Absence Management Modes

Absence Management processes payees and elements by utilizing a very specific processing order. All the components of the system that you define, such as payees, elements, and rules, come together at the time an absence run is executed.

Think of Absence Management as having two primary modes:

• Setup mode

  During the setup mode, you define the various elements, rules, and other system configurations that make up your absence management system.

• Processing mode

  During the processing mode, Absence Management looks at all the setup information that you’ve defined, along with any data that you've entered, and processes it according to your specifications.

Note:

The discussion in this topic about the batch architecture process flow is a very high-level overview of the process. Each phase of the process is discussed in greater detail later in this documentation.
