Hi,

Based on our organizational structure, a department has multiple projects/assignments.

Thus during onboarding, we need to assign the employee to a Project within the department.

Please advise if there is an existing field that we can use within D365 HR.

Thanks

Anisha

Assign employee to Project for a department - Which field to use ?

Hi Simon Barett & Community Team

Thanks for your response.

I have created the sub-department (cost center type) in the department hierarchy.

I would like the field to appear in the Position > General Tab when creating the position so that I can select the department and then the sub-department.

However, I cannot find/insert any field in the list related to the cost center type / sub-department (see screenshot below). Please advise.

Thanks

Anisha

Hello,

The best answer depends on what you wish to do with this information. When onboarding a new worker, a Project (and also Department) can be assigned as financial dimensions.

Alternatively, you can set up a Department hierarchy (HR > Departments) which includes sub-departments (Projects) which can then be assigned to new workers via their Position.
