GOAL

How do you create a new Payroll flow?

SOLUTION

The information on defining a flow pattern is in the Oracle Fusion Applications Workforce
Deployment Implementation Guide
-Define Payroll Flow Patterns is under Define Payroll.

Complete the following steps to create a flow pattern:

1. Select the Manage Payroll Flow Patterns task in the Payroll Checklist work area or the
Refine Extracts flow from the Data Exchange work area.
2. Create a new flow pattern or search for and select an existing flow pattern to copy.
3. Select a legislative data group.
4. On the Basic information page, specify the following information.
1. LDG Required, as shown in the following table

LDG Required Result

No Flow pattern available to all legislative data groups
 Yes Flow pattern restricted by legislative data group
2.
3. Default Flow option.
5. Select the activities and tasks to include in the flow pattern.

The activity associated with the task determines the work area where you can submit the
flow.

6. On the Tasks page, complete the following information.

o Optionally, rename the task and description and change the activity or task group
for the task.

For example, you might place all your reports in the Statutory activity and rename
each verification task so it includes the report name.

o Select a task owner.

o Skip the step to specify the duration dates that determine when to send the
notification to alert the flow or task owner to start a task or that it is overdue.
Return to this step after you complete flow parameters on the Parameters page.
o Select the type of notifications received by the flow or task owner.
7. On the Task Sequence page, review the task sequence and reorder, add or delete tasks, as
required.

All flow patterns begin with a Start task and conclude with an End task. Tasks are
sequential but you can start processing on more than one task. For example, if your flow
pattern includes three reports you use to verify calculation results, you can specify Start
Flow in the Task column for each report. In the Following Task column, select the report
that should start next.

8. On the Parameters page, select the parameters to complete when submitting the flow
pattern.

The application uses the flow parameters to submit and complete the tasks in the flow
pattern, or as a basis for deriving values to submit the remaining tasks in the flow pattern.

9. On the Task Parameters page, review the parameters, and if necessary update the
parameters.

For example, you might specify a constant if the value is the same for all tasks, such as
the Process Configuration Group parameter.

10. Review the resulting checklist for the flow pattern before submitting the flow pattern.
11. Define a security profile for it using the Manage Payroll Flow Security Profile task in the
Setup and Maintenance work area.
 The HCM data role security controls who can submit the flow pattern or view the
resulting flow from the Payroll Dashboard or payroll work areas.

This document is designed to provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions
regarding Elements and Fast Formulas within Oracle Fusion Applications.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

If you are a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) customer, there may be sections in this document that
need not be performed by you. Please log a Service Request in My Oracle Support for Oracle to do this
for you

Fast Formulas

1) Why are the seeded formulas failing after an install or applying a patch?

You must compile all seeded formulas after an install or patch by selecting the “Submit a Process
or Report” task from the Payroll Checklist work area and then running the “Compile Formula”
process.

2) How do I view Fast Formula database items, globals and functions?

The database items, globals, and functions can be viewed and used on the Manage Fast Formulas
page. They appear in a panel on the far right of the main formula maintenance page, but can be
too far right to be immediately visible. To access this region, rearrange the page by either
minimizing the panels on the left side of the page or by resizing the panels.

3) How can I get details of errors encountered whilst either compiling or executing formulas?

You can find the following topics in Oracle Fusion Application Help, which list the errors:

- Formula Execution Errors: Explained

- Formula Compilation Errors: Explained
These topics are also available in the Oracle Fusion Applications Workforce Deployment
Implementation Guide.

4) How do you create Fast Formula functions?

There is no UI to create Fast Formula functions. New features in Oracle Fast Formula remove
the necessity to use functions. These features include support for looping, array data types, and
calling formulas from formulas. To understand these new features refer to the ‘Define Elements,
Balances, and Formulas’ chapter of the Oracle Fusion Applications Workforce Deployment
Implementation Guide. Should it still be necessary to create a formula function, Appendix 1
below gives an example of how it is done.

