Required Practice Transactions

All users requesting Entry/Update access are required to complete all exercises for both Staff and Academic transactions as listed in the chart below. Assistance can be found in the Actions section of the PPS Users Guide.

Because these practice transactions are reviewed for accuracy when a group requests access to update in the production region, it is strongly recommended that each trainee closely follow the instructions in the guide for each transaction to ensure a "successful" practice. Please note - practices are reviewed to determine the user's understanding of policy. Therefore, it is critical that REAL data and codes be used (i.e. Correct Salary and Title Codes, Duration of Appointment, Next Salary Review Date and Type). The only 'made-up' data would be the employee's personal information (i.e. name, SSN, address).

After completion of all practice transactions:

Trainee notifies their supervisor they have completed the exercises
Supervisor submits PPS Departmental Organizational Structure Form if not already submitted, and notifies the PPS Administrative Assistant that exercises are complete
Central Offices complete their review of all PANs
PPS Adminstrative Group and PPS Security Committee review and approve trainee application
UCOP reviews application and provides Entry/Update access for user to PPS Administrative Assistant
New User is notified of approved status. If notification is not received within two weeks from when the Supervisor notifies the PPS Administrative Assistant that exercises are completed, the Supervisor should contact the PPS Adminstrative Assistant
