Web ROE Finalization Process

The Web ROE Finalization Process allows a means of finalizing Preliminary ROE that were printed using the Web ROE system. This process will only process preliminary ROE with the selected Web ROE export file name attached. All ROE rejected by HRDC must be rejected through the Preliminary ROE Changes before running this process.

The HRDC Web ROE system now offers an optional ROE Import XML file. This file will contain the actual ROE number assigned to each employees ROE when the ROEs were printed. This Web ROE Finalization process allows you to finalize your Web ROEs using the Import XML file or without, as before. On the HRDC web site, after you have submitted your bulk transfer, you view and click to select your ROE file. This screen includes a bottom IMPORT ALL. When you click on the IMPORT ALL, the XML import file is generated, and the screen shows Download Import ROE File: Import-########YYYYMMDD.xml. Click on the file name will allow you to save this file to your own PC, please note the file name. Put this IMPORT########-YYYYMMDD.XML file in the directory with your CCCC_XML_######.BLK export file using FTP or a share disk. This would be in the directory pointed to by either SRB$EXPORT or SRB$OPSROE. Please note the actual directory where your Web ROE export file is created is listed on the top of the report when the Web ROE export process is run.

The ROE Import XML file contains the employee's number, SIN, ROE number if applicable (has been processed and thus assigned a ROE number), First day worked, Last Day Paid, Final Pay End date and total Insurable Earnings. When the Import file is processed, all these fields must match for the Preliminary ROE to be selected for Finalization. ROEs rejected for a mismatch are reported along with the reason for the mismatch.

When run in final mode, the ROE Date on the employee's Pay master screen will be updated and the Web ROE export file will be deleted.
