Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (Paraphrased from Workday Pro HCM Core – Organizations Setup and Management Guide 2023R2):
When creating a new supervisory organization that should inherit attributes such as staffing model, company, and cost center from an existing organization, you use the Create Subordinate task.
This task creates the new subordinate organization directly under a superior supervisory organization. It automatically copies inherited settings such as visibility, organization assignments, and staffing model, ensuring hierarchical alignment and simplifying setup.
Option B (Create Supervisory Organization) creates a brand-new top-level supervisory org without inheritance.
Option A (Assign Roles) only assigns role-based permissions after creation.
Option C (Assign Included Organizations) is used for related org relationships, not for hierarchical creation.
Thus, Create Subordinate is the correct task when the new org must inherit settings from a superior one.
