Updating Employee Position Activity

When an employee changes positions or leaves the organization, you must update the employee record in the Position Master Detail program (P08101) to reflect the change. When you change employee records in P08101, the system updates the position activity in the F08111 table. In HRM Foundation Position Control Options, you can set up the system to create historical records of the information that you have changed. The system updates position activity records when an employee record is changed for any of these reasons:

  • When an employee enters a position.

  • Leaves a position.

  • Changes positions within the organization.

When you are also tracking position information for employees, the system creates position activity records for an employee when any of these situations occurs:

  • Moves from one home business unit to another within the organization

  • Changes jobs or job steps

  • Receives a salary change

  • Changes FTE values

  • Changes the number of hours worked

Tracking position activity records simplifies the process of reviewing all of the employees who have worked in a specific position.
