Upgrade Existing Purchases

PA_SP_UPGRADE

Identify periods for which service was previously purchased and the amount of service purchased for that period.

If an employee purchased service before your PeopleSoft Pension Administration 9.2 implementation, you can enter that information into the system so that the pension system accounts for that previous service purchase when it:

  • Identifies leave periods that are eligible for service purchase.

  • Calculates the amount of service that is available for purchase.

Entering this data is optional. But if you do not supply this data, there is a risk that a duplicate service purchase will be allowed.

Use the Upgrade Existing Purchases page (PA_SP_UPGRADE) to identify periods for which service was previously purchased and the amount of service purchased for that period.

If you create a service purchase transaction for the employee, the begin date and end date of the transaction are compared to the dates entered here to see if the employee has already purchased service for this period.
