Generating Multiple Resolutions Using Positive Input
To initiate multiple resolutions of an element using positive input:
Define the element with an override level of Payee and Positive Input.
Do this on the Element Name page for the earning or deduction.
Enter positive input for the payee and the element using the Action Type of Additional or Resolve to Zero, or define multiple positive input rows with an Action Type of Override or Additional.
Do this on the Positive Input page.
Example 1: Using Positive Input Additional Instances to Generate Multiple Resolutions
When you enter additional positive input for an element, the system resolves the element once using the element level definition (or if there are overrides for the element, using the override values), and resolves it again using the additional positive input values. For example, if you define an earning as a flat amount with a value of 1000 EUR at the element level, and enter additional positive input of 500 EUR, Global Payroll resolves the element once using the value of 1000 EUR, and again using a value of 500 EUR.
Example 2: Using Positive Input Override Instances to Generate Multiple Resolutions
If you create more than one positive input entry for an element using the Action Type of Override, the system assigns a different instance number to each entry and resolves them separately. For example, if you define an earning as a flat amount with a value of 100 USD at the element level, and enter two positive input overrides for the element for 200 USD, Global Payroll resolves each entry separately (200 USD + 200 USD), but does not resolve the earning using the element level definition (100 USD).
Example 3: Using Positive Input Resolve to Zero Instances to Generate Multiple Resolutions
If you enter a positive input override as well as a resolve to zero instance, the system resolves the override as well as the resolve to zero row. For example, if you define a deduction as a flat amount with a value of 500 USD at the element level, and enter a positive input override for 200 USD as well as a resolve to zero row, the system resolves the element twice: once for 200 USD and again for 0 USD.
Note: The resolve to zero action does not affect other instances of positive input—it applies only to itself.
