Hi HCM Gurus,
We are on EhP6 and are in the process of implementing HCM P&F with FPM WDynPro ABAP forms. We have a requirement to create a position as part of New hire process, not as a separate PD process itself. That is, during New hire process, basic OM details required for a new position will be provided (Org.Unit of Position & the Job assigned to this Position) on the WD form and after approvals of both PA & PD data, we will have to create a position first and then hire the employee into this new position.
I understand we can have two separate processes, PD & PA for Position creation and for Hiring and this may be the best practice. However, per client's requirement, if during the Hire process, if the process is rejected, then the position will be wasted if position is created with a separate process ahead of the hiring.
I remember handling this similar requirement at a previous client when we were EhP4. We were using std. SAP SAVE workflow task in which first the PA part was disabled and so PD part(Position creation) was completed, and read this new position created into workflow container and were using the same SAVE background task with PA part activated the 2nd time. And in almost all of the situations, this was working fine. As it was a while ago, i unfortunately don't remember the full technicalities how we achieved this 
.
As SAP_PD and SAP_PA parts are totally different services, I believe this is very much possible. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
However, I was wondering if there is a better way of handling this requirement with EhP6. If any of you had handled similar requirement or any idea on how we can achieve this, appreciate if you can shed some light on this requirement at the earliest possible.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
