6.0 Run the CSU_BAS_LIFE_BENPLAN_HISTORY Query

When to use this query

  • Query: CSU_BAS_LIFE_BENPLAN_HISTORY
  • Shows Life and AD/D benefit plan transactions entered on the Life and AD/D page in the Base Benefits module.
  • Applies to Plan Types:
    • 20 = Life
    • 23 = AD/D

What you can see

  • Benefit elections that were added to the Life and AD/D page.
  • Benefit elections that were deleted due to reprocessing or voiding of BAS events.
  • Audit OperID and Audit Stamp showing who made the change and when.

How it works

  • A row is inserted in the audit table whenever an add, delete, or change occurs on the Life and AD/D page.
  • Includes changes caused by reprocessing in the Ben Admin module.

Where to find the query

  • CSU Benefits Administrator Tile → Queries
  • Query Manager or Query Viewer (search by query name)
  • Access depends on your PeopleSoft security definition.

To open the CSU Benefits Administrator Tile in CHRS:

  1. From the Home landing page, click the drop-down arrow.
  2. Select CSU Administrator Home.

To access Query Manager or Query Viewer, click on the NavBar Icon

  • Menu > Reporting Tools > Query.

To run the query, enter the PeopleSoft Employee ID and the Life and AD/D Plan Type of 20 or 23.

Step 1: Click on the View Results button. If the ‘No matching values were found’ message appears, no values were found in the audit table for the employee, which means that the employee is either not enrolled in Life and AD/D and/or did not have a benefits transaction that wrote to the audit table.

Step 2: See the following example query output. Note that you can also download the query results to an Excel Spreadsheet and also a CSV Text File in addition to viewing online. Do not attempt to download the query results to an XML File.
