Roll Back Errors Rule for Payroll Flows

When there are partial errors in a payroll flow, the process goes into an error state, and you can't move ahead. You can continue with the flow only after you take corrective action on the tasks that are in error.

Use the Roll Back Errors option from the Actions menu within the checklist to roll back a process that has errors so that it proceeds to completion. The application automatically creates a payroll relationship group for the employees having errors and removes them from the process, so that the payroll proceeds to completion.

After reviewing and correcting the errors, you can use cross-flow interactions to bring back the employees into the parent flow or process them separately in a subsequent process.

Monitor the status of tasks within a flow from the checklist generated when you submit the flow. Let's look at the steps to roll back the errors generated in a payroll process:

  1. Within the checklist, select the task that has errors.

  2. Select the Roll Back Errors option from the Actions menu within the checklist. The application displays a message that the rollback action has started. The status of the process changes from 'Error' to 'Processing'.

  3. Click the Corrective Actions icon to open the Rollback Relationship Group window to view all the rollback actions that are initiated for your process.

    You can view these details on the Rollback Relationship Group window.
