Leading position in org structure

[Soady, Phil]

Rogue entries in HRP1001. Are you sure ?
Perhaps they are from An interface ?
A user typed them in ?
 are you checking without regard to date ?
 
PPOME allows deletion, but delimiting entries is best, unless
the data was Never correct. Then delete it.
If you cant get to the relationships you need in PPome to kill them, try PP01.
 
good luck,

Jeroen,
 
Thanks for the quick reply.
Debugging the FM I found that table HRP1001 is being queried against the manager's org unit. Several lines are returned including 3 with the B 012 (is managed by...) relationship.
 
One of the B 012 records is for the position of the correct manager. The other 2 B 012 records are for positions of managers that manage different org units on the same level as the correct manager.
 
Given that the org structure was only created using PPOM transaction and looks correct when viewed using PPOM - i.e. there is only one head of department of the org unit, any clues as to how these rogue relationships might have been created? And the obvious next question: what is the easiest way to remove them safely.
 
The workflow is currently saying that the personnel number has more than one manager.
 
Thanks again.

Hi Nicholas,
 
The function module should only return the manager of the org unit as identified by the 012 relationship between the manager's postion and the org unit objects.
 
Just debug the FM as this will show you were the problem is. I expect that you either have multiple 012 relationships for the org unit or multiple holder relationships (008) for the manager's position.
 
 
Regards,
 
 
Jeroen

Hello,
A quick problem,
 
I'm using the function module RH_GET_LEADING_POSITION to find the position of the manager of a personnel number. I would like this to return just the position of the immediate manager going up the org structure from the personnel number.
 
What actually happens is that as well as returning the immediate manager position the function module also returns the positions of some (but no
all) of the managers on the same org level as the immediate manager of the personnel number. i.e. the other manager positions are not in the approval line for the personnel number.
 
Any ideas how I can make sure I only get the immediate manager of a personnel number and not other managers on the same org level that are responsible for a different org unit?
 
Thank you for any hints or alternative function modules.
 
 
Kind regards,
