Bonus Code File and Bonus History File Setup

1. Use the Elements task to create your Irregular Earnings bonus elements and create element eligibility.
2. Input values Pay Value and Amount are created. The Pay Value (or any other Input value that is the SPECIAL_OUTPUT reserved input value type) is used to report the bonus amount. The Amount field is ignored.
3. Create a Date Earned input value to report a bonus earned date that is different to the run results date. Enter the details as shown:

   User-Defined Input Value: Date Earned
