structure of an enterprise using the organizational units in the R/3 System. This section does not cover technical aspects of this process in the R/3 System. Enterprise modeling aims to plan and represent the basic structure of all R/3 System components, taking into account strategic business processes, information flows, distribution scenarios and R/3 business objects. An enterprise model portrays the structure of an enterprise using the organizational units in the R/3 System. You may use it to evaluate the usability of an R/3 System that has been configured in accordance with an enterprise’s business requirements.
You can use the Structure Modeler to graphically portray enterprise models. You can also involve user departments and management at an early stage of the project. Users do not need in-depth knowledge of the R/3 System. This provides a binding framework for the entire project phase, increasing stability when implementing your R/3 System. This also reduces the likelihood of having to revise key organizational decisions after a prototype has been configured, that is, after a project has been running for a long time.
This handbook is intended for members of the integration planning team involved in the implementation of R/3. These are, in particular:
• Project managers
• Members of the core project team
• Certain members of the specialist departments
• Consultants.
This handbook aims primarily to support the planning process for implementing the R/3 System in larger groups. Many of the issues discussed here may be clarified more easily and quickly in small- and medium-sized enterprises than in large enterprises. By giving due consideration to the subjects discussed here, however, even smaller and medium-sized enterprises can benefit from greater reliability with regard to system planning.