5) How do you compile multiple formulas?

This can be done by selecting the “Submit a Process or Report” task from the Payroll Checklist
work area and then running the “Compile Formula” process.

6) How do I see a database item for a changed element, element input or balance, if it does not
display?

Payroll data has a base name and a translated name. The database items for elements, element
input values, and balances have names that are generated from the base names of the element,
element input value, or balance. Changing the name updates the translated name but not the base
name. Unfortunately, the pages only display the translated name. The database items are still
present, but with the original names.

7) Why can’t I use a formula function or database item with my formula?

The database item or function might not exist. For a formula function, a function with the same
name and combination of parameters might not exist.

Each formula has a formula type with a related set of contexts. Contexts are application-specific
parameters – for example, a payroll run has contexts for the legislative data group, payroll, and
payroll action. Formula functions and database items can also take context parameters. If a
function or a database item requires contexts other than those supported by the formula type then
the formula cannot use the function or database item.

8) Why can’t I call this formula?

The formula might not exist or the application is running at a partitioning level incompatible
with the formula. For example, a United States payroll run cannot use United Kingdom formulas.

Appendix 1 – Creating a Formula Function (Not applicable in Cloud environment)

FUSION is the Fusion schema object (tables, views, PLSQL package) owner.
FUSION_DYNAMIC is the fusion dynamic schema owner. The dynamic schema is where
dynamically created objects such as the PLSQL generated by the formula compiler is held.
FUSION_RUNTIME is the Fusion user under which code is executed.

The custom schema is the Fusion schema where the customer’s schema objects (e.g. tables,
views, PLSQL packages) are created. The custom schema user will be referred to as
MYCUSTOM here, although it’s up to the customer what to call it.

In this example, ZZ_CMP_PFG_FF_FUNCTIONS is the PLSQL package containing the custom

formula function code. This package references the FUSION tables CMP_PLANS_B,
CMP_PLANS_TL, CMP_CWB_PERSON_INFO, and CMP_PLAN_PERIODS. In the
following, database administrators instead of executing SQL under a particular user might
execute under a single user with appropriate privileges to create synonyms or grant privileges.

Note: The following is not advice for database administrators on the best way to create the
function. It’s just the correct sequence of steps.

Step 1 - Create private synonyms for the referenced FUSION tables in the CUSTOM schema

This DDL is executed under the CUSTOM user. The DDL is required so that the PLSQL
function can compile in custom schema. Private synonyms are necessary to minimise the
visibility of the Fusion tables.

create or replace synonym cmp_plans_tl for fusion.cmp_plans_tl;

create or replace synonym cmp_plans_b for fusion.cmp_plans_b;
create or replace synonym cmp_cwb_person_info for fusion.cmp_cwb_person_info;
create or replace synonym cmp_plan_periods for fusion.cmp_plan_periods;

Step 2 - Grant SELECT privilege on these FUSION tables to the CUSTOM user

This is necessary for the custom plsql packages to compile, and is executed under the FUSION
user.

grant select on cmp_plans_tl to mycustom;

grant select on cmp_plans_b to mycustom;
grant select on cmp_cwb_person_info to mycustom;
grant select on cmp_plan_periods to mycustom;

Step 3 - Create the custom PLSQL package in the CUSTOM schema

This is created by the custom user and has invoker rights (AUTHID CURRENT_USER) so that
it executes with the privileges of the caller (invoker) rather than the creator (definer i.e.
MYCUSTOM).

