Moving Organizational UnitsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

Move organizational units if you want to change where a unit is placed within an organizational structure. This changes the relationship records linked to the organizational unit.

In Infotype Maintenance, this can be achieved by delimiting the relationship record, and then creating a new one. However, in Simple Maintenance it is a more straight forward procedure.

Procedure

Moving Organizational Units by Running a Search

  1. On the Change Organizational Structure screen, choose the organizational unit you want to move.

  2. Select Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Move Next navigation step General End of the navigation path.

    The Choose Organizational Unit screen appears.

  3. In the Search string field, (or Structure search), look up the organizational unit to which you want to move the position. Choose Continue.

    If the system finds more than one organizational unit, the Search Function for Organizational Unit appears, listing the units.

    If the system finds only one organizational unit, the Move dialog box appears, showing the object's proposed new placement in the organizational structure. In this case, skip to step 4.

  4. In the Search Function for Organizational Unit dialog box, select a unit and choose Continue.

    The Move dialog box appears, showing the object's proposed new placement in the organizational structure.

  5. If necessary, choose Period to adjust the validity period for the relationship infotype record you are creating.

    The Validity Period dialog box appears.

    1. In the appropriate fields, enter data as required.

    2. Choose Continue.

    Otherwise, skip to step 6.

  6. Choose Move.

The system moves the object. The Change Organizational Structure screen appears, displaying the new placement.
