For categorization, Activate manages codes in “clusters.“ It groups together codes with the same code name, description, and country, but with different Payroll Identifiers, as a single cluster in the Payroll wizards.
Scenario:
-
During the initial installation of deductions, you installed a deduction with a Payroll Identifier value of PID1 and categorized the deduction as “pre tax.”
-
During the “second installation,” you used the Add More feature to add a deduction with the same codename, description, and country, but with a Payroll Identifier value of PID2 and it was categorized it as “post tax.”
-
Rollback the system to before the first installation.
Outcome:
Because the two deduction codes have a conflicting categorization, they can’t be clustered and must be recategorized. Activate shows a page explaining what has happened, and you return to the start of the Payroll Deduction Codes wizard to recategorize the cluster. You must decide whether this cluster is pre or post tax.
This situation applies to any kind of categorization of clusters of codes. You have to adjust only clusters that are invalid due to a Rollback. All other previous work remains as is. Although you’re required to complete all pages of the wizard, some pages might not require that decisions be made and you can click Next to move forward quickly.
