How to delete a Job Opening?

Question:

How to deal with PeopleSoft Job Opening Ids are on Pending Status which had some approval path issue? or what is the best approach to delete that old Job Opening ID.

Answer:

In PeopleSoft, there is no direct "Delete" option available for Job Openings. The best practice is to "Data Archiving" process to archive the same.

Steps to Data Archive a old Job Opening or a Job Opening which is in “Pending Approval” status (Since you want to delete a pending job opening)

1). Create a new query of type ARCHIVE . Here you can select a new record of PS_HRS_JOB_OPENING and select one field HRS_JOB_OPENING_ID..name it DELETE_JO.This query will have a prompt field HRS_JOB_OPENING_ID whichever you want.

2). Goto PeopleTools > Data Archive Manager > Manage Archive Templates. Create a new Template. Select base object and archive object as HRS_JOB_OPENING. Select query name DELETE_JO as the new query you create with a prompt field. Save the template.

3). Go to PeopleTools > Data Archive Manager > Archive data to History. Select the newly created template. Use 'Selection' and Query as the new query created. Click on Define Binds. Select 'Reset Query Bind Variables' and enter the Job Opening ID to be deleted based on how your query is setup. Save and run the process.

This process adds all relevant PeopleSoft JO into PS_HRS_JOBOPEN_HST Table.

4). After running the selection process, now run the process using 'Delete' option

This will delete that particular Job Opening.

if you do not want to use the above option..here are the tables that you use to delete the PeopleSoft Talent Acquisition Job OPening:
