Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to data migration and, more particularly, to a system and method for post migration payroll reconciliation. The method of migrating data includes: receiving, by a computer system, projected input codes of a first system for use by a payroll engine; receiving, by the computer system, actual input codes of a second system for use by the payroll engine; comparing, by the computer system, the projected input codes to the actual input codes to determine misalignment of input codes between the first system and the second system; and mapping the misaligned projected input codes to the actual input codes.

Core Innovation

The invention relates to migration payroll reconciliation that proactively reconciles HR-to-payroll migration by comparing projected input codes against actual input codes used by a second system to instruct an application for one or more actions related to payroll processing. A computer system receives projected input codes including instructions of a first system that are set to be migrated to a second system and receives, from the second system, a transmission that includes actual input codes used by the second system.

The computer system compares the projected input codes to the actual input codes, detects differences between the projected input codes and the actual input codes, and converts the projected input codes of the first system to the actual input codes of the second system prior to the second system executing one or more instructions. The system provides the actual input codes converted from the projected input codes of the first system to the second system instead of the projected input codes so the second system performs the payroll-related actions.

The disclosure emphasizes reconciling misalignment at the input-code level to reduce reactive payroll-output forensics. In this reconciliation workflow, the system identifies and matches projected input code sequences to actual input codes, iteratively compares projected versus actual codes, correlates input data associated with the projected codes to aligned codes, and performs certification/validation of new system input-code cleanliness so the second system executes actions with aligned input codes.

Claims Coverage

The independent claims cover a migration workflow and corresponding program product/system architecture for reconciling projected input codes from a first system with actual input codes from a second system before the second system executes payroll-related actions. Across the independent claims, four main inventive aspects appear: receiving projected input codes for migration, receiving actual input codes from the second system, comparing and detecting differences, and converting projected input codes to actual input codes for use by the second system.

Migrating projected input codes to actual input codes

Receiving projected input codes including instructions of a first system that cause an application to perform one or more actions related to payroll processing, and determining that the projected input codes of the first system are set to be migrated to a second system.

Receiving actual input codes from the second system

Receiving, from the second system, a transmission that includes actual input codes used by the second system to instruct the application to perform the one or more actions.

Comparing projected input codes to actual input codes and detecting differences

Comparing, responsive to receiving the actual input codes, the projected input codes to the actual input codes, and detecting differences between the projected input codes and the actual input codes responsive to the comparison.

Converting projected input codes prior to execution

Converting, prior to the second system executing one or more instructions, the projected input codes of the first system to the actual input codes of the second system such that the second system executes one or more second instructions to cause the second system to perform the one or more actions.

Providing converted actual input codes instead of projected input codes

Providing the actual input codes of the second system, converted from the projected input codes of the first system, to the second system to cause the second system to perform the one or more actions, wherein the actual input codes are provided to the second system instead of the projected input codes.

Computer-readable program instructions for the migration workflow

Providing program instructions executable to receive projected input codes, determine migration to a second system, receive actual input codes from the second system, compare projected to actual input codes, detect differences, convert the projected input codes to the actual input codes prior to execution, and provide the converted actual input codes to the second system instead of the projected input codes.

Processor and system implementing the migration support

A system comprising a processor, memory, one or more storage media, and program instructions executable to receive projected input codes, determine migration to a second system, receive actual input codes, compare and detect differences, convert the projected input codes to actual input codes prior to execution, and provide converted actual input codes to the second system instead of projected input codes.

Across the independent claims, the core claim coverage centers on reconciling payroll migration misalignment by comparing projected input codes from a first system with transmitted actual input codes from a second system, detecting differences, and converting the projected codes to actual codes before the second system executes, with the converted actual codes provided to the second system to drive the payroll-related actions.

Stated Advantages

Reducing reactive payroll-output forensics by validating at the input/code level.

Documented Applications

Migration of payroll-related data/actions when reconciling HR-to-payroll migration by aligning projected input codes from a first system with actual input codes used by a second system.
