Before we go ahead and create an Organizational Structure, lets have a quick look at the

terminology used in the organization structure.

Structures in SAP HCM
1. Organizational structure.

1. Organizational structure& 't contains organizational o()ects *elements. +hese are called
(uilding elements.
Organizational objects / elements are:
Organizational objects Org. key
Organizational unit O
,o( -
#osition S
#erson #
-ost center .
+ask +
+ask grou! +s
'f we create any organizational o()ect, System will assign a eight digit numeric num(er, which is
called unique /um(er.
1. Organizational Unit& 0e!resents a functional unit in your enter!rise, 1uman 0esources
de!artment, for e2am!le. $ccording to how tasks are divided u! within an enter!rise, this could
(e a de!artment, grou! or !ro)ect team, !lant, for e2am!le. Organizational units differ from other
units in an enter!rise such as !ersonnel areas, com!any codes, (usiness areas etc. +hese are
used to de!ict structures 3administration or accounting, for e2am!le4 in the corres!onding
com!onents.
in!s o" organizational units
A#. Main Organizational unit / $oot organizational unit& %hatever the organization we
create for the first time is called 5ain organizational unit.
B4. Sub organizational unit& 6nder 5ain org. unit whatever we create is called su( org.units.

e2am!le4, which are defined (y the assignment of characteristics. ,o(s serve as )o( descri!tions
that a!!ly to several !ositions with similar tasks or characteristics.
,o(s are used as tem!lates to create #ositions that means to say without a )o( we cant
create a !osition.

Organizational structure can (e created in three !rocedures.
1. Sim!le 5aintenance

other two !rocedures.
'f we create organizational structure in Sim!le maintenance and Organization and Staffing the
relationshi! (etween the o()ects are assigned (y the system. %here as in detailed 5aintenance
the user has to assign the relationshi! code.
+he relationshi! (etween two o()ects is e2!ressed in three digit numeric characters.
ach and every relation can (e e2!ressed in two ways.
1. +o! down which is indicated with B
