Make Assignment

Introduction:

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.

Before you begin:

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.

Detailed Directions:

Step 1

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:

The succession plan page displays.

Step 2

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:

The Succession Plan page:

When finished, click on the Candidates page tab.

Step 3

On the Candidates page, press the Initialize button to update the page with assignment matches.

Candidates Tab

Enter additional candidates, if desired, by clicking in the Succession Candidates section and pressing the plus button to add a row or a minus button to delete a row. The highest ranking matches based on a comparison of member competencies to the position competencies display first.

 

Pressing the Save button will populate the Distance and Est Cost fields without making the assignment. This may help in determining the best candidate.

Step 4

Click on the Orders button in the row with the candidate you wish to assign

Typical recall orders

  1. The default is "DPT" for AO Issued orders. Leave as is for normal PCS assignment.
    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.

  2. Use "EXT" for Extensions. Click the lookup icon Search to select the code from the list if necessary.

  3. Use "FLT" for Fleet-Ups. Click the lookup icon Search to select the code from the list if necessary.
    Note: Do not use
    FLT just to issue no-cost orders. Only use it when the member is changing positions within the same department. If the member is changing departments (units), you must use "DPT" code. FLT coded orders do not generate the transactions necessary to change the member's unit in JUMPS.

  1. Use "RH1" for Retired Recall without a break. Click the lookup Search icon  to select the code from the list if necessary.  You must have an approved separation for Retired With Pay before you can cut the recall set of orders.

  1. Use "RH2" for Retired Recall with a break in service. Click the lookup icon Search to select the code from the list if necessary.  

  2. Use "RH3" for a Continuation of Recall Orders. Click the lookup icon Search to select the code from the list if necessary.  

  3. Use "RSV" for Extended Active Duty (EAD) Orders. Click the lookup icon Search to select the code from the list if necessary.
