59.1 Reviewing an Organizational Structure by Business Unit
From Human Resources (G08), choose Organizational Structure
From Organizational Structure (G08O2), choose Business Unit
From Organizational Structure by Business Unit (G08O20), choose Structure Inquiry
After you define an organizational structure by business unit, you can review it to analyze the reporting relationships between the business units in your organization. You can review:
-
A single-level structure that shows only the immediate children for a parent business unit
-
A multiple-level structure that shows all of the children for a parent business unit and their level in the hierarchy
-
A multiple-level structure that shows all of the children for a parent business in an indented format

Parent Business Unit
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Mode | A code that indicates the mode or style in which you want to view the business unit structure. Valid codes are:
1 – Single-level structure - shows only the immediate children for a parent business unit, such as the Human Resources and Finance offices, which might be immediate children of the business unit Office of the President. 2 – Multi-level structure - shows all descendants for a parent business unit, displaying the numbered level of the child below the parent in a non-indented format. The display can have a maximum of 25 levels. For example, the Human Resources business unit might have child business units of Benefits or Internal Training. 3 – Multiple-level indented structure - shows all descendants for a parent business unit, displaying the numbered level of the child below the parent in an indented format with a maximum of five levels of indentation. This shows the same information as code 2, but the indented format might make the display easier to read with a complex organizational structure. The following codes apply to Employee/Supervisor Organization Charts only: 4 – Displays all employees reporting to a supervisor up to a maximum of two levels. 5 – Displays all employees reporting to a supervisor up to three levels. |
| Parent Business Unit | The primary level in a business unit hierarchy. A parent in one hierarchy can be a child in a different hierarchy. |
