Increment Process Dates Automatically
The data reported in the ADP Workforce Now payroll interface depends on the extract Process Start Date and Process End Date, which is the extraction window submitted in the interface flow.
The recommended extraction window is 21 days. The process start date being 14 days before the current system date and process end date being 7 days after the current system date.
This might vary based on the implementation requirements.
When this extraction is scheduled to run daily, the start and end dates adjust dynamically based on the rolling system date.
Here's how you can set up configurations to enable the automatic increment of the window period:
-
Perform a search using the following criteria:
Name: Profile option for Payroll Interface.
Legislative Data Group: Specify the appropriate LDG name.Note: In implementations with multiple LDGs, the ADP Workforce Now Interface process must be run within the context of a specific LDG. Therefore, you can configure the schedule settings for each LDG based on its requirements. -
Click the table name in the search results.
-
Ensure that the effective as of date is set according to the specified requirement.
-
Click Edit, then click Next to open the User Defined Table Value page.
-
Click the “+” button in the user defined table value section.
Select ADP Workforce Now Payroll Interface Flow Parameter Start Date Offset.
-
Click OK.
-
In the Value field, enter the number of days by which you need to offset the start date. Typically, set this value to the number of days by which you want to move the start date from the date of execution. To move the start date into the past, prefix the value with a minus sign. To move the start date forward, prefix the value either with a + sign or don't provide any sign. For example, to set the start date 14 days into the past, set the value as -14. Repeat this step for ADP Workforce Now Payroll Interface Flow Parameter End Date Offset
-
Click Submit.
- Ensure that the end date is later than the start date. If not, the process will not return any records.
- If the offset values aren't set, the default value of 0 is applied to both. As a result, the start date and end date will default to the system date for daily extraction.
- When scheduling the extraction for the first time, leave the start date and end date parameters blank. In the process flow parameters, enter all other parameters required for the scheduled runs, except for the Process Start Date and Process End Date parameters.
