Follow these steps if the element is set up to support additional entries.

  2. Complete the element entry and then click Submit.

  3. Set your effective date to the day the entry should end.

  4. Click Edit and then select End Date.

Let's consider this scenario. Create these two elements with Process separately and pay with other earnings.

  • Vacation Retro 5th Jan

  • Vacation Retro 6th Jan

Give element entries with amounts -100 on 5th Jan and + 100 on 6th Jan. The payroll run fails on the first entry with a negative net error.

As a workaround, on the element entry page, create an Override element entry Vacation Retro 6th Jan 0, and run the payroll.
