Use

So that you can define rules using organizational data, you must create and edit assignments between SAP Organizational Objects and Organizational Management organizational objects.

Example

You want to restrict the task of buying certain materials to certain individuals within a specific organizational unit. This is achieved by creating an assignment between a purchasing group (purchasing groups are SAP Organizational Object Types ) and an organizational unit.

You can create assignments between any object classified as an SAP Organizational Object, and the Organizational Management objects (organizational units, positions, jobs, and work centers). You apply a validity period to these assignments, so that changes in responsibility can be shown.

Prerequisites

The SAP organizational object types must be defined in the Business Object Repository. For more information, see Structure link Editing the Basic Data of an Object Type.

In Organizational Management Customizing you must specify which Organizational Management objects can be assigned to an organizational object type. For more information, see Structure link Organizational Management Administration.

If you want to assign an organizational object type to an Organizational Management object that is not an organizational unit (for example, job or position), you must know an organizational unit in which it is used. Organizational Management objects to be assigned are always selected via an organizational unit.

Procedure

Note

Assignments between SAP organizational objects and objects from Organizational Management can also be created in Infotype 1208, or using the function module RH_SAP_ORG_OBJEC_RELATE .
