Enhancements to Add Input Values to Existing Elements Feature

Here's the enhancements that are included to improve your experience of adding new input values to existing elements, even if they have already been processed.

  • Input values and their associated entry values won't be rolled back if run results are created for the element after adding the new input value.
  • When an input value is deleted from an element, the corresponding element eligibility input value will also be deleted automatically, provided it isn't referenced in balance definitions, status processing rules, or other associated definitions.
  • The Run Feature Upgrade process now includes functionality to unlock elements under specific scenarios, based on the element name provided through the Additional Details parameter:
    • If the postprocess is rolled back but input values haven't been deleted through the HCM Data Loader (HDL), resulting in a locked element, you can use this feature as an alternative to HDL.
    • If a rollback fails and leaves the element locked, the process can now delete entry values and the newly created input values to resolve the locked status.
    • If an element is locked due to orphaned data for a newly added input value, this process can identify and address the issue.
  • When rolling back postprocessing for an element with no existing entries and a new input value added, the element won't be locked if there are no entry values.
  • Adding a new input value to an element without existing entries won't lock the element.

These enhancements aim to streamline payroll element maintenance, improve data integrity, and increase flexibility for payroll administrators. They let you streamline postprocessing and reduce unnecessary element locks, implement smarter rollback protection, automate cleanup of linked input values, and provide new options to unlock elements in specific scenarios.
