Example of Deleting an Element Entry

Use HCM Data Loader to delete element entries. As you can't recover deleted records, you must take caution when deleting them. Don't attempt to delete an element entry and create an entry for the same element, assignment and date in the same file.

John Gorman is a worker in the Administration Department of Vision Corp. Assuming that he belongs to the Sales department, the company wrongly awards an incentive to him. Using HCM Data Loader, you can delete the sales incentive element entry.

Delete Element Entries Created With Element Entry With Costing Object

Use the Element Entry object to delete element entries that were created with the ElementEntrywithCosting object.

Let's consider this example:

Lisa Jones is posted to a project location where there is no company provided accommodation available. Hence, the company provided her a housing allowance of 2000 per pay period. This element entry is costed to the cost center Company Head Quarters for which the Cost Center value is 100 and Funding Source is 200. Using the ElementEntryWithCosting object, you create the element entry values with costing information. For more information on how to create the element entry values using the ElementEntryWithCosting object, refer to this topic.
