    Value 2 will include the records with the master override flag set, but will clear this flag upon transfer to the new structure.

    Value 3 will not include any records in the transfer for which the master override flag is set to Yes.

    Structure Employee Group

    Select the plan structure to which employees will be transferred.

    Dates Option

    Identify which, if any, dates should be transferred from one plan to the other.

    If dates are already populated for the employee record in the plan structure to which values are being transferred, they will not be overwritten when you select Options 2, 3, or 4.

    Balances Option

    Select which, if any, balances should be transferred from one plan to the other.

    History Detail Option

    Select whether the transaction history records should be transferred from one plan to the other. If you select Transferred, the transaction detail will be copied from one plan to the other. A purge program could be run to eliminate the transaction history in the plan from which the transfer is occurring, if desired.

  6. If you select Transfer Option 2, use the following guidelines to enter field values:

    If you select Transfer Option 1, leave all of the fields in the Transfer Option 2 tab blank.

    Date Range

    Type a date range in which to look for ended employee master records. Employee records must have an Accrual End Date on or after the beginning date of this range to be included in the transfer processing.

    Include Zero Balances

    Select whether or not you want the program to transfer data from zero balance master records with accrual end dates within the date range.

    Selecting Yes transfers dates and historical details as indicated by other parameters for these employees.

    Transfer Criteria

    Identify any limitation as to where the balance amounts may be transferred.

    Select Option 1 if balances must be transferred to another record within the same plan structure.

    Select Option 2 if balances may be transferred to another structure within the plan.

    Select Option 3 if balances may be transferred to another record for a plan with the same Plan Category.

    Select Option 4 if balances may be transferred to any other employee record found.

    Transfer Date

    Select what date should be used to create the balance transfer transactions. If you select From Employee Master, the application uses the later of the accrual end date for the record from which balances are being transferred or the master entry date of the record to which the balances are being transferred.

    If you select Current Date, the application uses the current system date.

    Stop Event Processing

    Selecting Yes sets the Transfer Flag on Employee Absence Plan Master (LP31.1)for the plan from which the balance is being transferred. The Transfer Flag values that stop even processing will prevent the Employee Absence Plan Calculation (LP140)cycle from processing events/usage transactions for this employee plan record.

    Multiple Positions

    Select how to treat employees when multiple records that meet the transfer to criteria are found.

    Select First Position Found to transfer the balance amounts to the first eligible employee master record found.

    Select Allocate by FTE if there will be multiple records found within the same plan or structure, and if the Balance Type is 2 (Position) so that position codes are on the masters. This allows the program to seek out FTE values for each position and prorate the transfer if found. If FTE values cannot be determined, the first eligible employee master record receives the transfer.

    Dates Options

    Select which, if any, dates should be transferred from one plan to the other.

    If you select Options 2 though 4, dates will not be overwritten if they are already populated for the employee record in the plan structure to which values are being transferred.

    Balances Option

    Select which, if any, balances should be transferred from one plan to the other. Transactions will be created to effect the transfer of any balance amounts selected. These transactions will need to be processed by Employee Absence Plan Calculation (LP140) to update the employee master records in the plans.

    History Detail Option

    Select whether the transaction history records should be transferred from one plan to the other.

    If you select Transferred, the transaction detail will be copied from one plan to the other. A purge program could be run to eliminate the transaction history in the plan from which the transfer is occurring, if desired.
