Will the RA Sponsor field in ESR use the Supervisor hierarchy and if not what are the implications for more than one RA Sponsor per organisation or for individual exceptions?
No – the Supervisor hierarchy is separate. The RA sponsors are attached to organisational unit within Workstructures using a list of RA sponsors derived from those employees who have the role of ‘RA Sponsor’ defined. Where you have a hierarchy of sponsors e.g. sponsor at department level, sponsor of sponsors at a division level and sponsorship rights approver at the top level of the organisation then you should map and set these up against the equivalent organisational units in the workstructures hierarchy.
