Position Change (History)

The Position Change Transaction allows you to manage internal employee movements within the same company, including promotions, demotions, and lateral transfers. Before making any position change, ensure that the 'Transaction Reason & Code' is properly set up. If the position change also impacts the employee's salary, a 'Salary Change' must be entered to reflect the updated compensation. 

Note that this function is not applicable for transferring employees between different companies.
