Filling Out User Field Sets

When an earning/deduction has user fields, the user field values normally come from earning/deduction assignments or positive input entries. Before the system resolves the element, it populates the user fields based on the values entered on the positive input or element assignment pages.

However, if user field values are not defined on the element assignment or positive input pages, the system can retrieve the values from other sources. For example, these values can come from other supporting element overrides (calendar level overrides, or pay group overrides), as well as arrays, formulas, and brackets.

If an earning or deduction with user fields is sliced or segmented, the user fields are populated by slice or segment and may differ from one slice or segment to another.
