Assigning/Moving/Repositioning Objects
Use
An organizational plan depicts the functional relationships in your enterprise. To depict such relationships (the hierarchy of organizational units or the staffing of positions by persons, for example), you assign objects to each other. Objects can be
- newly assigned
if they are not yet assigned.
- moved
, that is, you end the object’s current assignment in a structure and create a new assignment within the same structure.
- repositioned
within a hierarchy level in a structure.
The following can be target positions:
- An organizational unit can be assigned to another organizational unit.
- A position can be assigned to an organizational unit.
- An employee (business partner with the employee role) or an user can be assigned to a position.
