Expiring Positions

When a position is not needed and is not assigned to any Active person, it can be expired.

Expiration Impacts

Positions cannot be expired if they are attached to any Person record. For additional information, see Changing a Person's Manager/Position.
Once expired, the position will be removed from the list and cannot be reactivated.
Expired positions are hidden and new positions with the same name cannot be created. Therefore, be careful when making the decision to expire positions.
Another option may be not to expire the position, but instead to just rename it to [EXPIRED + Position Name] and not attach it to any new Person records. This way, the position and all of its roles can be reintroduced into the workflow, if needed.
Expiring a position from the Global organization will expire it from the Global organization as well as all Local organizations. Expiration of Global positions can only be managed from the Global organization.
