Org Chart creation problem

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Abby,
If you don't want to relate your cost centers directly to your org chart,
then use RESPONSIBILITY RULES not Z-tables.  Responsibility rules are a
lot more flexible than z-tables and fart quicker to set up.
Covered in the book of course... but also in the SAP Library help.

Subject: Org Chart creation problem
 
 
Hi all -
 
I've hit across an interesting scenario while creating an org chart and was
hoping for some insight.
 
We are modifying the standard purchase requisition workflow slightly, but
remaining with the release strategy concept to determine users.
 
Strategy 1 chooses the approver based on the cost center
 
Strategy 2 chooses the approver based on the project (it is the project
manager).  For that we can just look inside the project definition.
 
Now, to me, it seems ridiculous - and impractical - to enter every cost
center into the org chart.  Would you recommend z-tables to determine who
the appropriate approver is?  It seems to me the most likely option.  And
if so, should the z-table hold the actual user, or his position?  Just
trying to determine....
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you so much!
