Best Practice - Changing description for Org Unit/Position or creating new?

Hello Freinds,
I just want to know from your experience what's normally practiced in your implementations for OM :-
For scenarios where there is a need to change the description of a particular org unit or position, do u
1. just change the description effective a particular date (to maintain history) or
2. put an end date to those objects and create new ones ?
Solution 1 is quick and easy, but in IT0001 the description displayed is as on start date of that infotype which is normally a date prior to the change in desc of those objects. As a result this infotype keeps displaying old description.
Is there any way to change this display to show the current description instead of the description as on start date of this infotype ???
Solution 2 calls for a lot of related activities, say if i create a new org unit and delemit the old one - then i have to move all the sub org units and positions into this new one ... which is quite time consuming and doesn't really seem practical.
How do u manage such scenarios ?
Thanks
Allen

We use option #1, although I am not sure this is best practice. Using option 1 for positions makes it challenging when it comes to reporting on length of time in position. We frequently have the scenario where a person is reorged not because they applied for another position, but just because the big wigs want to move around the chess pieces. In these cases we simply modify the position attributes and then run a PA action. Then if you run a query and use the standard delivered Length of time in position field, it appears as if the person has been in the same position for years (which they have), but their position has been retitled, re-graded, and re-orged numerous times. This makes it very difficult to get to an employee's length of time in their role.
This is a great discussion question I hope more people respond with what they do and why.

Create description for org. unit in CATT

Hi all,
I'd like to mass create the descriptions of a organizational unit in PP01/PO10 with CATT.
But in CATT I just can't specify a parameter name for the text field of the descriptions.
Is there any ways to solve this?
Thanks a lot !

Disappering is the right behavior. On delivery method WBT participant type 'O' cannot be booked because WBT can be only accessed using Learning portal and Learning portal cannot be logged in using Org. Unit. So this is not possible for this release.
But i have heard in EHP4 this option of Org. unit booking on WBT is possible but not directly but system will take care if you select an org unit for booking.

Remove Actions for Org Unit & Positiin in Succession Planning.

Hi,
We are in process of implementing Nakisa 3.0 SP1.
In succession planning, we want to remove few actions for org units & position. I tried to look for the configuration of the same in admin console in detailed configuration for my positions & my org units, but could not find it. Please help.
Thanks
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
Do you mean the items in the Actions drop-down menu on the OrgUnit/Positions details panels? This cannot be done in the AdminConsole. You need to go to the <build>\AppResource\linkconfiguration folder and copy the files you want to change to <build>\.detla\AppResource\linkconfiguration folder and then change them.
I believe the files you want are SAPOrgUnitDetailsConfiguration.xml and SAPPositionDetailsConfiguration.xml. Just delete or comment out the lines for the actions you want to remove.
Best regards,
Luke

What is the naming convention used for Org Units, Positions, Jobs and other OM objects. Pls send document if any of you have.

Namming conventions are made based on the company strategry. That means it varies from one organisation to another. I can find one convention which is availabe in net.

Hi Jay
Get the position of the employees for whom you are getting the error message and maintain infotype "Canada Groups for WCB" for those positions. This should solve your issue.

How to trigger the new Org units which are created in HR to replicate to SRM without any manual input into selection field of Object ID during running the PFAL?
We are trying to achieve automation of synchronization between changes/new creation in HR to replicate to SRM.
Thank for your help.

Nakisa Org Chart Version 3.0 - Org Unit Position Statistics

Hi All,
Just a quick question, I am currently at a client site where org unit position statistics is always coming back with 0 for occupied and vacation positions.
There are clearly employees assigned to position in the org structure, but I am thinking it may be related to the work percentage on teh A008 relationship between the position and the person.
Can anyone confirm this or give some insight on why we could be getting zeros.
We are currently researching the authorizations to rule that out.
thanks.
JB

Hi Jamie,
I hope you are well. I assume you mean the OrgUnit Hierarchy > FTE View? For the OrgUnit FTE view, the data is calculated by counting all the Positions:
Occupied Positions: where Position has active Person assigned (defined by S A 008 P relationship and PA0000-STAT2 = 3 for related Person)
Vacant Positions: where Position has no active Person assigned (defined by S A 008 P relationship and PA0000-STAT2 = 3 for related Person)
However, this data element (Position_View_Element_Live.xml) uses the BAPI_SAP_NakisaRfcProcessor_PositionVacancyCount_Live class instead of a NakisaRFC Chart class but it does reference the SAPOrgUnitChart_Position NakisaRFC function. It might be that this class alter the output of the NakisaRFC Chart function.
Does that help?
Best regards,
Luke

Reassignment to new Org.Unit & Position

Hello Everyone,
I have a requirement to reassign a Business Partner (Associated with Central Person) to a new org.unit & a new position in the organizational Model. This should be done using a FM. I would like to know if there are any FM's which can be used to reassign a BP from one Org.Unit to Different Org.Unit and a differént position.
I am able to create the relationship using FM *OM_CREATE_RELATION_WITH_DIALOG*. But relationship has to be reassigned to different org.unit & position. Let me know if any one you can help me with.

