Understanding Manual Position Budget Definitions

You typically define position budgets manually when one or both of these situations occur:

• The initial position budget (the position budget for the first fiscal year for which you are using position control) does not equal the salary, standard hours per year, and FTEs for the employee whom you intend to assign to the position. In this case, if you create position budgets automatically, you need to manually revise the budget values.

• You want the identifier for the position (the position ID) to be different from the corresponding job type. When you create position budgets automatically, the program uses the corresponding job type for the position ID.
