Transfer Out and In for entire department and cost center

Question

I am attempting to create a br or calc script to move all employees from a dept and cost center combination to another dept and cost center combination. I was wondering if anyone else has solved this or if it is in fact possible to do this. When you have 1 or 2 hundred employees that need to be moved it hurts to think of having to move them all one at a time using the traditional transfer out br and then the transfer in br.

Answer 1

I have not done this but I am sure this can be done. In default transfer rule, employee member is a prompt. In your case, you need to copy the rule and fix on level zero level employee dimension instead of employee prompt. That should pretty much take care of everything.
However, you might run into few issues when employees are transferred out but not transferred is as yet and multiple users run this rule. Then you will lose reference to employees transferred out from a particular department. Since your example might be more valid in cases where departments are closed in GL systems, it might be a good option to make the rule to transfer out and transfer in at same time in a single business rule.
