Combining Elements Into Rules

In Absence Management, you create and store rules by entering data through the online pages.

These rules drive the core application and define the absence management process. Think of a rule as what defines how an element is calculated. Rules define the absence management process itself.

Each country using Absence Management defines its own rules. Absence Management enables you to define rules that address your specific absence management processing needs.

This diagram shows how elements and rules define your absence management process.

Important:

There is usually no need to modify the Absence Management COBOL programs. Using the online pages, you can configure the system to meet your absence management processing needs. PeopleSoft strongly discourages the modification of the delivered COBOL programs—with the possible exception of modifying array size—because modifications can affect the integrity of the entire system.
