Through this activity, you can set Position Control ID Series.
Position Control ID refers to the unique ID assigned to each post pertaining to a position or job for which vacancies exist in an organization. Associating a position control ID series to each post helps in identifying the organizational, employment related and job profile details of each post.
For example, the details pertaining to a position can be better understood when a separate position control ID is mapped to each vacant post.
The following details pertaining to a position control ID will be applicable to the vacant post to which it is mapped.
The organizational attributes such as the employment and business units applicable to it and the regulatory region governing them, the work location etc.
The employment attributes such as the position for which the vacancy exists should report to, whether the position pertains to a full time or part time job or if it is regular or temporary etc.
The job attributes such as the job level and job family to which the job applicable to the position pertains to, the Grade and Grade Set applicable to it etc.
The job profile details.
Also, the position control feature helps in better manpower planning and budgeting and estimation of manpower procurement expenses.
If the position control feature is enabled, you can use this activity to set the position control ID series parameters.
The position control ID series parameters you can set are:
The position control ID generation method, which can be set as either “Manual” or “Automatic”. If you set the generation method to automatic, the system generates a new position control ID for each post. If you set the method to manual, the user has to generate a separate position control ID for each post.
The total character length of the position control ID series. The length of the position control ID series comprises the length of the alphabetic prefix, if any, and the numeric part of the ID series.
Whether the position control ID series should have an alphabetic prefix or otherwise.
The character length of the alphabetic prefix.
The start value of each position control ID series. The system increments the start value by 1 for each new position control ID generated in the series. For example, if the position control series is DEL3 and the start value is assigned as 7, the system displays the current value as 10 if three position control IDs are generated in this series.
Also, you can choose to keep the position control ID series details in active or inactive status. If you activate the details, the position control ID series can be used in relevant activities/component, if you inactivate the details, the series will not be available for use.
