Enable Multiple Assignment Processing

To activate the new processing rules for SMP/SAP/SPP/SSP you will need to decide on a transition date.

The transition date will determine what date any new absences created will use the Case model to process the absences. For example if transition date is set to 1-AUG-2021, any new absences created with a start date on or after that date, will be created in the Case model. Any absences created before this date will be created in the existing Fast Formula solution.

After this date is set, it cannot be changed. The transition date will be stored in a new SYSTEM lookup type called ORA_HRX_GB_ABS_CONFIG, and the transition process will create a new lookup code called ORA_HRX_GB_<absence type>_TRANSITION_DATE with the start date of this record being the transition date. The end date will be end of time.

To enable the new processing procedure, you need to submit a flow from the My Client Groups > Payroll > Submit a Flow area.

To run the process, do the following:

1. Select the Legislative Data Group.
2. Select the flow pattern ‘Run Feature Upgrade’.
3. Enter the following parameters:
   • Payroll Flow – Enter a name for the flow
   • Feature – This will depend on the absence type. Please refer to the table below:

     Absence Types	Feature Name
     Create Maternity Absence Types	Set transition date to process statutory maternity absences in case model.
     Create Paternity Absence Types	Set transition date to process statutory paternity birth absences in case model.
     Create Adoption Absence Types	Set transition date to process statutory paternity adoption absences in case model.
     Create Sickness Absence Types	Set transition date to process statutory sick pay absences in case mode.

     Additional information: Enter the transition date in the format DD-MON-YYYY, for the process to work correctly.

     If you have existing absences, please set the transition date to a future date. Analysing any future absences and setting the date to after the last start date, is recommend.

     If you have no exsiting statutory absences, then use 01-Jan-1951.

     Note: Customers importing absences from previous application (1 year, 3 year, all, or last absence chain), are also recommended to set the transition date to a past date, for example 01-Jan-1951.
4. Submit the flow.

After the flow is completed successfully, you will be able to process absences with the new solution.

Note: After the multiple assignment processing is enabled, you can’t go back to the previous processing method.
