Organisation structure of a company is termed as Enterprise Structure in SAP.

This represents the skeleton of an organisation. Each functional department  of a company is represented by an individual organisational element or Unit in SAP.

Enterprise structure need to be designed from reporting perspective and this would be basis for the creation of the master data.

SAP recommends to keep organisational structure as lean as possible and this will have an impact during master data maintenance.

Enterprise structure is divided into two parts :

1. Definition

2. Assignment 

Individual Org. elements will be created stand alone in the definition

Relationship between independent Org. elements will be done in Assignment process.

Below is the mapping of Organisational structure to that of SAP
