This article describes how to configure a client for the Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov definition used for 360 integration. Each client configuration will vary based on their plan specification and will need to be configured accordingly.
Configuring the UKG API with a Service Account
Before you can configure your client for the Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov, you will need to create a UKG Premier Integration. Please review the Configuring the UKG API with a Service account article.
Create a UKG Scheduled Deduction Report
detamoov uses a Scheduled Deductions saved report that is called through the UKG API. Each company will need to have this report created before the 360 integration can be configured. See the Create the Scheduled Deduction Report for 360 Retirement Integrations article for steps on how to create this report.
After the UKG Premier Integration has been activated on your account, please add the Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov to your account by following these steps.
Once the Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov has been added to your account, access the moovs section on the left side menu and click on the Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov.
Importance of the Memo field on the UKG Loan Deduction
When a loan deduction record is included in the feedback file from Empower, the Loan Number is required to map to the Memo field in UKG. This is important when an existing loan deduction is either modified or a request to end the loan is sent from Empower. If the Loan Number does not match the existing loan deduction's Memo field in UKG, a new loan deduction will be created instead of modifying or ending the existing loan deduction. If the loan deduction record creates a new loan deduction in UKG, the deduction will be created, but the Memo field will be blank.
In the event that no Loan Number is sent on a loan deduction record, the Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov will validate if the Loan Number sent from Empower exists and generate a notification email.
An example of the validation report generated when a loan deduction has no Loan Number:
This shows that the first record in the deduction feedback file is a 401k Loan and that no Loan ID was found for this record.
To edit the validate file step, click on the cog icon under the Action - Validate Files step on the left. Then toggle the "Use default parameters" off and enter in the email addresses you would like to receive the notification. If you would like to enter multiple email addresses, separate them with a comma. A Reply to email is also required in the event that a recipient of the notification replies to the email.
To save your parameters click on the Save Changes button.
The Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov provides a notification once the moov is complete with a summary of the deduction changes that were made in UKG. The notification can be sent to any email address you wish and can also be configured to send to multiple email addresses.
To edit the send file step, click on the cog icon under the Action - Send File step on the left. Then toggle the "Use default parameters" off and enter in the email addresses you would like to receive the notification. If you would like to enter multiple email addresses, separate them with a comma. A Reply to email is also required in the event that a recipient of the notification replies to the email.
Note: these settings apply to any client configuration you set up for this specific moov. You also have the ability to configure the send file step for each client configuration if you wish to add or remove email addresses per client.
To save your parameters click on the Save Changes button.
In the moov configuration section, click the Add button to add a new client to the moov.
Client/Entity - either select an existing client or click the + sign to create a new client.
Status - Set to Active
Expected Frequency - the client's payroll frequency
File Name Starts With - GQ19LONF.[your client's Empower Plan ID]
File Name Contains -
Note: make sure that the File Name Starts with field matches as this can cause issues pulling the Empower feedback file and updating UKG.
Click Next once you have completed the ID and source section.
To automate the 360 integration, configure the SFTP schedule. Click the SFTP banner under the Trigger - SFTP Pull Data Trigger step and click Add.
On the New SFTP Configuration section on the right, select the SFTP Pull option from the Premier Integration menu. Then select either "Every X weeks" or "On certain days of the month", depending on how often you would like detamoov to check for new deduction files. In the example below, we have set up a schedule to check for files every week on Fridays.
Click OK once you have created your SFTP configuration.
UKG Earnings List Transformation Override
detamoov has a default value of "401k Earnings" set as the Earning Lists sent to UKG. If your client's plan has a different value, you will need to create an override to set this value.
Note: The Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov contains 3 separate Transform steps. The following information relates to step 7 Action - Transform only.
To provide a transformation override, locate step 7 - Action Transform, expand the Transformation Overrides panel and click ADD.
Then select field 16: EE Amount Earnings List and click ADD OVERRIDE.
On the side panel that appears, replace "401k Earnings" with your Earnings List value and click OK.
If detamoov receives a Loan Goal Amount from Empower the GoalEnabled setting will automatically be set to "Y". If you do not want GoalEnabled to be set, a transformation override is required.
Note: The Empower Loans Feedback to UKG moov contains 3 separate Transform steps. The following information relates to step 7 Action - Transform only.

Configure the UKG Retirement 360 Step

On the side panel that appears, select your UKG API Premier Integration and enter in the following parameters:

You can also enter in one or more email addresses in the Error Messages Email. If left blank, all detamoov users on your account with administrator rights will receive emails if the UKG API import fails.
Click OK to complete the UKG Import configuration.
At the beginning of this article you configured the send file step for the moov to send a notification once the moov had completed. You also have the ability to configure the send file step for each client configuration if you wish to add or remove email addresses per client.
To override the send file step, locate the Action - Send File step and toggle the "Use default parameters" off and enter/remove email addresses from Email Address and Reply To fields. If you would like to enter multiple email addresses, separate them with a comma.
To complete the configuration for your client, click the Next button at the bottom of the page and then the Save button on the moov summary page.
