Running the Festive Advance calculation process calculates the festive advance amount for individual employees. After you have run the process using the Calculate Festive Advance page, you can then view and modify the results of the calculation using the View/Update Pymnts by FA Type and the View/Update Pymnts by Emplid components. You can manually add new employees and modify festive advance amounts if necessary.

Note: After you have reviewed the festive advance payment amounts in PeopleSoft Human Resources, you can post the festive advances to PeopleSoft Global Payroll using the Post/Unpost Festive Adv SGP page in the Global Payroll application—Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Absence and Payroll Processing > Prepare Payroll > Post/Unpost Festive Advncs SGP. The GPSG_FA_POST AE (festive advance) posting process enables you to copy the festive advances from the FA Payments table into the Global Payroll Positive Input (PI) tables. You can then nominate the calendar to which the payments are to be posted. Once the payments are posted to PI, the status of the festive advance payments are updated to prevent reposting. An unpost option included in the festive advance posting process also enables you to delete the posted advances from the Positive Input tables, provided the pay has not already been finalized.

Use the View/Update Pymnts by FA Type (view/update payments by festive advance type) page (FA_PAY_DETAILS) to approve, cancel and, if necessary, modify the festive advance payment amount at an employee level.

Data appears based on pay group, calendar year, and festive advance holiday type.
