What are some of the advantages of Positions in SAP?
In SAP a unique position is created for every “slot,” occupied or not, within the Organizational Unit. Positions exist independent of the employee. Any position-related data are attached to the position, and individual employees who move into that position are able to inherit those data. When they leave the position, they leave behind both the position and position-related data. Some immediate results of this new concept are that the maintenance of position-related data will decrease; certain areas of MIT will gain the ability to manage their vacancies, as well as to track full-time equivalents (FTEs) on a regular basis.
