You can flag positions as obsolete in infotype 1014. The system checks whether another person occupies the position, if

• a person is transferred or their contract runs out (Personnel Administration component)

• the corresponding relationship has been deleted or delimited (Organizational Management component)

If not, the system displays a dialog box where you can specify that the position should be delimited from the date it becomes vacant.

If an obsolete position is subsequently filled by either the Personnel Administration or Organizational Management system, a message is displayed to indicate that it has been marked as obsolete. If an infotype 1014 record is created for a position, the system checks whether or not the position is occupied and then displays an appropriate message.
