3679060 - Deprecation of "One Time Deduction User" and the "One Time Deduction Item" MDF Objects - Employee Central

Symptom

In 2H 2025 we started the journey to deprecate "One Time Deduction User" and the "One Time Deduction Item" MDF Objects. Find below more details for this process:

Cause

Our goal is for the customers to have all their entire one time deduction related business logic, such as custom fields, associations or business rules in only one object: One Time Deduction. 

The deprecation won’t take effect permanently until the 1H 2027, so customers will have some time to adjust to the changes. If there are any customization in the deprecated objects, we recommend that everything is moved to the One Time Deduction MDF object before the Deleted date, as to avoid major issues by then.
