LPL Condition Display

I am trying to obtain the division and region based on the HR Org Unit and display the information on LRCDetail. How would I go about doing this using LPL to obtain the desired results?

REGION

Example: Employee 12345 is in HROrg 401. HROrg 401 reports to ParentUnit 134. HROrg 134 reports to ParentUnit 19. HROrg 19 has a Unit Type = Region; then populate this field with ShortDescription

DIVISION

Example: Employee 12345 is in HROrg 401. HROrg 401 reports to ParentUnit 134. HROrg 134 reports to ParentUnit 19. HROrg 19 reports to HROrg 8 which has a Unit Type = Division; then populate this field with ShortDescription

I found this a while ago. It should get you started.

HROrganizationUnit is a BusinessClass

owned by hr

Derived Fields

Region is a DerivedField

type is Alpha size 30

UnitChainTemp = blank

if (UnitType = "REGION")

UnitChainTemp = Description

else

for each HROrganizationUnit ancestors

if (each.UnitType = "REGION")

UnitChainTemp = each.Description

end for each

return UnitChainTemp

Hi Jose - we needed something similar. We created user fields on the WorkAssignment business class to hold the upward hierarchy. For example we have a unit type of Entity which our 2nd to top level:

WorkAssignment is a BusinessClass

owned by hr

Derived Fields

SLHRHROUENTITYSHDESC is a DerivedField

type is Alpha size 20

if (HROrganizationUnit exists)

for each HROrganizationUnit ancestors

if (each.UnitType = "ENTITY")

return each.ShortDescription

end for each

So for each workassignment record we can see the associated hrorganizationunit at the entity unit type.
