Through this activity you can edit position details. Every job is associated with a department. Position is a combination of a department and a job.

There can be two scenarios for the position.

Position control ‘On’ Scenario: The position control is set to active or otherwise, for different jobs in the organization based on need. If the position control is set to active for the job applicable to the position, the system generates a position ID for each post. For example, if the number of posts specified is six, the system generates six position IDs.

 Position Control ‘Off’ Scenario: The combination of department and job results in a position but there would be no specification of the requirement. For example, the recruiter would indicate that the requirement is for Manager HR, but the exact specification like the grade set or grade or the employment unit or business unit etc., are not decided in advance as the position control is set to ‘Off’. Moreover no position control IDs will be generated.

You can specify the required position control ID series to the position IDs generated by the system. The position control ID series indicates the organizational and employment attributes of the position. The organizational attributes comprise details such as, regulatory region and work location for the position and the employment and business units. The employment attributes consist details such as,  reporting to position, maximum headcount, Current head count, FTE and also the details whether the corresponding position is regular or temporary, and full time or part time. You can also set the status of the position control ID to active or inactive status.

The combination of job, department, number of posts for the position and user defined position IDs, consequent to position control being active for a job, provides information which helps an organization in manpower planning, budgeting and estimation of the resources required for the employees and various position budgets. It also provides vital data to frame overall organizational policy, while facilitating to accommodate changes such as increased headcount or new positions .It  also makes defining employee-assignment details less time consuming. The organization can also make precise projection of future costs.
