Running the Create and Maintain Company Cost Center Organizations Process

This process creates company cost center organizations for the companies in your business group. It creates an organization for each unique GL account code combination that is defined in GL, if an organization does not already exist with the same company code, company value set, cost center code, and cost center value set. You define which classifications to assign to the organization using the HR: GL Cost Center Org Classifications profile option.

The process sets the start date of the new organization to the start date of the company or cost center value set, whichever is earlier.

The process sets the end date of the new organization to the end date of the company or cost center value set, whichever is later. If no end date has been entered for either value set, then the process does not define an end date for the new organization.

Secondly the process checks for a match on organization names. If a name matches the format defined in the HR: GL Organization Name Format profile option, then the process adds any missing classifications to the organization.

Note: Run the Create and Maintain Company Cost Center Organizations process only after you create an organization to represent each of the financial companies that relate to your business group.

Additionally, you can use the Create and Maintain Company Cost Center Organizations process to update the names, and start and end dates of existing organizations created using Auto Orgs to reflect changes in the company or cost center value set.

Run the Create and Maintain Company Cost Center Organizations process in the Submit Request window. You can only run one version of this process at a time.

Note: This process is also included in the Synchronize GL Company Cost Centers with HR request set. See:Running the Synchronize GL Company Cost Centers with HR request set.
