Organisational structure in Workflow

Hi
I'm with a client that keeps organisational structure in a non-SAP system, but might be considering moving this structure into SAP. In either case, I need to have an organisational structure in Workflow for agent assignment. If they continue to keep the org. structure outside of SAP, I will have to create the structure from scratch in WF, correct? Can the two structures be kept in synch automtically?
If they decide to go with the SAP option, will I still need to create the org.structure from scratch in Workflow, or can I somehow use the already existing org.structure in SAP.. how?
I have been looking at help.sap.com and other sources for help, but I am unable to find a clear picture..
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Thomas Kjelsrud

Hello,
For workflow you dont need to build a decicated workflow org structure, but you can use an existing OM structure. The problem in most of the times is that the OM structure which represents the organization is not always suitable for use in workflow.
I dont know which options you have with migrating the HR Om structure from a NON sap environment to a SAP system.

  • Change of Position in Organisational structure

    Hi all,
    The position of an employee has changed in the organisational structure and the
    new position is displayed. But  the underlying  workflows containing
    SWX_GET_MANAGER function module, are not working properly and no agent is determined .
    The above function module works properly for all other employee values.
    Is there any other place where we have to determine the new position ?
    Please treat it as urgent.
    Thanks in advance,
    Garima

    You can create a small program for that. Please find a sample below:

  • Determining Approver from Organisational Structure

    Hi all,
    I am new to Workflow, Can anyone please let me know how Approver can be determined from Organisational Structure.
    1) For determining Approvers i have position data available with me.
    2) Also please let me know all possible scenarios of determining the Approvers from Organisational Structure.
    Please provide me any Documents or tutorials available for the same, if possible.

    There are many ways to determine the agents.
    Rule : It can be used via Function module(by abap coding & need to be suffixed with US for User & respectively) or Responsibilities created at Rule level or directly using Organization and there are many other options provided at that level.
    Organization: To assign the whole Organization and it is mostly high level & workitem will be sent to all the users assigned to that Organization.
    Position: To assign the Position directly assigned & workitem will be sent to all the users holding that position.
    Coming about your question:
    1) For determining Approvers i have position data available with me.
    You can either assign it at User Decision level directly or if you want to do any validations, you can even do it in Custom method or Function module through RH_GET_STRUCTURE where you need to pass Position & retrieve Users.
    You can look at the below link:

  • Spend Limit Approver for User in Organisation structure

    Hi All,
    User X is having 'A' as SLAPPROVER in organisation. Business wants to include 'B' and 'C' also as SLAPPROVERS for User X in organisation structure.
    Is this feasible?Please let me know.
    Regards

    Hi,
    For the single step spending limit workflow (WF10000276), if the approval limit of the manager1 of the employee is exceeded, then the workitem will be sent to the spending limit approver of manager1 and so on. So each user should have only one SLapprover maintained in the org structure.
    However for the n-step value limit approval workflow, WF14000109, the system determines the first approver based on his approval limit, if this approval limit is exceeded then further approvers will be determined until the last approver has been found with an approval limit that is higher than the value of the shopping cart.
    Kind regards,

  • Organisation Structure and Other Modules

    Hi
    I would like to know if each and every sub-module has a structure for itself or do they use the structure we create in OM.
    E.g
    Organisation Structure gives me a structure of the Org Units. I want to know if the same structure would be used by SD/Financials/MM etc
    Appriciate your valuable answer
    Rgds
    Aravind

    Hi,
    HR contains all data related to HR system, similarly SD MM contains data related to SD MM. All the modules are integrated in SAP. Now come to your question. Org Structure should be same for a client in different module.