CRMD_BUS2000108 - organizational unit and attributes for org. unit

Hi all!
As I'm customizing Lead creation (and in a second step lead generation)
I would like to receive tips about "selection of organizational unit and attributes for org. unit".
I expected that, by entering a BP number of a prospect or sold-to party, the organizational unit and its attributes would be displayed automatically on the tab "organization".
This is not the case. When I start the lead creation, there is a pop-up screen inviting me to choose the organizational unit. afterwards a pop-up screen for the attributes of the org unit. Only after setting a flag in both pop-ups, I see the actual "lead" transaction. When I enter a BP number, the sales assistant and sales rep are found automatically.
Could anybody please explain how to change the customizing?
I would like to see the lead transaction (create) first, enter a bp number and than have the org unit and its attributes, the sales rep and sales assistant found automatically.
Any usefull answer (would make my day ), will be rewarded.
Thank you very much for your suggestions and time in advance!
I. Van Acker

hi
this is happening because you have not done the org data determination in your transaction,just go to SPRO and there in org data determination ,you have many standard ORGMAN rules available which you can use which will pick the data according to the user ,BPs etc.
it will enable you to first give BP and then the org data will be driven automatically from the system according to the rule in org data determination.
so first go and use rule ,try using rule ORGMAN_12
then attach this rule to the org data profile and then add this org data profile to the transaction in basic settings in transaction where you have defined your lead transaction.
it will solve your purpose
best regards

OM - Multiple Cost Centres link with Org Unit/Position not to employee

Hello gurus,
In OM there can only be one relationship at a time between an organizational unit and cost centre (A011). For those areas where there is a requirement for the position to have control over more than one cost centre, there are multiple options.
Option 1 - If only one of the cost centres is used for employee cost incurrence, this should be the main cost centre, and the others controlled through authorizations.
Option 2 - If more than one cost centre is used for employee cost incurrence, a subordinate organizational unit is created into which those positions are placed. In this scenario, the subordinate organizational units would not have a chief, and the reporting structure would go up to the more senior organizational units.
Option 3 - Use Cost centre distribution infotype 1018 (A014)
My question: is there a standard way through which we can show multiple cost centres attached to a position/org unit such that cost incurred by employees goes to master cost centre attached to org unit or positon and other cost centres are just attached to position/orgunit (just to show the org unit/position is managing these other cost centres as well).
Any thoughts? Anybody has used Enterprise Organization in CO to achieve this?
Regards,
Ahmad

To capture more than 1 cost center, you have to specify them in IT-1018 but employee's cost will be split based on this.
For data maintanance alone cost distribution is not possible (based on my knowledge).
May be equivalent custom infotype similar to 1018 @ Postiion / Org Unit level may work.
along with Master Cost center.

Search help for org units

Hi,
I'm looking for a tree search help for org units without organisational controls.
Actually I'm using the search help 'RH_TYPE_STRUC_HELP' but the units are only the units directed by the user. For one of the specific infotype, I need to let the user select an unit that is not in his own structure... to save an information like "I don't want to work here".
Have you got some function that can help me ??
Thanks,
Christophe.

Hi
I want to know only the parent org units existed at company code level or Personnel area level for the position search hlep and not the org units and positions relationship

Automatic creation of an account for org unit

Hello Experts,
System automatically creates an account for organisational unit with the role organisational unit. But when i am creating a new organization model, the org units are not created as accounts.
Kindly suggest me,
Thanks and Regards,
Lakshith Rao

Hi Lakshith Rao,
For some reason BP number must not have got generated for your Org. Could be because of some errors.
Go to SPRO-> CRM-> Master Data-> Business Parnter-> Integration Business Partner - Organization Management-> Create Business PArtner Initially.
Select Org. Unit and search and select your org. unit. Click on execute.
If there are no errors in your org. unit then BP number will get generated or else it will mention what data is missing.
Cheers,
MG
