Practical difference of Organization Tree and Department TreeContent
Hello,
Currently we are using Organization Tree to drive security of our Departments. Although currently "working" for us, we didn't have a common "framework" of the tree levels across countries so then we are planning to re-built our organization tree also for reporting purposes (e.g. each country having 5 levels: Global, Country, Legal Entity(ies), Department Scope (Global/Regional/Country), Department Functions (Operations, HR, IT, etc) and the Departments).
The problem is that for some countries, this kind of "framework" does not fit to drive secutiry (for example, in one of the countries, HR is responsible for departments in a specific country REGION - let's say North India - and not the scope or function). So, for those cases, we were planning to have a "Department Tree" of that country, with the needed "split" and, when assigning "Area of Responsibilities" of that country, instead of using our "Organization Tree", using our Department Tree.
