2079991 - How to add more than one Job Relationship of the same Type - Employee Central

• This article explains how to add more than one job relationship of the same type.
• In the Job Relationships Portlet on Employment Information, it does not allow us to add more than one relationship of the same type. I have got a requirement to add Multiple 'Custom Manager' in the Job Relationships Portlet for an employee. Is there a way out to achieve this?

It is possible to select multiple custom managers or matrix managers by updating the jobRelType Picklist.

• For Legacy Picklists using Picklist Management, the picklist jobRelType need to be updated with more values and different labels - but External Code for such a row remains same as custom manager (case-sensitive). This is applicable for both 'custom manager' and 'matrix manager'. Here we create a new Custom Manager labeled Project Manager.
  
  

• For Migrated Picklists using Picklist Center, using the same External Code for multiple types of Job Relationships is not possible and an error "Duplicate External Code found for Values with value <external code>" appears when attempting to save the changes. To achieve this, use unique External Codes and you can use the same Non-Unique External Codes.
  
  
  Note: This migrated Picklist configuration for jobRelType will sync correctly to the Org Chart, User Data File (UDF), and RBP.

After making these changes, when we choose a Job Relationship, the Project Manager is now available.
