Introduction

The target operating model (T.O.M) is enhanced to reuse the existing Organizational charts which are created either through New Application Wizard or Organization landing page. The user must convert the organizational chart in order to use it as 'Operating Structure'. The Convert button is available on header of the Operating Structure landing page.

Traditional methods of creating an Org chart (OOTB)

Possible ways of creating Org charts in an application during implementation layer are

1. Go to Application > New Application
2. Go to Configure > Org & Security > Organization > Organizational Chart

When the Org charts along with units/ divisions are created by either of the methods listed above, during CLM implementation at client side, all these artefacts can now be reused as-is in Operating Structure. As Operating structure feature is tightly coupled with the CLM onboarding cases, clients can reuse the Org related artefacts without the need of manual deletion and recreating them in Operating Structure Landing page.
