PA513


PA513 - Position and Job Conversion

Run PA513 to import historical information from a comma-separated value (CSV)
file into PA13.2 (Position, Job History).

Planning considerations
1. Determine what information will be converted and make sure valid value
tables exist (see prerequisites section).
2. Determine how much historical data you will convert for each
employee.
3. Determine if information should be logged to history.
4. A Level 1 (primary) historical record must exist for the time frame for
which any Level 2-5 records are converted.
5. It is recommend the file be sorted in the following order:
employee:position level:descending effective date
6. If using formal positions, default/override edits will not be performed.

Before you run PA513:
- Ensure companies are defined in HR00.1 (Company).
- Ensure process levels are defined HR01.1 (Process Level).
- Ensure positions are defined in PA02.1 (Position)
- Ensure departments are defined in HR02.1 (Department).
- Ensure user level codes (UL) are defined HR04.1 (HR Code Setup)
- Ensure location codes (LO) are defined in HR04.1. - Ensure supervisor codes
are defined in HR07.1 (Supervisor)
- Ensure work schedule codes (WS) are defined in HR04.1
- Ensure union codes (UN) are defined in HR04.1.
- Ensure schedules or grade ranges are defined in PR16.1 (Step & Grade
Schedule) or PA95.1 (Grade Range Schedule).
- Ensure steps are defined in PR16.1.

In addition:
- Be sure employee records exist in HR11.1 (Employee).
- Be sure position rules exist in PA06.1 (Position Rules) and HR10.2
(Position Item Attributes) for the earliest date being converted.
- If you use formal positions, be sure positions exist in PA02.1 (Positions)
for the dates being converted.
- Be sure all codes such as job and location are set up.

The program processes and prints records in the order in which they are found
on the CSV file. The program edits records as if they were directly typed
into PA13.2. Any errors are written out to a new CSV file.

PA513 updates the following files:
