Procedure documentation Releasing Organizational Structure Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

Once you have maintained organizational units (OUs) and hierarchy relationships, you have to release these structures. This involves the system checking that the hierarchy structure is consistent. The system sets the release indicator in the master data of each correct OU.

You can only use released OUs in subsequent functions.

In response to the release operation, the system outputs a release log. If errors occurred, this log records the reason for the various errors and the identification key of the OUs which could not be released. You cannot use OUs which have not been released nor the OUs subordinate to these OUs in the hierarchy.

Note

When you release the organizational hierarchy, although the system checks that the assignment of building units to organizational units is consistent it does not release the building units. To release building units, you have to release the building hierarchy.

The system cancels the release indicator if you make the following changes to OUs that have already been released:

Here the system cancels the release indicator only for OUs that are directly concerned by the change. However, you can no longer use OUs that are below this OU in the organizational hierarchy. To release these OUs again, you have to release the entire organizational structure once more.

Procedure

  1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Hospital ® Basic Data Administration ® Hospital Structure ® Organizational Structure ® Release Structure.

    2. The IS-H Release Organizational Units for Institution screen appears.

  2. Specify the institution for which you want to release the organizational structure.

    3. You can release the organizational structure in live or test mode.

    If you select test mode, the system performs the consistency checks without actually releasing the OUs. You can stipulate the scope of the checks in test mode. For instance, if you only wish to check the consistency of the organizational hierarchy, select Org. Hierarchy and deselect the other options.

    If you release the organizational units in live mode, the system checks all of the elements of the organizational structure and releases the OUs. To enable this mode, deselect Test and select all of the check options.

  3. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

    4. If you ran the program in test mode, the system displays the results of the checks in the log.

    If you ran the program in live mode, the system releases the organizational structure and then displays the log. The log shows which OUs have been released and which have not been released.

  4. To exit the program, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.
