Generate Baseline Extract

Run the Global Payroll Interface in Baseline Only mode to generate a full baseline extract record without producing any output file. The Global Payroll Interface uses this baseline record for comparison of attributes in the next incremental run.

You can generate a baseline extract when:

• HCM Cloud and the third-party payroll application are in sync, and you don't want to send the interface output file to the payroll application.

• You want to report additional attributes that were part of a delivered enhancement with other changes in the next incremental run.

Here's how you perform baseline extraction:

1. On the Home page, click the Submit a Flow quick action under the My Client Groups tab.

2. Select the Legislative Data Group from the list of values.

3. Search for and select the payroll interface flow name based on the current interface you are using.

4. Provide these values on the Submit a Payroll Flow page:

   Parameters	What You Do
   Payroll Flow	Enter a meaningful name.
   Changes Only	Select All Attributes.
   Object Group	Select the object group. If multiple groups exist for regular extractions, you must perform baseline extraction for all the groups.
   Payroll	Select the payroll. If multiple groups exist for regular extractions, you must perform baseline extraction for all the groups.
   Process Start Date	Specify the same start date as mentioned in the last completed regular run.
   Process End Date	Specify the same end date as mentioned in the last completed regular run.
   Instance Name	Select a value.
   Process Configuration Group	Select the required process configuration group.
   Baseline Only	Select Yes.

5. Ensure that the process completes successfully.
