!!!MAINTAIN ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
The Maintain Assignment Information (PEAS) form allows you to view information related to an employee's assignment.
Maintain Assignment Information data is stored in the [P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENTS], [P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_ACTIONS], [P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENT_DETAILS], [P2K_SA_PREMIUM_USAGES] and [P2K_CM_DISTRIBUTIONS] tables.
Handling of Distributions and Premiums
*Defaulting will be carried forward to future records when in context. Defaulting of the distribution can come from the Job / Position, and will be done.
*Manual overrides will not be carried forward (Message will be issued.) Changes to distribution made directly on the DISTRIBUTION tab will be applied on current record, but will not be carried forward to future records.
*PAs with an effective date that fall on a past effective split record where a premium was added without changing assignment information, will receive the future update warning message. Premium(s) will only be applied to future record when none exist on future records.
**If 1 or more premiums exist, the message will be given to the user to manually adjust future records.
