Urgent - Transporting Org Chart For Workflow While Implementi ng HR

Thanks so much for the info!  I really appreciate the info.  Here's my =
remaining concern, however, then:  I can understand manually setting up =
org objects attached to responsibility rules within roles in each =
client.  But how do you handle setup of standard SAP workflows?  In a =
lot of the config in the IMG you have to specify the agent - would we =
have to do that manually in each client as well? =20
 
Thanks so much for the help!

Hi Abby,
Like any other part of the SAP system, you transport configuration data =
and development
objects but not master data.
 
So you set up your agent determination rules in your development system =
and transport
those through.  You can even set up the responsibility objects (i.e. the =
combinations
of criteria) for transport if you wish when using a responsibility rule.
 
After the transport, you then assign your HR org plan positions, org =
units, etc. to the relevant responsibilities
as part of master data setup.
 
The point of using agent determination rules (whether responsibility =
rules, function module
based rules) or expressions is so that you DON'T assign positions and =
org units directly
to workflow steps.  Your workflow is a development object and should be =
treated as such.
Using positions and org units directly against steps is best kept for =
testing purposes only.

Hi workflow experts -
 
I'm really sorry to bug y'all about this but I have searched all over =
OSS, and the workflow book, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
 
We are implementing HR along with workflow at my current client.  My =
question is - how do we handle agent assignment within workflow =
templates, and configuration of responsibility rules for roles?  HR is =
maintaining the org chart, and it's all master data - so the numbers =
won't be the same from one system to the next.  Will I need to go into =
each system and manually configure which positions & org units will be =
handling which steps, and manually configure responsibility rules within =
each client?    I'm pretty baffled/worried and any advice would be =
greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks so much - hope you're having a wonderful day!
Abby  :)
