Recommendation

The definition of the organizational units is one of the most important activities when introducing the SAP System. According to the complexity of your organizational structure and the SAP components with which you work, you must first analyze the outcome that determining organizational units has on the other SAP components. The complete representation of a complex organizational structure should first be discussed with your consultant.
The SAP standard system contains controlling area "0001", to which company code "0001" is assigned. Default settings such as the definition of number ranges are already maintained for these organizational units.
You are recommended to copy the controlling area "0001" and the company code "0001" and to adjust these copies to your specific requirements. For example, you can use the country installation program to make the appropriate country-specific setting for your country.
Use these copies as your productive controlling area and productive company code.