The source files are attached - header zz_cmp_pfg_functions.pkh, body

zz_cmp_pfg_functions.pkb
Step 4 - create a private synonym for the custom package in the FUSION_DYNAMIC schema

This DDL is executed as the FUSION_DYNAMIC user. This is necessary so that formulas using
the formula function can be compiled.

create or replace synonym zz_cmp_pfg_functions for mycustom.zz_cmp_pfg_functions;

Step 5 - grant execute privilege on zz_cmp_pfg_functions to FUSION_DYNAMIC

This is done under the CUSTOM user. This is necessary so that formulas using the formula
function can be compiled.

grant execute on zz_cmp_pfg_functions to fusion_dynamic;

Step 6 - add the function definition to the FF tables

Note: the FF_FUNCTIONS_B definition text in the example would be:

zz_cmp_pfg_functions.get_latest_salary. This is done under the FUSION user.

The formula function has function context usages: HR_ASSIGNMENT_ID, and

EFFECTIVE_DATE. It also has a single optional parameter for the plan_table.

Payroll Element Template and Element Entries

1) Why can’t I create an element at Payroll Relationship level?

Payroll Relationship elements can only be created for elements with a deduction classification.

2) What happens if the Closed for Entry option is selected on an element?

It prevents all new element entries for the element. Selecting this option will not affect any
existing element entries. Use caution with this feature. When hiring, terminating, or updating
assignments, this option will prevent element entry creation for the element, even if the element
is used for automatic entries.

3) How can I create an element for retroactive processing?

When an element is subject to retroactive changes, all components for the retroactive element are
created automatically by the element template. This includes adding the element to the
predefined retroactive event group and proration group. You can create your own retroactive
event group and proration event group and change the default values for the element in the
Manage Element flow.

4) How can I define Multiple Rules of Element Eligibility?

You can define more than one eligibility criteria for each element but there must be no overlap
between them. For example, you could create one criteria for the combination of grade A and the
job Accountant. However, you could not create one criteria for grade A and a second for the job
Accountant. This would imply that an accountant on grade A is eligible for the same element
twice. If you have more than one criteria for an element, you can enter different default values,
qualifying conditions, and costing information for each eligibility group.

5) How will calculation rule Unit X Rate for element work, while running the Payroll?

This element has input values for unit, unit type, rate and multiple. Unit type can be hours or
days.

Calculation Rule = unit X rate X multiple

If rate is not specified then the rate is calculated using the salary basis. Multiple defaults to 1 if
none specified.

6) What aspects of element eligibility rules can I change after starting to use an element?

After you have used an element you can make the following changes to the eligibility rules:

 Change the input value default values and validation.

 These changes affect all new entries. Changes to runtime defaults affect existing entries. The
system also uses the new validation rules to check any updates you make to existing entries.
 Date-effective changes end all of the rules that apply to an element and define a new set of
rules, which are effective from a later date. For example, suppose you have defined eligibility for
a company car based on grade. Following a change of policy you must now define eligibility
based on job.
 You will not be allowed to end the element eligibility if any nonrecurring entries exist at the date
you want to end the rule. You must delete existing entries before you end the element's
eligibility.
 You can end the element eligibility if recurring entries exist. Any existing entries will be ended
automatically when you end the element's eligibility.

7) What happens if I override an element entry that has a runtime default set at the element's
definition?

If you override it, then any subsequent changes to the default value on the element or element
eligibility definition will not affect the element entry. However, you can clear your entry if you
want to restore the default value.

8) Why can’t I update or end date an Element Entry?

If an entry is nonrecurring, you cannot update it.

9) How to update the Input Value on an existing Element?

One element is given to employees, the input values on the Manage Elements page cannot be
update. If your business has a situation that the input value (ex: Amount, Percentage) needs to be
changed on all employees, the best option is this:

1. End Date all element entries sing Payroll Batch Loader

2. Change element eligibility
3. Create new element entries for employees using Payroll Batch Loader.

Please refer to Integrating with Oracle HCM Cloud Gide > Payroll Batch Loader
Workbooks chapter for more information.

10) Why can’t I update or end date entries on a desired date?

When searching for an element entry, you must enter the desired date in the Effective As-of date
field. You can then drill down to the entry details and update or end date as of the desired date.

11) Why can’t I delete an element entry?

