This section will guide you through the process to make an assignment.
All users should review the PeopleSoft 8.0 Tutorial to familiarize yourself with the terminology and new navigation you will experience. Information on the tutorial and other general navigation information is located in the Using PeopleSoft section.
Note: Do not use this process when a Reservist, who is on long-term Active Duty (Title 10 recall for example), is Directed to PCS. These members must be issued new reserve active duty orders if a PCS is required. See the Reserve Active Duty Greater Than 139 Days for more information on issuing new orders.
If you are not continuing from the Develop Slate lesson, you will need a position number.
If you do not have the position number, you may perform a search and select the position from the available list returned.
Note: Your view of any menu or page is dependent on your access to PeopleSoft and the security settings associated with that access. Your operator ID may not have access to all the pages we include in our user aid documentation. Or we may show a field as editable, but your setting is "view only".
This exercise is a continuation of Develop Slate. Access Succession Plan pages by selecting an available position from the worklist created.
(If you are not continuing from the Develop Slate process, you may also access these pages by doing one of the following:
return to the business process map, select the Slate Development/Order Processing menu, and choose Develop Slate/Order Processing. Enter a position number in the search dialog box.
The succession plan page displays.
Verify the dates. All fields on the first page will default if you used the worklist to make the assignment. If accessed through the business process map, the dates should be set according to the following:
Effective Date: System date. For historical tracking purposes, do not change this date.
Next
Succession Plan Date: Date the position will again be available
for assignment processing. This is based on the Projected Vacancy Date
plus the length
of the tour.
Note: If creating this Succession Plan for a Retired Recall
the Next Succession Plan Date must be the date the recall is projected
to end.
Plan Status: Automatically updated when the assignment is made. Do not change this field.
