Portrayal 1 

The tiles representing the instances that are related to each other are stacked at right angles and overlap each other. Since there is no defined direction, you decide the order to stack the tiles. This section provides examples of different tile portrayals.

 

This portrayal is useful in cases where one instance of an R/3 System organizational unit has relationships with several instances of another R/3 System organizational unit and if the intersection of the overlapping tiles provides further context. The following example shows how this can be used to good effect.

The tiles below illustrate how meaningful relationships between company code, sales organization, and divisions can be represented.

 

There are several possible reasons for choosing this portrayal:

· You may define divisions for more than one company code, but you can only assign a sales organization to one company code. Sales organizations may sell materials from several divisions. You may display both relationships in graphic form.

- Place the tile that represents the sales organization on top of and within the tile that represents the company code to which the sales organization is assigned.

- If a sales organization sells materials from a division, the tile for the division should overlap the tile for the sales organization.

· A sales area is set up for each valid combination of division, distribution channel and sales organization.

- To represent the sales area and its assignments in graphic form, it is best to place distribution channels and divisions orthogonally to the sales organizations. Sales areas can then be placed over the intersections.
