What is line organization in SAP FIN-SEM-BPS - Business Planning and Simulation?


SAP Term: line organization

  • Component: FIN-SEM-BPS

  • Component Name: Business Planning and Simulation

  • Description: The concept of the division of a company into hierarchical organizational units which are linked to each other. Within a line organization, every organizational unit receives its instructions exclusively from the direct higher-level unit, and it only reports directly to this unit. The advantage is the clear distribution of tasks and competencies, and the possibility to make quick decisions. In comparison, the disadvantage is a longer official channel in all those matters which cannot be decided between two directly higher-level or lower-level organizational units.
