Plan Checks Stage

This stage checks the information in the database (imported data and manually entered information) against certain ”business rules” that myAAP needs to enforce in order to produce accurate reports and plans.

To run plan checks, click the Run Business Rule Checks button at the top of the screen.  If violations exist, they will be listed in the top section of the screen, along with the criticality of the violation (critical, required, or optional).  To view details of a violation, click on the violation and the details will be listed in the bottom section of the screen.  The right side of the screen will show the Rule Description and Problem Resolution for the selected violation.

Critical Violations

These are violations which must be fixed in order for myAAP to accurately calculate the statistics for your reports.

• Jobs without Census Codes - Each job title must be assigned at least one census code unless the job has no employees.
• Invalid Census Code Weighting - The total weight of all census codes assigned to any one job must equal 100%.
• Jobs without Employees - Each job must be assigned to at least one employee.
• Jobs without Job Groups - Each job must be assigned to a job group.
• Job Groups without Labor Areas - Each job group must have at least one labor area (local or reasonable) assigned to it.
• Job Groups without Employees - All job groups must include at least one job that has current employees.
• Census Codes without Labor Data - There is no census data for the specified census code in the location shown in the error.  To fix, modify the labor area to remove the location from the labor area and assign it to the affected job groups, or use a different census code for the job code listed.
• Labor Areas assigned twice to a Job Group - A single labor area may be assigned to a job group only once, as either local or reasonable.  In other words, the same labor area cannot be assigned to a single job group’s local and reasonable node.
• Invalid Labor Area Weighting - The total weight of all labor areas assigned to a job group must total 100%.
• Invalid Feeder Weighting - The total weight of all feeders assigned to a job group must equal 100%.
• Feeders without Employees - All jobs or job groups used as feeders must contain employees.
• Invalid Availability Weighting - The total weight of all factors assigned to a job group must equal 100% on the final availability screen.
• Feeders Added Up - The total weight of all feeders assigned to a job group must equal 100%.

Required Violations

These are violations which affect what is displayed on some of your reports, particularly things that are required for a compliant AAP.

• Blank Job Titles - All job codes must have a corresponding job title.
• Blank Job Group Names - All job group codes must have a corresponding job group name.
• Salaries Less Than or Equal to $0 - All salaries must be greater than $0.
• Invalid Additional Availability Weighting - The total weight of all additional availability factors must equal 100%.
• Full Final Availabilities with Zero Individual Final Availabilities - All final availabilities for job groups equal to 100% cannot have a final availability weight of 0% within it.

Optional

These are violations which we recommend you fix for the most accurate reporting, but will not affect the calculations.

• Jobs without EEO Codes - All jobs should be assigned an EEO category.
• No Pay Grade Information - If you wish to use pay grades in certain reports, pay grade information should be imported with the employee file.
