Creating positions through decision packages

You can create positions also through decision packages using the Position tab.

To calculate workforce costs that are associated with these positions, you can use salary, supplemental pay and benefit configurations that are maintained in Workforce Budgeting.

You can use decision packages to request new positions if you require a budget approval for them. You can use the decision packages for an approval to various costs that also include non-workforce related costs. For example, when you open a new office, you would include workforce, rent, equipment, and service costs in your budget approval. Costs not related to workforce are reflected only in Finance core reporting.

A decision package workbook is a template from which you can create multiple decision packages. To access available decision packages, click Home > Workflow and Workbooks > Decision Packages.

This feature is available if decision packages are activated in Business Modeling > Manage Model > Activate Modules. For applications that are based on Designer, click Home > Global Settings > Module Activation for feature activation.

The Position tab is available in decision packages with organizations. You can select positions that are still pending approval and hide them. After the decision packages are approved, the positions including their workforce costs are automatically added to Position tab. The financial planning step must have organizational planning activated and be submitted to the workflow. Workbook configuration for the decision package must be completed. The workbook must be published to the workflow and the workflow configuration must be completed.

Note: Decision packages and related configuration is accessible from Workforce Budgeting module with the corresponding application role. Infor Dynamic Enterprise Performance Management Workforce Budgeting User Guide describes main configurations that must be completed to allow users request new positions through decision packages.
