Organizational Hierarchy for workflow in PPOMW

Hello,
For my workflow, I'm maintaining an organizational structure in PPOMW and have added positions such as CEO, manager, officer, clerk to that structure. I've also assigned users to each of the above positions. Finally, I've checked the checkbox for CEO as the "Head of the own organizational unit".
Currently, when I use the the FM 'RH_STRUC_GET' passing any of the lower positions such as clerk or officer with 'WEGID' = 'MANAGER', it returns 'CEO' as the manager for any of these positions.
I've moved the manager, officer and clerk "in sequence" using the "move up/down in rank" button. But, how can I assign hierarchies between each of those positions so that clerk reports to officer who reports to manager who reports to CEO?
thanks

Well, I guess normally you would use organizational structures/units for that kind of purpose.
You have org. unit. let's say "the headquarters". The CEO will be the head of this org. unit. His direct employees will also work in the same org. unit and thus report to the CEO. Then under the headquarter you will have other org units. For example Accounting, Production, etc. Clerk officer is the head of accounting org. unit, and he will also report to CEO. But under him there can be other positions who in turn report to clerk officer, etc. Just an example.
But this doesn't actually have anything to do with workflow. You should speak to your HR colleagues, they will know this stuff much better. Or ask from HR forum. After your org. structure is set up, you can perhaps then use it in your workflow to find your approvers, etc.

How to modify organizational structure for workflow?

Hi,
What is the best practice for modifying the organizational structure for workflow? I know I can do all the changes in development and move it to production via transport system but is that always required.
It seems tedious to transport the org plan from dev to prod every time there is a position change etc.
And it does not allow you to change it in production since the client is locked.
I don't even have all the users I have in production in my dev box so I can't assign the correct ones to positions. Would it mean I have to have the users in the dev box mirror the ones in production?
Thank you,
Sergiy

This answer depends on the HR managment that you have there, if the HR area is a good coordinated area the best answer is to configure the system for automatic transports and pass the HR structures in this way, you can lock some dangerous infotypes in the T77TR tables and be sure that you will not have any trouble with that data. the best thing using this option is to have a specific DEV client to transport the HR structures.
If you will not have any control between the Dev Environment changes and some people will modify in Prod and other people will make transports in a Dev environment, the best option is to open the client and modify the Org structures every time you need it.
Refers to the SAP Press book Practical Workflow, section 5.4.2.

Sql statement for Organization Hierarchy

Good day,
Just wondering if there's a script/sql statement that would generate the Organization Hierarchy (similar to Organization Hierarchy Editor) in Oracle HRMS EBS 11.5.10

New employee organization hierarchy version in HRMS doubles dashboard totals in OBIEE

Hi,
On creation of a new version of the Employee Organization hierarchy, some of the OBIEE dashboards & analyses that were oracle seeded function show ...
Total Employee headcount = total employee headcount from hierarchy ver 1 + total emp headcount hierarchy ver 2
Which is incorrect and misleading in the reports. (Similar issues for FTE..... )
Firstly, is this normal ----- or has the versioning been implemented incorrectly, or is there missing aggregation at the Ebusiness, BI rpd or dashboard level?
Secondly, what is the best solution to display the relevant hierarchy based on the report dates?
If there is further aggregation needed, how can this be added without needing to update it every time a new employee organization hierarchy version is copied?
Thanks,

Hi,

How to implement Approval hierarchy for Sales Order in Order Management.

Hi,
We need approval process for sale orders in Order Management module. Currently we are using credit HOLD option for orders at shipping level. The issue we are facing now is we can not cancel those orders who contains Service Line item in it while on HOLD. The restriction raised at the time of cancelling the order that the Line Item is "fulfilled". Service line item's get fulfilled.
Is that any other possibility to have Approval hierarchy for Sales Orders in Order Management Module? If it is possible can anybody share the related document or implementation guide?
Thanks with anticipation in advance.
Many Regards
Kaleem Bhatti

I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows. I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications. The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible." The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed. I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

Project Organization Hierarchy

Hi,
Please some one explain the Business purpose of defining Project Organization Hierarchy. Why we need to define Project & expenditure Organization Hierarchy
As per the user guide "An organization hierarchy illustrates the relationships between your organizations.When you define a hierarchy, you tell Oracle Projects which organizations are subordinate to which other organizations"
What is use of informing "Oracle Projects which organizations are subordinate to which other organizations".
If it is for reporting how it is help in the reporting? is the report rollup information in the top organizaiton?
Thanks
Govind

Hi
The organizations hierarchy is used in two places.
A) When defining burden schedule for costing or billing, you can enter burden rate (multiplier) on any level of parent organization in the hierarchy. Then run Compile. The system allocates the multiplier value to all organizations which are subordinates of the organization which hold the multiplier.
B) You can select any parent organization in the hierarchy and add to it the classification - Projects Invoice Collection Organization. The run the process to create Transaction Types in AR for that parent org. When generating invoices for a project and transferring them to AR, the system go up the hierarchy from the project owning organization till the first parent with that classification. The associate the appropriate transaction type to the invoice when imported to AR. This functionality depend on implementation options - non centralized invoicing.
I think that standard Reporting within Oracle Projects does not roll up along the organization hierarchy. However, it may be rolling up in Projects Inteligence or OBIA.

