Understanding How to Define and Build Organization Report Structures

To define an organization report structure, you assign category codes to business units using the Organization Structure Definition program (P0050B). The values of the category codes that you assign determine where the business unit appears in the hierarchy. This program updates the Business Unit Structure Build File table (F0050B).

After you define your organization report structure, run the Organization Structure Build program (R10450) to build it.

You can run the Organization Structure Build program in proof or final mode. In proof mode, the system prints a report that shows the changes that occur when you run the report in final mode. In proof mode, any business units that are dynamically created appear on the report as a concatenation of category codes, regardless of the setting of the BU Creation processing options.

In final mode, the system dynamically creates business units either by using next numbers or by concatenating category codes, depending on the setting of the BU Creation processing options. In final mode, the system updates the Organization Structure Master File table (F0050).
