About PA103
Run Mass Position Changes (PA103) to change data for many positions at one time. For example, at the beginning of each fiscal year you can change the annual hours associated with a position to reflect the number of work hours in the next school year. PA103 parameters let you indicate which positions should be selected for update, the new position effective date, and the new position or position user field values. You can change, add, or delete up to 10 position user fields with any one mass update process. NOTE If the position field value should be cleared out, asterisks (*) are entered as the field value. If the position field value is not changing, leave the the position field value blank. PA103 creates files and a listing of the positions to be updated, along with any special warning messages (related to position start and stop dates). The PA103 files are then used by PA502 to update positions and by HR515 to update position user fields. **Process at a Glance 1. Add a new batch program for Position Mass Update (PA103) . 2.
