Using Triggers in Brazil

Triggers are used to detect online changes to data that should result in some type of system action. Examples of common data changes that might use triggers include a new employee hire or a change in pay rate.

Global Payroll provides three types of triggers:

• Iterative − tells the system to process an employee for the current period.

• Segmentation − tells the system to segment a period or element.

• Retro − tells the system to perform retro processing.

Note:

You must first set up an iterative trigger to tell the system when an event occurs, it should perform the desired action. After that, you can use a trigger to process an employee, perform segmentation, or perform retro processing.

Global Payroll for Brazil delivers some triggers; however, you can alter the delivered triggers and add or delete trigger setups depending on your business needs.
