GVT_WIP_RECORD3

Define PAR tracking data.

Self-service transactions are designed so that employees can easily enter requests to change their own personal data and managers can enter requests to change their direct reports' job data. The government requires that certain information be included with each personnel action request. However, this data would not ordinarily be known by the self-service user.

To ensure that this information is recorded accurately, the system enables you to define the appropriate action/reason codes, Notice of Action (NOA) codes, legal authorities, and PAR remarks for each transaction. This default information is automatically written to the government PAR records when the federal component interface is run at the completion of the final self-service step for the transaction.

Use the Defaults / Admin page (GVT_WIP_RECORD3) to define PAR tracking data.
