A given organization may have more than one parent. For example, organization 1319 (SEAS COPY CTR) has parents DEAS (SEAS Office of the Dean Parent) and 13XX (School Of Engineering and Applied Sciences Parent).

Cautions

• The table is only as good as its data. Spurious parent organizations may not have been removed from the table, and some parents may have yet to be added to the table.
• To create a hierarchy, use a self-join. Connect by prior may work but is not recommended.
• Data is kept only for organization codes in use. If a BEN Financials roll-up group range includes an organization code that does not exist, the table will not have a record for that organization.
• There may be records for ORGs that do not play a role in the organization hierarchy. These ORGs exist in the Ledger for particular operational purposes, and may not have parents.
• Data is kept only for the latest mapping of the organizations and their parents. Information on the parent of an organization is available only if the organization's expiration date (in the ORG_CODES table) has not passed.
