Choose Organizational Area
You can use organizational areas to structure the characteristics of a class according to application areas in your company.
There are three steps to maintaining organizational areas:
1. In Customizing for the Classification System, you define organizational areas for each class type.
2. You enter the organizational areas of the class type in a class.
3. You assign the organizational areas of the class to the characteristics of the class.
The following graphic shows an example of organizational areas in a class, with the characteristics of the class and the objects assigned to the class.

If you work in purchasing, you can display characteristics for organizational area PURCHASING. You only see the characteristics that are relevant to purchasing.
Required Characteristics
If you only display the characteristics that are relevant to your application, characteristics that have the Entry required indicator may be hidden. You can save your classifications by setting Incomplete status. The assignment cannot have Released status until values are assigned to all characteristics with the Entry required indicator, regardless of the organizational area.
Authorization Objects for Organizational Areas
While Displaying and Maintaining Characteristics
The two authorization objects C_TCLS_BER and C_TCLS_MNT are for organizational areas:
On the value assignment screen, you only see characteristics for the organizational areas that are entered in your user master record for authorization object C_TCLS_BER.
If this authorization object is not in use, you see characteristics for all organizational areas.
You can only set or change values for these characteristics if your user master record contains authorization object C_TCLS_MNT with activity 23 for the organizational area.
