# Building Organizational Structure

Correct reflection of the company org structure in the system is one of the key tasks in implementing the HR system, since it creates a good basis for all the other modules and functions. Create the hierarchy of the company org units and, if applicable, assign them to different countries, locations and legal entities.

Before creating organizational units, set up additional entities that can be used for defining org unit properties and structuring the company hierarchy, which are:

- [Countries](/v1/docs/create-countries)
- [Locations](/v1/docs/set-up-locations)
- [Companies](/v1/docs/define-companies)
- [Legal entities](/v1/docs/create-legal-entities)
- [Cost centers](/v1/docs/build-cost-centers)
- [Working Groups](/v1/docs/define-working-groups)
- [Org unit types](/v1/docs/set-up-org-unit-types)
