There are two options for the Position Control approval workflow:
Auto-approve (no workflow)
If Advanced Workflow is not enabled for Position Change Requests, Position Requisitions, and Employee Position Transfers, all changes are auto-approved. When a user saves a change request or transfer, the system applies the change immediately without routing it for approval. The approval status is set to Approved (A).
Advanced Workflow
To route Position Change Requests, Position Requisitions, and Employee Position Transfers through an approval workflow, you must configure Advanced Workflow. For more information, refer to Advanced Workflow.
Best practices
-
Test the workflow in a non-production environment before enabling it in production.
-
When workflow is enabled, new positions are created with an Approval Status of O - Open and cannot be fully used until approved. Plan for this delay during initial position creation.
-
Ensure approvers are assigned to the correct roles to access the approval pages for the Position Change Request Approval, Position Requisition Approval, and Employee Position Transfer Approval workflows.