  • Help required on Organisation Structure

    Dear All,
    I wanted to prepare a Organisation Structure for one of our Client.
    The Business process is like this , there is one Head office , 25 Branches & 50 Service centres .
    The Head Office & Branches have similar function, i.e of booking the orders , checking the stock ( branches also stock the material ) ,if avialable than despatch, if the stock is not avilable than the stock is replenished from the main warehouse.
    The service centre recieves complaints & defective goods under warranty from the customer , checks  for availabilty of material , issues fresh material  in place of defective material & sends it to the customer ,incase of material is not available than the requistion for the same is sent to the main warehouse & on reciept from warehouse the material given to the client.
    In such scenario, how should I map my Organisation structure.
    Secondly what factors decide whether a unit is to be treated as a plant or a storage location.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    My suggestion is to have
    1 company code
    25 purchasing organizations (or maybe less if you are able to put some of them together)
    50 plants
    but I would need to know much more about how the company works.
    A purchasing organization is defined as:
    A purchasing organization is an organizational unit within logistics subdividing an enterprise according to the requirements of Purchasing. It procures materials and services, negotiates conditions of purchase with vendors, and bears responsibility for such transactions.
    The definition for plant:
    An organizational unit serving to subdivide an enterprise according to production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning aspects. It is a place where either materials are produced or goods and services provided.
    The defnition for storage location is:
    An organizational unit allowing the differentiation of material stocks within a plant. All data referring to a particular storage location is stored at storage location level. This applies mainly to storage location stocks.
    So deciding if you create a plant with only one storage location assigned or with more than one, it depends if you need to divide your goods in different locations. if they are all grouped in the same location, you can decide to have only one storage location per plant.
    For more information about this you can checl the online help:

  • Inactive employees not showing in the organisational structure

    We have employees who are in positions but may be on extended unpaid leaves of absence which means they have an inactive employment status.  In the organisational structure their position is there, but their name is not displayed.  Does anyone know how we can show inactive employees in the structure? 
    Thanks Tanya

    Hi, this is fine for HR if they are looking in the backend, but when the managers see their employees on the MSS portal, for those inactive employees, they do not see the name, because the view is current.
    Thanks Tanya

  • A possible guide to organisational structure in Aperture

    My take is that one should first think of an ‘exclusive’ organisational structure, ie, a structure that is unambiguous, that says this picture should be here and not anywhere else, and implement that structure using projects and blue folders. Such a structure could be based on, eg, holiday locations, type of events and the events themselves, or customers.
    Secondly, one should think about how else one wants to access ones images and use albums for that (and group with folders when necessary). This often can be done via topical criteria (eg., people vs landscapes). Using keywords and other metadata in conjunction with search and smart albums falls into the same category. To a certain extent this topical structure can and will be identical with the 'exclusive' one.
    A lot of people choose the date as an unambiguous criteria. That is a somewhat lazy and unimaginative way (but it naturally works). But I think it is worth to make the effort to create a more descriptive structure

    And then there's "The DAM Book", which a lot of photographers adhere to. This book's whole reason for being is to present an organization for storing digital assets.
    However, I suspect a lot of us have developed a "modified" version of that gospel.

  • Staffing status within organisational structure - adding options (fields)

    Hello
    within the organisational structure (PPOME) on a position, on the basic data tab there is a drop down table marked STAFFING STATUS.  Could you please tell me if there is a way to add to this list to seperate the position into various assignments and statuses.
    thank you
    Emma

    Hi Emma,
    These staffing status values of positions reside in the "value range" part of  domain "HRPOSSTAT".
    In order to add new values, you need an access key to repair this object.
    Repair activities are not advised so please think twice before carrying out the activity.
    P.S. To check Domain value range, go to SE11, select "Domain", write HRPOSSTAT, change -You'll need the access key right at this point-, Value range tab, add new values .
    Regards,

  • Details Designer for Organisational Structure

    Hi,
    I see that the position hierarchy detail's designer comes with a "Structure" tab as default. I am trying to get this to appear for the Organisational Structure but having no luck.
    Can this be achieved within the console?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Concerning your response
    "I'm afraid this needs to be manually coded using linked configurations. You may also need to create your own XSL."
    as we face exactly the same problem, could you please be more specific on what has to be done so that we will be able to see the extra tab? I mean, we can see it in the administrator's console, but not in the user. It would be of great help if you could describe the steps and the content of what should be added, as we have no experience in xml coding.
    Thank you very much,
