Use the hierarchy diagrammers to create a new version of an existing organization or position hierarchy.

   To create a new version of an existing hierarchy:

1. Open the Organization or Position Hierarchy window using the Diagrammer menu option. This displays a cut-down version of the Hierarchy window.

   Note: To create hierarchies containing organizations from only one business group, choose the Diagrammer Local option. To include hierarchies from more than one business group, choose the Diagrammer Global option. The availability of these options depends on whether your system administrator has granted you access to the local or global versions of the windows using function security

   See Menu Structure

2. Query the name of the hierarchy.

3. 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.

   Overlapping versions of a hierarchy cannot exist. When you create a new version of an existing hierarchy, the system automatically gives an end date to the existing version. Oracle HRMS retains all previous versions of hierarchies for historical information.

4. Save your work.

5. Choose the Open Editor button to open the Hierarchy Diagrammer window. The new version of the organization or position hierarchy is displayed.

6. Modify the hierarchy to add, move or remove organizations or positions to create the new hierarchy.

7. . Save your hierarchy. The hierarchy diagrammer commits the changes to your database to create the new hierarchy.

   You can also create a new hierarchy by copying an existing hierarchy and modifying it.
