Set Up Absence Resequencing

Absence resequencing occurs when there is a change to the set of requested absences, or to scheduling, that triggers the reprocessing of previously approved, future-dated absence requests.

Allow sequencing for absence requests

To specify that sequencing can occur for the causes of absences that are associated with absence requests, you must turn on Allow Sequencing for each cause of absence.

To allow sequencing for the causes of absences that are associated with absence requests

  1. Choose Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature., enter causes of absence, and then choose the related link.

    The Causes of Absence page opens.

  2. For each cause of absence, perform the following steps:

    1. On the action bar, choose Edit.
      The Cause of Absence Card page opens.
    2. On the General FastTab, turn on Allow Sequencing.

Prevent negative balances on attendance plan lines

To prevent negative balances on attendance plan lines, you must turn on Prevent Negative Balances for each cause of absence.

Note

Note:
When Prevent Negative Balances is turned on, Allow Sequencing must also be turned on because when the eligible balance for a cause of absence reaches zero, Sparkrock 365 checks the cause of absence sequencing to see whether the absence can be applied to another cause of absence. If the absence cannot be applied to another cause of absence, an error is displayed and the employee is prevented from proceeding with the absence request.

SRW Process Abs. Registration job

The SRW Process Abs. Registration job performs absence resequencing in Sparkrock 365. If an absence request has a day that is today, the job adds an entry on the Absence Registration page. The entry has a Source Type of Used. After the end date of a multiple day absence request, all entries for the duration of the absence request have a Source Type of Used.
