You define the Position key flexfield to hold information about the work structure that exists in your business group. The Position key flexfield stores the position title, agency code, and other position-related information.

   To set up the Position key flexfield:

1. In the Key Flexfield Segments window, create a new Position Key Flexfield structure and name it, for example, US Federal Position.

2. In the Segments Summary window, you must define four required US Federal Position segments using the supplied value sets.

   • Define Position Title (GHR_US_POSITION_TITLE) using one of the first five segments (Segment 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5)

     When you define the Position Key Flexfield, you must define the Position Title as one of the first five segments of the Position Key Flexfield structure. By restricting the location of the Position Title to one of these segments, you improve the performance of the To Position LOV (Lookup Value) on the Request for Personnel Action (RPA) form.

   • Using the remaining segments, define Position Description Number (GHR_US_POS_DESC_NUM), Sequence Number (GHR_US_SEQUENCE_NUM), and Agency/Subelement Code (GHR_US_AGENCY_CODE).

3. Note the Name and Column fields for the four position segments. You refer to this information during implementation.

4. You can define up to 30 segments within the structure.

   For the segments that you add, you can define a list of valid codes or values.
