SAP C4C - Organizational Management

Organizational Management (OM) provides the central source of organizational information in SAP C4C. It is used for creating the organizational structure and provides a graphical representation of an organization chart. In addition, it shows the different entities and aspects of the company. SAP C4C accesses OM whenever business processes require information related to the company’s organization.

To set up a correct organization structure, you should follow −

• Time Dependency − All the information stored is time dependent, as you need to enter a valid from and to date.

• Active Version vs Planning Version − You can also select between the planning version and the active version of the organizational information.

• Consistency Checks − You can perform some checks, which help in maintaining OM all the time.

• Partial Activation − You can also activate an organizational structure in parts, while continuing to work with other parts.
