Being in an organization that is constantly changing, we needed a way outside of the standard paper request form to get Org Units created. We modeled it after the Request Position process so that when a Generalist enters the request, it sends to the proper groups for review/approval before saving to the business class. This speeds up the request process and cuts down on double entry of the same information.
