HRMS:PTO : Special Holiday Accruals

Question

Hell Gurus,
We have a Accrual Special Holiday Setup which will give all the employees 32 hours at the anniversary date. If the Employee is a new hire it will be prorated.
This is working as expected. The Users have the ability to add the Special Holidays by adding a adhoc Special Holiday Element at the element entries.
This will enable the Employee to take the special holiday prior to actual accrual. This adhoc special holiday hours are added to the Accrual Plan.
If the user enters more element entries by using the element entry form, the employee is getting more special holidays that he is entitled.
I have added the Annual Rate,ceiling to the accrual Plan. In spite of that its allowing to accumulate more than what the employee is entitled.
I want know if anybody has this problem and the steps to correct it.
Thanks,
A

Hi,
I think the better design for this requirment would have been to handle it as part of the accrual formula rather than giving the option to user to add an element entry.
But in you case if the logis is already based on element entry then you can write a simple form personalization on element entry winow which checks if there is alreay an element entry existing in a particular calander year and throws an error. In this way you would be able to restrict the user from making multiple entries for that element.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sanjay
