Hi Mark,
Not sure how applicable this is because we're on D365 F&O, but I'll leave this here just in case it's similar enough:
- We use jobs and titles interchangeably, so not sure what the difference there is, I know that one or the other is tied to a signing limit policy we have in place. That policy regulates who has to approve purchase requisitions, i.e. a manager has a signing limit of $50K and a PR is for $45K, it would be submitted by an "employee", approved by the supervisor if applicable, but the manager would be the last to approve as it's within that job/title's signing limit.
- Positions are tied into this as that is how the system decides who to assign the record to next, i.e. the employee reports to a supervisor (position 1 reports to position 2), so employee submits a record, it gets assigned to position 2/supervisor in the next step if the workflow is set up to use the managerial hierarchy.
I hope this helps, feel free to send a message if you have more questions on this.

Subject: HR - Titles/Positions/Jobs
In the HR module, employees can have titles, positions and jobs. These seem interchangeable. We'd like to understand these fields better than what is explained in the help screens.
We are implementing AX 2012 R3 (CU 13).
What are the differences between titles, positions and jobs? Is there functionality behind any of these that we need to be aware of?
An example would help most.
