Basic Data (Position)
Definition
The basic characteristics of a position.
Use
Basic data provides positions with a unique identity. It also provides you with information on your enterprise’s staffing status.
Structure
In the two Position fields, enter a short and long description for a position. These descriptions are displayed in the staff assignments, for example.
The job assigned to the position is displayed in the Job field. You can assign a job directly by entering its name here. Otherwise, you assign a job to a position in the staff assignments. For more information, see Assigning Jobs.
By flagging this field, you mark a position as the chief position of the organizational unit to which it belongs.
You can also flag a chief position of an organizational unit on the Chief+Account Assignment tab page.
Chief positions are evaluated in SAP Business Workflow. For more information, see
Rule to Determine Manager.
You can enter the following statuses in this field:
Vacancy open – the position is vacant, that is, a person (employee) is to be found for the position. The position is marked as vacant in Recruitment.
Vacancy occupied or put on hold – the position was vacant, however, no person is to be found for the position at the present time.
Obsolete – the position will no longer be required in the future-.
For more information, see Position.
By choosing the Staff field, you can assign a staff indicator to positions. A staff flag indicates that a position is not part of the normal reporting structure at your company, but rather reports directly to a high level position, or organizational unit. In this way, a position can report directly to the chief executive officer.
Persons (employees) and users who occupy the corresponding positions are displayed in the Holder table
