Back Out and Purge Workforce Compensation Data Processes

To reverse the transfer of data from the workforce compensation plan to HR, you run the Back Out Workforce Compensation Data process. For example, you run the process to remove transferred element and salary data so that you can transfer newer changes for processing. When you run the process, you can do a full back out to reverse all of data transfers for the specified plan and cycle. You also do a full back out to reverse all plan hierarchy synchronizations. Or you can reverse the data transferred by a specific process. Various administrative reports that you access using the View Administrative Reports task include process IDs for just this purpose. To honor the work that plan managers put into creating models, you can specify that the back out process preserve any plan models.

To remove unneeded data from previous cycles for the specified plan, you run the Purge Workforce Compensation Data process. You can select a specific plan and cycle. Or you can provide an HR data extraction date range. The process purges the data from all plans with HR data extraction dates on or during the process start and end dates. After you set the range, the process tells you how many cycles it will purge.

The Back Out Workforce Compensation Cycle process reverts any Grade Step changes that are done as a part of Transfer Workforce Compensation Data to HR process.
