How Are Severance Events Completed?

The Severance Event Activator runs periodically (at least daily). It looks for severance events with a trigger date on or before the current date. For each such event, the system executes its activity. The type of severance event dictates what happens to the severance event's state. Refer to Field Events Versus Office Events for the details.

In the above diagram, the event activator activates a pending event on 18-Dec-99. Take note of the state of the severance event (it becomes Awaiting Field Activity Completion).
