Upgrade Involuntary Deduction Elements for Canada

Use the Element Upgrade flow to upgrade your existing elements, created before Release 20D, whenever new features become available.

Run the Element Upgrade flow to apply new features to your involuntary deduction elements, such as legislative changes, new calculation value overrides, formula changes, calculation changes, and new balances.

Run this flow regularly, such as after each release.

Consider these points before you run the upgrade process:
  • Use this process only to upgrade your existing elements.
  • Run this process in a test environment first. This process performs changes to your elements that can't be rolled back. You must first thoroughly test your scenarios to ensure they perform correctly during payroll processing after the upgrade. Only after you have verified your scenarios in a test environment should you run this process in a production environment.
  • Regardless of whether you are in the test environment or production, run this process initially in Draft mode, and use the output report to review the changes to be made. Once your evaluation is complete, and you approve of the changes, perform it in Final mode to implement the element upgrade.
  • By default, when you enter the primary classification, this process runs against all eligible secondary classifications and elements. To limit the scope of the output, run it against specific secondary classification and element combinations.
