Change Pay Period does not change the pay run transaction date
Date: 29/11/2021
Status: Under investigation
Reference: ADV-33593
Issue
When using the Change Pay Period action - this action does not update the entitlement movement data that was created when the pay was originally opened and completed. This impacts reporting and makes it hard to reconcile entitlement movements.
Workaround
The recommended workaround is:
-
Adjust the affected pay for the impacted employees.
-
Make no changes to the employees’ pay or leave details in the adjusted pay.
-
Complete the adjusted pay.
Completing the adjusted pay forces the entitlement movements to be recalculated using the correct pay-period dates. Please then review the affected employees’ entitlement history and balances to confirm the rollover and leave movements are now correct. I tested the above workaround in the sandbox and confirmed that after adjusting the pay, the entitlements now have the correct data.
To mitigate the issue:
Please avoid using Change Pay Period on any further pays where entitlement movements are involved. If the pay dates are incorrect, the preferred option is to cancel the pay and create it again with the correct dates from the outset
