Setup Supervisor Selection Method

Explanation

This activity is used to setup the supervisor selection method to be used in the application.

In the Graphical Organization Structure window, use the “Direct Supervisor Selection” field to specify how the supervisor should be selected in the application. Available options are,

1. Based on immediate parent position.

When deriving the immediate supervisor, system will look for only the immediate Position and will traverse in the organization tree until a supervisor is found who has access to the employee’s organization.

2. Based on immediate parent position or above.

When deriving the supervisor, system will traverse in the position structure within the same Organization code until a supervisor is found. If not found, will take the next upper organization code and again traverse the position structure until a supervisor is found. This will continue until a supervisor is found. Here access to the organization would not be considered.
