43.1 Defining Next Year's Position Budget

Navigation

From Human Resources (G08), choose Position Control

From Position Control (G08P1), enter 27

From Position Control Advanced and Technical Operations (G08P3), choose Create New Year's Position

Although a position budget is valid for only one fiscal year, you do not need to enter position budget information each year. When the position budget information for next year will be the same as the corresponding information for the current year, you can save time by running a program that automatically creates position budgets for the next fiscal year, based on the position budgets for the current year.

When you run this program, the system:

• Creates the position, fiscal year, home business unit, and position ID and description

• Prints a DREAM Writer exception report that lists any positions that have effective through dates that are prior to the first day of the new fiscal year

• Creates a position accounts table for the next fiscal year (optional)

The system does not create budgets for:

• Closed positions

• Vacant positions that had no activity during the year

The system generates an exception report that lists the positions for which no budgets were created.

43.1.1 Before You Begin

• Set up the fiscal date patterns for the next fiscal year. See Set Up Fiscal Date Patterns in the JD Edwards World General Accounting I Guide.

• Set up a salary default source in your human resources constants. See Section 64.2, "Setting Up Position Control Information."

43.1.2 What You Should Know About

Topic	Description
Data Selection	Your data selection for this program must include the fiscal year from which you want the system to calculate position budget information.
Purging position budgets	To conserve computer disk space, you can purge past years' position budget records from your system. The method that you use to purge position information is the same you use to purge other types of information. See Chapter 21, "Purge History and Turnover Records."
