Hello,
Our managers have the ability in MSS to enter a TERM VOL or TERM INVOL action that allows them to select a new status from the list of 12+ statuses available through HR03.1. Our issue is that the managers are supposed to only select TP for Term Pending, but they keep selecting TF for Term Final and that messes up Payroll and does not allow their last pay to be completed timely if HR does not correct the status to TP. Is there a way to limit the statuses available based on the action being taken, like TERM VOL and TERM VOL be restricted to only TP, but if they do a STATUS action, they can still select LV for someone going on Leave?
Thank you,
Hi @Wade-T (love the avatar!).
I can suggest a few different ways to tackle this:
1. If you are using processflow approvals for the actions, you can check for invalid combinations in the flow and either reject the action or even change it behind-the-scenes in the flow.
2. You can add a COBOL user exit on PA52 that checks for invalid combinations and returns an error during entry of the action. User exits are not "modifications" per se, but do require COBOL coding skills and access to the backend server to compile.
3. You can customize the MSS code (which can a royal pain) to validate the combinations prior to them being sent to PA52.
