Load Initial Balances

You need to load the initial balance values before you process the employee in a payroll. Use the HCM Data Loader to load balance values into batch views.

This process uses initial balance feed elements to initialize each balance.

1. Automatically creates the balance feed elements before processing the upload.
2. Validates the batch data.
3. Processes the batch to load the balance data.
4. Creates balance adjustments to set the required balance values.

Navigation: My Client Groups > Show More > Payroll > Submit a flow

1. Select the Legislative Data Group.
2. Search for and select the Load Initial Balances flow
3. Enter a payroll flow name and select the operation mode.
   Note: : If you've earlier ran the Validate operation mode, you must run this process in Transfer mode to transfer the batch.
4. Provide the batch name that you created in HCM Data Loader to validate and transfer data from the batches into payroll.
   Note: You can also use the process to roll back the batch if you need to correct and reprocess errors. This process creates date-effective balance entries, or adjustments to ensure that the balances are correct from the upload date.
5. After you load the balance values, submit the Load Initial Balances process.

Results:

The process validates the batch data, and then processes the batch to load the balance data. It then creates balance adjustments to set the required balance values.

For each balance to initialize, the Load Initial Balances process defines these elements automatically with Balance Initialization classification. And adds them to the balance as balance feeds.

Note: You can't initialize balances after the payroll is run for the employee. In such a case, you must roll back the payroll run or do a balance adjustment.
