Updating positions

Updating a position has an effect on associated work assignments and job requisitions, depending on the position field default rules that are in place for the organization. For example, if you select Default, no override for a position field default rule when the position field value is changed, the corresponding work assignment and requisition field value also change to that new value. If the position default rule for a job field is Default with Override when the position field is changed, then the field value is changed on the corresponding work assignment and requisition field only if the value is the same (that is, the value has not been overridden). If the value has been overridden, then the override value is retained on the work assignment and requisition. In addition, changes to the position are not reflected on existing job postings.

When a field is changed on the position or job, its associated job requisitions and job postings update accordingly. This occurs when the organization level Enable Requisition Synchronization With Job And Position Updates option is enabled and a rule is selected in its configuration.

If a position is synchronized with a manager code, the manager code's Active, Short Description, and Description fields are always synchronized to the position's Active, Short Description, and Description fields. Other field values follow the position field default rules, where applicable.

Note: 

You can also make changes to multiple positions at once.

  1. Select Administrator > Set Up > Jobs And Positions > Positions.
  2. Open the position.
  3. Edit the fields as needed, and click Save.
    Note: 

    If the position is synchronized to a job, you cannot change the Active, Short Description, and Description fields. These fields must be changed on the job record, or you must de-synchronize the position on the job record.
