Wiki: IDLN

LOCATIONS#

The Locations (IDLN) form defines all of the work sites, premises and addresses where employees are located and where the organization's business is carried out.

This section explains the Define Locations (IDLN) screen and its associated fields.

Locations define:

an entity’s address,
the main area where a department functions,
where a position’s function is performed, and
where an employee performs their function.

The employee’s assignment will inherit the location code either from the position definition or, if no position is defined, from the department definition.

A minimum of one location must be defined per business address.

Locations can be sub-divided into specific locations as required.

For example, the San Francisco headquarters may be a location with two sub-locations of the Berkley and San Jose offices.

A sub-location could also represent an area within a building.

For example, the San Francisco headquarters may be divided into the general office, executive office and shipping and receiving ocations.

The highest level of definition may be one location for the whole organization. The lowest level of detail may be individual cubicles, workstations, telephone lines, etc. Lower levels of location detail may be required if user-defined reporting such as generation of telephone listings, safety/emergency maps and diagrams etc. are planned.

_The locations where an employee works are used to determine the taxation jurisdiction for calculating work taxes._
