What happens to a user's OU if the associated Accounting OU becomes inactive?

When the Accounting Organizational Unit (OU) becomes inactive, the system does not automatically alter the user's OU to another active unit or remove it entirely. Instead, the user's OU remains as part of the record until an active OU is selected to replace the inactive Accounting OU. This allows for continuity in record keeping and ensures that the historical association of the user with the Accounting OU is preserved, even if it is no longer active.

This approach upholds data integrity by keeping the former organizational structures intact until a conscious decision is made to update or change the user's association. It also avoids disruptions that might occur with automatic adjustments to user records, which could lead to discrepancies or loss of important information regarding user affiliation in the context of reporting and audits.
