Hi Nevin,

If I understood your requirement correctly, you have One Manager XYZ responsible for two different Company codes.

We cannot place one manager physically under 2 Org structures.

However the workarounds are:-

Hope this would be helpful.

1.    NEXT ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT attribute

    Please tell whether the monetary Role of the manager in both the org structure is same or      different. Manager with lower role or higher role.

    If manager is having different monetary role, in one org structure higher role and another      lower role or same, then you can use this Attribute

    NEXT ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT at the Node level and not user level.

    You can place the manager at one of the Org structre prefereably where it has highest role.

    In another Org strucuture you can create a blank node for that manager department and      just one level below that

    manager in the org structure (PPOMA approach) you can use this NEXT ORG Unit attribute      to call the Manager placed in another org structure. You just need to pass the ORG ID of      the manager (actually placed in another org structure) where it is placed in the above      case.

    The above case checks for the value and other configuration and if all conditions passes to      trigger the required manager then only triggers the missing manager and fetches from the      other ORG structure

2.    ADHOC approver

    If the above option does not work then only possiblity is to place the manager in one of the      ORG structure and let another ORG structure manually add the missing approver as      ADHOC approver.

Thank you
