A customer creates a new supervisory organization to inherit attributes from an existing supervisory organization.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (Paraphrased from Workday Pro HCM Core – Organizations Configuration Guide 2023R2):

When creating a new supervisory organization , Workday allows the subordinate organization to inherit key structural and configuration attributes from its superior organization. These inherited elements include:

Visibility (A): Determines who can view the organization and its members, inherited to maintain consistent access control.

Organization Assignments (B): Such as company, cost center, region, and custom organizations, ensuring hierarchical alignment.

Staffing Model (D): The staffing model (Position Management or Job Management) is inherited to ensure consistency in hiring and staffing control.

Subtype (C) and Name (E) are not inherited; they must be defined at the time of creation. Subtype determines the organization’s classification, while the name uniquely identifies it.

Reference (Paraphrased Source):

Workday Pro HCM Core – Organizations and Hierarchy Configuration Guide (2023R2), Section: “Creating Subordinate Supervisory Organizations.”

" Subordinate supervisory organizations inherit configuration from their superior supervisory organization, including attributes such as the staffing model, organization assignments, and visibility settings. This ensures consistency and reduces administrative overhead. "
