SAP MM Enterprise Structure
The SAP MM Enterprise Structure is described in SAP as "the definition of specific organizational units that collectively represent a company's business units and divisions." SAP Enterprise Structure is the foundation of every project. It is an organization's system representation. When a project is proposed or launched, it begins with an analysis of the company's business structure and procedures, which are then mapped to SAP structures.
For Material Management (MM) the organizational units are Plant, Storage Location, Purchasing Organization, and Purchasing Group. These organizational units are assigned together.
