Hi everyone,
I am currently configuring Absence Management in IFS Cloud and I would like to understand whether the following scenario is supported by standard functionality.
Configuration:
- Absence Type 01 = Annual Leave
- Annual entitlement = 26 working days
- Absence Type 05 = Carry Over
- Annual Leave is configured with:
- Limit Defined = Yes
- Carry Forward = Yes
- Carry Forward Absence Type = 05 (Carry Over)
Business requirement:
At the end of each year, any remaining Annual Leave balance should be transferred to the Carry Over absence type.
The Carry Over balance should accumulate indefinitely over multiple years.
Example:
2026:
- Annual Leave entitlement = 26 days
- Employee uses 21 days
- Remaining balance = 5 days
Beginning of 2027:
- Carry Over balance = 5 days
- New Annual Leave entitlement = 26 days
2027:
- Employee does not use any Annual Leave
- Remaining Annual Leave balance at year end = 26 days
Beginning of 2028:
- Expected Carry Over balance = 31 days
(5 days carried over from 2026 + 26 days carried over from 2027)
My question is:
Does standard IFS Cloud support this type of unlimited cumulative carry-over, or does the carry-forward process only transfer the balance from the immediately preceding year?
If additional configuration is required, could you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
