Maintain Specific Group Routing

Maintain Specific Group Routing

Certain business process types require you to specify existing and future values. Example: The
Change Organization Assignments for Worker
business process requires you to specify the existing and new organizations. These organizations typically have different people occupying different roles. However, in the business process definition, you can only select a security group such as Manager. You can’t specify whether Workday routes the business process step to the manager of the existing organization or the new organization.
You can use specific group routing for any business process step type in Workday if the security group has supervisory organization enabled for the assignable role on the
Maintain Assignable Roles
task.
For the
Change Job
business process, administrators can use specific group routing to specify whether the security group is for the organization of the Current or Proposed position.
For the
Offer
business process, administrators can specify whether the security group is:
  • Current
    to route to the security group for all locations on the job requisition.
  • Proposed
    to route to the security group on the candidate's offer proposed location.
This behavior also applies to the Ready for Hire dynamic completion step on the
Job Application
business process.
  1. Access the business process definition for which you want to enable specific group routing.
  2. From the related actions menu of the business process definition, select
    Business Process
    Edit Definition
    , and then click
    OK
    .
  3. Next to the
    Group
    specified for a business process step, click inside the
    Routing Modifier
    field. Select either
    Current
    or
    Proposed
    from the prompt.
  4. Repeat Step 3 for every business process step for which you want to enable specific group routing.
Workday routes the steps in the business process to the security group for the current or proposed assignment according to your specifications.
