Assignments between objects.

 

If, when processing organizational data, you have defined assignments between objects, the system stores these assignments as relationships in this infotype. You use assignments between objects to enter the following business issues in the system:

  • Hierarchical structures

    You define assignments between objects to describe their hierarchical relationship to each other. For example, you assign organizational units to each other hierarchically to represent the organizational structure of your enterprise or your organization and assign the individual organizational units the positions that belong to them. You also use assignments to define which employee staffs which position.

  • Object characteristics

    You can use assignments to define object characteristics if own object types are planned to represent these characteristics in the system in the data model for the component Personnel & Organization You can use the assignment of jobs to positions to describe the characteristics.

    Note Note

    You use object-type-specific infotypes rather than own object types to define the majority of object characteristics.

    End of the note.

  • Relationships to objects of other components

    You can use assignments to represent relationships between objects of the component Personnel & Organization and objects of other components in the system. You can thus assign organizational units or positions to cost centers to represent the relationship between the organizational structure and the cost center structure.

You can use the functions of the component Personnel & Organization to represent the following assignments:
