EBS R12 to Fusion: element entries not carrying retro with the balance initialization

Mid-project on EBS R12 to Fusion. We're initializing balances as of go-live and loading open element entries. The recurring entries load fine, but anything with a retro impact from before go-live isn't reflected — so the first Fusion payroll under-recovers on a few loans and over-pays on a couple of allowances that had a backdated increase in EBS. Are people loading a separate retro adjustment element for the pre-go-live delta, or is there a cleaner way through balance init?

Separate one-time adjustment element per employee for the pre-go-live delta is the standard move. Balance init gets you the year-to-date figures for statutory, but it won't replay retro events. Calculate the delta in EBS, load it as a non-recurring entry dated go-live, and let the first Fusion run true it up.

That's what I feared. Fine — I'll extract the retro delta from EBS by element and load one-time adjustments. At least it's auditable.
