Run the Reset Date and Adv Flag SQR process (FPA325). This process resets advancement dates and advancement flags.

The system enables you to search for employees whose advancement date falls within a specific period after you run the Advancement Date Calculation process. You define this period in the Days Before (Sub) Step Increment field in the FPS Installation component.

To search for next advancements, run the Employees to be Promoted SQR process (FPA310).

This process:

  • Activates the Advancement Flag for employees whose advancement date is between the system date and the duration that is defined in the FPS Installation component.

    For example, if the duration is 30 days, the advancement flag is activated for all employees whose advancement date is expected within 30 days after processing.

  • Considers only employees whose current statuses and steps or substeps authorize automatic advancement and whose civil service positions on the expected advancement dates authorize automatic advancement.

  • Accounts for PeopleSoft HCM security rules.

    The system defines the department and employee scope that are affected by the process, depending on the user's ID code.

The process creates the file FPA310.LIS that lists employees that are to be advanced.
