Balance Feeds for Kuwait

You can feed payroll balances by element input values and run results from all the elements in a classification.

Balance Feeds by Element

Balance feeds by element indicate one or more element input values to add or subtract from a balance. For each balance feed, ensure that all input values use the same unit of measure. Let's say, for example, you must not mix money and hours in the same balance feed.

Remember that each element and input value can be the primary feed for only one balance. When you create an element, the element template creates this balance and feed automatically.

Let's say you specify that the element Basic Salary value feeds the Standard Earnings, an employee's salary run result feeds all Standard Earnings defined balances, provided the contexts associated with the run result match the contexts used by the defined balance.

Balance Feeds by Classification

Balance feeds defined by primary or secondary element classification or by a subclassification use the input value that has the special purpose of Primary Output Value. Ensure that the unit of measure of this input value matches the unit of measure of the balance.

If you add a primary classification as a balance feed, you can't add its children from the secondary or subclassifications. Suppose you use the Supplemental Earnings primary classification as a balance feed, you can't use any other children of Supplemental Earnings. Also, you can't use both secondary classifications and subclassifications in the same balance feed.

Balance Feeds for Initial Balance Loading

You can select elements in the Balance Initialization classification to feed a balance for initialization purposes only. Keep in mind that you must select one element for each level of the employment hierarchy associated with a dimension that you want to initialize.
