Create Job Mapping

You can use job mapping to associate granular human resource jobs to less-detailed project jobs that you can use for project management. The following example illustrates how you map jobs from two job sets using an intermediate job set.

Scenario

Vision Corporation is a global enterprise with business units in the United States and France. The following table lists sample job titles in those two countries.

Job Set	Jobs
United States Job Set	Manager Staff Consultant Senior Consultant Design Engineer Electrical Engineer Construction Worker
France Job Set	Chef de Projet Ingenieur Formateur Architecte Ouvrier

For project work, Vision Corporation uses the following generic job roles, created for the Global job set:

• Project Manager

• Consultant

• Architect

• Laborer

To map the global jobs to country-specific jobs, Vision Corporation created an intermediate job set, called the Master job set, with the following jobs:

• Master Project Manager

• Master Consultant

• Master Architect

• Master Laborer

Jobs are mapped as follows for the United States job set:

Job in From Job Set	Job in Intermediate Job Set	Job in To Job Set
Manager	Master Project Manager	Project Manager
Staff Consultant	Master Consultant	Consultant
Senior Consultant	Master Consultant	Consultant
Design Engineer	Master Architect	Architect
Electrical Engineer	Master Architect	Architect
Construction Worker	Master Laborer	Laborer

Jobs are mapped as follows for the France job set:

Job in From Job Set	Job in Intermediate Job Set	Job in To Job Set
Chef de Projet	Master Project Manager	Project Manager
Ingenieur Formateur	Master Consultant	Consultant
Architecte	Master Architect	Architect
Ouvrier	Master Laborer	Laborer

Vision Corporation associates the Global job set to its planning resource breakdown structures. Therefore, jobs such as Project Manager and Laborer are available for creating planning resources. In addition, the Global job set is used to define rates that can are then used for costing, invoicing, and financial planning.
