Background
The FDI HCM Subject Areas return a worker's assignment information based on the anchoring date of the subject area. This includes attributes such as:
- Assignment ID
- Assignment Type
- Assignment Status
- Business Unit
- Department
- Location
- Job
- Grade
- Position
- Manager ID
- Manager Name
In addition, FDI enforces data security based on the logged-in user's access. Users can only view data for workers they are authorized to access.
Example
- Person X reports to Manager M1 until 31-Dec-2025.
- On 1-Jan-2026, Person X undergoes a Global Transfer, moves to Manager M2, and receives a new primary assignment (E2).
- When Manager M1 runs a report on 10-Jun-2026, they can continue to view Person X's historical transactional data up to 31-Dec-2025, but they cannot view any transactions that occurred after the transfer.
Person Name | Assignment Number | Manager Number | Assignment Start Date | Assignment End Date | Comments |
|---|
X | E123 | M1 | 1-1-2024 | 31-12-2025 | Global transfer |
X | E123-2 | M2 | 1-1-2026 | 31-12-4712 | |
Assume Person X had a Check-In record created in Nov-2025
Person Name | Assignment Number | Manager Number | Assignment Start Date | Assignment End Date | Check-In Date | BU | Job | Location |
|---|
X | E123 | M1 | 1-1-2024 | 31-12-2025 | 1-Nov-2025 | Fin | Analyst | Dallas |
Proposed Enhancement
This enhancement proposes exposing the latest primary assignment information of the worker in the subject area, while not exposing any additional transactional data beyond the user's existing security access.
Using the example above:
- Manager M1 continues to see only the historical transactions they are entitled to access (for example, a Check-In created by Person X on 1-Nov-2025).
- Alongside those historical transactions, Manager M1 would also see Person X's current primary assignment details, such as:
- Assignment ID: E2
- Current Manager: M2
- Current Location: Austin
- Other current assignment attributes (Business Unit, Department, Job, Grade, Position, etc.)
No post-transfer transactional records would be exposed. Only the latest assignment metadata would be displayed.
Person Name | Assignment Number | Manager Number | Assignment Start Date | Assignment End Date | Check-In Date | BU | Job | Location | Current BU | Current Job | Current Location | Current Manager |
|---|
X | E123 | M1 | 1-1-2024 | 31-12-2025 | 1-Nov-2025 | Fin | Analyst | Dallas | IT | Programmer | Austin | M2 |
Feedback Requested
We would appreciate your feedback on the following:
- Would access to the worker's latest assignment information be valuable for your reporting or business use cases?
- Do you consider exposing the latest assignment attributes (without exposing any additional transactional data) to be a security or privacy concern?
- Are there any scenarios where this enhancement could create unexpected behavior or compliance issues?
Your feedback will help us evaluate and prioritize this enhancement.
