Employee
Any date in the correct pay period for a nonrecurring element entry
If the pay period is closed at your effective date, you cannot enter any
nonrecurring elements that process in payroll runs. If a current or future pay
period is closed, you cannot enter any recurring elements that process in
payroll runs.
To reduce the list of elements to choose from, select a classification, a
processing type, or both in the first region.
In the Element Name field, select an element.
Elements this employee is eligible for by means of a standard link appear
automatically.
The system displays a warning message if the employee fails to meet any
qualifying conditions of age or length of service.
If the Costing field is enterable, you can enter cost codes, for example to
indicate the cost center the employee's time should be charged to.
You can select a reason for an element entry you make or update. As part of
your system setup, you can enter valid reasons for the Lookup Type
ELE_ENTRY_REASON.
You can check the Override check box to create an entry that overrides all
other entries of this element in the current period. You cannot create an
override entry if one already exists, or if any of the entries of this element
have been adjusted.
If you want to create a one-time entry of a recurring element, check the
Additional check box.

An Additional entry is valid only for the current pay period, shown in the
Effective Dates fields.
You can only check Additional if:
An additional entry does not already exist for the assignment in this
period, and
Some fields may have a list of values; others may be validated as you
leave the field. You will receive a message if your entry is not a valid
value.

Start the names with a letter of the alphabet (not a number or symbol). The
reporting name is a short identifier for reports and pay advices.
Enter a description for the element.
Select a Primary Classification.
This controls an element's processing priority and the balances it feeds. If
you are defining a salary element for Salary Administration, you must select
the classification Earnings.

Final Close if you want the entries to stay open beyond the employee's
leaving date so that you can continue to pay the employee.
If you are a Payroll user, you can also select:
Last Standard Process for all recurring and nonrecurring elements if you
want their entries to close down on the Last Standard Process date or
on the date the assignment ends (the final process date) if this is
earlier. The Last Standard Process date defaults to the last day of the
pay period in which the employee is terminated, but you can set it to a
later period when you terminate an employee.
Select the Multiple Entries Allowed check box if you want to give an employee
more than one entry of the element at the same time.
Select the Additional Entries Allowed check box if you want to make
occasional one-time entries of a recurring element (instead of, or in addition
to, a normal recurring entry).
Select the Closed for Entry check box if you want to prevent any new entries
being made for the element, either temporarily or permanently. This does not
affect any existing entries of the element.
10.
11.
12.
Use this feature with caution. When you perform certain important tasks in Oracle
HRMS, the application may automatically create or delete element entries. These
tasks include hiring and terminating people, and updating assignments. Therefore,
if you check Closed for Entry on an element, this might prevent users terminating
employees and updating assignments. If there are standard links for the element, it
will also prevent users hiring people who are eligible for the element.

Select the Process in Run check box if you want the element to process in
payroll runs.
Select the Indirect Results check box if you want the element only to accept
entries from indirect formula results. Leave the check box unchecked if you
want to accept entries both from indirect formula results and from manual
entries in the Element Entries window.
Select the Adjustment Only check box if you want to use the element only for
creating balance adjustments.
Select the Third Party Payments check box if you want to use the element
only for creating third party payments.
Overwrite the default priority number in the Priority field if you want to
determine the order in which the element processes within its classification
range. Lower numbers process before higher ones.
If the order of processing within the element classification is not important,
you can accept the default priority number, which is the midpoint of the
range.
Select a formula in the Skip Rule field if you have written a skip rule formula
to determine the circumstances in which the element should be processed.

The default currency for element entry values is the base currency defined for
the Business Group. You can select a different currency for the element if
required.

Oracle Payroll Users: For Information type elements, you can select a
different output currency because these elements do not feed the
Payments balance. When you do this, Oracle Payroll converts the entry
values to the output currency before they are processed in the payroll
run.
Enter the age in the Age field if there is a minimum age for employees to
receive the element.
Enter a number in the Length of Service field and select a unit of measure
(such as months or years) in the Units field if there is a minimum length of
service employees must work before receiving the element.
Select the Standard check box if you want the element to be entered
automatically for all employees who are eligible. You cannot check Standard
if the element is nonrecurring or if Multiple Entries are allowed.
Save the element definition.