On the Element Entries page, you cannot delete entries created automatically from other features.
For example, paid-time-off absence entries and benefit entries cannot be updated or deleted on
the Element Entries page. Users can end date element entries in Manage Element Entries page.

12) Why can’t I select the element from an element list of values on the Element Entries page?

You may be encountering an intermittent issue on Internet Explorer 8 that prevents you from
selecting the element from element list of values.

12) Why can’t I create entries for all elements on Element Entries page?

The entries for some elements are created through different features such as paid-time-off
absence entries and benefit entries. You cannot manually create entries for these types of
elements using the Element Entries page.

13) Are there any naming convention guidelines when creating elements?
Users should avoid the use of the 2-character country code at the start of the element name, no
hyphens, and the name cannot begin with a number (such as 401k). Also, beware of extra,
consecutive spaces in the name as it can cause the associated fast formula to fail compilation.

14) SQLs to identify element eligibility and employee element entries for an element

Unable to delete the element for which it seems that there are no element entries exist. There
could be still rows in the eligibility and element entries tables that prevent deleting an element.
Use these sample sqls to identify lokcing records:

a. SQL to find out element_type_id of an element:

select * from fusion.pay_element_types_f

where base_element_name like 'Car Allowance%' -- Put our element name

b. SQL to find out employees' person numbers who have this element in their element
entries:

select person_number from fusion.pay_element_entries_f peef,

fusion.per_all_people_f ppf
where element_type_id = 300000044458643
and peef.person_id = ppf.person_id

c. SQL to find out if element has element eligibility records:

select * from fusion.pay_element_links_f

where element_type_id = 300000004861401

Goal

Solution

References

APPLIES TO:

Oracle HRMS (US) - Version 12.1.3 and later

Information in this document applies to any platform.

GOAL

Online Payslip in PDF format is being used for US legislation.

A custom package has been created to produce custom xml tags and is entered in the XML Code
field in Self Service Preference at the business group level as
XXHR_PAYSLIP_PKG.XX_US_PAYSLIP

However, the custom tags are not appearing on the custom template created for this purpose.

How to find custom xml tags that are created for Online Payslip in PDF format ?

SOLUTION

Oracle Support received the following information from Oracle Development on how to identify
and see the custom XML tags that are produced:

Unlike the CheckWriter and Deposit Advice Processes where XML File is first generated
through a Concurrent Request and later merged with Template, Online Payslip generates XML
and merges it with RTF Template in procedures itself without saving it to database or filesystem.
For PDF Payslip, the XML file is generated by calling the procedure
PAY_PAYROLL_XML_EXTRACT_PKG.GENERATE. Package
PAY_PAYROLL_XML_EXTRACT_PKG has two overloaded procedures with name
GENERATE. The procedure with below signature is the one used by PDF Payslip.

PROCEDURE GENERATE (
P_ACTION_CONTEXT_ID number,
P_CUSTOM_XML_PROCEDURE varchar2,
P_GENERATE_HEADER_FLAG varchar2, -- {Y/N}
P_ROOT_TAG varchar2,
P_DOCUMENT_TYPE varchar2,
P_XML OUT NOCOPY BLOB
)

The XML content generated is propagated through Parameter P_XML and merged with RTF
Template to display the Online PDF Payslip. The XML content generated for PDF Payslip is not
saved any where in the database.

If customer is interested in capturing the XML generated for PDF Payslip, they can follow below
mentioned steps in their Test instance.

>> Please note that these steps are only for Debugging purpose and should not be applied
in the Production instance.<<

1. Create a temporary table to hold the XML Data using APPS Login

CREATE TABLE TEMP_PDF_PAYSLIP_XML

(
XML_DATA BLOB,
ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID NUMBER,
CREATION_DATE DATE)

2. Add below mentioned code to the end of procedure

PAY_PAYROLL_XML_EXTRACT_PKG.GENERATE. Make sure to identify the
GENERATE procedure used by PDF Payslip as per the signature mentioned above.

