Creating calculations

Use this procedure to define calculations. Calculations can be used by formulas or tables.

  1. Select Absence Management > Set Up > Plans and Components > Calculations.
  2. Click New.
  3. Specify this information:
    Absence Calculation
    Specify a code to identify the calculation.
    Description
    Specify a description defining the calculation.
    Zero Calculation
    Select this check box to return a zero calculation.

    For example, your company has a "use it or lose it" policy on available balances. You can include a calculation on a Carryover limit table by selecting this field. When the reset date or point is reached, it applies the carryover limit, which is zero, and creates a lost available transaction.

    Note: If the zero calculation check box is selected, the remaining fields on the form are not applicable.
    Amount
    Specify an amount to start the calculation.

    If an amount is not required and if you are not using a custom compute for this calculation, you can specify 1.0000. The result of the fields below are multiplied by 1.

    Custom Compute
    Select a custom compute if you did not select Zero Calculation and specify an Amount.

    See Custom calculations overview of business flow.

  4. In the Multiply By section, specify this information:
    Factor
    Specify a factor by which the start amount is multiplied. If Standard hours per pay period is selected, then the amount that is specified in the Standard Hours field on Employee is used.
    Service Class
    Specify a service class by which the starting amount is multiplied.
    • If the calculation is used for an hours table, the starting amount is multiplied by the service class hours.
    • If the calculation is used for an earnings table, the starting amount is multiplied by the service class earnings.

    Service classes cannot be used on calculations that are used on allotment tables, limit tables, or general ledger tables.

    Amount
    Specify an amount by which the starting amount is multiplied.
    Other Amounts
    Specify an Other Amount from the Resource record in Infor HR Talent.
  5. In the Divide By section, specify this information:
    Factor
    Specify a factor by which the start amount is divided. If Standard hours per pay period is selected, then the amount that is specified in the Standard Hours field on the Resource record in Infor HR Talent is used.
    Service Class
    Specify a service class by which the starting amount is divided.
    • If the calculation is used for an hours table, the starting amount is divided by the service class hours.
    • If the calculation is used for an earnings table, the starting amount is divided by the service class earnings.

    Service classes cannot be used on calculations that are used on allotment tables, limit tables, or general ledger tables.

    Only hours for qualified positions are counted. Qualified positions are held on Resource Plan or Absence Plan Enrollment. If the enrollments do not contain position information, then all hours in the service class for the resource are counted. For example, if you select Eligibility Group in the Enrollment Type field on Absence Plan.
