What are the different ways of setting up an HRMS system to make it position driven? Explain each option. Where is this setup done?An HRMS system can be setup to use no position management, partial position - management or full position management. In full position management system, for the whole employee strength, positions are maintained and the system is then driven by position and not employee. In partial position management, system is driven by both means- position and employee. You can have some departments in the organization driven by position and rest to be employee driven. If no position management is selected, then the system is completely person driven. System doesn’t use position data for employee job records even if positions are setup. This setup is done in the Installation table setup under HRMS options ? Position management option.When should be position management be preferred?In position management, each person is mapped to a single position and there can be multiple positions within a job code. Whenever tracking or budgeting has to be done with respect to a position instead of a person, position management should be used. A position driven system works best in the case when the organization is static, i.e. jobs are fixed and people move in and out of their respective positions.
