What happens if I specify a parent position?

You can specify a parent position when you enable HCM position hierarchy using the Manage Enterprise HCM Information task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. A parent position is one, which is the next position up in the position hierarchy.

On the Manage Positions page, click the parent position link to view the position details and click the icon next to the parent position to refresh the search with the parent position.

As a prerequisite, you specify a parent position to synchronize the line manager from the parent position. When you select to synchronize the line manager using the position hierarchy the incumbent in the parent position is populated as the new manager.
