How do I activate/deactivate a department position? (2024.05)
Setting up a department position means a position is added to a department and the position can be added to employees who are included in the department. You can determine if a department position can be actively assigned to employees in the department, or if the department position is inactive. Inactive department positions cannot be assigned to an employee.
