position (PA-OS)

Organizational Structure (PA-OS)

An organizational object (object type key S) used to distribute tasks to posts in an organizational plan and to model the reporting structure between posts.

Positions are concrete posts in an enterprise, which can be occupied by holders (employees or R/3 users), for example purchasing administrator, European sales manager, or secretary in the marketing department. Positions are not the same as jobs. A job is not a concrete position in an enterprise. It is a construct that enables you to create a number of positions with similar tasks and features.
