Change Position Working Title - IT1000

updated 7/16/08

Trigger:

 The working title of a Position needs to be changed.

Tips and Tricks

· The Working Title of a Position is held on Infotype 1000 on a Position.

· The security provided to you includes display, copy, and change.

· Copy (two sheets of paper) is to be used most of the time.  This will delimit the existing record and create a new record with the start date given.  Copying keeps a history of what the record used to be.

· Change (pencil) is only to be used if you make a spelling or other simple error, and want to change the record.  There is no history tracked on what the record used to be if you use the change functionality.
