  2. In the Resource Criteria section, specify this information:
    Organization Unit Group
    Specify an Organization Unit Group to limit the resources considered for processing to those in a given Organization Unit Group. All resources whose primary work assignment's Organization Unit are within this Organization Unit Group are processed. If selected, Resource Group, and Resources fields must be blank.
    Resource Group
    Specify a resource group to limit the records that are processed to those in a given group. If a resource group is selected, Organization Unit Group and Resources fields must be blank.
    Resources
    Select up to eight individual resources to include in the transfer. If resources are selected, then the Organization Unit Group and Resource Group must be blank.
  3. In the Transfer From section, specify this information:
    Accrual End Dates
    Specify a date range for ended resource plan records. Records must have an Accrual End Date that meets both of these criteria:
    • greater than or equal to the beginning date of this range
    • less than or equal to the ending of this range
    Include Zero Balance Plans
    Select this check box to process records with non-zero balances. Clear the check box to include zero balances here.

    Stop Event Processing
    Select this check box if you want no further events/usage to be processed in the Transfer From resource plan.

    If the Transfer From plan has balances, aside from carryover balances, and the Stop Event Processing check box is selected, the Transfer option on the Transfer From resource plan is set to Stop Events.

    If the Transfer From plan has no balances aside from a carryover balance and the Include Zero Balances check box is selected, then:

    • If the Stop Event Processing check box is selected, the Transfer option on the Transfer From Resource plan is set to Stop Events; Closed.
    • If the Stop Event Processing check box is not selected, the Transfer option on the Transfer From Resource plan is set to Closed.
  4. In the Transfer To section, specify this information:
    Criteria
    Identify any limitation as to where the balance amounts can be transferred. Select one of these options:
    • Within Plan Type: If balances may be transferred to another eligibility group within the same Plan Type.

    • Any Plan: If balances can be transferred to any other resource plan record.
    To Plan Entry Date
    Specify the plan entry date for the Transfer To plan.
    • If Earliest Date is selected, the Plan Entry dates between the Transfer From and Transfer To resource plans are compared. The earliest of the two dates is used on the Transfer To resource plan.
