Organizational Structures:
Client
The client is a unit within an SAP R/3
system that is self-contained both in
legal and organizational terms and in
terms of data, with separate master
records and an independent set of
tables.
From a business viewpoint, the
client represents a corporate
group, for example.
Client: 3 numerical digits
Organizational Structures:
Plant
Lowest valuation area
Organizational level where Material
Requirements (MRP) runs
Generally used to describe a
production site, a distribution center
or centralized warehouse
May be a physical or logical unit
Organizational Structures:
Valuation Area
The valuation area determines at
which level a material is valuated
(inventory value is established)
SAP R/3 allows valuation at the
company code or plant level, but
recommends valuation area be set at
the plant level.
Means each plant can have its own
material prices and account
