What does it mean when a position is subjected to capacity control?

When a position is subjected to capacity control in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, the system checks the target Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) to ensure that the position is not overstaffed. Capacity control enforces constraints on the maximum number of employees or FTEs that can occupy a position, helping organizations manage resources effectively and avoid exceeding the predefined limits. This feature is particularly useful for managing budgetary and organizational constraints.
