  • Key Concepts: 
    Organizational units are the basic building blocks of the SAP system. They are used to define the structure of an organization and to assign roles and responsibilities to users. In the FS-BA-SD Source Data component, organizational units are used to define the source data for financial statements, such as balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Organizational units can be created in the SAP system by navigating to the Organizational Management (OM) module. Once created, they can be assigned to users or other organizational units. This allows users to access only the data that is relevant to their role or responsibility. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating organizational units in the OM module, it is important to consider how they will be used in the FS-BA-SD Source Data component. For example, if a user needs access to financial statement data, it is important to create an organizational unit that includes all of the necessary source data.
