Landscape
1.0. SAP Landscape
Landscape is like a server system or like a layout of the servers or the architecture of the servers. Visually, SAP is divided into three different landscapes: Development server (DEV), Quality Assurance Server (QAS) and Production server (PROD). DEV would have multiple clients. For example 190- Sandbox, 100- Golden, 180- Unit Test.
QAS may again have multiple clients. For example 300- Integration Test, 700 to 710 Training.
PROD may have something like a 200 production. Pipeline is the environment where the configuration in the development system is moved to the QAS & finally to the production system. The whole idea is to ensure that the configuration of these systems is in sync at any point of time. This approach throws up the transport management system concept. Transport management system is the coordination of the movement of objects and configuration changes from the DEVSYS to the QAS and then to the Production system. Let us have a detail discussion about the above.
1.0.1.
Development Server
The consultant carries out the customization as per clients requirement in the development server. Each client coming under the development server is explained below:

1.0.1.1.Sandbox
The essence of sandbox is to test the configuration of the business processes of a company, especially at the inception of the project (before the Business Blueprint is signed). It can also serve as practice environment even after go live. Once we are satisfied about the configuration, the same is redone in the Golden client.
1.0.1.2.Golden Client
Here the actual configuration is done which is then transported to the test client.

Organization Structure
2.0. Need for an Organization Structure
Every organization is collectively a representation of small units. Business organizations analyze the results of operations through financial statements and reports drawn through Management Information Systems. The financial statements have to be submitted to the legislative authorities of the country where the organization is located and by which it is governed. It may also be required to submit the same in the prescribed format to the banks, financial institutions, investors, tax authorities, to the stock exchanges if the company is listed in stock exchange. Therefore, the need for a defined organization structure is necessitated to ensure smoothness in conducting the operations.

2.1.1.
Client
The client is the highest level in the hierarchy of organization structure of SAP. Master data defined at this level reduces the redundancy in maintaining data across different levels of organizational units. The same can be used by multiple company codes. Each client is an independent unit with separate master records and a complete set of tables and data.

Operating Concern

2.1.3.
Company
Company is an organizational unit which facilitates consolidation of financial results and hence, reports like Consolidated Profit and Loss account and Consolidated Balance Sheet can be drawn. Specifications or master data at this level cannot be maintained. Definition of company is optional and is necessitated when the concept of Group Company comes into picture.
2.1.4.
Company Code
This organizational unit serves the base for legal reporting. Specifications and master data defined at this level can be used exclusively for this company code. Multiple company codes can be created in SAP system. Assignment of company code to company is mandatory in case of group company.

Business Area
The organizational unit used for internal reporting is referred as business area. The basis for deciding a business area may be taken as either location of the manufacturing plant, warehouse, factory outlet, administrative office or operating product. The organization entity used in logistics modules i.e. material management, sales and distribution, and production planning is Plant. The same is configured as business area in Financial Information (FI) module. It is used while posting of transactions so as to enable drawing of financial statements. They can be used across company codes. Definition of business area is optional.
2.1.6.
Profit Centre
Profit centre is an organizational unit defined within controlling module. It is also a statistical cost object used for drawing financial statements at profit centre level. It is specified while posting transactions. In turn, the profit centre is assigned to the cost centre which is a real cost object. Lately, the organizations prefer to use profit centre instead of business area for drawing internal reporting. Detail discussion on profit centre will be taken in controlling module.

3.0 Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Transaction Code: OB29)
The financial year of organization is called as fiscal year in SAP. Fiscal year consists of twelve normal or regular periods plus four special periods. Normal periods are used for posting regular transactions. Special periods are used for entering year end activity adjustments. The purpose of special periods is to identify and control year-end adjustments from regular transactions. These are also referred as virtual periods. When transactions are posted with special periods system automatically updates those figures to the last period of fiscal year.
Fiscal year is of two types: (a) Calendar year: e.g. January to December (b) Non calendar year: e.g. June to July, October to September, and April to March
The same is also classified in other way: (a) Year independent fiscal year (b) Year dependent fiscal year
