Job
Resource for creating positions.
Positions are concrete and can are held by persons in an enterprise (purchasing administrator, for example). Jobs, in contrast, are classifications of functions in an enterprise (administrator, for example), which are defined by the assignment of characteristics. Jobs serve as job descriptions, that apply to several positions with similar tasks or characteristics.
When creating a new position (purchasing administrator, for example), you can relate it to a
job that already exists (administrator, for example). The position then automatically inherits the tasks and characteristics of the job.
If there is no corresponding job, create one and assign it tasks and characteristics. This will then be available when you add new positions.
This relationship will make it easier for you to create positions that are similar or the same, as you will not have to assign tasks and characteristics to each individual position. You can also assign additional tasks and characteristics directly to positions.
You have 20 administrators in your enterprise. Each one holds a position (purchasing administrator, for example). This position is described by the job administrator and the tasks and characteristics that belong to it. In addition to this, each position (purchasing administrator, for example) can be assigned specific tasks and characteristics (ordering materials, for example), which differentiate it from other positions (personnel administrator, for example).
You can store basic data for a job.
