More Information

If you use formal positions, you define position rules in Position Rules (PA06.1) that describe your position management business requirements. Position rules must be established before positions can be defined.

The position defaults you define in Position Item Attributes (HR10.2) automatically fill in position information on employee and requisition records when you use the default option.

You can budget and track positions and the FTE (Full-Time Equivalents) factors for each process level and department.

You assign effective dates to track historical data for positions codes. For example, if the job associated with a position changes, you can create a new effective dated record with the new information. There is certain automated history correction functionality available which is specified on the Special Processing tab. The special processing is available for the most recent position record only.
