Multiple persons assigned to a single position

[hn1]

Hello All,

While working on a support query on client's system I found that they have multiple persons attached to a single position (for eg. Position = Sales Manager, Persons attached = 3, not the best practice).

Now there has been a change in the cost centers of all three employees. To be able to change cost centers the employees need to be separated i.e. assigned to separate positions.What I would like to know is how I should go about separating employees so that each person is assigned to a separate position? I have created 2 more similar positions in PPOME for this purpose. Should I drag and drop persons from one position to another or what other way is there to achieve this? Please note that there is no change in position/department. Just moving persons to separate positions.

Thanks!

Create 3 new Positions, each with it's own Cost Center, and then create a "Reassignment Action" through pa40 to change the Position associated with each of the 3 employees.

Assigning more than one employee to a single position is sometimes done for "casual" positions, but it should never be done with "regular" positions.

Thank you! Your solution solved the issue

We tell our users that when they create a Position, they should never change it's relation to an Org.Unit, it's relation to a CostCenter, it's FullTimeEquivalency (%), or any other characteristic. Instead, delimit the current Position and create a new one.

As for assigning more than one Position to a single Employee (PERNR), that is something that we sometimes see, but our users don't use PPOME.

So if I create new positions how do I go about moving employees to those new positions?

Thanks!

Just curious....are those employees assigned different % on that position? That DOES happen. (ex. I may be in my normal position 80% of the time and then on another....like a project role or sales....for 20%). So just check that also when you do nail down your "fix" for this.

Both are assigned 100% on the position.Any solution?
