Defining PAR Tracking Data

To define PAR tracking data, use the Approval Transactions (GVT_WIP_RECORD) component.

These topics provide an overview of default PAR data and describe how to enter the PAR tracking data for federal self-service transactions.

Understanding PAR Tracking Data

Self-service transactions are designed so that employees can easily enter requests to change their own personal data and managers can enter requests to change their direct reports' job data. The government requires that certain information be included with each personnel action request. However, this data would not ordinarily be known by the self-service user.

To ensure that this information is recorded accurately, the system enables you to define the appropriate action/reason codes, Notice of Action (NOA) codes, legal authorities, and PAR remarks for each transaction. This default information is automatically written to the government PAR records when the federal component interface is run at the completion of the final self-service step for the transaction.

Defaults / Admin Page

Use the Defaults / Admin page (GVT_WIP_RECORD3) to define PAR tracking data.

Navigation:

Set Up HCM, and then Product Related, and then Workforce Administration, and then Workforce Data USF, and then Approval Transaction setup, and then Defaults / Admin

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Defaults / Admin page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
