PA103


PA103 - Mass Position Changes

**Form Purpose
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 User Field Details (PRIORUSE)

PRIORUSE contains the details prior to the changes made by PA103. This file is
informational only.

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

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

5. (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.
