PA103


PA103 - Mass Position Changes



Run Mass Position Changes (PA103) to change data for many positions
at one time. For example, at the beginning of each fiscal year you can change
the annual hours associated with a position to reflect the number of work
hours in the next school year.
PA103 parameters let you indicate which positions should be selected
for update, the new position effective date, and the new position or position
user field values.
You can change, add, or delete up to 10 position user fields with any
one mass update process.


NOTE  If the position field value should be cleared out, asterisks (*)
are entered as the field value. If the position field value is not changing,
leave the the position field value blank.
PA103 creates files and a listing of the positions to be updated, along
with any special warning messages (related to position start and stop dates).
The PA103 files are then used by PA502 to update positions and by HR515 to
update position user fields.



**Process at a Glance


1. Add a new batch program for Position Mass Update (PA103) .

2. Review the following CSV files for accuracy:



- Position Code Change (POSCSV)


- Position User Field Changes (USFCSV)


- Position Details (PRIORPOS)PRIORPOS contains
the details prior to changes made by PA103. This file is informational only.


- Position Details (PRIORPOS)PRIORPOS contains
the details prior to changes made by PA103. This file is informational only.




- Position User Field Details (PRIORUSE)PRIORUSE
contains the details prior to the changes made by PA103. This file is
informational
only.


- Position User Field Details (PRIORUSE)PRIORUSE
contains the details prior to the changes made by PA103. This file is
informational
only.




- Run Position Conversion (PA502) to load the changes contained
in POSCSV.


- (Optional.) Run User Field Conversion (HR515) to load user
field changes contained in USFCSV.


- (Optional.) If PA502 was run to update positions, and employees
were not updated immediately (per the PA502 parameter), then run PA102 to
update employees and requisitions with the position data changes.





**More Information

PA103 creates CSV file(s) of:



- The original position and/or position user field records.
These files are for reference only.


- The changed position and/or position user field records. These
files are used as the input file to PA502 or HR515.
