Absence accrual patterns can be exported and imported, enabling you to copy a complete pattern between orgs. Exported patterns are saved as .fs files which can then be imported without conversion.
An exported pattern contains the absence accrual rules associated with the pattern, and the absence accrual seniorities associated with the rules.
