Global Uptake: Context Validation

This feature represents the addition of validation rules on values entered for the contexts in the cases of the following:

  • Balance initialization
  • Balance adjustments
  • Calculation card (CIR) components

For example, for many Canadian balances, the context of Province is required when processing a balance initialization. If the Province is not populated at that time, year-end reporting will be incorrect.

In general, the new validations performed are:

  • TRU/CBID combination – represents an advanced validation to check the combination of the Tax Reporting Unit and the Calculation Component (CBID) is valid for the person
  • Invalid values – represents a validation to check the context is populated with a valid value

Note: This is only applicable when using HDL. The UI only presents LOVs with valid data for context values.

Specifically, the validations that were added for each case are:

  • Balance Adjustment
    • Payroll
    • Tax Reporting Unit
    • Calculation Component (CBID)
    • Province
    • Third-Party Payee
    • Year-End Form
  • Balance Initialization
    • Payroll
    • Tax Reporting Unit
    • Province
    • Third-Party Payee
    • Year-End Form
  • Employee Card Component (Tax Credit Information)
    • Tax Reporting Unit
    • Province
  • Employee Card Component (Reporting Information)
    • Tax Reporting Unit
    • Payroll
  • Organization Card Component (Calculation Rules for Tax Reporting and Payroll Statutory Unit)
    • Province

This feature provides context validation of data and allows customers to address errors proactively instead of having to correct data at a later time, such as year-end.
