Symptom
An error is faced once adding a position for an employee:
Assigning this employee to the selected position would exceed the FTE value of the position on XX/XX/XXXX. Please choose another position or change the FTE value of the employee.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Cause
The target FTE (full-time equivalent) expresses the amount of accumulated FTE that may be assigned to this position. However, when we want the system to control this capacity for overcharging, positionControlled can be set as true.
The positionControlled field controls whether the target FTE is checked when an employee is assigned to this position. It means that every time this field is set as "yes", system will check if the FTE value is over the number informed in the position, regardless of the "Multiple Incumbents Allowed" option.
Resolution
In order for the system to respecte the "Multiple Incumbents Allowed" option, the positionControlled can be set as "No".
