Data Exchange for Organizational Data

Use
Within the CRM system group, organizational data (for example, sales
organization, distribution channel) must be available in all systems in order that
the exchange of master data and documents is possible. Additionally,
organizational data must be maintained consistently in all systems concerned.
If you use an R/3 System with CRM, the following organizational data is
transferred from the R/3 System to your organizational model in your CRM
System:

Sales organization
Sales office
Sales group
Distribution Channel
Division

Default combinations of distribution channels and divisions are not transferred during this
organizational data transfer. You must manually maintain them in the CRM transaction
ppoma_crm (organizational model maintenance). The system automatically copies the default
combinations maintained here to your CRM Customizing tables. Double maintenance is not
necessary.

Before you transfer the data or create it manually, you must decide which organizational
model you want to use in the CRM system. You can further information under Enhanced
Backend Integration Version of CRM Organizational Model.
Features
To ensure that the required organizational data is available in all systems
concerned, you can transfer organizational data in CRM from one system to
another. The following possibilities are available:

Copying the sales structure from the R/3 System to CRM Enterprise

You can transfer sales areas as well as sales offices and sales groups from R/3 to CRM with
one program. After transfer, it is often necessary to post-process the structure.
You can find further information under copying the sales structure from R/3 to CRM
Enterprise.
Creating the organizational model manually in CRM Enterprise.
This can be useful, if you only wish to use a part of the sales areas from the R/3 System in
CRM.
Distributing the organizational plan from the R/3 HR System using ALE
This can be useful if you use Organizational Management in the OLTP R/3 System, for
example with SAP Workflow, and you have already created a detailed organizational model.
You can find further information under Distributing the organizational plan from R/3 HR
with ALE. See also SAP Note 312090.
