Personnel Input and Edit System (PINE)
As previously mentioned, all payroll/personnel and position data is edited in PINE. PINE edits data released from EPIC, PMSO, FESI, and EmpowHR before it is applied to the PPS database and compares the employee's database record to the data being entered. PINE processes personnel actions and payroll transactions Monday through Friday of each week and on the first Saturday of the pay period, regardless of the effective pay period.
Payroll/personnel transactions that pass PINE edits with a current or prior effective pay period are sent to the Personnel Processing System (PEPL) to update the PPS database.
Payroll/personnel transactions that pass the PINE edits and have future effective dates are sent to the future file. These transactions remain in future file until the processing of the effective pay period. During the effective pay period these transactions are re-edited in PINE and either applied to the PPS database or sent to suspense.
Personnel actions and payroll transactions that do not pass PINE edits (regardless of the effective pay period) are placed in suspense, and a PINE message appears on the Listing of Personnel Error Messages Report. Customers should refer to this report and access one of the following systems to correct any discrepancy(ies):
- EPIC
- EmpowHR
- FESI
Suspense reports are available through the following systems:
- EPIC
- Payroll/Personnel Report Generator System (CULPRPT)
- Table Management Inquiry,Table 022, Payroll/Personnel Document Report
The suspense reports provide the actual errors that prevent documents from applying to the PPS database as well as other suspense-related information. The PINE Edit Subsystem Edit Messages procedure is documentation that should be used when correcting PINE edits. See the PINE procedure manual located under the HR and Payroll Processing publication category on the Publications page of the NFC web site.
