Before performing a transfer, complete all payroll runs and then set the final close date according to your requirements.

Some fields and copy options are enabled by default and hidden on this process. You can use HCM Experience Design Studio to configure what fields are hidden or displayed according to user role. For example, you can choose to hide some of the payroll fields from the line manager and make them visible to the payroll manager. For further info, see HCM Experience Design Studio in the Help Center.
