Manager Flag on the Position

[m_bacskai]

​Dear Experts,

We need to create a "Manager Flag" on the position. If the position has direct reports, it should be "Manager: Yes" otherwise "Manager: No".

The requirement is to configure this field with an automatism so HR admin doesn´t need to select the value manually.

How am I supposed to configure the business rule logic so it can be automatized? It should work when the position gets lower-lever positions in the position Org. Chart as well as when this position is entered as a "Higher Level Position" on another position.

Reason of the field: We want to create an automated e-mail notification for payroll if someone is promoted to a manager.

if you look at what is possible with integration center ( sf to sf) and position reclassification you shoud be able to update parent position flag manager to yes , when it s occuring
