Importing departments and creating the Department Tree


Some while ago I was asked to import departments from a Non-PeopleSoft system and to generate the department tree for these departments. As usual you start off by looking for Vanilla solutions. What I have understood, is that the department tree is usually created manually and using the TreeManager utility TreeMover they are copied across environments. So PeopleSoft has a Vanilla solution for importing and creating department trees. However, after examining the TreeMover, which is a powerfull tool I have to admit, it is a feasible solution only if already a department tree is created manually.

Why do I say this?
