The SAP LeanIX 'Organization' fact sheet is a core element of the business architecture layer used to model the structural and hierarchical composition of an enterprise. Its primary purpose is to represent any organizational unit. This includes formal, legally recognized structures such as a 'Legal entity' and functional or operational divisions like a 'Business unit', department, or team. This modeling allows for the mapping of business capabilities, processes, and applications to the specific parts of the organization that own or use them, providing clarity on responsibilities and impact.

B. IT component: An IT Component is a distinct fact sheet type in the technology layer of the SAP LeanIX meta-model, representing software, hardware, or services, not an organizational structure.

C. Income: Income is a financial metric or attribute. While it could be a property associated with an Organization fact sheet, it does not represent the organizational unit itself.

1. SAP Help Portal - SAP LeanIX Documentation: The official documentation on the SAP LeanIX meta-model defines the 'Organization' fact sheet as part of the Business Layer. It explicitly states its use for modeling organizational units like business units

departments

and teams. This concept extends to any formal business structure

including legal entities.

2. SAP LeanIX White Paper on Enterprise Architecture Meta-Models: These documents consistently describe the 'Organization' entity (often referred to as 'User Group' in older contexts but standardized as 'Organization') as the element for representing the business structure.

" which visually depicts the 'Organization' fact sheet in the business layer

distinct from the 'IT Component' in the technology layer.
