How You Roll Back Element Entry with Costing information

You can only roll back new element entries with costing information that you loaded using the Element Entry with Costing object. To roll back, there's an additional constraint that there should be no changes made to the object since it was created.

When you submit roll back, all records that were created successfully are rolled back. You can't roll back individual records. If HCM Data Loader identifies that an element entry or costing information has been updated, the rollback fails for that record.

You can roll back element entries with costing information by using payroll flows or the Import and Load Data task.

Use Payroll Flow to Roll Back Entries

If you used payroll flows to load an element entry with costing file, then you can roll it back using the flow's rollback feature. Use the Initiate Data Loader flow pattern to roll back element entries with costing that you uploaded using the flow pattern.

These steps describe how you initiate a payroll flow to upload element entries.

  1. Create the ElementEntryWithCosting.dat file to load your element entries with costing. Also, you must compress it to a file name of your choice.
  2. Using the File Import and Export task, upload the dat file to the Oracle Web Center Content Server. Enter the account as hcm/dataloader/import. Don't forget to make a note of the Content ID.
  3. From the Checklist or Data Exchange work area, you submit the Initiate Data Loader flow to load and submit the element entries data set. When submitting the flow, provide the Content ID from the previous step.

    To roll back your element entry with costing data, on the Payroll Flow page, select the Initiate Data Loader flow. Select Mark as Incomplete from the Actions menu. In the Warning dialog box, click Continue. The application rolls back the newly created element entries.

Use Import and Load Data Task to Roll Back Entries

  1. Navigate to the Data Exchange area.
  2. Select Import and Load Data.
  3. Search for and select the data set with the element entries with costing to roll back.
  4. In the Business Object table, select the Element Entry with Costing row.
  5. Click Submit on the table toolbar.
  6. On the Schedule Request dialog box page, Action field, select Roll Back.
  7. Click Submit.
    Note:
    • You need to submit rollbacks with the same number of threads as the initial load, to avoid delays.
    • You can initiate rollbacks with higher number of threads from the Data Exchange UI at the Business Object level, in the reverse order sequentially – CostAccount, CostInfo and ElementEntry.
