You use the Retro-Notifications report to identify any changes that have a retrospective effect for payrolls that you have already run. You can define the relevant types of change by setting up an event group to specify the changes. Follow these steps to set up the Retro-Notifications report:
Navigate to the Dynamic Triggers window.
Enable any dynamic triggers that the application generates. It is important to enable these triggers to ensure your payroll processing updates each database table correctly. The recommended minimum list of triggers to enable for the Retro-Notifications report is as follows:
| Table Name | Trigger Type |
|---|---|
| PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_VALUES_F | Update |
| PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | Update |
| PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | Insert |
| PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | Delete |
Navigate to the Table Event Group window.
Enter a name for your Event Group, for example, Retro-Notification Events.
Select Retro as your event groups type.
Save your entries.
Select the events that will produce notification if retrospective changes occur. Specify the following information to identify the type of update and the database table to which it applies:
Update Type
Base Table Name
Column Name
For example:
| Update Type | Table | Column Name |
|---|---|---|
| DateTrack Correction | PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_VALUES_F | SCREEN_ENTRY_VALUE |
| DateTrack Update | PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | EFFECTIVE_START_DATE |
| DateTrack Update | PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | EFFECTIVE_END_DATE |
| DateTrack End Date | PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | |
| DateTrack Insert | PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F | |
| DateTrack Delete | PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F |
Navigate to the Functional Area Maintenance window.
Query the Incident Register and ensure that you have triggers defined.
Decide whether to capture the triggers by legislation, business group, or payroll. Navigate to each tab to make your selection.
