Object documentationOrganizational Plan

 

Representation of the task-related, functional structure of your enterprise, created using tools from the Organizational Management component.

The organizational plan differs from the administrative enterprise or personnel structure, whose structural elements are relevant to Payroll or Accounting (company code, personnel subarea, or employee group, for example). These structures are found in their corresponding components.

 

You can create several organizational plans in different plan versions. This provides you with the following options

in Organizational Management:

  • In one plan version, you depict your current valid organizational plan, which you use for your current business processes (evaluations, Workflow, personnel planning, for example).

  • In additional plan versions, you can depict organizational plans as planning scenarios (for Business Process Re-Engineering, for example).

You can compare the current organizational plan with the planning scenarios and transfer data from the simulated structures into the current organizational plan.

Structure

You normally create organizational plans by assigning objects of the following types to each other:

If you are using your organizational plan for Workflow, the following object types are also available:

The main elements of an organizational plan are

  • An organizational structure, which depicts the reporting structure and task distribution at the organizational unit (for example, department) level

  • Staff assignments for each organizational unit, which list current persons (employees), users, and vacancies

Integration

Organizational plans are generally related to objects from other components.

  • If Integration with Personnel Administration is active, the personal data for the staff assignments comes from the Personnel Administration component.

    These functional (organizational plan) and administrative (personnel and enterprise structures) structures come into contact if a person is assigned to an organizational plan (as the holder of a position) as well as to an enterprise or personnel structure (that is, to a personnel subarea and so on).

  • If the enterprise organization is active, account assignment data can be obtained from Controlling.
