Determining the organizational unit
After defining the organizational units determine for every business object how the appropriate organizational unit is to be determined. Go to AEB Cockpit: Customizing – Determination organizational unit. Click on Rule (Add rule). Choose the business object for which you want to add the determination of the organizational unit.
If you are not offered an entry for the desired business object after adding the rule, an entry to the list has already been made.
Select Determination of the organizational unit as the rule type. Then select the rule to be used for the business object:
Rule | Description |
|---|---|
/AEB/CL_CMP_OUAD_STRAT01_BC | Determination on the basis of the SAP® client and the business object. |
/AEB/CL_CMP_OUAD_STRAT02_BC | Determination on the basis of the company code and the business object. |
/AEB/CL_CMP_OUAD_STRAT03_BC | Determination on the basis of the sales organization and the business object. |

/AEB/CL_CMP_OUAD_STRAT06_BC | Determination on the basis of the sales organization, the distribution channel, and the division |
/AEB/CL_CMP_OUAD_STRAT07_BC | Determination on the basis of the shipping point |
/AEB/CL_CMP_OUAD_STRAT08_BC | Determination on the basis of the plant. In the case of purchasing documents, the receiving plant is used (EKPO-WERKS). |

Not every rule is possible for every business object. Only possible rules are proposed.
It is possible to consolidate several sales organizations in one organizational unit. The same applies to purchasing organization and company codes.
For entering the values use the search help.
Wildcards cannot be used when determining organizational units. You always have to enter specific information in the settings. The rule based on sales organization, distribution channel, and division is an exception.
These settings have to be transported.
In the case of an online check of master data (e.g. customers or vendors, however, not business partners ), the organizational unit DEFAULT is used if the rule for determining the organizational unit works based on organizational units of the SAP® system (e.g. the sales organization). This ensures that master data entries without any organizational assignment can be checked with the settings determined for DEFAULT.
As soon as an assignment exists for a master data entry, an organizational unit is either found based on the active rule or none is found (not even DEFAULT).
During the batch check, checks are always run for all applicable organizational units anyway.
If a rule is used for documents which determines the organizational unit from item values, the document may contain two or more organizational unit and as a result several entries may be created in the Compliance Monitor. All following activities, e.g. release, must be made individually for these entries.
If the organizational unit is determined based on criteria that can change dynamically (e.g. the plant of an item) for a business object, two entries may be displayed in the Compliance Monitor as a result for an already checked business object after a criterion has been changed: One entry for the originally determined organizational unit and one entry for the newly determined organizational unit. The information about blocks set in the business object is copied to the newly generated entry. Releases that have already been created are deleted in the older entry and not copied to the new entry. The status of the older entry with the no longer valid organizational unit changes to Change of org. unit (N). This entry can no longer be modified. However, it can still be used as a reference for previous check results or block details. If the original organizational unit is determined again for the business object, the old entry is removed for good.
