Balance Feeds for the US

Balance feeds define the source of the payroll calculation results that contribute to a balance.

You can define payroll balance feeds in these ways.

How you can define them	What they do
Balance feeds by element	The Elements task automatically establishes a feed to a new element's balance. If you want to feed this element to other balances, use the Balance Definitions task. For each balance feed you define, all input values must use the same unit of measure. For example, don't mix money and hours in the same balance feed.
Balance feeds by classification	You can establish balance feeds from: Primary element classifications Secondary element classifications Subclassifications These feeds use the input value that has the special purpose set to Primary Output Value. The unit of measure of this input value must match the unit of measure of the balance. If you add a primary classification as a balance feed, you can't use any of its child secondary classifications or subclassifications as feeds. For example, if you use the Supplemental Earnings primary classification as a balance feed, you can't also 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. Select one element for each level of the employment hierarchy associated with a dimension that you want to initialize.

Balance feeds for year-end processing	Before you start the end-of-year processing, you must review the balances required for year-end reporting to generate the year-end forms. If required, perform balance adjustments and configure balance feeds. You must manually configure feeds for some of the balances reported on the year-end forms. For further info, see Administering US End-of-Year Processing on the Help Center.
