In this step, you can carry out an additional organizational assignment for your employees. By using the organizational key, you can refine both the enterprise and the personnel structure. The organizational key is made up of a 14-character field. You can determine the structure of this yourself.

You can use all the elements of the organizational structure (all the fields in the infotype Organizational Assignment 0001) to define the organizational key. To enable you to do this, you can choose from fields that are shown, such as 'company code', 'employee group', 'organizational unit', 'administrator group', as well as from the hidden fields 'formatted employee name' (for example Dr. Fritz Meier) and 'employee name for sorting' (for example MEIER FRITZ). As before, specific control tables and rules tables are also provided for you.

The organizational key is part of the authorization check in the HR Human Resources) module, this means you can revise the authorization check by using the organizational key.

Example

You want to define an access authorization at the cost center level.

You want to define an authorization check based on the first letter of the surname.

Activities

  1. Define the link Organizational key control <-> Employee when you maintain the feature Organizational key (VDSK1).
  2. Determine the organizational key control.
    1. In the field Variable key, set up the variable key in accordance with the return code of the feature VDSK1.
    2. By using the field Default/validation, you can control how the system should proceed when assigning the organizational key in the infotype Organizational Assignment (0001).
      3. The following characteristics for the field Organizational key (P0001-VDSK1) are available:
      Setting        Characteristic
              1            optional entry without validation
              2            optional entry with validation
              3            required entry with validation
              4            default which cannot be overwritten
              5            default without validation which can be overwritten
              6            default with validation which can be overwritten
              7            default with validation which cannot be overwritten
      Note
      If you use indicators that produce a default, i.e. if you use 4, 5, 6 or 7, you must also maintain the creation rules.
      If you use an indicator that carries out a validation, i.e. 2, 3, 6 or 7, you must also maintain "Validation" (point 4).
    3. Determine the rules for creating the organizational key. To do this, you must enter the key for the creation rule.
  3. If necessary, define the creation rule.

    To define a creation rule, you must store values in several fields:

    1. By using the field Creation rule, you can determine the key under which the creation rule is defined.
    2. By using the field Number, you can determine in which sequence, the fields from infotype Organizational assignment are used to create the organizational key.
    3. Enter the name of the field from the infotype Organizational Assignment which is to be used to create the organizational key.
    4. By using the fields Length and Offset, you can determine which part of the field called up from infotype Organizational Assignment is included in the organizational key.
      If you do not make an entry in the fields Length and Offset, the system will automatically propose the length of the field, that is defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary; the offset has the value 0.
  4. If necessary, determine the validations.

    If you have chosen an entry with validation, you must list all the permissible entries for the organizational key here.

    1. The field Hierarchy is not used in the SAP Standard System and has the value 1 when called up.
    2. In the field Organizational key, enter the values that are to be used for the validation against the values in the field Org.key when you maintain infotype Organizational assignment (0001).
