Defining an ERE Event
The first step in the ERE procedure is to define an ERE event. The ERE Data ESP (ERE_DATA_ESP) component enables you to define an ERE event at a collective level. The system uses the data defined for the event for reporting and payroll purposes.
These topics discuss how to define and ERE event.
