Attention PeopleSoft HCM Position Management Users,
We need your help encouraging Oracle to add an “effective sequence” within PeopleSoft’s Position Management. This frustration has been discussed for many years as far back as Feb 2005!; among power users, and a renewed effort might push this enhancement out of Oracle’s dreaded “15 - Enhancement Request Internal Review” status.
Please consider doing the following:
1)[20 seconds] …. Go to HEUG Enhancement Tracker*at and “up-vote” this enhancement request.
a.Click this link: http://www.heug.org/p/is/vi/iid=2542&type=10
b.Scroll down to the “Statistics” section and enter your vote of “Priority 1 – High”

a.Problem Summary: “Enhancement Request: Voicing Support for Enhancement/Bug 20920818 - Add Effective Sequence To Position Data”
b.Problem Description: “I am voicing support for Enhancement Request/ Bug# 11259363 to provide multi-sequenced functionality in Position Management.
The inability to sequence on Position Data has been an on-going issue for many years. This inability is commonly discussed among position management power users, especially with clients that have shared governance structures such as higher education, government, and healthcare. The inability to reflect all these changes on position data is a recurring stress point, and could be fixed by implementing a sequence number within position management. A common example is:
i.In February, the department wishes to change some minor funding attributes to a position effective July 1.
ii.In May, a reports to change is required to reflect a department management re-organization also effective July 1.
iii.In June, a title change is needed also effective July 1.
