Sources of Positive Input

Positive input can come from various sources. You can:

• Manually enter data through the positive input pages.

• Receive data from Time and Labor, the Manage Variable Compensation business process in HR, or third-party applications.

• Run the Absence Take process (GP_PAYE) to convert paid and unpaid absences into positive input.

• Include a generate positive input section in your process list, causing the system to create positive input for a different pay calendar.

With one exception, manual entries override positive input generated by other sources. (Manual entries with an action type of Add do not override automated entries.) If a payee has system-generated entries from multiple sources, such as Time and Labor and the Absence Take process, but no manual entries, the system processes all automated entries during the pay run.

You can edit positive input only if it was entered into the system manually. To add, delete, or correct a system-generated entry, enter positive input that overrides the system-generated entry; if the data was generated by another application, correct the source records and retransmit the data.
