Assignment A1 - POSITION-Application Engineer, JOB-Development, LOCATION-HYD and DEPARTMENT- Software Development

Assignment A2 - LOCATION-HYD and DEPARTMENT-Software Development

Attribute Assignment A1 Assignment A2 Reason
Standard Annual Working Duration 40 Weeks 52 Weeks

In assignment A1, a value exists in position and job for this attribute but the application defaults from the position since it's higher in the hierarchy.

In assignment A2, a value exists in the location and legal employer but the application defaults from the location since it's higher in the hierarchy.

Annual Working Duration 20 Weeks 52 Weeks

In assignment A1, a value exists in position and the application defaults from the position since it's higher in the hierarchy.

In assignment A2, there is no value in the location or department. Hence, the application defaults from the standard annual working duration.
