<Example>
    

Payroll A and Payroll B have different start and end dates.

Payroll Name

01/JAN/2010 31/DEC/4712 Job B Payroll A

 

Element link for "Element X" -  "Link To All Payrolls"

 

<Steps>

1. Update the assignment payroll from "Payroll A" to "Payroll B" on 16/JAN/2015.
    (N) People > Enter and Maintain > (B) Assignment

Effective Start Date

 Effective End Date Job Payroll
01/JAN/2001 31/DEC/2009 Job A Payroll A
01/JAN/2010 15/JAN/2015 Job B Payroll A
16/JAN/2015 31/DEC/4712 Job B Payroll B

 

2. Create a non-recurring element entry.
    (N) People > Enter and Maintain > (B) Assignment > (B) Entries

Element Entry is created from 01/JAN/2015 even though effective date of the form is set to 16/JAN/2015.
This is because element link is created with "Link to All Payrolls".

 3. Delete assignment record that starts before the payroll change. (01/JAN/2010)
     Go back to the Assignment form, change the effective date to 31/DEC/2009,  click on delete button, and select "Next" option and save.

Assignment records now become as below.

 Effective End Date Job Payroll
01/JAN/2001 15/JAN/2015 Job A Payroll A
16/JAN/2015 31/DEC/4712 Job B Payroll B

 

Element entry that was assigned 'Payroll B' is also updated with the dates for "Payroll A" pay period "1 2015 Calendar Month".
