• People Default - Do not use. This can only be used in conjunction with the HR module which has been deprecated. A default Job Code for an employee can only be configured in the hR module. The best option for defaults in to use the Defaults.
  If set, the ' People Default ' applies the Person's Employee’s Default Job Code and Activity Code (on the Employee Details tab of the User maintenance) as the defaults on the Leave Request.
  As there are no Time Code defaults on a Person's record, the Time Code needs to be included in the Leave Type record.
  The Work Centre defaults from the Job's Activity Group Line.
  These defaults are only used if the Default Job, Default Activity and Default Work Centre are not included on the
  Leave Type record. Timesheets Lines are generated on Approval if the Job/Activity/Work Centre are populated on the
  Leave Request.

  Returning Date and Leave Days. Timesheets Lines are generated on Approval if the Job/Activity/Work Centre are populated.

Leave defaults by Profit Centre

Image Added

Default Job/Activity/WorkCentre values can also be specified by ProfitCentre if needed. Leave Type Maintenance has a 'Defaults(0)' column, which opens a 'Leave Type Defaults' screen where Job/ACtivityActivity/WorkCentre/TimeCode values can be set. Minimum values required are Profit Centre and Job. If the list only has a PC and no Job/Activity/WC, then the main default values for the Leave type will be usedis Job.

If the user for which the leave is being requested for, belongs to a Profit Centre defined in the 'Leave Type Defaults', the defaults from the main page, if any, will be overwritten by the PC defaults. then those values will be used.

Note that if any of the defaults are missing, the user can always select Job/Activity/Workcentre/TimeCode in the request leave screen. The defaults are just defaults. At the time the user requests the leaveof approval, if all the values have been selected, then when approved, the timesheet entry will be created, whether there were the values ere defaults or notmanually edited/changed.
