 Position

Definition

An object for planning the authorized personnel of a force element.

Use

You use positions to describe the authorized personnel of a force element. A position represents a position to be filled by a person ( Personnel Administration component).

Structure

Technically, the position corresponds to the position (object type S) in the Organizational Management component.

Status and Validity

The status and validity correspond to the object type Position in the Organizational Management component.

Properties

The following fields are available on the Structures Workbench tab pages:

  • Name tab page

    The identifying indicator of the position (the same as the tab page of the same name for the force element).

  • Description tab page

    The descriptive user-defined texts for the position (the same as the tab page of the same name for the force element).

  • EE Group/Subgroup tab page

    The assignment of the position to the employee subgroup and employee group ( Personnel Administration component).

    You can use this assignment to check the employee and position data in the Personnel Administration and Organizational Management components. A prerequisite for this check is that the employee groups or subgroups exist in both components.

    The system checks whether:

    • Both the employee who holds a position and the position itself are assigned to the same employee group and the same employee subgroup.

    • The working time that is assigned to positions and employee groups or subgroups in the Organizational Management component matches the working time assigned to the position holder in the Personnel Administration component.

      If the working times do not match, the system issues a warning message.

      Data for the employee group or subgroup is stored in infotype 1013 . Even if this integration is not active, this infotype is important since the system checks the employee groups or subgroups when working times are processed. For more information, see Customizing for Personnel Administration .
