GP_ABS_TYPE |
Define the types of absences that your organization recognizes. You can define reasons in each absence type. |
When you define an absence take element, you assign it an absence type that describes the category of the absence; for example, vacation or sick. You can specify whether an absence type applies to all countries or a specific country. For each absence type, you can define an unlimited number of absence reasons.
When reporting absence events, the system displays the absence type associated with the take that you enter. Entering an absence reason is optional. During the batch and online forecasting processes, the absence type and reason code populate system elements (for example, ABSENCE_TYPE, ABSENCE_TYPE_DB (absence type day before), and ABSENCE_REASON) that you can access within your absence formulas.
Use the Absence Take Types page (GP_ABS_TYPE) to define the types of absences that your organization recognizes.
You can define reasons in each absence type.
