SAP Generic Structure

The SAP structure is hierarchical in nature

Start with the Client at the top level. Each instance of SAP is typically associated with a client. An instance is a separate server and database that holds the client

Under the client can be a Company. There are also Company Codes. A Company can hold multiple Company Codes. Each Company has a Chart of Accounts.

If a Company is not used, then the next level is Company Code. The Company Code is the smallest organizational unit in SAP for which you can draw individual Financial Statements

Under each Company Code is the Plant. This can be a warehouse, DC, or manufacturing location. Storage locations are located in the Plant.


SAP Generic Corporate Structure

Client – a detached, individual, customizable working environment

Company Code – an independent legal entity with its own income statement and balance sheet ( I refer to this as the financial bucket)

Plant – the entity to which all logistical data are linked (I refer to this at the physical location) Storage Location – used for registration of materials into stock (can be physical or logical)

Warehouse – Used to track materials, physical location
