Overview of enterprise modeling

The Enterprise Modeling Management module is used to view and maintain the enterprise structuring data of the following entities:

• Companies, which you define in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.
• Internal business partners, which you define in the Business Partner (tccom4100s000) session.
• Departments, which you define in the Enterprise Unit (tcemm0630m000) session. If multisite is implemented, you can also define departments in the Site (tcemm0650m000) session.
• Warehouses, which you define in the Enterprise Unit (tcemm0630m000) or the Site (tcemm0650m000) session.
• Projects, which you define in the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) session and that you further define in the Project (tppdm6600m400) session or the Projects (tipcs2101m000) session.

When you link the various entities to enterprise units and through the enterprise units, to financial companies, the following rules apply:

• Each enterprise unit is linked to one logistic company and to one financial company.
• Each department, warehouse or project is linked to one enterprise unit.
• The logistic company of the enterprise unit is the operational company of the logistic departments, warehouses and projects linked to the enterprise unit.
• Each enterprise unit can contain one or more accounting departments. The financial company of the enterprise unit is the operational company of all the accounting departments.
• Each financial company can have more than one accounting department. You can define the company's default accounting department in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session, or you can leave the Accounting Department field empty.

  LN uses the default accounting department:

  • To retrieve the control account from the financial business partner group details.
  • To update the invoice balance.
  • To update the composed invoice balance.

In addition, you can use the Enterprise Modeling Management module to define:

• Planning clusters that you use for Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) in Enterprise Planning.
• The time zones that the company uses.