Writing Or Editing A
Formula
Set your effective date to the date when you want to begin using the formula.
To write a new formula, enter the formula's name and select a type. To edit
an existing formula, query its name.
Choose the Edit button to open a blank Edit Formula window where you can
write a new formula, or modify an existing one.
If you want to select database items, choose the Show Items button to
display the Database Items window and run a query. Copy and paste items
from this window to the Edit Formula window.
When you finish writing or editing the formula, choose the Verify button to
compile it.
This process identifies any syntax errors in your formula.
Once you have compiled any formula, new functions or changes to existing
functions made after the first time you compile, are not used. You must
logout of Oracle HRMS and login again. You can now compile your formula
and the new functions and/or changes to existing functions will be included.
When the formula is verified successfully, save it.
Your next step depends on the type of formula:
If the formula is of type Element Skip, you select it in the Skip Rule
field of the Element window.
Test your formula in the situation you intend to use it (such as, in a test payroll
run) to ensure it contains no logical errors.

Use the Formula Result Rules window to associate one or more formula
processing rules with an element.
At minimum, an element needs one standard processing rule. This identifies
the formula the payroll run uses to process the element for employees with
an Active assignment status (and a Payroll system status of Process). You can
define other processing rules if you need to use different formulas for
assignments at other statuses. For example, you could have two rules for a
Wages element: Standard Wages and Paid Training Leave.
Also use this window to define how each formula result is used by the payroll
run.

Stop: This formula result uses the effective date of the payroll run to
put an end date on a recurring entry of this or another element (which
must be defined with multiple entries not allowed.)
Fatal: When a message with this severity results from your formula,
the run rolls back all processing for the employee assignment.
Warning: A message with this level of severity does not affect payroll
processing but warns the user of a possible problem.

Check the Transfer to GL check box if the payroll run results from this link
should be transferred to the general ledger.
Use the Costing field to select a GL account code and, if present, account
codes of labor distribution or other systems in which to collect the run results
of this element. Then use the Balancing field to select the GL account that
balances this one.
For deductions elements:
Select the code for the GL account to credit in the Costing field, and the
code for the account to debit in the Balancing field.
For elements in all other classifications:
Select the code for the GL account code to debit in the Costing field,
and the code for the account to credit in the Balancing field.
1.7.3

DB Introduction
Oracle Payroll has many predefined balances installed with the system. You
can define other balances.
Defining a balance includes defining its feeds and dimensions. When you
select feeds for the balance you have to choose between specifying element
input values directly and selecting element classifications to determine the
feeds. You cannot choose both methods together.
You define balances in the Balance window.

Set your effective date to the start date for the balance feeds.
Select one or more elements to feed the balance. Only those elements whose
input values have the same unit of measure as the balance are listed.
When you select an element, its classification is displayed. You can select
elements with different classifications.
Select the input value that is to feed the balance.
For most payroll balances select Pay Value so that the element's run result
feeds the balance.
Select Add or Subtract for the balance feed.
IDC/ADMM
page 29

Select one or more element classifications and select Add or Subtract for
each. The run results of all elements in the classification will feed the balance.
The list includes all the primary and secondary element classifications that
are valid for this balance. If you select a secondary classification, you cannot
also select its parent primary classification.
Secondary classifications are not used in the North American or Singapore
versions of Oracle Payroll at this time.

DSB Introduction
Select the appropriate pay basis for the predefined element you plan to use.
For example, select Monthly Salary for the Regular Salary element in the US.
If you selected Annual or Monthly, Oracle HRMS identifies the number of
payments and enters 1 or 12 in the Pay Annualization Factor field. You can
change this value, if required.
IDC/ADMM
page 33
6.
If you selected Hourly, the Pay Annualization Factor field is blank. Enter your
own values, if required.
If you select Period, leave the Pay Annualization Factor field blank, Oracle
HRMS uses the payroll period of your employee as the annualization factor.
Note: The pay basis is for information only. For example, to enable you to
compare salaries.
Select the appropriate element and input value (for example, in the US,
Regular Salary and the input value Monthly Salary, or Regular Wages and the
input value Rate).

assigned to a new salary basis. This could be, for example, an employee
moving from an hourly wage to a monthly salary.
Notice that you cannot enter multiple components of a starting salary for a
newly hired employee or one assigned to a new salary basis.
You must assign a payroll to an employee before entering a salary.
Use the Salary Management folder to approve multiple salary proposals or to
download salary information to a spreadsheet. In the spreadsheet you can
enter new proposals, edit existing proposals, and approve salary components.
Then you can upload your changes to the database.

