Link Business Functions and Departments

A business unit running a business function indicates that the business unit has a department performing that function.

For example, the business unit running the accounts payable business function has at least one accounts payable department.

Another example is a business unit running a sales business function. This business unit has both sales and marketing departments.

Sales and marketing department hierarchies are maintained in the sales application using the resource manager functionality. The department hierarchy used by Human Capital Management (HCM) can overlap, align with, or differ from the sales organization hierarchy in both the number of levels and the organizational lines.
