Organization Hierarchy

Combines certain types of organizations to represent a structure

Organizations (Not Org Hierarchies)

Workday assigns transactions to ONLY what object?

Supervisory

The primary organization for Workday HCM, as it groups workers into a management hierarchy. Jobs, positions, and compensation structures are associated with supervisory organizations. Hire workers into jobs or positions associated with this org type.

Location

Org type that represents the physical location of the worker (or business asset)

Region

Org type that is an optional organizational structure used to reflect the area of responsibility for a worker instead of the work location - which is different than the location hierarchy.
