The Federal Maintenance windows contain information such as Remarks and Legal Authority Codes and process methods used by the RPA. In general, only the system administrator defines information in these windows. Information defined in one window is often viewable in another so that you can understand and view the relationship of data. You can also search for information in these windows using the application's selective search and Find window capabilities.
The federal maintenance windows contain the following information:
Families and NOA Familes: View Nature of Action Codes (NOACs) and their related nature of Action (NOA) families. See: Nature of Action Families
NOA Codes and Remarks: Associate Remarks to NOACs. You can associate several Remarks to a single NOAC, as well as a single Remark to several NOACs. See: Associating Remarks to NOACs
NOA Legal Authorities: View current NOACs and each NOAC's associated legal authorities; associate legal authorities to your 900 NOACs. See: Maintaining Legal Authority Codes
Personnel Office Identifiers: Link the Personnel Office to the group box you defined in the routing groups and group boxes window and enter Approving Officer's name. See: Maintaining Personnel Office ID Information
Process Methods: Defines the data entry methods on RPA fields such as user enterable or auto-populated and associates these fields to a specific NOA family. See: Process Method
Warning: Changing the NOAC order of processing may severely impact the database when you update records. For example, if you assign Pay Adjustment NOAC 894 a processing number that falls below Promotion NOAC 702, the system may incorrectly calculate the employee's promotion salary.
Enter and Maintain Events: Defines productivity data by event codes, descriptions, and standard completion times. See Setting Up Event Codes
