Use this procedure to copy an existing Organizational Assignment (0001) infotype record and update it with necessary changes. Using the Copy action will retain the history of the previous record.

Tips: 

Most organizational assignment data defaults from the employee’s position or organizational unit during a personnel action. You may need to work with your organizational management processor or process an action instead if the area you are attempting to update is not editable when maintaining the organizational assignment record.   Be sure to communicate with your payroll processor before entering retroactive changes to an employee’s organizational assignment (0001) record.
