Synchronize Person Assignment from Position Process

To synchronize the position changes with the affected assignments, run the Synchronize Person Assignments from Position process. The Initialize Position Synchronization process to load position synchronization changes is incorporated into the Synchronize Person Assignments from Position process.

The Synchronize Person Assignments from Position process is triggered in these scenarios.

Assignment

• Assignment update causing a date-effective split.
• Direct report assignment change because of change in assignment. This might be due to either position change or termination of the manager.

Position

• Position update causing a date-effective split.
• Parent position change.

Position Synchronization Configuration

• Position synchronization configuration update either at the enterprise or the legal entity level.

Run the Synchronize Person Assignment from Position to:

• Update affected assignments in the enterprise or legal entity if position synchronization is enabled (either initially or later, as a change).

• Prevent data corruption

• Synchronize the line manager based on the HCM position hierarchy.

• Synchronize action reason based on the position action reason and the available action reasons under Synchronization from Position action.

• Update assignments affected by the position changes, uploaded using HCM Data Loader.

Note: You must schedule this process to run on a regular basis. If you’re synchronizing the manager, then it's recommended to run this process daily.

Use the Schedule New Process page in the Scheduled Processes work area to run the Synchronize Person Assignment from Position process.

Before you run the process, you must enable position synchronization on the Manage Enterprise HCM Information or Manage Legal Entity HCM Information tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area

Process Parameters

Past Period to Be Considered in Days

Number of days in the past to be considered for updating the attribute in the assignments. The default value is 30 days. Note that even if position synchronization was enabled in the past and you loaded position data with an effective date of 6 months back, you don’t need to specify 180 days as the number of days. This is because the process detects the effective date and the last updated date of the position data. You can enter 2 days as the parameter value though changes are effective 6 months back.

Run at Enterprise Level

Select Yes to run the process for the enterprise, or No to run it for a specific legal entity.

Legal Entity

Legal entity for which you want to run the process.

Process Results

This process updates all affected assignments with the changes from the position. This includes:

• Changes due to position synchronization.

• Past or future-dated changes to the position hierarchy.

• Rollback of line manager changes in assignments for reverse termination.

• Line manager hierarchy changes

• Flexfield-mapping changes.

• Changes in position loaded using HCM Data Loader
