Description

Action and Reason Code

When assignments are created, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management determines whether a new employee job record needs to be created by comparing the following HCM fields specified in the assignment against those of the existing employee job records: HR Business Unit, Company, Department, and Paygroup. If the values of these fields in the assignment are the same as those of an existing job record and if that job record is not being used by another concurrent assignment, Pay/Bill Management reuses the existing job record.

However, even if an existing job record is reused, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management may insert an effective dated record for that existing job in case other HCM fields in the assignment are different from the values in that existing job (such as tax location code or job code). If such an effective-dated record is created, the system uses the action and reason code that you specify here to populate that record.

Remove rapid time prompts

PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management uses the core PeopleSoft Time and Labor rapid time records to record time. However, these records are delivered without prompts. If you want prompts to be available in the Staffing Rapid Time component, once you install PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, click the Create rapid time prompts button. You need to do this only once unless a fix re-delivers the rapid time records. To remove the prompts, click the Remove rapid time prompts button. PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management are delivered without prompts.

Note: If the prompts have been removed, the Create Rapid Time Prompts button appears instead.

Use the Configure Staffing Group Timesheet page (FO_PREPOP_CNFIG) to allows administrators to specify the configuration of criteria needed to create a new Staffing Group Timesheet session.
