The Structure Modeler allows you to portray your business structure scenarios using tiles.

Each instance of an organizational unit in the R/3 System is visualized as a colored tile. Tiles representing instances of the same R/3 System organization unit share the same color.

The illustration shows the tiles used for the selected R/3 System organization units. You look at the enterprise structure and the system infrastructure together, so you portray both the physical R/3 System and the clients.

You give each instance you would like to portray in the graphic its own tile.

You arrange the tiles to reflect the relationships between these instances.

You usually use the tiles to model specific views of structure scenarios, for presentations for example. You may model specific views of structure scenarios by portraying selected organizational units. For example, you could portray three of twenty companies in the group. You may also portray specific views of structure scenarios by building a comprehensive model of R/3 organizational units. Each view only contains the instances of R/3 organizational units that are important for you. An instance of a System organizational unit can appear in several views. For example, the company code is important both in a consolidation view and in a logistics view. The consultant responsible must ensure that the contents of the model are correct.
