Fast Formula – Absence

Fast Formula – Absence
In our previous sections, we went over the basics of Fast Formula and how Compensation uses the Formula in their products.
In this session, we will cover the Fast Formula usages in Absences.
Since we covered the Types, Input Values, Context and how to write a Fast Formula in detail in our previous sections, we will not get into that again in these sections.
If you have any questions or doubts, please post us a message.

Absence Formula Types:
Formula Type Name
Description
Usage
Global Absence Accrual
This formula type can be used to define the bands that identify how much paid time eligible workers accrue over the course of an accrual period. The criteria may be years of service, grades, hours worked etc. However, use this formula only if using the accrual matrix option and its corresponding formulas does not meet the requirement.
Manage Absence Plans -> In the Plan Type field, select Accrual -> Accruals tab Accrual Attributes section, select Formula
Global Absence Accrual Event
The Global Absence Accrual Event fast formula can be used to capture information about events that occur during a calendar year which would cause a change in the accrual band that the worker belongs to. This formula can capture such dates and return to the accrual matrix formula which would automatically fetch the respective band values as of each of the dates fed into the accrual matrix formula
You cannot attach this formula to the plan definition at any point. When you create the formula, the formula name needs to be the same as the absence plan name. This automatically links the formula to the plan.
Global Absence Accrual Matrix
The Global Absence Accrual Matrix fast formula can be used in conjunction with the accrual matrix to implement requirements such as band change pro-ration, FTE pro-ration etc.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accrual -> Accrual Matrix section ->  the defined formula in the Accrual Formula column
Global Absence Band Entitlement
The Global Absence Band Entitlement fast formula can be used to define the bands of entitlement duration and percentage of payment that is applicable against a qualification plan entitlement.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Qualification ->, Qualification Band Matrix table -> Qualification Details  ->  Entitlement Formula
Global Absence Carryover
The Global Absence Carryover fast formula can be used in cases where a single carryover rule does not apply to the entire population that belongs to the accrual plan.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Carryover Rule
Global Absence Carryover Proration
The Global Absence Carryover Proration fast formula can be used in cases where a pro-ration factor (or a multiplication factor) needs to be applied onto the maximum carryover limit.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Carryover Proration Formula
Global Absence Ceiling
The Global Absence Ceiling fast formula can be used in cases where a single ceilingr rule does not apply to the entire population that belongs to the accrual plan.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Ceiling Formula
Global Absence Ceiling Proration
The Global Absence Ceiling Proration fast formula can be used in cases where a pro-ration factor (or a multiplication factor) needs to be applied onto the maximum ceiling limit.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Ceiling Proration Formula
Global Absence Entry Validation
The Global Absence Entry Validation fast formula can be used in cases where a custom data validation or business rule validation needs to be performed when an absence entry is being made
Manage Absence type -> Absence Type page Type Attributes tab, General Attributes section -> the Validation Formula
Global Absence Partial Period Accrual Rate
The Global Absence Partial Period Accrual Rate fast formula is where any logic required for pro-ration of accrual balance during enrollment year and un-enrollment year needs to be entered.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Partial Accrual Period Formula
Global Absence Plan Duration
The Global Absence Plan Duration fast formula can be used to over-ride the default duration calculation logic for daily accrual duration entries against accrual plans. For example, if the accrual deduction to be considered for an absence entry in an accrual plan in an organization depends on the location of the worker, then this formula can be leveraged to specify this dynamic calculation logic. This formula will be invoked once for each day of absence.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Conversion Formula
Global Absence Plan Enrollment End
The Global Absence Plan Enrollment End fast formula can be used to over-ride the default enrollment end date rule for the absence plan when workers are being terminated from the organization or when the Update Accrual Plan Enrollments batch job is being run.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> End Date Formula
Global Absence Plan Enrollment Start
The Global Absence Plan Enrollment Start fast formula can be used to over-ride the default enrollment start date rule for the absence plan when workers are being hired into the organization or when the Update Accrual Plan Enrollments batch job is being run.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Start Date Formula
Global Absence Plan Entitlement
The Global Absence Plan Entitlement fast formula can be used to define the entire entitlement structure for a qualification plan for cases where matrix architecture does not fit the bill.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan page Entitlements tab , Entitlement Attributes section -> Entitlement Formula
Global Absence Plan Period Anniversary Event Date
The Global Absence Plan Period Anniversary Event Date fast formula can be used to specify the date to be used as the calendar leave year start date for accrual plans whose term is of type Anniversary year.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural -> in Accural Tab, Plan Limits  -> Anniversary Event Formula
Global Absence Plan Roll Backward End
The Global Absence Plan Roll Backward End fast formula is to be used to determine the start date of a plan term that uses the Roll Backward term rule.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, Qualification -> Plan page Plan Attributes tab, Plan Term section  -> Start Formula
Global Absence Plan Use Rate
The Global Absence Plan Use Rate fast formula can be used to dynamically specify the rate definition associated with the qualification plan depending on custom conditions.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, Qualification  -> Plan page Entries and Balances tab -> Formula
Global Absence Proration
The Global Absence Proration fast formula can be used to apply a pro-ration factor (or a multiplication factor), onto the final accrual calculated and returned by the accrual calculation rules in an accrual based absence plan.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural ->Plan page Accruals tab, Accrual Attributes section -> Accrual Proration Formula
Global Absence Type Duration
The Global Absence Type Duration fast formula can be used to over-ride the default calculation logic that the application uses to determine the absence entry duration and accrual plan usage against absence entries.
Manage Absence Type -> Type Attributes tab, General Attributes section ->  Conversion Formula
Global Absence Vesting Period
The Global Absence Vesting Period fast formula can be used to enforce a custom vesting period (a period during which the Worker is enrolled into the plan and accruing balance but cannot use them) logic while defining an absence plan.
Manage Absence Plans -> Plan Type field, select Accural ->Plan page Accruals tab, Accrual Attributes section -> Vesting Period Formula

