The SAP R/3 system offers graphics tools that allow users who use different R/3 application components to display and work with information.

Organizational Management includes the following graphics tools:

• Structural Graphics
• Statistical Graphics
• Business Graphics

Use these tools to display different types of information in different components of Human Resources (HR).

When you use Structural Graphics the system displays information in hierarchical structures. In Organizational Management for example, you can display organizational structures, reporting structures and business event structures. Structural Graphics also allows you to maintain structures (create, change, delimit, and so on).

When you use Statistical Graphics the system displays information in a two-dimensional line graph. Use Statistical Graphics to compare figures and statistics. For example, in the Qualifications and Requirements component of HR, you can request a report that compares the qualifications of an employee with the requirements of a position. This information is shown in a statistical display.

When you use Business Graphics the system displays information using three- or four-dimensional graphs. For example, in the Personnel Cost Planning component of HR you can request a report that breaks down personnel costs based on organizational units. Business Graphics displays costs for selected organizational units in a three-dimensional bar graph.
