Complete Pay Period

This step is the "point of no return" for the job. Once this step has been successfully run, neither this step--nor any step before it--can be run again. Also, the ability to delete the job from the system is lost after this step is accepted.

What Happens:	A request is sent to the Application Server to perform the Complete Pay Period process on all pay periods in the close job. What this process accomplishes includes, but is not limited to, the following: Calendars: Need to have status set to Complete. Requests: Requests set as requested are handled by the System as follows: Transaction Requests: All requests are set to canceled by the system. The Approver's Comments field is set to "Canceled by Close Pay Period Process". Self-Schedule Trade Requests are set as follows: When the Schedule Trade "assumes approval" , the schedule trade status is set to Approved. The Approvers Comments field is set to "Auto Approved by the Complete Pay Period Step". This is processed always even with no Staffing and Scheduling License - there should be no data that needs to be updated. When the Schedule Trade "assumes denial" , the schedule trade status is set to Denied. The Approvers Comments field is set to "Auto Denied by the Complete Pay Period Step". This is processed always even with no Staffing and Scheduling License - there should be no data that needs to be updated. Offer Requests: All accepted offer requests are set to Approved. The Approver's Comments field is set to "Auto Accepted by the Complete Pay Period Step". This is always processed even with there is no Staffing and Scheduling License - there should be no data that needs to be updated. This occurs when either of the following are true: The Offering Employee is included in the Pay Group Instance being closed. The Accepting Employee is included in the Pay Group Instance being closed. Bid Requests: Requests are set to Canceled, and all bids are denied upon the Complete Pay Period step. The Approver's Comments field is set to "Auto Canceled by the Complete Pay Period Step". This is processed always even with no Staffing and Scheduling License - there should be no data that needs to be updated.

Processing Guidelines:

A message displays the name of the processes running, with an indication of their progress (% complete). If there are multiple tasks running for a step, such as Create Payroll Interface, then the tasks are separated by line breaks. This message is shown in the following places:
- A tooltip on the Status column of the Close Pay Period Job List
- An informational message at the at the top of the Close Pay Period Wizard
- A tooltip on the hourglass icon in the row of the running step
