Department Organizational Unit Trees

If you use departments as the organizational unit, and if you are using PeopleSoft Resource Management's integration with PeopleSoft HCM, you can use the existing HCM department tree. Use the TreeMover Application Engine process (TREEMOVER) to copy the existing PeopleSoft HCM department tree to the Financials database if it does not already exist.

In the Financials database, you can modify the tree to support the resource management operation.

Important:

If you copy an existing tree from the HCM database to the Financials database to use as the organizational unit tree, the Department organizational unit tree in PeopleSoft Resource Management is not automatically updated each time that a value changes in the PeopleSoft HCM tree. For example, if a department is added or removed from the PeopleSoft HCM department tree, you must update the tree in PeopleSoft Resource Management.

Periodically complete these steps using the TreeMover process to update the organizational unit tree in PeopleSoft Resource Management with changes from the corresponding tree in PeopleSoft HCM:

1. Export the tree from the HCM database.

2. Import the tree in the Financials database.
