PERSONNEL ACTIONS#

Personnel Actions are date sensitive proposals to change a person's employment and/or work arrangement, for which some kind of approval is required.

Personnel Actions are created from application forms for functions that have a PA Type associated with them and maintained through the Maintain Personnel Actions (ISPA) form.

Make the appropriate field changes in the PA new values column. The PA type of value indicates whether the PA new value column has been entered by the user or has been defaulted in by the system and from which source it is derived.

After all updates have been made, you must approve the PA status before running USPPA.

Record Personnel Actions data is maintained on the P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_ACTIONS, P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_CHANGES, P2K_AM_REQUESTS and P2K_AM_REQUEST_ACTIVITIES tables.

Update Future Records
If this toggle is ON, then any effective date record after the date of the PA will also be updated. If the toggle is OFF, only an effective date record that is in effect when the PA is processed will be updated.
Cascade Change Reason
If this and the Update Future Records toggle are ON, then the change reason for this PA will override all future dated effective record change reasons. If the toggle is OFF and the Update Future Records toggle is ON, future effective dated records will be updated but their change reason will remain the same. Cascade_Change_Reason is an optional toggle field.
Is Date Correction
This toggle signifies if the PA is dedicated solely to a date effective correction. No other data changes are permitted in an effective date change personnel action. The ONLY column that will be affected is the effective date column.
