Defining Position Budgets Automatically
You can define position budgets automatically when both of these situations are true:
The initial position budgets equal the salary, hours, FTEs, and headcount that already exist in the current employee records.
You plan to use the employee job type codes as the position IDs.
When you define position budgets automatically, the program uses the employee job type, job type description, home business unit, and salary as the respective position ID, position description, home business unit, and salary for the position budget. The program creates and populates these tables:
Position Master (F08101)
Position Budget Detail (F08111)
When you define position budgets automatically, the system enters the budget status with an approved status code. Only positions with approved budget status codes can be assigned to employee records. Furthermore, an approved requisition can reference only an approved position budget.
You might need to enter other information manually, such as effective dates or defined information.
To modify position budget information after you have defined position budgets automatically, use Position Entry program (P08101).
The program does not include an employee job record when it creates position budgets if any of these circumstances exist:
The employee is terminated prior to the beginning of the current fiscal year.
No job type exists in the employee record.
The employee has a hire date that occurs after the system date of the day that you started position control. For example, if you run the Start Position Control program on August 16th, and the employee hire date is September 1st, the employee is not included.
If more than one employee is associated with a job type within a home business unit, the system totals the values for all of the employees to generate values for the position budget.
