Maintaining An Element

As I previously mention in my Blog 'Element are the Building Blocks for both HR Analysis and for the Payroll Processing'
For Element Creation refer http://ramesh-oraclehrms.blogspot.com/2007/07/element-definition.html

After you have defined and used the Element following are the list of changes that can be made:
  • You can Change the Required Input Value to Not-required
  • Alter the Sequence of the Input Value to be displayed in the Element Entry Screen
  • You can Change the Input Value Validation Rule minimum, Maximum, Lookup and Formula
  • Change your specification of which input values create Database Items. Note, however, you cannot remove Database Items if they are used in any formulas or QuickPaint reports.
  • You cannot remove existing input values or add new one if you have created any entries for the element

If you wish to delete the element or make any modification you have to follow the below process

  • Delete the element entries from all the assignment
  • Delete the Element Link
  • Date Track to the Element creation Date and modify the details needed or you Can delete the element in the current date itself.
