Plans in Sequence Consume All Positive Balances Before Negative Balance

The enhanced absence processing ensures that the application consumes all the positive balance from the absence plans in the sequence of the absence type for that worker before deducting negative balance.

For example, let's assume a worker has three absence plans A, B, and C in that order of priority in an absence type. Plan A is configured to allow negative balance, and Plan C is a qualification plan. When the worker submits an absence, the application will first consume all the positive balance from Plan A. After that, even though Plan A allows negative balance, the application will use the positive balance from Plan B. Once the positive balance from plan B is exhausted, the balance is consumed from the defined bands entitled in the qualification plan. Once all the positive balance is consumed, the application will deduct negative balance from Plan A.

Enhanced absence processing now first consumes all the positive balance from the plans in the sequnce in the absence type before using the negative balance from the absence plans configured for it.
