Fast Formula – Absence

In our previous sections, we went over the basics of Fast Formula and how Compensation uses the Formula in
their products.
In this session, we will cover the Fast Formula usages in Absences.
Since we covered the Types, Input Values, Context and how to write a Fast Formula in detail in our previous
sections, we will not get into that again in these sections.
If you have any questions or doubts, please post us a message.
