Understanding Benefits Information Storage

From the Update Work File Data to Live Tables menu (G08BESS325), select Update Benefits Info to Live Tables.

You can use the Update Benefits Information to Live Tables program (R085524) to save self-service benefit changes. This program ensures that any eligibility rules are met and then saves changes from benefit workfiles to system live tables. If changes are made during open enrollment, you should run this program after the open enrollment period is closed. If changes are made because of life events, then you should run this program before each payroll is processed, so the system can save new DBA information to the appropriate files.

The Update Benefits Info to Live Tables program includes a review of self-service workflow. This program verifies that required workflow approvals are complete before the system processes employee benefit changes. The final step of this programs process saves information to history tables so that employees can look up changes by transaction number.

The system references these tables for this program:

  • Employee Master Information (F060116)

  • Available Plans and Plan Options by Employee Work Table (F085520W)

  • Dependent/Beneficiary X-Reference Work Table (F085536W)
