Example: Organizational Structure

In this organizational structure example, divisions are the highest level of the hierarchy. Regions are the second highest level, and groups are the next highest level. Lower levels of some parts of the structure do not appear in this diagram.

To create this organizational structure, assign a sequence of 1 to the category code that represents divisions, a sequence of 2 to the category code that represents regions, and a sequence of 3 to the category code that represents groups.

You can use the tree structure format to expand or collapse levels of the structure as you review it. The Organizational Structure form shows only the top level of the structure after you collapse the lower levels. The structure has not changed. Only the way it appears on the form has changed.

You can also use the tree structure format to revise the organizational structure. The following example shows the structure after you move business unit 5500 from the Eastern region to the Central region. The system changes the value of the category code for the region from Eastern to Central for business unit 5500 and updates the Business Unit Master table (F0006).
