Positions, like Jobs, are used to define employee roles within Oracle Human Resources. Like Jobs, a Position is an optional component of the Employee Assignment. However, unlike Jobs, a Position is defined within a single Organization and belongs to it.

Positions are independent of the employees who are assigned to those position. You can record and report on information which is directly related to a specific position rather than to the employee.
