Defining Components of a Calculation Rule When an Element Has Multiple Resolutions

When you create an earning or deduction , you can specify that you want to define the amount or a component of the element's calculation rule at the payee level. If you do this, you must enter the amount or the component value on the element assignment or positive input pages. Otherwise, the system will not resolve the element.

However, in the case of elements that resolve multiple time, you need to consider the following before requiring payee level inputs:

• When you set up multiple resolutions that require payee level inputs, the system will not process the element until an amount or the component values are defined for a payee.

• If you specify payee level inputs, and an element has driver accumulator instances, the system only processes the element if there is an assignment or positive input entry with matching user field values (the system ignores driver accumulator instances without a matching positive input or element assignment entry that can provide the value of the missing components). This could result in the element not being processed.