      Hi,
      Thanks for asking. There is nothing called correctly written. As long as it serves the purpose and does not affect performance, it is correct formula.
      I do not like involve with functional requirements. It is getting compiled so it is OK.

      Though, I have only one suggestion. Look like you are interested whether the person is enrolled in a specific plan therefore you can avoid the option parameter that may save you lot of coding.
      Try pass ‘NA’ to the option parameter and test the same.
      Please let me know the result.

      Hi,
      Sorry, I do not have any sample formula. As far I know Absence has already seeded lot of formula in the accrual area. Why can’t you take a formula as a sample on work on it.
      Hire dates is available as DBI so you can determine the starting month.
      please let me if you have any specific issue in writing formula.

    Hi Tilak/Lakshmi , i am trying to get the accrual balance for a accrual plan in T&L fast formula . Tried to use GET_PLAN_BALANCE('Vacation') , but I get the message "function does not exist / parameter are worong" . I tried setting the context

    CHANGE_CONTEXTS(HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID = AssignmentID,PERSON_ID = PersonID,EFFECTIVE_DATE =CalcEndDate,LEGISLATIVE_DATA_GROUP_ID=l_ldg_ID)
    (
    l_vac_bal = GET_PLAN_BALANCE('Vacation')

    Then , I get a error message that HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID is a local variable or DB item.

      Nagendra, the blog provides the context, input value and the output name and type. The remaining is your business logic.
      I do not have any sample, if I find any, i will post it here.
      The simple sample is :

      carryOver = 0
      if (condition) then
      (
      carryOver= 12
      )
      else(
      carryOver= 22

    Hi Tilak/Lakshmi,

    We are using below absence entry validation formula to restrict absence to certain days in a year. It is working fine except one case where we are trying to update the same absence and reducing the duration

    For Ex.
    If I applied leave for 4 days then my L_Total_Duration = 4
    Now when I am trying to update the same leave and reducing the duration from 4 to 3 it is calculating L_Total_Duration = 4(Earlier duration)+3 = 7 which is greater than 5 and as per the condition in code it is giving me the error.

    CHANGE_CONTEXTS(START_DATE=l_start_date, END_DATE=l_end_date)

    (

    WHILE ANC_PER_ABS_ENTRS_ABSENCE_ENTRY_ID_ARR.exists(i) LOOP

    (

    CHANGE_CONTEXTS(ABSENCE_ENTRY_ID=ANC_PER_ABS_ENTRS_ABSENCE_ENTRY_ID_ARR[i])

    (

    if(l_absence_type_id = ANC_ABS_ENTRS_ABSENCE_TYPE_ID AND ANC_ABS_ENTRS_ABSENCE_STATUS_CD <> 'ORA_WITHDRAWN') then

    (

    L_Prev_Duration = L_Prev_Duration + ANC_ABS_ENTRS_DURATION

    )

    )

    i=i+1

    )

    )

    L_Total_Duration = L_Prev_Duration + L_Duration

    l_log = ESS_LOG_WRITE(TO_CHAR(L_Total_Duration))

    l_log = ESS_LOG_WRITE(TO_CHAR(L_Prev_Duration))



    IF(L_Total_Duration > 5) THEN

    (

    VALID = 'N'

    ERROR_MESSAGE = 'You cannot apply for this leave because your balance will exceed the Max Eligible duration limit for this type of absence'

    )

    /*================ FORMULA SECTION END =======================*/

    return VALID,ERROR_MESSAGE

    Can you please suggest how we can control this? ANy suggestion would be helpful.

