SAP SuccessFactors: Multiple Organization structure for different Legal Entities in one instance

[former_member29762]

Hi,

I would like to know, what is the best practice suggested by SAP to incorporate different organization structure for multiple legal entities in one instance.

For Example:

1. Legal Entity 1 wants their structure to be like this: Legal Entity -> Business Unit -> Division -> Department.

2. Legal Entity 2 wants their structure to be like this: Legal Entity -> Business Unit -> Department.

Legal Entity 2 do not want to use Division.

Please let me know, what is the best practice suggested in this case?

What will be its impact on the system where associations are used, such as:

1. Associations defined between these objects

2. Organization related field in position object

3. Organization related fields in job information

4. Organization related fields in job requisition.

5. Any impact in Payroll replication in case of ECP.

Kind Regards

The best practice approach is having the Legal Entities adapt standardized uniform structure, at least in the high level: LE - BU - DIV - DEP. Any specific structure, which of course is not recommended, should only in lower level, and can be control by RBP or association.

Introducing multiple cross association will complicate the operation, data maintenance, report within SF, and having unpredictable cascading impacts on master data integration.

Hope it can help!
