Understanding How to Use Position Activity Information

After you define and approve the position budgets, you can attach employee records to them. You attach employee records to ensure that the actual salaries, hours, and FTEs for the employees are within those that you established for the position budgets. Employee records are attached to positions by entering a Position ID to the employee organizational record in the P0801 Employee Master. Position activity illustrates employee movement into and out of positions. To determine appropriate position budgets, you can set up the system to store historical records of position activity.

When an employee changes positions or leaves the organization, you must update the employee record to reflect the change. You can set up the system to create position activity records when you update position sensitive information in employee records.

You can also review position activity information to verify that it is correct. You can review position activity online, or you can print a report. You can correct position activity records if you entered incorrect position information for an employee.
