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:

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.
