Alerts for Payment Information: Full step-by-step guide
Introduction
In this blog, we would like to introduce the automatic alerts for payment information when employee fails to provide the payment details. In this process, we will not change the existing configuration such as rules, field details and permissions in the Payment information and details object.
The following steps has been taken in order to achieve this configuration
- Custom MDF objects (Lookup table)
- Business rules
- Integration Center – Job
Custom MDF Objects (Lookup table)
Create a custom MDF object > Configure Object definition > Create New
Basic Configurations in Object Definition
Code | PaymentInformationCheck |
Effective dating | None |
API Visibility | Editable |
Label | Payment Information Check |
You can use the default settings for the rest of the configuration.
Object Definition
Field details
ID | Date type | Visibility | Label |
externalCode | User | Read only | Employee |
externalName | Boolean | Read only | Is Payment Information exits? |
Field details
Security
The object will not be shown in employee profile, so we are not securing it.
Security
Business rules
Create the business rules: Configure Business Rules > Create New Rule > Rules for MDF Based Objects >
Rule 01
Base Object | Payment Information Check |
Purpose | Evaluate |
The below rule pulls employee payment information and brings it to the custom MDF (Payment Information Check)
This rule which fetch the Payment information exist data.
Rule 02
Base Object | Payment Information Check |
Purpose | Alert |
In this rule, the alerts will be triggered for employees without payment information.
- Alert Message
Manage data – Create New – Alert Message
- Workflow
Manage Organisation, Pay and Job Structure – Create New – Workflow
- Rule
The rule triggers alerts when an employee does not maintain payment information
Attach both the rules on the Payment Information Check object.
Attach these two rules on the Payment Information Check (Onsave)
Integration Center – Job
Create a Integration Center – Job using below steps:
Go to Integration Center ==> My Integrations ==> Create ==> More Integration Types
Step: 1 – Go to Integration Center
Step:2 Choose Integration Types
Step:3 Select the Source Object
Step:4 Options
Step:5 Configure Fields
Step:6 Destination Object
Step:7 Adding the Destination Object
Step: 8, 9 Mapping the Source and Destination Object
Step:10 Scheduling
Step: 11 Save and Exit

Conclusion
As a result of reading this blog, you will be able to create the non-effective dated MDF object and Integration Center job. You will be able to gain a better understanding of how to extract data from one MDF and post it to another MDF using the Integration Center job.
Using the same logic, you can also trigger alerts and notifications for portlets such as National ID information.

Special thanks to Vijey Aanath!
Good solution as ECP replication doesn’t fail due to lack of payment info portlet but later will have issue in bank file. Apart from pcc validation this will also be good way to minimise missing bank info.
Indeed! Thank you for your valuable feedback.
