Move a Station to Other Region (Reparenting)

The ability to move stations to a different Region within the Organizational structure is called Reparenting in the application. Reparenting enables at the Station level, this means only stations and corresponding units and positions can be moved to a different Region.

IMPORTANT
It is very important to use caution when re-parenting stations because all corresponding units and positions will follow that Station and re-parenting could result in an undesirable outcome. For example, historical records will change as past rosters will show the new parent association, which may include finalized records. Export interfaces, such as payroll, CAD, and RMS may fail and data mapping elements may need reconfiguration. Auction items might need to be regenerated to show the new parent association. Dynamic Conditions and Rules referencing organization gray numbers may need to be reconfigured to point to the new gray number. Attachments within Institution Focused databases may need to be recreated or removed. Changes may not be undone. Note: Reparenting disables for an organizational level referenced in the Dimensions Business Structure¹.
