This function is used to define the organization hierarchy through designations. Reckoner ERP provides for four levels of hierarchy split up into groups – Top Level Management and Departments. The first group comprises those who have cross-functional roles, while the second group comprises module-specific functional designations in three hierarchical levels. Note that these hierarchical designations are meant for System Administration purposes only for granting authorization. They are not to be confused with salary hierarchy or seniority.
For example, a personal secretary to a CEO could be defined in Top Level Management because of his or her need to access information from different modules.
Users do not have direct function access. When a user is created, he does not have any rights to perform action on any function. The function access is through designations. Therefore, it is necessary to assign at least one designation to a user, though a user can hold more than one designation across departments. Designations are defined within departments. It is possible that different departments can have similar or different designations. Within a department you can define designations upto four levels including the Top Level Management. For example –
Manufacturing Department
Director – Top Level Management
GM (Technical) – Top Level Management
Factory Manager
Supervisor
Technician
