What is the Department Default Location Code?

Default Location Code:

  • Each Department has a Default Location Code associated with it.
  • The default Location Code should correspond to the administrative or mailing address of the Department.
  • When a new Position is created, and the Department ID is entered, the Location Code will auto-populate with the Department's default Location Code.

Updating/Changing Location and/or Cubicle:

  • This code can be changed on the Position record to correspond to a code that more accurately reflects the location of the incumbent in that Position.
  • This change can be entered on Position through Position Control for vacant positions, and Paypath or Mass Paypath for filled positions.
  • The cubicle field must be entered in Job Data through the Smart HR Template or PayPath.
