Batch Position Control Page

The Batch Position Control option enables you to create positions in job classes that are tied to pay rates in Human Resources. By processing these records in a batch table, you can add positions, make changes, and assign rates to employees without affecting your payroll records.

Use the Batch Position Control page to perform the following functions:

Search for and list records stored in Position Control's Batch Position table.
Delete batch position records.
Generate a report showing records in the Batch Position table.
Display pages for adding and changing batch position records.
Access pages for posting positions to the Position table, assigning rates to batch positions, and listing employees whose rates have batch positions assigned.

Menu Path: Human Resources > Entry & Processing > Position Control > Batch Position Control

Action Bar Items

The Batch Position Control page's Action Bar includes the following items:

Post	Displays the Position Report/Post page, which is used to post positions to the Position table. You should run this option first to generate the Batch Position Pre-Posting Journal. If the positions' rate assignments are satisfactory, you can then run the post.
Assign Rates	Displays the Assign Rates to Batch Positions page, which is used to assign batch positions to employees' pay rates. This item displays on the Action Bar after you run a list of batch positions.

This section includes the procedures for deleting and printing batch position records. For information on adding batch positions, refer to Batch Position Edit Page.
