Correcting or Reversing Absence Results

With its built-in retroactive processing capabilities, Absence Management generally handles corrections as a basic part of regular on cycle absence runs. With off cycle processing, you can quickly address the more critical exceptions.

For Absence Management the correction type of Replacement is processed. The type of retroactive method used with corrections is Forced Corrective.

Example of a Replacement Correction

For a replacement correction, the system handles the adjustment using the normal retroactive processing mode and processing set, as dictated by the existing triggers. Standard use and validation of retroactive rules apply (as if running on cycle). This includes:

  • The retroactive mode is corrective (the system ignores for processing the retroactive events of the trigger).

  • No elements are forwarded (the system ignores the retroactive processing set).

  • All elements are recalculated (the system ignores the retroactive recalculate setting).

Use the Correction Request Detail page (GP_OFFCYCLE_C_SEC) to enter instructions for processing absence corrections.

Retro Triggers Exist (retroactive triggers exist)

This system will select this check box if a trigger exists that falls on or before the period end date of the calendar to be corrected, and if the trigger represents the same country as the country associated with the pay group of the off cycle group. If the check box is cleared, you must manually create the trigger or make the correction to data that will cause the trigger to be generated.
