This blog explains one of the standard features of Position management settings in Success factors - Transition period. Essentially, a transition period occurs when an employee leaves a position and a successor is appointed to that position before the incumbent leaves it. This means that the position is overstaffed for that time.
Transition: You can use the options on this tab to determine whether a transition period for positions is allowed or not. With a transition period, you can define a period in which a position can be overstaffed by incumbent. This means that you can assign a successor to a position while the employee who is leaving the position is still assigned even if the position is overstaffed as a result.
Scenario 1: Terminate the manager and hire the new manager in the same position during the transition period with option “Everyone transfer to new recruit” ie., all incumbents report to new manager.
Terminate Manager Nadica on March 28th.
Position updated to “To Be hired” to YES manually.
Hire new manager TESTTRANSITION on Feb 28th, with option during hire as “Everyone transfers to new recruit”.
In the Position Org Chart, we can see two Manager assigned for one Position with incumbents.
Check for one of the incumbents who is the Manager.
New Manager shows from 28th Feb.
Manager for incumbent shows as Manager +1 from 28 March immediately after termination of old Manager.
But if you click on the future refresh icon it shows new hired manager will automatically replicate from 28th March for incumbent.
Scenario 2: Terminate the manager and hire the new manager in the same position during the transition period with option “Everyone stays with current Manager” ie., all incumbents report to current manager.
Terminate Manager Predrag on March 7th
Position updated to “To Be hired” to YES manually.
Hire new manager Test Transition Senario2 on Feb 20th, with option during hire as “Everyone stays with current manager”.
In the Position Org Chart, we can see two Manager assigned for one Position with incumbents.
Check for one of the incumbents who is the Manager.
As there is no change in manager there is no additional record created. But after termination of manager immediately it shows as Manager as Manager +1 as new manager was hired after termination.
New Manager shows from 7th March as Manager + 1, but if you click on the future refresh icon it shows new hired manager will automatically replicate from 7th March for incumbent.
On March 7th, as per the previous message correct manager has been assigned to incumbents.
Conclusion:
After the Transition, as Automated Daily Hierarchy Adaptation is enabled, job will be running and incumbents are assigned to the correct managers.
Hope it was help full with the details of Transition process in Position Management of Successfactors Employee Central.