INSERT INTO TEMP_PDF_PAYSLIP_XML

VALUES (P_XML,P_ACTION_CONTEXT_ID,SYSDATE);
COMMIT;

Save the Package Body and compile the changes. Make sure the compilation completes
successfully.

3. Bounce the Apache services.

4. Now try accessing PDF Payslip for the required employee. The XML generated will now be
saved to temporary table TEMP_PDF_PAYSLIP_XML. The Column
ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID has the Assignment Action ID corresponding to the Payroll
Archive run of the Employee for which Payslip is viewed. For debugging purpose, if same
Payslip is accessed multiple times, the column CREATION_DATE can be used to retrieve the
latest XML.

5. Make sure to remove the changes made to procedure

PAY_PAYROLL_XML_EXTRACT_PKG.GENERATE once the debug activity is complete.

Please note:
Support analysts may address questions regarding basic functionality, but the charter does not
allow Support to assist in debugging custom code. The Applications architecture is very complex
and is under proprietary control. Any issues with the standard Application can be directed to the
appropriate Applications support team, (i.e. General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, etc.).

Information in this document applies to any platform.

GOAL

To determine why the Head Count measure only displays employees hired through the UI and
doesn't show employees that were imported.

SOLUTION

In Fusion HCM, Headcount & FTE are measures that require user inputs with no defaults.

First check if user can see Headcount in Fusion UI.

(It is likely when employees were imported Headcount was not set.)

To get a count of workers, use Assignment Count.

Assignment Count is a row count of employees.

Other steps to help in trouble shooting issue...

-- Check the physical SQL , you will see all the filters applied (Maybe the employees are not
active or similar ).
-- Compare a working employee to one which does not appear, it is likely data related.
-- Check data security, for example did you import employees from a division BU that is not in
the end users data security profile, try the report using HR Analyst _ViewAll

NOTE : There is no sql script user can run to set all the active primary work assignments
HeadCount field to 1.

But, you can use/modify the earlier suggestion to use assignment count.
This will be pretty close to what you are looking for.
Basically pull all active assignments and filter for employees etc.
The assignment fact in the following subject area pulls all active assignments using following
logic.
You can modify the report by filtering on assignment type to get the headcount as per their
requirements.

Subject Area: Workforce Management – Worker Assignment Real Time.

These are the assignments that are included.

(
((AssignmentPEO.ASSIGNMENT_TYPE = 'E' ) ) OR
( (AssignmentPEO.ASSIGNMENT_TYPE = 'C' ) ) OR
( (AssignmentPEO.ASSIGNMENT_TYPE = 'N' ) ) OR
((AssignmentPEO.ASSIGNMENT_TYPE = 'P' ) )
)
AND ( (AssignmentPEO.EFFECTIVE_LATEST_CHANGE = 'Y' ) )

Additional information/clarification:

1. Assignment Count is not the same as headcount.

2. Assignment count will give you the distinct count of the assignment per employee, where as head
count is the work measure set in Fusion UI.
3.Go to "Manage Employment", In the Assignment details you see work measure.
4. The headcount you see in Manage Position UI, is the position head count.
5. If you want to count the number of employees, we would recommend to use Count distinct on person
number. Person number is available under worker folder.

How To Assign A Legal Entity (LE) To Ledger.

FIX

When to assign a Legal Entity (LE) to a Ledger ?

If you are planning to create any transactions that has a financial impact
then you will need to assign
an LE to a Ledger.

For example creating a Payables or Receivables invoice/transaction will

have a financial impact and therefore will require a LE assigned to a
Ledger. Whilst a Sales order will not have an impact and will not require
this assignment.

