Understanding the Festive Advance Process
This chapter provides an overview of the festive advance process and discusses how to:
Calculate festive advances.
View and modify festive advances.
Understanding the Festive Advance Process
The Administer Festive Advance business process is fully integrated with the PeopleSoft payroll process. After you set up some base information—such as calculation rules and a pay program—and associate employees with the base information, the normal payroll processes calculate and track the amounts.
A preliminary calculation of festive advance payment amounts is performed for all employees eligible for the festive advance and you can review, modify, or delete the information if necessary.
After calculating and reviewing the appropriate festive advance amounts for employees in PeopleSoft Human Resources, PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll enables you to:
Distribute the amount to employees.
Recover the advance in subsequent payrolls.

Viewing and Modifying Festive Advances
This section discusses how to view and modify festive advances.
Running the Festive Advance calculation process calculates the festive advance amount for individual employees. After you have run the process using the Calculate Festive Advance page, you can then view and modify the results of the calculation using the View/Update Pymnts by FA Type and the View/Update Pymnts by Emplid components. You can manually add new employees and modify festive advance amounts if necessary.
Note. After you have reviewed the festive advance payment amounts in PeopleSoft Human Resources, you can post the festive advances to PeopleSoft Global Payroll using the Post/Unpost Festive Adv SGP page in the Global Payroll application—Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Absence and Payroll Processing, Prepare Payroll, Post/Unpost Festive Advncs SGP. The GPSG_FA_POST AE (festive advance) posting process enables you to copy the festive advances from the FA Payments table into the Global Payroll Positive Input (PI) tables. You can then nominate the calendar to which the payments are to be posted. Once the payments are posted to PI, the status of the festive advance payments are updated to prevent reposting. An unpost option included in the festive advance posting process also enables you to delete the posted advances from the Positive Input tables, provided the pay has not already been finalized.
