Job Mapping
Job mapping enables you to associate granular human resource jobs to less-detailed project jobs that you can use for project management.
Job titles usually reflect human resource characteristics and can vary across countries or units, even within the same enterprise. For example, you may have a project manager in the United States and a chef de project in France. However, when managing projects, especially global ones, you may want to use the same job definitions for all resources rather than unique jobs that are defined by each resource-owning organization. These common, or global, jobs ease the maintenance of costing rates and processes.
Following is a description of job mapping and a brief example.
Mapping Jobs
You map jobs from two job sets through an intermediate job set. Map jobs in your human resource jobs sets to jobs from an intermediate set of jobs. You then map the jobs in the intermediate job set to jobs in your project job sets.
For each combination of From Job Set, Intermediate Job Set, and To Job Set, you manually associate the intermediate job to the to job only once. For subsequent mappings, the to job is displayed automatically when you select the intermediate job and cannot be modified.
After you map the jobs, you can use the single job Laborer for project management purposes.
