Correcting an occupation code retrospectively

URP = Local workstructures administration

Select Position >> Description

You will be asked to choose the effective date for any changes you’re about to make.

When changing an occupation code we want to make this a retrospective change as if the Position has always had that value (we are making a correction). We will specify that later so it is ok to leave the effective date unaltered (it defaults to today) so click on No.

The find position form will open.

Select the appropriate position and the following screen will be displayed. 

Click in the date effective name field and the following screen opens.

Click on the .. icon in the occupation code field and select the appropriate value from the list of values shown.

Click on ok to confirm the selection.  

The following option will appear.

Whereas in most cases update is selected to make a change effective from the required date, in this case we are correcting the occupation code so that it will appear that the position has always had that value; so click on the correction button.

Click on the save icon to save the record.

Close the form.
