Creating an Organizational Unit (SAP Library - Training Management in the SAP Learning Solution)

Creating an Organizational Unit

Use

In Training Management, organizational units can be internal training providers for the company’s training and education needs, and they can also be participants of courses or course owners.

Organizational units are created in the Organizational Plan component (PA-OS). Their integration in the organizational structure is of significance there.

Before you create a new unit, check to see that it does not already exist. When you create a new organizational unit, you assign it to the required place in the existing organizational structure.

Prerequisites

If you want to use this training provider and participant type, you must have the Organizational Plan component (PA-OS) installed. You must also ensure that you are using the active plan version for integrated use.
