Organizational Plan

Definition
Representation of the task-related, functional structure of your enterprise, created using tools from the
Organizational Management component.
The organizational plan differs from the administrative enterprise or personnel structure, whose
structural elements are relevant to Payroll or Accounting (company code, personnel subarea, or
employee group, for example). These structures are found in their corresponding components.

Use
You can create several organizational plans in different
plan versions. This provides you with the following options in

Organizational Management:

In one plan version, you depict your current valid organizational plan, which you use for your
current business processes (evaluations, Workflow, personnel planning, for example).

In additional plan versions, you can depict organizational plans as planning scenarios (for
Business Process Re-Engineering, for example).

You can compare the current organizational plan with the planning scenarios and transfer data from
the simulated structures into the current organizational plan.

Structure
You normally create organizational plans by assigning objects of the following types to each other:

Organizational Unit

Position

Job

Task
If you are using your organizational plan for Workflow, the following object types are also available:

Standard task

Workflow template

Task group

The main elements of an organizational plan are

An

organizational structure, which depicts the reporting structure and task distribution at the
organizational unit (for example, department) level

Staff assignments for each organizational unit, which list current persons (employees), users, and
vacancies

Integration
Organizational plans are generally related to objects from other components.

If

Integration with Personnel Administration is active, the personal data for the staff assignments
comes from the Personnel Administration component.
These functional (organizational plan) and administrative (personnel and enterprise
structures) structures come into contact if a person is assigned to an organizational plan (as
the holder of a position) as well as to an enterprise or personnel structure (that is, to a
personnel subarea and so on).

If the enterprise organization is active, account assignment data can be obtained from
Controlling.
