      ...
      …

   4. Delete these lines from configuration.
   5. Search for HRIS Element references using keyword ‘<hris-element-ref refid="directDeposit">’
   6. You will the find the configuration:
       <hris-element-ref refid="directDeposit">
      …
      …
      </ hris-element-ref >
   7. Delete these lines from configuration.
5. Repeat Step 4 for all HRIS elements mentioned in the table. (Note: Some of the HRIS elements mentioned may not be present in data model, therefore you can ignore those)
6. If after deletion your configurations for hris-sync-mapping, edit-template, my-filter and dg-filter does not have any child elements. Please ensure to remove these empty configurations. Example:
    <hris-sync-mappings>
   </hris-sync-mappings>
7. Save the configuration and upload it.
8. Verify that ‘Synchronise Business Configuration’ Job is completed successfully.

      2. Filter by the job ‘Synchronise Business Configuration’.

9. How to verify deletion of deprecated HRIS Element configuration?
   If you had the HRIS Element ‘directDeposit’ configuration in Manage Business Configuration, it will be deleted after the upload of corrected succession data model.
   

Note:

• The deprecated HRIS elements, other than 'directDeposit' will not be shown in Manage Business Configuration (BCUI), but only available in the data model. Therefore, to remove these deprecated HRIS elements from the data model, please reach out to your Implementation Partner.

• If the directDeposit is still showing in BCUI, please check in provisioning > Company settings if Enable new Payment Information switch is enabled. If this is the case, directDeposit cannot be deleted.

  As a workaround: Please turn off of the switch and run the Succession Data Model upload and turn the switch back on in Provisioning
