Steps: Set Up Job Requisitions for Commitments and Obligations

Steps: Set Up Job Requisitions for Commitments and Obligations

The position control process begins with job requisitions. Job requisitions enable you to request approval to fill a vacant position. Job requisitions are available if you use either the position management or job management staffing models.
When you turn job requisitions on, all vacant positions that you fill require an open job requisition.
  1. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
    task:
    • Enable job requisitions for position management, either for all staffing events or based on rules.
    • Enable job requisitions for job management.
    • Select an ID definition.
    Job requisitions trigger the capture of job details needed for commitment calculations. Job requisitions are required if you're using commitments and obligations. They're optional if you're only using obligations.
    Once you generate commitments, you can't disable job requisitions.
  2. Create a new position. You must have a position (filled or unfilled) to create a position budget.
  3. Use the
    Request Compensation Change
    task to assign compensation to a position. Payroll uses this information to perform the commitment calculation.
    Alternatively, you can include the
    Request Requisition Compensation
    subprocess in the
    Job Requisition
    and
    Job Requisition Change
    business processes.
  4. Assign organizations to a position by selecting
    Change Organization Assignments
    from the related actions menu of the unfilled position. This provides the information necessary for the correct accounting of the commitment amount.
    Alternatively, you can include the
    Change Organization Assignments
    subprocess in the
    Create Position
    business process.
  5. Access the
    Assign Pay Group for Position Restriction
    task.
    Assign a pay group to a position. This provides the information for prorating the planned payroll portion of the commitment calculation.
  6. Allocate costs to the default organization assignment and other cost centers.
  7. Workday begins commitment accounting on the
    Target Hire Date
    .
