Multiple ways exist to create employee placement plans. The first way is to use the Transfer Entry by Dept page. With this method, you enter the placement by department. The second method is to use the Transfer Entry with Trees page. You see the current organization structure and placement, and you enter plans.

These methods are similar in that you create an Ido candidate listing, use the Transfer Entry by Dept or Transfer Entry with Trees pages, and then use the Transfer Data Maintenance page, if required. You can then check, undo, and adjust placements using the Transfer Data Maintenance page.

The third method is the Tamatsuki Transfer method to enter placements. The Tamatsuki Transfer is an optional step. Using this method, you create an Ido candidate listing, use the Transfer Entry by Dept or Transfer Entry with Trees pages, use the Tamatsuki Transfer Candidate Entry, Tamatsuki Transfer Entry, Tamatsuki Placement Check List, and Tamatsuki to Transfer Record pages, and then you use the Transfer Data Maintenance page, if required.

Security setup does not prevent users from transferring employees. Consequently, limit access to the Mass Employee Transfer page to trusted users only. Security access is invoked whenever a user clicks the View links on the Transfer Entry by Dept and Transfer Entry by Tree pages.

Use the Ido Candidate Listing page (RC_IDO_EE_LIST_JPN) to run a report that lists current information for employees.

Use it to help plan future organizational changes.

Field or Control

Definition
Load

Click the Load button to list the employees for a particular business unit and department who are available for transfer to another department.
Proc (Process)

The Proc check box is selected by default. When it is selected, employees are transferred to another department or have other job-related information changed. The changes are applied when the page is saved.

For example, department 100 is being closed. Half the employees in that department will be assigned to department 110, and the other half will be assigned to department 120. First, open this page and display all employees in department 100. Then enter a transfer to department 110 in the Change the Following Fields group box and deselect the Proc check box for those employees who should be transferred to department 120. After saving the page, enter a transfer for department 120, deselect the employees in department 110, reselect the employees to be transferred to department 120, and save the page again.

Action

Select the action to use for inserting a new Job row.
Reason

Select a code to specify why the value is being changed.
Effective Date

Enter a date to specify when the change becomes effective.
Business Unit, Department, Location Code, Supervisor Level, and Job Code

Enter values in these fields to specify new information for the employees selected.

Note: These fields should be left blank if a user does not want to change the data for the employees. For example, if you want to move employees from department 100 to 110 but want them to keep their old job codes, you would leave the Jobcode field blank on the page.

On the other hand, if you want to assign all the employees to job code J200 and change their departments, you would enter J200 in the Jobcode field.

Use the Transfer Entry with Trees page (IDO_XFR_TREE_JPN) to transfer employees between departments using trees.

  • Assigned status indicates that the post is filled.

  • Close Post status indicates that a post is terminated.

  • Create AA status is used to assign an employee an additional appointment.

    Two circumstances can result in an additional appointment. The first is a post that was a main appointment and then changed to an additional appointment. The second is a post that is an additional appointment and remains an additional appointment.