Organization Hierarchy

I am looking to build a view to bring into Discoverer creating an Organization Hierarchy. The view itself is not difficult using the information present in PER_ORG_STRUCTURE_ELEMENTS. The problem is that when drilling down to the lowest level of the Organization to show the employees in that level you lose all the employees in the higher levels. This is because the final column in the view will have a NULL value against any row that doesn't contain that number of levels in the structure. The join between PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS and the Organisation View only brings back the people where the final column is populated. Is there a way round this without using dummy levels to populate the columns in the Organisation View?
Have read the replies posted to Avinash Gupta and will investigate that. My only thought is that surely this reporting hierarchy is a really basic necessity for all companies and the issue must have been encountered before.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
Could u pls let me know how u build the Organization heirarchy and go to the employee level then in discoverer.
I think u have built the drill down heirarchy, but I can't even know how to build it.

Single hierarchy for multiple target systems

Hi,
I have a version named "Account" with a hierarchy named as "Acc2013".
the hierarchy "Acc2013" is same across Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion GL, and HFM.
how can i assign multiple node types to the same hierarchy so that i just need to maintain one hierarchy (this case account hierarchy) and select the properties pertaining to each target system?
i.e. i select the Oracle GL from the drop down and give the details for the Oracle GL then i select the HFM category from the drop down and provide the HFM related properties.
the reason why i am asking is, if i dont give the node type, all the unnecessary properties are showing up for other type of hierarchies. for e.g. there is another hierarhcy named cost center there its showing the account related properties.
to summarize, how i can utilize a single hierarchy to be used for different target systems? Appreciate your help. do i need to create different version and hierarchy for different types of target systems?

I'm late to respond to this, but I always preach to customers that it is critical for DRM to act as an enterprise view. This isn't a "System A" hierarchy, or a "System B" hierarchy, but rather it's an asset that is shared by both systems, and therefore attributes for both systems are valid. Since node types provide the ability to hide properties, many interesting options present themselves, not all of which lead to a good outcome in the longer term. If a user doesn't ever want to see properties for a particular system, it would be better to just remove their access to that property category in many cases. (They may already have read only access but they object to "being bothered" with seeing those properties.)
I've seen many DRM implementations head down the other path and end up with duplicate maintenance requirements, configuration challenges, or even having to do major reengineering efforts to transition DRM from a Finance department tool into an enterprise use case feeding a data warehouse. A current customer of mine used a scheme where a checkbox on each property category would make the properties disappear if unchecked...this worked great with a handful of node types, but unfortunately the number of node types needed to support all of these property category combinations was bound by factorial math principles. Consequently the maintenance for this solution went from unweildy to unmanageable as more "non-HFM" data was added to DRM.
DRM implementations should be guided by governance principles and maintenance business rules, rather than than how things appear in DRM. It's how they appear when published that is of primary importance. I think the new features related to Data Governance will help greatly in this regard. Users that are overwhelmed by the DRM UI can easily be limited to the attributes that are relevant to their specific workflows, and only the "Power users" will see everything.

Can we default the latest organization hierarchy when opening the org hierarchy form?

We have several versions of the organization hierarchy. The older versions are end dated and the newer version(say version number 5) is active now.
When the users go into the organization hierarchy form, it takes us to the first version and then users have to use the down arrow on the key board to get to the latest active version. Sometimes, the users are forgetting they have to go to the new version and making changes in the incorrect version. Is there a way to always default the latest version to show up first when the form is opened?
Thanks for your help..
-Jay

One thing I noticed is that the default numbering given to the hierarchies is 1,2,3,4 and 5 ...etc with 1 being the oldest. For my hierarchies, If I give numbers as 5,4,3,2,1 with 5 being the oldest, it is showing the latest version 1 as soon as we open the form. This is helping me address my requirement. Any ideas if this is going to cause any problems anywhere if I change the default numbering of the hierarchies?
Thanks
Jay

Position Hierarchy Vs Organization Hierarchy

Hi
Our organization is position driven organization. I want to know what are the main advantages and disadvantages for Position Hierarchy and Organization Hierarchy.
Because on top the hierarchies we will create security profiles.
Can I have any document where I can find the comparison between both of these hierarchies.
Thanks
Gaurav

No, the supervisor hierarchy is constructed simply by specifying supervisors on assignments.
Added complexity can be added to the supervisor hierarchy in a multi assignment environment; you can then specify a 'supevisory assignment' as well but that is rare.
It sounds like you will be invariable be drawn into using Positions. Having a 1-1 relationship between positions and employees is not unusual but be warned it can be extremely time consuming to maintain. I have been to organizations where position maintenance is virtually a full time job for a member of staff.
If you are using Appraisals, definitely make use of the supervisor hierarchy, it is hard enough to implement correctly as it is without making it harder and trying to use the position hierarchy.
You should be able to use the supervisor hierarchy for the OTL and iRec approval processes too but I'm happy to defer to other experts on the forum for those.

Consolidated organization hierarchy

Hi experts
Who has experience with the so called Consolidated organization hierarchy. can somebody give me the steps.
Thanks

Hi
There is no method that maintain average item cost accross organizations.
You might consider maintaining only one inventory organization, with separate sub-inventories for each location.

Organization Hierarchy Leavels

Hi SAP Experts
Is there a way to maintain Organization Hierarchy level against each org. unit?
For example
Organization Unit - Chairmanu2019s office --- Level 1
Organization Unit - Director's office --- Level 2
Organization Unit - Marketing Department --- Level 3
Please give your suggestions, as per the SAP standard if this is not possible please suggest me how to customize the above requirement.
Regards
Venkat

Dear Venkat,
Run RH_STRUC_GET function module where object type = O, object id = root org unit ID, ACT_WEGID (evaluation path) = O-O_DOWN BEGDA&ENDDA = SY-datum (today's date).
When you run the FM open RESULT_STRUC structure. There Level column holds the level info you're looking for and objid is the connected organizational unit code.
