Creating Earnings Advance and Recovery
Some earnings are loans or advances; therefore, when they are paid, the system must automatically create a deduction that is processed over subsequent pay runs, recovering the loan or advance.
The PeopleSoft system provides the following elements, accumulators, formula, and generation control to demonstrate this:
| Name | Type | Usage | 
|---|---|---|
| TRANS ADV | Earnings element. | Adds advance amount to paycheck when advance occurs. | 
| TRANS ADV AMT | Accumulator. | Stores amount of advance. | 
| TRANS BAL AMT | Accumulator. | Stores reducing balance. | 
| TRANS REC | Deduction element. | Deducts portion of advance from paycheck in subsequent pay runs. | 
| ADV FM GC CHECK | Advance recovery check formula. | Adjusts the deduction if taking it all would cause the goal amount to be exceeded. | 
| ADV GC REC IND | Advance recovery generation control. | Controls execution of advance recovery check formula. |
