[OAUGNet]-Re: PO / HR question

[Dhanunjay <dj@ksourceinc.com>]

Hi Jim,

Please find below my experiences while implementing PO/iProc where HR is
installed.

We had to suggest two segment Position Flexfield: Position Code.Position
Name

Position Code: Numeric, 6 to 10 Digits based on Client preference
Position Name: Description of the Position  

Since Position Hierarchy does not support One to Many relationship, It
was found that defining unique positions (Position Code.Position Name)
was helpful to build the Position Hierarchy. 

Generally in iProc implementations, there is a possibility that the
number of requestors are more accessing the system and if you might
want to have requisition hierarchy built in from Requestor level to
Final Approver level. In such cases, it is better to have unique
position codes to identify each requestor and subsequently thier
requisition approval path.

Positions are defined for HR organization. Position Hierarchy is not
constrained by inventory orgs. You could have requisitioner in One Org
(Inventory Org or Department) and Approver in another Org. Once
Requisition is approved, then it enters the Procurement Cycle where
Buyer Initiates and then it follows PO approval Path.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Is there anyone using a full install of HR with
Purchasing and/or iProcurement?  If so, could you
contact me regarding to how you set up your HR
positions and the PO position hierarchy?

We are using position hierarchy, rather than
manager<>employee relationship to do routing for
approvals and are struggling with what is the most
effecient way to set this up and not require a lot of
maintenance within HR.  (AME is not an option for us
because we can not upgrade to 11.5.10 at this time)

How many segments do you have in your position
flexfield?
How are the segments defined?
How is your organization defined?
Do you have any situations where a requisitioner can
be in one org, but the buyer/approver is in a
different org?
Do you have any situations where you have multiple
people with the same position, in an org who need to
be requistioners or buyers?

Any input into your structure would be appreciated.
