Defining User-Defined (TAKE CONFIG) Fields

This topic provides an overview of user-defined fields and discusses:

  • TAKE CONFIG1.

  • TAKE CONFIG2.

  • TAKE CONFIG3.

  • TAKE CONFIG4.

The Calculation page that you use to define absence take elements includes four user-defined fields, which populate the system elements TAKE CONFIG1 through TAKE CONFIG4. The TAKE CONFIG fields provide additional instructions to the system during the absence process.

If you are defining your own absence take element, follow the same usage conventions for the user-defined fields to ensure that the system functions properly.

Note: The system elements TAKE CONFIG1 through TAKE CONFIG4 and TAKE CONFIG1 DU through TAKE CONFIG4 DU are used with many of the delivered formulas in PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain.

TAKE CONFIG1 identifies the effect on extra period payments. This table details the extra period effect according to the delivered values:
