Assigning positions to departments

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ramson 45

Dear D365 Community,

We went live with D365 HR sometime in 2019 and at the time of Go-Live departments were scoped out for a varying number of reasons I am told. We now want to align positions with Departments in D365 HR and just wanted to hear from the community as to what is the best practice and/or any other special considerations.

I guess what I really need to know is what exactly does a department drive from a functional and operational view point? Am I also correct in assuming we can set set up a dynamic one to many department relationship? Can this preview differently by Business Unit?

Keen to hear from those that have implemented the department structure in D365.

Thanks

Ramson

    Hi Ramson,

    I would like to ask you a question in return. What do you hope to achieve when linking positions to departments? Is it for financial integrations, integration with other systems or just a link?

    You can only have one department linked on a position. Can you elaborate on your Business Unit related question? Do you want to link multiple departments to one business unit via organization hierarchies?
