Job field default rules
Field default rules determine which attributes of a job are carried over into positions, requisitions, and work assignments at the organization level. For example, if a job is exempt from overtime, you can apply that attribute automatically to requisitions and work assignments involving that job. This attribute is then a default value on the requisition and work assignment. Default rules may also carry over the changes to related positions and work assignments when the default rule is Default No Override or Default With Override.
When you create field default rules, specify one of the options in this table for each field and specify the effective date on which the value option is to take effect.
| No Default | The attributes value is not carried over to positions, requisitions, and work assignments. It may carry over a default value from an Organization Unit. If a field is required, default values (including blank values) do not overwrite a populated field (such as location code). |
| Default With Override | The attributes value is carried over to positions and then to
work assignments. If the value is overridden and out of synch, changes to the field do
not carry forward. The attribute value is reset to a default value on new requisitions
but you can override it. Note: This option is not supported for work assignments that are imported into
Infor HR Talent by the work assignment data load
program or by the Infor Spreadsheet Designer.
|
| Default No Override | The attributes value is carried over to positions and then to work assignments. The values cannot be overridden and changes to the field carry forward. The attribute value is set to a default value on new requisitions and cannot be changed. |
Field default rules can also be defined for positions.
You can select a default option for the job fields that are shown in this table. The same option is applied to requisitions and work assignments. Step and grade fields are never set to a default of requisitions, and job category and subcategory fields are never set to a default of work assignments.
| Field | Default to requisition | Default to work assignment |
|---|---|---|
| Salary Structure | Yes, by way of the position | Yes, by way of the position |
| Salary Structure Grade | Yes, by way of the position | Yes, by way of the position |
| Step and Grade Schedule | No | Yes, by way of the position |
| Step Pay Grade | No | Yes, by way of the position |
| Exempt from Overtime | Yes, directly | Yes, directly |
It is unlikely that you will be required to change your organization's job field default rules. If you do change them, the new Default No Override field values are not automatically updated to the position, requisition, or work assignment records. It is your organization's responsibility to update these field values on affected records.
