Org. Plan maintenance

[Patrick Green]

Patrick & Jennifer,  here's an approach that was suggested to me at the
Fall 2001 ASUG conference in New Orleans.
 
Create the needed PD Org objects in your production client as master data.
Then use program RHMOVE30 to move the objects to your development clients.
The objects will then be readily transportable with your workflows without
wreaking havoc on existing production structures.
 
A gentleman from Eastman Kodak Chemicals (thanks Tom Walker!) told me that
this is the approach SAP recommended for his company.  And it is how we are
handling the issue for our BP Chemicals client now as well.

I recommend you guys to setup a separate number range for your org. objects
in development client.
Secondly I think you should maintaint positions/jobs and org units in
development, transport them accross systems, but maintain user assignments
in target system.
Reasons: you will not have user ID that you have in prod in your dev
client, plus transport would overwrite your user assignments.
To accomplish that you need to set a block for transport of infotype A 008.

Patrick,
Did you ever get an answer to your question?  We are now trying to move our
 WF to testing environment where we have setup a new org structure.
However we
do not have authorization to make changes in our testing environment and we
are trying to transport the WF with organization ids integrated as roles.
In
the development evirnment these organization ids are already exist as a
different type of object.  Any ideas, or did you get an answer to your
question
below?

Hi workflowers!
 
We are currently hestitating between doing the day-to-day maintenance of
the
organizational plan direcly in production system, as if it was master data,
or first in development environment and then transport it to Q/A and Prod,
as if it was customizing.
How should that kind of maintenance activities be considered? Customizing
or
master data? If you consider it as master data, how did you de-activate the
transport connection in the development environment?
 
Thanks in advance for your answers.
