One user (employee) assigned to multiple organisations?

[former_member283293]

Hello,

Running ECS 5.0

We are replikating our org structure from HR and due to that we have a business scenario where one user is employed in many different organisations.

The example could be a teacher that has a position in 3 different schools and should be able to create shopping carts from all 3 different schools. In the org sturcture, this would be 3 different organisational units with 3 different managers.

Is this possible to do without using the "shop on behalf of" functionality?

There is this new object generated within the Org-Structure with the prefix CP which means central person. This is a construct from HR where you can have one person referring to several positions/CPs within a company -- letz assume your teacher has 3 sub-contracts - each with 12h/week and each for a different CP-position.

This sounds interesting but this is a HR functionality built on top of the OrgMngmnt which is BC or something else generic... and of course on top of this the SRM OrgMngmnt is built on. What I want to get over here is that although one could think that such a functionality is available it is not taken into consideration by SRM necessarily. From my perspective the issues is - once user's attributes resp. hierarchy assignment is read this happens bottom up -- ie. user, position, CP, OrgUnit etc. So once you start reading at a certain point you need to decide at which CP etc. to continue.

This is not possible/implemented in SRM as far as I know. So just in case you heard of something like that possible with CPs -- I don't think that would work. But you could think about having your system 'modified' using this specific system feature?

Thanks for you replies,

We are acutally able to assign an employee to two different organisational units, but when we shop, there is no way to indicate which one I shop for.

When the SC is saved, mangers of both org units is actually approvers, so my problem is basically to indicate which org unit I shop for.

I have raised an OSS for this, so I will post their reply