The following Functional Setup Manager (FSM) steps are required to

Assign an LE to a Ledger:
After creating a project in FSM pick the task list "Define Accounting
Configurations". Ensure
before you go into the individual tasks that the "Primary Ledger" field
shows the correct Ledger
you wish for the assignment. Here in this example "Vision Operations
(USA)" will be the ledger
tasked for the LE assignments.

After clicking on the "Go To Task" for the "Assign Legal Entities" task
you will be taken into the "Assign Legal Entities" page. This page will
show all the LEs that are currently assigned to your chosen Ledger.
Click on the create icon then select your LE and click on Apply. Once
you have finished applying then click
on done which will bring you back to the "Define Accounting
Configuration" task list.

Important - Once the assignment has been done you will then need to run
the "Review and Submit Accounting Configuration" program.

If you wish to see how to create an Ledger or a LE then please review:

GOAL

Saudi Government (General Organization for Social Insurance) Announced in April 2020 to
register 70 % from Saudi Employees in the (SANED Program - Unemployment support) and
SANED program is supporting those Saudi Employees by paying their salaries directly and not
through company payroll anymore.

Question: How can we keep their Monthly Costing details/Journals running normally such as
(Gratuity Provision & Annual Leave Provision) ?

SOLUTION

We have delivered a document to help address this type of situations, please consider the bellow:
Oracle HCM Cloud Saudi Arabia: GOSI Suspension For Employees And Employers Due to
COVID-19 (Doc ID 2672787.1)

If the payment is suspended, you don't need to cost (e.g. to send a costing journal for the GL) for
something that you are not paying out.
Even if the employee is being paid, GOSI would still calculated as zero, so nothing relating to
GOSI would be costed.

As additional observation, Gratuity wouldn't be accrued each month if the employee isn't being
paid, but the accrual would catch up the next time the employee is paid, and this corrected figure
would be costed at that time.
This would not affect any Gratuity actually paid on termination.

GOAL
The customer upload a new employees and missed to fill the nationality or the citizenship
information.
The calculation cards not added automatically to the employees.
After that the customer updated all employees with nationality but the calculation cards not
added.
The customer faced this issue before but with KSA legislative to add calculation card when
Oracle ran a script.
The customer requested to run the script to create automatically calculation cards for the
employees.

SOLUTION

The automatic creation of the calculation cards did not triggered due to missing information in
the citizenship and Social Insurance Number fields for the personal data for the employees while
hiring.

Next steps you should do to resolved issue are:

- To check and upload the citizenship and Social Insurance Numbers for the Emirate employees.
- to create calculation cards by using HDL.

Regarding HDL:
There is no specific template for UAE or any gcc localization. But customers
can use the generic loader template plus can refer the implementation guide.

Also can refer UK template for understanding.

PURPOSE

This document is designed to provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions
regarding calculation, validation and balancing in Oracle Fusion Payroll.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What's the difference between retrying a payroll process and retrying a payroll calculation?

Use the Retry Payroll Process task to reprocess all tasks except the tasks to Calculate Payroll and
Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes. Submit the task to rerun the selected payroll
process and to recalculate the results.

Use the Retry Payroll or Retroactive Calculation task to retry only the tasks to Calculate Payroll
and Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes. Submit the task to recalculate the payroll run
results, such as the gross-to-net results, or to recalculate retrospective changes that were not
included in the original payroll run.

Refer to Note 1556326.1 Fusion Payroll: FAQ For Marking for Retry, Retrying, and Rolling
Back Payroll Results for more information.

What individual processes need to be run in order to see employee's payslip?

There are several processes that need to be executed in this sequence in order to see employee's
payslip. Navigation: Payroll > Checklist > Submit a Process or Report > Pick your Legislative
Data Group:

- Calculate Payroll
- Calculate Prepayments
- Archive Periodic Payroll Results
- Generate Check Payments, this process generates the file with checks
- Make EFT Payments
- Generate Payslips

How can employee receive two payments in one pay period?

