Summary
Matrix organization structures in business allow for efficient use of resources across multiple projects or products. Students learn how to configure these structures using SAP R/3, and see examples of traditional and matrix organizational charts.
Matrix Organization Basics
Matrix organizations avoid duplication of skills and responsibilities. They allocate skills or resources across sectors as needed, creating a multi-functional team approach.
Matrix Structures in SAP R/3
SAP R/3 can supplement an organizational hierarchy with a matrix structure. It allows displaying and reporting on relationships and task assignments among entities.
Configuring a Product-Based Matrix
Configuring a matrix in SAP R/3 involves creating custom objects and relationships. It also involves specifying allowed relationships and evaluation paths.
Displaying the Matrix Structure
Once configured, the matrix structure can be viewed using transaction PPMS. The matrix shows valid relationships between organizational units and product lines.
