    7.Click on "Create Job Requisition"
    8. The system will allow you to create the requisition

Cause

This configuration is working as expected, you can create Job Requisitions on already filled positions.

Resolution

In case you do not want to allow this behavior, you need to add a statement to the Rule that is used to default the template. In such a case you can raise a custom error by the rule instead of setting a template id.


     Example:

  1. Go to Admin Center
  2. Search for "Position Management Settings"
  3. Open the "Integration" tab
  4. Select the option "Rule for Mapping Fields Between Position and Job Requisition" and open the rule

     5. Click Take Action
     6. For every "IF" condition you need to add a statement in the rule that will check if the position is set to be hired as Yes.

   7. Then add the else statement to raise a message with error category.

   That way, every time some employee tries to create a new Job Requisition the system will not allow it to created because there is no vacancies for that position.
