Goal

For International Payroll, have been using Retropay by Element.

In order to move to Retropay Enhanced, have run 'Generic Upgrade Mechansim'.

Program: Generic Upgrade Mechansim
Parameter:
Name = International Payroll: Upgrade Retro Elements

Post running this process, as expected retro components are created for the required parent elements with corresponding retro elements.

But the issue is; retro elements also have retro components created with the retro elements attached being themselves.

Example:

1. Before Generic Upgrade Mechanism:

Parent Element: XX Allowance
Recalculation Events: XX Retro Group
Retropay Element: XX Allowance Retro

Retro Element: XX Allowance Retro
Recalculation Events: blank
Retropay Element: blank

2. After Generic Upgrade Mechanism:

Parent Element: XX Allowance
Recalculation Events: XX Retro Group
Retro Components: Backdated changes (enabled)
Retropay Element: XX Allowance Retro

Retro Element: XX Allowance Retro
Recalculation Events: blank
Retro Components: Backdated changes (enabled)
Retropay Element: XX Allowance Retro

Note: Post generic upgrade, 'XX Allowance Retro' itself has retro element (with retro component) but unlike parent element there is no event group.
