Use

To reflect changes to your organizational structure you can:

  • Assign organizational units to the organizational structure.

  • Reassign organizational units, by transferring them to a new position in the organizational structure.

    This enables a time differentiation from the old assignment.

  • Move organizational units, meaning they are moved to a new position on the same branch of the hierarchy.

    Note Note

    Assignments normally become valid on the selected key date. Alternatively you can use a dialog box to enter any validity dates required when you assign organizational units (see Activating/Deactivating Timeframe Query ).

Prerequisites

You have created an organizational structure; other organizational units may exist that have not yet been assigned to this structure.

From the structure, choose an organizational unit that you want to process. The organizational structure is displayed in the overview area . For more information, see Searching for Organizational Units , and Creating Organizational Units .

Procedure

Assigning organizational units
  1. Search for an organizational unit (see Searching for Organizational Units ).

    The organizational unit is displayed in the selection area .

  2. In the selection area , select the organizational unit.

  3. In the overview area, assign the organizational unit to the superordinate organizational unit using drag and drop .

    When you assign a cost center or profit center to an HR organizational unit using drag and drop the system makes the following comparisons:

    • The profit center entered in the cost center master data with the one derived from the enterprise organization, and if required, changes the entry in the cost center master data.

    • The controlling area entered in the profit center master data with the one derived from the enterprise organization, and if required, changes the entry in the profit center master data.

      Note Note

      If the organizational unit was already assigned to the structure, the system differentiates the old assignment chronologically. This means that the organizational unit is assigned to the new item from the set key date.

      End of the note.
  4. Choose Save .

Reassigning or moving organizational units
  1. In the overview area , select the organizational unit from the structure that you want to reassign or move.

  2. To move the organizational unit within a hierarchy branch, choose Move up orMove down.

  3. To reassign the organizational unit within the organizational structure, use drag and drop to assign it to the desired superordinate organizational unit.

    This enables a time differentiation from the old assignment.
