Managing Business Units

Business Units allow organizations to control access for specific departments, divisions, groups, or portions of an organization. Business Units are used to restrict user access to data and to segregate compensation data for dashboards and analytics.

As an SAP Incentive Management user, you can select a default business unit in your User Preferences. If a default business unit is set, every record you create will automatically populate the business unit field with the default one.

When you are creating formulas and other plan data, you will use the Legal Moves Editor as the graphical interface that allows you to create expressions while enforcing correct input while creating formulas, building plans, and generating advanced searches. You will see this editor many times as we go through this course.

To see examples of the use of the legal moves editor, watch the video on 'Working with the Legal Moves Editor'.
