offers a modified organizational model that is easy to maintain.

​

The following are characteristics of Organizational Units in SAP TM:

  • Organizational units are used to represent the organizational structure of a company. A company may be structured based on different points of view, such as sales, planning and execution, or purchasing of freight services.
  • These units also build a framework in which all relevant business processes can be processed.
  • Organizational units are used to determine responsibilities; for example, for approval processes.
  • Organizational units are used to allocate revenue and costs to different groups within a company, such as profit or cost centers.
  • Organizational units in SAP TM can be maintained independently of SD (sales and distribution) and MM (materials management). The organizational structure in SD, MM and TM can be different.
  • Organizational units define the responsible persons who are allowed to see the data or to perform certain actions (authorization).
  • Organizational units can be determined automatically based on predefined conditions.
