I want to change the Direct Supervisor Selection. But I cannot do this because Validity Period is empty. 

As I understand from Community, the Direct Supervisor Selection is enabled from a later release, after our go-live. HCM When the ‘Direct Supervisor Selection’ is set to the ‘Based on immediate parent position or above’, it doesn’t display the employee’s supervisor under the ‘Employment Infor’ section in the ‘Employee File’ page. | IFS Community

When I look behind the Validity Period, it is set to be empty on the view whenever the business_unit_type is 'COMPANY'. 

Out business unit has a validity period, but not coming up in the view, because of the selection of the view - Bus_Unit_User_Org_Struct

Is this a bug?

Hi Vimukthi,

I have not come across this scenario before. When reviewing organization structures in internal environments the “validity period” is blank on structures of type “company”, while it is required for structures of type “matrix”. Thus, just in line with what you point out when looking at the system logic. This is probably due to the fact that a company structure is automatically created whenever a company is created (in Application Base Setup), while a matrix structure is created manually.

Has this company structure perhaps been created by a script, migration or in any other way by writing directly  towards the database tables, thereby disregarding system logic? In such case, this could perhaps happen.

Otherwise I would report this as a bug. I can change the setting “Direct Supervisor Selection” on all structures in our reference environments without problems.

Magnus
