Triggers

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 that 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 Mexico delivers some triggers; however, you can alter these depending on your business needs.

Segmentation Triggers with Earning and Deduction Assignments

In Global Payroll you can define segmentation triggers only for effective dated records, with one exception: you can define segmentation triggers for the begin and end dated earning and deduction assignment record GP_PYE_OVRD. This exception enables you to assign an earning or deduction to a payee on the Element Assignment by Payee (GP_ED_PYE) or Payee Assignment by Element (GP_ED_ELEM) components, and segment (and prorate) the element when the assignment begin date comes after the pay period begin date, and/or the assignment end date comes before the period end date.