      I am not sure what kind of formula type you are using. Your information is incomplete. All i can say, the function uses the following context so that you make sure, your formula type supports the following context

      PERSON_ID
      HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID
      EFECTIVE_DATE
      LEGISLATIVE_DATA_GROUP_ID

      And the formula function expects the plan name as the parameter so you call the function with the plan name.

      Hope this helps

    I am using a Global Absence Entry Validation type. I need to know the balance of a plan for an specific person to validate if he/she can take the same absence and how many days it could take in it.

    My fast formula is this:
    /************* Retrieve the accrual balance in the formula *********************/

    DEFAULT FOR IV_EFF_DT IS '2014/01/01' (DATE)
    DEFAULT FOR ACCRUAL_PLAN_ID is 0
    DEFAULT FOR HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID is 0
    DEFAULT FOR PERSON_ID is 0
    DEFAULT FOR EFFECTIVE_DATE (date)
    q
    L_Leave_Balance = 0
    L_Accrual_Plan_ID = 300000053618019


    /* Accrual Plan ID */
    L_Term_Id = IV_TERM_ID
    L_Person_Id = IV_PERSON_ID
    L_Eff_Dt = IV_EFF_DT

    CHANGE_CONTEXTS(ACCRUAL_PLAN_ID = L_Accrual_Plan_ID,
    HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID = L_Term_Id,
    PERSON_ID = L_Person_Id,
    EFFECTIVE_DATE =L_Eff_Dt )

    (
    L_Leave_Balance = GET_ACCRUAL_BALANCE()
    )

    If to_number(L_Leave_Balance) > 0 then
    ( VALID = 'N'
    ERROR_MESSAGE = 'TO_CHAR(L_Leave_Balance)'
    )
    else
    (
    ( VALID = 'Y')
    return VALID, ERROR_MESSAGE

    Please let me know if any mistake or missing code. Thanks a lot again, Matias.

      you are not passing plan name to the function. Pass the plan name, it should work. let me know the outcome after passing the plan name.


      you do not need to define the context as input values
      INPUTS ARE PERSON_ID (number), HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID (number), EFECTIVE_DATE (date)
      LEGISLATIVE_DATA_GROUP_ID

      look like input values are not defined as input values.

      please find a way to debug every step of your formula.
      please go through documentation on absence formula.
      hope this helps

    /* Accrual Plan ID */
    L_Term_Id = IV_TERM_ID
    L_Person_Id = IV_PERSON_ID

      sorry I made a mistake of reading the function get_plan_balance instead , GET_ACCRUAL_BALANCE.
      It needs a context ACCRUAL_PLAN_ID and the context is not supported by the formula type. Use the right formula type.

    Hey, I want to accrue leave balance from hire date to calculation date of an employee. Seeded fast formula(PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION) does not calculate the accrual of the hiring month if we hire an employee in mid month and same goes for termination. Please help me out.

    Hi Tilak,

    Thanks for your blog. I had learnt fast formula because of your blog only.

    I want to know the behaviour of the fast formula. Global Absence Partial Period Accrual Rate.

    Scenario:-
    for front loaded plan vacation for interns we give values as per the accrual Matrix defined. No formula is there for accrual matrix only Global Absence Partial Period Accrual Rate ff is attached.

    if we hire intern as of 1st Feb(without terminating )and run the accruals which will give positive prorated value and then terminate the intern as of July(same year) then the prorated values are comming positive and prorated which is correct.

    But Hire intern let say as of 1st Feb 2022 and on the same day on 1st Feb 2022 before running the accruals enter a future termination to interns then the plan gets de-enrolled as of termination date but then the ff gets triggered and returns a negative prorated value.

    Is this a bug in the ff code or its a valid scenario? If it's a bug how to get it fixed?

    DEFAULT for eligible_flag is 'N'
    DEFAULT FOR ANC_ABS_TYP_NAME IS ' '
    DEFAULT FOR VALID IS 'Y'
    DEFAULT FOR ERROR_MESSAGE IS ' '
    DEFAULT FOR ANC_ABS_ENTRS_PERSON_ID IS 300000014258905

    person_number = GET_CONTEXT(PERSON_ID,0)

    IF ANC_ABS_TYP_NAME='Election' THEN
    (
    IF (ANC_ABS_ENTRS_PERSON_ID=person_number) THEN
    eligible_flag = 'Y'
    ELSE
    eligible_flag = 'N'
    )
    IF (eligible_flag = 'Y') THEN
    (
    VALID = 'Y'
    ERROR_MESSAGE='SUCCESS'
    )
    ELSE (
    VALID = 'N'
    ERROR_MESSAGE='ERROR_MESSAGE'
    )
    RETURN VALID, ERROR_MESSAGE

    For this Fast Formula for election validation, I am checking a single person ID and am getting this error (An error has occurred. (ANC-3405194)) while submitting from UI. What changes should I make?

      The error you mentioned comes from code that calls the formula. you need to check with the product team
