Every position must have a hiring status. The system statuses provided with Oracle HRMS are as follows. You can provide user names for these system statuses and map more than one user name onto each system status, if required.
Proposed - For modeling or planning.
Active - Available for use.
Frozen - Position can continue to be used with current incumbents but no new incumbents can be placed in it.
Eliminated - Position is no longer in use and will not be required in the future. A position cannot be reactivated when it has been eliminated.
Deleted - Position was set up by mistake, or never approved. A position can only be deleted before its Start Date (that is, the date on which it was approved for use). A position cannot be reactivated when it has been deleted.
Attention: Positions have a Valid/Invalid status as well as a hiring status. You cannot assign an employee to an Active position if its status is Invalid (or a user defined status). You can only assign to a position with an Active hiring status anda Valid (or blank) main status.
