Succession Planning Positions are better (than Job and Supervisor) for P.O. approvals You may NOT want to use positions in the case of: Re-organizations Concerned about increased maintenance Positions for Governments and Unions: Positions are typical of government/public sector agencies or those companies with a heavy blue collar or union influence. There are a few reasons for this:
1) Public sector agencies are position driven which means that they identify roles and skills based on the position, not the individual. The position carries with it a defined set of criteria that the person who is applying for the position must have, people are not brought into the agency because they have special skills - they are hired to fill a role and they have the skills/knowledge/abilities that the role defines.
2) You can also have multiple "holders" or people filling one position and that does not necessarily mean job sharing.
3) Companies can define positions and employees on a one to one relationship, meaning each position can have only one employee assigned to it. Unless one is dealing with a small company, this can be an administrative nightmare. This might be used in an organization that wants to define purchasing authority on a per position/person basis (provided there is no costing of positions so maintenance may remain relatively low).
4) Public sector agencies also practice encumbrance based accounting compared to private enterprise - meaning the funding or budget for departments can be determined ahead of time, providing flexibility in budgetary spending.
5) Positions are tracked and monitored as a result of this type of accounting for another reason as well. . Typically in government agencies, funding for positions comes from multiple sources, such as 50% of positions X is paid for by the federal government and 50% is paid for by the state therefore, detailed tracking/costing is required on a per position

basis. Summary & Recommendations: If you are using Positions, you may wish to create a segment on the Position Key Flexfield called, "Organization" to simplify the connection process. Positions work well to track "reports to" and to see which person occupies which position. Providing the Business Group (the primary organization) is fairly stable, positions make positional mass moves very easy to do. They are also a must for strict security needs and used for purchase order approvals. In using Positions, one must be careful to create generic job names, and make the position names specific..
