Concept: Dividing Organizations
Workday enables you to create a new sibling organization and select which subordinate organization to move into it. Example: your company is restructuring and a new organization is created at the same level with employees from a different organization.
You can divide these organization types:
- Supervisory Organizations
- Company Hierarchies
- Cost Center Hierarchies
- Location Hierarchies
- Region Hierarchies
- Custom Organizations
