Same Positions , Jobs and Department assign for multiple Workers.

Posted on by Anks27

Hello,

I'm working on AX2012 R3 CU11, and creating the procurement workflow. In the workflow i want to use approval hierarchy so searched on that i found on some couple of blogs that i have to create first "Organization , Position and Department Hierarchy".

So i worked on Workers and positions. I have created Titles, Jobs and positions.

Now i'm going to assign position to workers but i'm not able to assign same position to multiple workers.

I read msdn and technet blogs and found this is system behavior that we can assign different position to same users but we can't assign same position to multiple workers.

Now i'm confuse, how can i achieve below things.

e.g:- Alex is "Director" and he is reporting to Brain who is Vice President, now as per below snaps if i want to assign position Director to David or Keith then how can i assign???

As per above structure what is the best way to define this???

if i will create position department wise like Position1-"ParkingOperation-Director", Position-2-HR Director then what about Position-3 for Broadcast Service??? it will not work for David and Keith because "Broadcast Service is also twice.

So please suggest me the best way to define these things so it will also useful to me for my workflows approval and organization Hierarchy.

    Hi Ankit,

    A position is a unique position within an organization. There can be only one person active on a position. When a person leaves the company you can re-use the same position as it will be an open position then.

    The jobs can be assigned to multiple positions until you setup a maximum number of positions.

    So you have to create multiple positions based on the Director job.

    Hi Paranjothi,

    Agree, I already mentioned in my thread that if i will create position department wise like Position1-"ParkingOperation-Director", Position-2-HR Director then what about Position-3 for Broadcast Service??? it will not work for David and Keith because "Broadcast Service is also twice.

    I'm thinking to create position department wise but in that under "Broadcast service department" there are two workers "David" and "kelth" which are working as a director so for that what should be position???

    Thanks,

    Ankit

    Hi Ankit,

    In this case you could create two positions representing "Broadcast service-Director 1" and "Broadcast service-Director 2". They can both have a link to the same department.
