You can define as many Extra Information Types as you require to hold information about locations. There are also some predefined person EITs.
Note: To be able to access the predefined EITs, you must link the EIT to your responsibility.
See: Setting Up Extra Information Types For a Responsibility
The predefined location EITs are:
Self Service Preference for Location - information on preferences for online documents such as the online payslip or online tax forms at the location level. The EIT determines whether the documents are available online or in a printed format, what template you are using for XML Publisher, the stored procedure you want to use, and the date when you want to implement these changes.
Note: You can also enter this information at the person, business group, or HR organization level.
See: Person Extra Information Types
See: Entering Self-Service Preference Information
These information levels are arranged in a hierarchy; if you define self-service preferences at the person level, the settings will override any other settings made at the location, business group, or HR organization level. Similarly, if you define self-service preferences at the location level, the settings override any settings at the business group or HR organization level. Settings at the HR organization level will override settings at the business group level.
Geographic Hierarchy Node Map - you can use this EIT with the calendar events you set up to identify a different geographical entity in the geographic hierarchy. If the calendar event includes the node you select, and then the worker becomes applicable for the event. The node you select here overrides the information at the business group level.
If you want to override this node for a specific worker, then you can define the assignment EIT to identify a different geographical entity in the hierarchy.
