Slide 12
Changes to Fields and Field Names
Slide 13
Changes to Fields and Field Names
Some of the field names have been changed from their technical names to more intuitive names to make the form easier to understand.Some of the sections of the ISR have been rearranged. These changes are small and should not cause any confusion.
Note: Since the technical names are no longer used, the field names in the Position record in SAP may be labeled differently from those on the form.In addition to changing the name of the Reports to field name to Supervisor’s Position#, we also added the Supervisor’s Name. If the name field is blank that means the supervisor’s position is vacant. If the supervisor’s position is vacant please enter a new
supervisor’s position number that is occupied.

Changes to Fields and Field Names (cont.)
Slide 15
There are two fields on the ISR that are now being defaulted based on the Job Code that is associated with the position. If the Job Code is changed on the Position Maintain/PAC or Position Copy ISR forms, those field values will automatically be updated after completing the form and hitting Enter. The first of these fields is the Job Short Text field
(previously called Object abbr.). This field is now display only.Job Short Text defaults based on the Job Code entered.
Changes to Fields and Field Names (cont.)
Slide 16
The second field is a new field called Exempt/Non-Exempt Status.
This information will help you ensure that your Employee Subgroup matches the FLSA Status on the Job. If the Employee Subgroup entered does not match the
Exempt/Non Exempt indicator, then a soft warning message will be presented.
Exempt/Non Exempt indicator defaults based on the Job entered.
Changes to Fields and Field Names (cont.)
Slide 17
Tracking Changes
Slide 18
Tracking Changes
Denotes that a change has been made to this section.
A checkbox, titled “Change?” has been added to each section of the Position Maintain and Position Copy ISRs.
Slide 19
Tracking ChangesThe checkbox should be checked for each section where any change is made to help ensure that your requested changes are made appropriately.
The purpose of these checkboxes is to show the approver and the HR Specialist which attributes have been changed. If a change is made without being noted it may be
missed during ISR processing.
The checkboxes are intended to replace the need to explain the changes made in the comments section of the ISR. However, that information is helpful for approvers and can help mitigate any mistakes that may come out of forgetting to check a change box or checking the wrong one. So it may still be valuable to enter comments.
Slide 20
Tracking ChangesIf no changes are being made to the position information, the box at the top titled No Position Changes should be checked. The Position Maintain and Position Copy ISRs cannot be
initiated without at least one box checked. To ensure the accurate processing of your ISR, please be
sure to check all boxes within every section that requires a change.
The form will not allow you to check the No Position Changes box along with any other checkbox. Denotes that no
changes have been made to the position.
Slide 21
New Employee Attribute Change Section
Slide 22
New Employee Attribute Change Section
The change with the most impact is the combination of the Position Attribute Change ISR and the Position Maintain/PAC ISR.
The new combination ISR will be called OM-JHHS Position Maintain/PAC for biweekly employees and OM-JHU Position Maintain/PAC for all University employees.
The Position Attribute Change ISR will be removed from the ISR list entirely and will no longer be available.
In its place, there will be a section added to the new ISR called Employee Attribute Change.
The Employee Attribute Change section will only appear on the Position Maintain/PAC ISR if the position is filled.
We will be adjusting our rules around when to fill out the Employee Attribute Change (EAC) section now that only one ISR is required.
We have created a job aid to help determine when the EAC section is required. It is located on the HR/Payroll Shared Services website at: http://ssc.jhmi.edu/bin/k/q/PositionMaintain.pdf
Slide 23
Immediately after entering a Position Maintain/PAC ISR, a check is done to see if there is an employee in the position being maintained. If there is an employee, a pop up box will be presented that
notifies the initiator, or approver, that the position is filled and lets them know the person’s name and personnel number. Take note of this number now because you will need it
later when completing the Employee Attribute Change Section.

Slide 24
When the Employee Attribute Change section is first presented, it has no values filled in.

To complete this section, start by:1. Entering the personnel number of the person
occupying the position.2. Click the Validate Pernr button.
New Employee Attribute Change Section
Slide 26
After clicking the Validate Pernr button, the system will do three things:
1. Run through the validations associated with the top sections of the ISR.
2. Validate that the personnel number entered is a holder of the position being maintained.
3. Populate the “current” fields in the Employee Attribute Change section as well default the proper format for the New Cost Distribution section based on the Employee Subgroup on the ISR.• Please note that the values are defaulted
based on the effective date of the ISR; be sure to view PA20 in case future dated actions exist.

After the Validate Pernr button is clicked, here is how the Employee Attribute Change section will look
for a JHU employee.

Slide 29
The Reason Code is required whenever you complete the Employee Attribute Change section (even if the Position Details are not changing)
For a description of the Reason Codes that are available follow the link below:
http://ssc.jhmi.edu/bin/e/r/ISRTypesReasons.pdfIf the current values are not changing, you are not required to reenter in the “New Values” section.
Exception: When the labor distribution is changing on a salaried employee and the salary is remaining the same. A value must be entered in the salary field. Otherwise, you will get a hard error that the labor distribution is greater than the salary amount.

This shows how to correctly fill out the Employee Attribute
Change section when only the Cost Distribution is changing for
a salaried employee.
Same as Current Value
Blank fields will be considered same as
Current Values

Slide 31
When to use the No Position Changes checkbox on the Position Maintain/PAC ISR
Cost distribution changes for Hourly employees. The Position Attribute Change ISR was utilized for these changes.
New Process: Initiate the Position Maintain/PAC ISR and continue to use Reason Code 06 – CC/IO Change; Fill in the Cost Distribution section with the new information.
Salary information (for example) not included on the original form
Redo the ISR with the same date but only fill in what was missed; please include comments and refer to previous ISR.
Add/Change Work Schedule Rule or JHU Legacy Dept CodeChanging Pers Admin (mail code)
Please use a Personal Data Change (PDC) ISR for these changes.

Slide 32
This shows how to correctly fill out the Employee Attribute Change section for a Cost
Distribution change for an hourly employee.
The No Position Change box should be checked at the top
of the form.

Slide 33
Additional Validations
Slide 34
Additional ValidationsSoft warning for mismatches between the FLSA status of a the Job Code and the Employee subgroup.
Home Cost Center is a required field and cannot end in 98 or 99.
Planned Compensation information are all required fields.
Slide 35
ConclusionThe changes to the forms should make the Position ISRs more intuitive and more accurate.
We hope that eliminating the need to initiate two separate ISRs for a Position Maintain helps relieve some of the burden on ISR initiators, speed up ISR processing and ensure that the position and master data are in sync.
We are planning on moving these changes into the Production system on the evening of Friday, October 29.
