Documentation
Definition
Allows you to mark a particular organizational unit as a department. This practice, which is optional, relates to integration.
If integration with Payroll Accounting is active, certain records are written from Personnel Management to Master Data. If you flag organizational units as departments, only the marked units are written to Master Data.
Marking units as departments makes sense when your organizational structure includes organizational units that are not actual departments (for example, a special project team).
NOTE: In order for the department marks to be recognized, you must also make adjustments in Customizing.
Use
- To mark an organizational unit as a department, select the check box.
- To remove the flag, deselect the check box.
