If the POSITION CONTROL SITE parameter is checked, and the override Salary Minimum and override Salary Maximum fields, on the Position Maintenance transaction, are not blank for the position, the salary is validated against these fields.

Indicates whether a unit must be entered when defining a position.

• Enter R in the Text Value field to require positions to be established at the Unit level, thus requiring the Department and Unit code for a position lookup.
