Organization: Internal Perspective

The solution is set up with a default internal organization structure as shown in the following figure.

This is a standard structure, but you can change it during implementation to fit your needs.

Companies

A company is a legal entity that has its own P&L and balance sheet. A company can consist of several departments.

Departments

Departments also have P&L responsibility; the full P&L can be controlled at the department level.

In the PSO solution, the standard setup includes an executing department (the department to which the employee belongs) and a responsible department (to which the project belongs), allowing data to be analyzed from both perspectives.

Employees

The lowest level of the organizational hierarchy is the employee who is linked to a certain department (executing department).
