Configure Payroll Interface Properties

Use the Configure Payroll Interface Properties task under Data Exchange Configurations on the Data Exchange page to consolidate additional configurations for a delivered payroll interface. These additional configurations are delivered using the existing infrastructure components like lookups, user defined tables, profile options, and so on.

For example, using the additional configurations you can specify the offset start date and end date parameters at the payroll level for the ADP Global Payroll Interface. You can use these dates to schedule a payroll interface process.

The delivered interfaces you can see on the Configure Payroll Interface Properties page include:

• ADP Workforce Now

• Global Payroll Interface

• ADP Global Payroll Interface

Follow these steps to configure payroll interface properties:

• On the Home page, click the Data Exchange quick action under the My Client Groups tab.

• Select Configure Payroll Interface Properties under Data Exchange Configurations on the Data Exchange page.

• Select the required payroll interface and the page displays a list of configurations or properties specific to the selected payroll interface. The payroll interface properties are listed under separate sections and for each attribute within a section, you can see a default value if seeded in the application. You can override the default value if you have the permissions to override the default values.

  For example, if you have selected the ADP Global Payroll Interface, you can provide values for Client Number or Region among other fields under the File Name Components to report extension of termination during a global transfer.

Context of the Interface Properties:

Properties specific to an interface are logically associated with one of the three levels of Enterprise, Legislative Data Group (LDG) or Payroll levels. When you open an interface page, the page allows you to select either an LDG or a Payroll or you can leave both these fields empty and blank.

This association is internally determined based on the level at which property value configuration is supported. For example, rules for seniority in the interface is supported at the LDG level; process start, and end date offsets are supported at the payroll level. These levels are optional for configuration, you can either select them if required or leave them blank. When left blank, the default value of ‘All’ is applicable, meaning that its applicable to all the levels, as given in this table:

Level Selection	Result
Leave the LDG and Payroll fields blank	You can only configure properties that are associated at the Enterprise level. The page displays properties associated with an LDG or Payroll as view-only and not editable. Values configured at the Enterprise level apply to all LDGs, Payrolls, and Legal Employers within the Enterprise.
Select an LDG	You can only configure properties that are associated with the selected LDG as the default level. You can configure properties that are associated at the Enterprise level and are supported for override at LDG level. Values configured at the LDG level apply to all payrolls and legal employers associated with the selected LDG.
Select a Legislative Data Group and Payroll	You can only configure properties that are associated with the selected LDG as the default level. You can configure properties that are associated at the LDG level and are supported for override at the payroll level. Values configured at the payroll level apply to the selected LDG, payroll and employees mapped to the selected payroll under all legal employers associated with the selected LDG.

Date Effectivity:

Date effective value configuration isn’t supported. Configured values take effect immediately on successful submission. Any changes to the value of properties overwrites the previous value and hence there is always only one instance of a property value for the applicable context combination.

Access and Permissions to the Interface Page:

When you select an interface on the Configure Payroll Interface Properties page, use the Actions (ellipses) against the name of the interface to choose an access mode. You can open the page in any of the access modes depending on your role and access permissions. The various modes that you can access the page and the actions you can perform are as given in this table.

Access Mode	Actions that you can perform
Edit	You can create, update, or override an attribute or property value on the page.
View	The page displays all seeded and configured values in read-only mode and the submit action is disabled. You can only view the values on the page.
Create	Select a value for the LDG or Payroll. The page enables property values depending on the context parameters you select and the level at which the property is associated. For example, a property that is associated with LDG is enabled only when you have selected an LDG context. A property that is associated at the Enterprise level isn’t enabled at LDG level. Submit is enabled. The page displays seeded values of properties that don’t support value change or defined fast formulas as read-only. The page displays seeded values of properties that support value change or defined fast formulas as editable values. When you select a formula at LDG level, the value is set at LDG level. You can select or specify formulas for various LDGs.
Update	Select a value for the LDG or Payroll. The page displays all properties associated with the interface with their default and configured values. The page displays properties as editable depending on the level at which they are associated, and the contexts you select. Update the values already configured and save the changed values.
Override	Select a value for the LDG or Payroll. The page displays all properties associated with the interface with their default and configured values. If a property is associated with a default and is supported at an optional level as well, the value is editable at the optional level also, provided you select the optional context when you open the page. In this case you can configure the value at the optional level also and this is treated as an override. The value already configured in the default level is removed and the values you configure in the optional level are created. The optional level is generally at a lower level than the default level, and you must configure values for all the lower level optional contexts. For example, when you override the value configured at the LDG level, you should ensure that values are configured for all payrolls.
Reset	You can’t select a value for the LDG or Payroll, both fields are disabled for selection. When you select the Reset option. a warning message displays asking you for confirmation to Reset. After you confirm, all values configured for the selected payroll interface are deleted and the values as in default stage are restored. This is to support any errors made in the configuration.

When you complete and submit the configurations, the application saves the values in new tables created for this instance of the user interface. For all subsequent references to these property values, these tables are used instead of the current references to lookup types or user defined tables.
