Including Workforce Groups in Scenario Processes
You can use workforce groups in various scenario processes. These include the Match process in Workforce Planning and the Workforce Simulation process, the Retention Assignment process, the Compensation Planning process, and the Simulation process in Workforce Rewards.
When you run the scenario processes, a PeopleSoft Application Engine library named WA_GRPBUILD is called. The process resolves the constraints and inserts the group members into a permanent table (WA_GROUP_F00), keyed by the business unit, scenario, fiscal year, accounting period, and group ID fields. This table stores the group results for viewing through an inquiry page.
Some processes, such as the Retention Assignment process in Workforce Rewards and the Match process in Workforce Planning, do not necessarily use the groups exactly as defined. In these cases, the scenario rules may narrow the group build results. For example, the Retention process may start with the employees in the group but exclude employees that do not appear in the overall group defined for the retention scenario. Consequently, if you have specified groups for the risk, cost, and value rules through the retention model and the group members do not belong to the overall group for the retention model, they are not used. For these types of scenario processes, the results that you view using the inquiry page are the employees selected from the scenario processing and not necessarily all of the employees in the original group.
The system uses the group ID as a dimension in the Workforce Rewards data marts.
