Reproducing the Issue
-
Log in to Headcount Planning as an approver
-
Open the parent plan or one of the subplans
-
Click in the aggregated table to drill to the list view for a section of the plan
-
Find an approved line item and click on the Action icon
- The "Create position" button is missing
The screenshot below shows where the button is expected to appear:
Cause
The user does not have permission to create position in Employee Central i.e. Manage Data > Create New > Position.
Resolution
This is an expected behavior in Headcount Planning. The user will need the permission to create position in Employee Central to have the "Create Position" button showing in the plan.
