This example illustrates the process for setting up country-specific organizational units.

Assume that you have three companies, one each in the United States, France, and the Philippines. Each company is to be represented in the SAP System with its own company code, and each has a number of dependent organizational units (for example, sales organizations, plants, and storage locations).

To set up the organizational units required by each of these organizations, you would proceed as follows:

1. You run the Country Installation Program for the United States.

The report applies the country template for the United States to the sample organizational units.

2. You create a copy of the sample organizational units that you want under new names; the company code, for example, you call USAA.

Company code USAA contains all the country template settings for the United States. It is this company code that you will use in the future.

3. You run the Country Installation Program for France.

Again, the report changes all the settings in the sample organizational units, this time using the country template for France. The sample organizational units, which are still configured for the United States, are overwritten with the settings for France.

4. You create a copy of the sample organizational units; the company code you rename FRAA.

This company code contains all the country template settings for France.

5. You run the Country Installation Program for the Philippines.
6. You create a copy of the sample organizational units; the company code you rename PHAA.

At the end of this exercise, you have three company codes, USAA, FRAA, and PHAA, plus the other dependent organizational units.
