Understanding Additional Appointments

You track additional appointments as additional jobs (employment record numbers) in the Job record. You can track multiple additional appointment rows for each main appointment row of the Job record using the Additional Appointment JPN page. The Define Cost Rate JPN page enables you to track cost rate distribution among a main appointment and its additional appointments.

The system automatically increments employment record numbers, including additional appointments. The total number of additional appointments appears with main appointment data on the employee's Job Summary JPN page.

When additional appointments exist in conjunction with intercompany transfers, for example when you serve as a hosting company, you can store information about additional appointments that your transferee may have in the home company, as well as any additional appointment information within your company as host.

On the Employee Assignment List report, you can view employees by department, including an employee's additional appointments.

When you terminate a main appointment, the system automatically terminates all additional appointments associated with it.

Some of the pages used for tracking additional appointments distinguish between internal and external company appointments. Here are the definitions of internal and external companies:

Term

Definition

Internal Companies

Companies that are internal to your organization's database. Data for these companies is already set up on the Company table and Department table.

External Companies

Companies that are external to your organization's database. You must set up data for these companies on the Intercompany Transfer Company/Department table.
