You are not the candidate/staffing manager for the specified org unit

[Former Member]

Hi all.

With cProjects 4.0 (SP10) we are using the staffing scenario "Resource manager via responsible organization" meaning that the role will be directed to the organizational unit specificed in the "staffing process" tab who then handles the staffing.

Despite the above I get the messages from the Subject header when maintaining the role

"

You are not a candidate manager for the specified or initial organizational unit

"

"

You are not a staffing manager for the specified organizational unit"

"

As the scenario builds upon the project creating requirements through the role the above messages seem unlogical.

Is there an explanation for why the messages are received?

Best regards / Anders

Hi Anders,

You would need to be assigned to the Organizational Unit specified in the staffing process in order to maintain the roles.

Hi.

I also assume that is meaning of the message - but is that logical in this staffing scenario?

The project (leader) should create & update the role and then hand it over to the org unit for staffing by changing the status of the role "Start staffing process". The above message should not be received upon setting that status.

It can not be the intention that the project leader should be assigned as a resource manager to all possible org units.

Phrasing it differently, when the status of the role only is "Staffing in preparation" the project leader must be able to update it including setting the staffing status without these messages being received.

When the status of the role is Staffing in process the only thing the project leader ought to be able to do is the reset the status of the role (cancel the staffing request).
