Example of Deleting an Element

Use HCM Data Loader to delete elements. As you can't recover deleted records, you must take caution when deleting them.

The Payroll Manager of the Vision corp organization wants to create a regular earnings element for salary that recurs each payroll period. The Manager creates the element as nonrecurring instead of recurring. Recollect that after creating an element, they can't change the recurring entry attribute value from nonrecurring to recurring. So, they must delete the nonrecurring element that they wrongly created. Later, they can create the salary element afresh as recurring and with the same name.

This dat file deletes the element.
