Create a payee section for a process list. |
Sections are the building blocks for creating process lists. You create a section by giving it an element name, selecting the section type, and entering elements in processing order. Eligible elements depend on the section type.
This diagram shows the element types that you can include in each section type.
Note: Earnings and deductions are not included in process lists.
Warning! Adding or deleting an element from a section and then trying to process a retroactive run may yield incorrect results. Before changing any element in a section, assess the impact on retroactive processing.
Use the Section Name page (GP_PIN) to name a section and define its basic parameters.
Navigation:
You must enter the basic parameters of each section on the Section Name page. All elements within Absence Management share the same name page (GP_PIN).
Note: On the Section Name page, Calendar Period End Date is the only value for the Definition as of Date field. When you run an absence process, the system reads the calendar period end date to determine which effective-dated sections and process list to use.
Use the Sections - Definition page (GP_SECTION) to select elements that constitute a section.
