To create a new version of an existing hierarchy:

1. Query the name of the hierarchy.

2. In the Version field, use the Down Arrow to move through existing versions of the hierarchy until you reach a version number for which no other data appears. Enter the start date for the new version.

   Note: Overlapping versions of a hierarchy cannot exist. Whenever you enter a new version of a hierarchy, the system automatically gives an end date to the existing version. Oracle HRMS retains the records of obsolete hierarchies so you do not lose any historical information.

   You can copy an existing hierarchy. See: Copying an Existing Hierarchy

3. Query the top position name into the Position block.

4. In the Subordinates block, select the immediate subordinates for the top position.

5. To add positions below one of these immediate subordinates, check the Down check box for the position.

   The Position block now displays the position you selected. You can add subordinates to this position. To return to the previous level, check the Up check box.
