Correct Positions

The original
Create Position
 event must:
  • Have a status of
    In Progress
     or
    Successfully Completed
    .
  • Not have subsequent events that edit, freeze, or close the job or position.
Configure the

    Availability Date
    , the new date must be on or before the date of:
    • Subsequent staffing events.
    • Default compensation, organizations, and pay group assignments, if those weren't subprocesses of the original event.
  • You can't change the number of positions allocated.
  • If the event opened more than 1 position, you can't change the
    Job Posting Title
    .
  • You can't change the
    Availability Date
     to be after the
    Recruiting Start Date
     on the job requisition.
