Understanding Mass Organization Change

Governmental changes and mandates might require making the same organizational change to a large group of your PeopleSoft Human Resources records. For example, an agency restructuring may require that you transfer of a group of employees from the Office of the Director, Budget Division to the Office of the Director, Account Standards Division. Instead of performing this transfer manually, record by record, you can make the changes all at once using the Mass Organization Change functionality.

The Mass Organizational Change processes enable you to make changes based on department and position changes. Using the Mass Organization Changes features, you can:

• Transfer employees into existing departments or positions.

• Create new departments or positions, changing the organizational structure and transfer employees into the new departments or positions.

• Merge employees from multiple departments or positions into new or existing departments and positions.

You perform mass organization changes by defining the changes, setting up any necessary information, and then executing the change. Based upon the definitions you enter, the Mass Organization Change process updates the affected records. This process creates Federal personnel action changes into the system as you defined them. This occurs in the same manner as if you had entered them directly online.

Mass changes affect a large number of rows of data in the system, which makes this a powerful tool. Therefore, you must give careful consideration to selecting the person in your organization who is allowed to perform mass organizational changes.