Sometimes that there is a need for more then one payment to be paid to an employee in case of a
bonus or termination or other reasons. In this case employee can be processed in a payroll run
and a Quickpay or use of payroll relationship group parameter in the normal run to calculate
payroll for the selected persons and generate EFT file. When we run Make EFT Payment
process, it will generate EFT file for the new prepayment results (i.e. payments for the payroll
relation group selected in the normal run). In this way we can run separate payroll calculation
process for each payroll relationship group and generate multiple EFT files.

Please note that the dates for the first run/ prepayment need to be the before the dates for the
second run / prepayment. Otherwise the second prepayment will not process the employee
because there are prepayments and EFT payment exist for the employee already.

How can I remove someone from the payroll run?

Roll back the person's record from the View Person Process Result page, which deletes the
record. If you have already processed later actions for the person, such as prepayments, you must
roll back these actions before you can roll back the payroll run results for the person. You can
put failed employees in payroll relationship group. Please refer to Note 1556341.1 Fusion
Payroll: FAQ For Object Groups on how to create a payroll relationships group

Remove a person from the run if you discover a problem that requires corrections that would
delay the payroll run. You can remove the person, make the corrections, and process a QuickPay
action.

How can I improve performance and troubleshoot payroll processes?

Add parameters to a payroll process configuration group to optimize performance and

troubleshoot your payroll processes. To process large volumes of records, use the Threads and
Chunk Size parameters. To troubleshoot processes, add the Logging Category or Formula
Execution Logging parameters to a configuration group and rerun the process using that
configuration group. Using these parameters enables you to investigate formula code problems.
How can I identify the payroll flow that includes a specific element for an employee?

Submit the Element Result Register to confirm that the payroll included the element, to
determine the value paid the employee, and the name of the payroll flow where the element
results were calculated. When you submit the Element Result Register, you must enter the
payroll name and the end date. If you do not know which payroll the person is assigned to, query
the person's payroll details on the Manage Payroll Relationships page to identify the person's
assigned payroll.

What is the difference between rolling back and reversing a payment action?

Rolling back a process deletes the action and leaves no audit trail. For example, you might roll
back the prepayment process if you discover an error before generating payments.

The reversal process reverses the payroll calculation, generating a negative run result to offset
the original run result, and leaves an audit trail. Once the payment process has been run, you can
no longer roll back; you must reverse the payroll calculation. For example, you might reverse the
calculation for a payment that was generated in error and was not issued. You can reverse any
process that produces run results, including a normal payroll run and a QuickPay run. The
Cancel Payment flow includes the Reverse Payroll Calculation task.

When does a balance display on the Statement of Earnings?

After you calculate the payroll, you can view balances on the Statement of Earnings section of
the Person Process Results page. Balances are not automatically included for the Information
balance group, nor for the Gross-to-Net balance group for legislations not predefined by Oracle.
You must load these balances and the balance groups before you can view their results in the
Statement of Earnings.

When would I close a payroll period?

Closing a payroll period can interfere with changes to recurring entries. Payroll periods are not
like General Ledger periods. You do not need to close payroll periods.

Why isn't an element included in a person's payroll run results?

 Page
Action
Review the parameters for the payroll flow to determine if a payroll
relationship group was specified, or an element group was specified that Payroll Flow
restricts the element processed in the run.
If the payroll parameters specified a payroll relationship group and
element group, query these groups to confirm that the payroll
Manage Object Groups
relationship group includes the person, and that the element group
includes the element.
Review the element entries, and if the element is not listed there, review
Manage Element
the element eligibility information to ensure the person is entitled to
Entries, Manage
receive the element. For deduction elements, you might review the
Personal Deductions
deduction card information to ensure the details are up-to-date.
If you recently hired or terminated the person or transferred the person to
a new payroll, query the employee, and review the person's assigned Manage Payroll
payrolls and element duration dates to ensure that the element falls Relationships
within the duration dates.
Confirm that the run type for the payroll run includes the element. Manage Run Types
