You have a requirement to stop the new entries from being created for an element...

In Oracle Payroll Cloud, to prevent new entries for an element while allowing existing entries to continue processing, you can modify the element definition by setting aneffective dateand selecting the"Closed for entry"check box (Option D). This action ensures that no new element entries can be created after the specified date, but existing entries remain active and processable in payroll runs. Option A is incorrect because this requirement is achievable. Option B (end-dating the element) stops all processing, including existing entries, which does not meet therequirement. Option C (deleting and re-creating) is unnecessary and disrupts continuity. Oracle documentation confirms that "Closed for entry" is the intended mechanism for this scenario.
