Understanding Deleting Employee Positions

When you delete positions, you are removing any record of a position number that was defined within your planning center. Any employee job records associated with the position are also removed. Unlike the terminate action that is applied on a specific effective date, no date is associated with deletions. No record or audit trail will exist when you use the Position Data - Delete Position page.

Position Data - Delete Position Page

Use the Position Data - Delete Position page (BP_POS_DELETE) to delete employee positions.

Delete

Click to delete all positions selected in the Position Details grid.

When performing the position deletion, you will be required to confirm the action before the process is executed.

Note: You may not be able to delete position numbers from the activity when a corresponding position number exists in PeopleSoft Human Resources Management System. The position would not appear in the grid.

Note: If you delete a position, the system removes from the position activity all effective-dated rows for that position. If you select the Using HR Position Numbersoption on the Position Data Defaults page, you can only delete positions that are not in the POSITION_DATA table. This option prevents you from deleting positions that were imported from human resources. If you do not use position numbers with your human resource data, or for newly added position within the activity, you will be able to delete any of the positions.

Permission for a role to delete positions is granted using the User Roles page.

See User Roles Page.
