Turn Off Job Requisitions

Turn Off Job Requisitions

Security:
Set Up: Tenant Setup - HCM
domain in the System functional area.
If you don't want to use requisition processes to support staffing, you can disable job requisitions for staffing organizations that use:
  • Job management.
  • Position management.
You can't disable job requisitions for position management if you use commitment accounting for any company in your tenant.
Turning off job requisitions for either a position management or job management organization causes these changes for the affected organizations:
  • You can no longer initiate the
    Job Requisition
    business process.
  • Open (nonfrozen) positions become available for recruiting and hiring on their availability date. Previously filled positions become available 1 day after the position vacates.
  • You no longer need open job requisitions to fill open positions. Workday only validates against position restrictions.
  • If you rescind an event that filled an open position, the related job requisition reopens and becomes effective. To apply position restrictions to future hiring actions, close the job requisition.
  • Corrections to events that filled open positions must comply with the job requisition requirements that were in place when the event occurred.
  • You can now edit position restrictions for all positions. Your changes to position restrictions have no impact on any in-progress events that fill positions based on job requisitions.
  1. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
    task.
  2. For the
    Enable Job Requisitions for Position Management
    field, select
    None of the above
    .
  3. Clear the
    Enable Job Requisitions for Job Management
    check box.
Turning off job requisitions doesn't impact in-progress events that are based on job requisition hiring restrictions, including transfers and other job changes.
You have continued access to the:
  • Job Requisition Change
    business process, enabling you to support or correct staffing events that fill positions.
  • Close Job Requisition
    business process, enabling you to close open requisitions.
The
View Supervisory Organization
report changes:
  • The
    Staffing
    tab displays all open, nonfrozen positions that have reached their availability date.
  • The
    Unavailable to Fill
    tab displays open positions before their availability date, frozen positions, and positions with in-progress events.
When you disable job requisitions for either position management or job management for the affected organizations:
  • Close or rescind any open job requisitions.
  • Cancel any in-progress
    Job Requisition
    or
    Job Requisition Change
    events.
