Assigning Unrelated Organizational UnitsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

If you work in Simple Maintenance, it is not necessary for you to formally assign organizational units to a place within an organizational structure. The system carries out the assignment.

However, if you create organizational units in Infotype Maintenance, organizational units are not automatically placed within the organizational structure. This means that your organizational plan might include unassigned or unrelated organizational units.

This feature allows you to place existing, unassigned organizational units within an organizational structure.

Procedure


  1. On the Change Organizational Structure screen, choose the organizational unit that is to become the parent of the unassigned organizational unit.

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Assign Next navigation step Organization Unit End of the navigation path.

    The Choose Organizational Unit screen appears.

  3. In the Search String field, look up the organizational unit you want to add to the organizational structure. Choose Continue.

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

  4. Select one or more of the units. Choose Continue.

    The Organizational Unit Assignment dialog box appears, showing the proposed placement. If you decide not to assign the unit(s) to the proposed placement, deselect their indicator next to the object ID.

    If the system finds only one organizational unit, the Organizational Unit Assignment dialog box appears, showing the proposed placement of the object within the organizational structure.
