 Dispersal of a Force Element

Use

You disperse an active force element when the organizational unit it represents no longer exists in your organization as of a specific point in time.

Features

You can disperse either an individual force element or, starting from a force element, a (sub)structure. In both cases, the system triggers or carries out the following actions automatically:

  • The force element is delimited.

  • If the entire structure is delimited, the lower-level force elements are also delimited.

  • The relationships between the force elements involved are delimited.

  • The relationships with positions (authorized personnel) are delimited. In the human resources management system, the relationships with the person can then be adjusted accordingly.

  • The checks and follow-up actions defined in Customizing are triggered, for example:

    • Delimitation of the authorized materials, logistical requirements, and assigned reportable item codes

    • Delimitation of the support relationships and therefore trigger of the workflows for changed support relationships

    • Delimitation of the cost centers

    • Cost center lock for postings
