With FP2.0 it is possible to phase in detailed workload distribution. Starting with a default of global work assignment the customer is enabled to gradually introduce more detialed levels of workload distribution and authorizations. Approval responsibilites need to be maintained also during global work assignment. Use links for each Level to navigate to the appendix for more details based on „magic triangle“
FP2.0: Per default distribution of work is executed usnign the global work assignment rule. Global work assignment means, that in a state, in which no more detialed work distirbution rules are defined, the user gets the work based on his Work Center assignment. Example: Every user, who has the work center New Business including the work list Leads, can see all leads in the system and recives all tasks related to leads in the system. Once the customer decides have a more detailed work distibution, orgnaizational work distribution rules can be defined within the context of the orgnaizational model. In addition employee work distibution rules can be defined to address work directly to dedicated employees (e.g. in CRM – sales agent, service agent) based on their repsonsibility. Special: as of FP2.0 it is possible to maintain an employee work distribution rule for „additional approvers“. Approval Tasks can be addressed using this employee work distribution rule to other employees next to the manager, who should be enabled to also execute approvals. Further more it is also possible to define „Works for“ relationships for employees who are hired to an organizational unit, but share the workload of another orgnaizational unti (e.g. central purchasing dpartment, but decentral purchasers).
