Common Elements Used When Adding a U.S. Federal Employment Instance

Field or Control

Definition

Transaction Nbr and Sequence

Set by default to 1/1—the correct numbers for new employees. Your agency can use these numbers to track both the individual transactions for this employee and the multiple administrative actions that occur on the same day.

This field controls the order in which actions are processed internally and the order in which they are output across interfaces. After you save a request, the system automatically increments it by one for each new action effective on the same day. If human resources personnel perform a correction of the original hire request, the correction's assigned value is 1/2 (1 is the transaction number for this particular action for this employee on this day and 2 is the sequence number for any correction of this action for this employee on this day).

PAR Status (Personnel Action Request status)

References the status of this request within the PAR request/approval process. On the Data Control page, this field is set by default to PRO (Processed by HR). If you choose to save with this (PRO) status, the personnel action information is saved and applied as its "finalized" state. The value that remains after you leave this page is the displayed status on other pages within the component.

NOA Code (nature of action code)

The Federal numerical code that applies to this personnel action.
