Position Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Manage Position
- Search for the affected position
- Make correction>Any data change
- Save the record
- Application error is received
Cause
- The user trying to make the data change on the position object does not have permissions to edit the incumbents job information
- The position to job info sync is triggered from the 'Manage Positions' UI - Therefore if the logged in user does not have edit permissions to the incumbents job information they will not be able to make the change and the error will generate - See KBA under section UI Changes: 2529515 - Position To Job Information Sync Troubleshooting Guide (PositionToJobInfoSyncRuleCheck) - EC
Resolution
Workaround:
- Make the change to the position object via 'Manage Data' instead as this does not trigger the sync - See
Otherwise you must make sure to grant edit permissions to the job information portlet data so this transaction can process through Manage Positions