Create New Entry - The process creates a new entry if multiple entries
of the element are allowed by the element definition. If multiple entries
are not allowed, the process sets the status of the batch line to Error.
Reject Entry - The process sets the status of the batch line to Error.
5.
If you selected Change Existing Entry, select the type of date effective change
to be made to recurring entries:
Update - The process changes the existing entry from the effective
date, but preserves the previous information. If there are future-dated
changes to the existing entry, the process inserts the change before the
next scheduled change.
Correct - The process corrects the existing entry from its start date
through to its end date. Any future-dated changes are unaffected.
Override - The process changes the existing entry from the effective
date, but preserves the previous information. If there are future-dated
changes to the existing entry, the process replaces all future-dated
changes with the batch line.
Notice that if you select this option, you cannot check the Reject if

After a successful BEE transfer, you can roll back the transfer process if you
want to completely remove it, provided you have not purged the batch from
the BEE tables. You can choose to purge the batch as part of the rollback
process.
The process interlock rule (which prevents you rolling back a payroll process
if any further processing has taken place) does not apply to BEE Rollback. You
can still perform the rollback even if run results from payroll processing exist
for any of the lines.
If the batch included absence entries, the rollback removes the absence
records as well as the element entries.
You run the BEE Rollback process from the Submit Requests window.

P Overview
You can define as many payrolls as you need to meet the payroll processing needs
of your enterprise. Each payroll has one pay frequency only, such as weekly or
monthly, so the payroll of an employee assignment determines the pay frequency
for the employee.

The Check Date, sometimes called Pay Date, is the date of constructive
receipt of pay, on which paychecks become negotiable.
The Scheduled Run Date is the date scheduled for the Regular run of
this payroll each period.
The Cut Off date, included for your reference, is the final date for
entering or changing payroll information before a run.
These offsets are the defaults for the calendar. You can manually make date
changes in the calendar, for example when an offset date falls on a weekend
or holiday, by choosing the Period Dates button.
Select a default payment method for employees who have no valid personal
payment method. You cannot select a method using magnetic tape because
this requires information about employees' bank accounts.
Select a default consolidation set for this payroll. One consolidation set is
created automatically when you define your Business Group. Oracle Payroll
users can create other consolidation sets for payroll processing.
In the Costing region, you can enter information about the set of books and
suspense account holding costing information for this payroll.
The information you enter here depends on the setup of your Cost Allocation
key flexfield.

For each employee assignment, you can enter one or more payment
methods, selecting from the list of valid methods for the employee's payroll.
If you enter multiple methods (for example because the employee is paid
from more than one source account), you can enter the proportion of pay for
each method and its processing priority. An assignment can have two
instances of the same payment method, for example if salary is divided
between two bank accounts.
Employees with no personal payment method on record receive pay by the
default payment method of their payrolls.
You enter payment methods for employee assignments in the Personal
Payment Method window. You can also use this window to enter the payee for
third party payments.
To enter payment methods you must:
For third party payment methods, define the payee in the Organization
window (using the classification Payee Organization) or the Contact
window (using the relationship Payments Recipient).

When setting up an internal organization for which most or all labor costs go to the
same cost center, select that cost center from the appropriate segment of the Cost
Allocation flexfield when defining the organization.
For example, if the labor costs of most of the employees in the Commercial Sales
Group go against the cost center Sales, select Sales from the list of cost centers
when defining the organization Commercial Sales Group. This means that by
default, the system accumulates labor costs for each employee assigned to the
Commercial Sales Group for the cost center Sales.
Perhaps the costs of some employees assigned to this group should exceptionally
be charged to a different cost center. For these employees, you can enter the
correct costing information on their assignments. Entries at the assignment level
override entries at the organization level.
There may also be employees regularly assigned to work in this group only part
time, who work elsewhere the rest of the time. In cases like these, it is not
necessary to give employees two assignments. You can enter a number of cost
centers for one assignment, specifying the percentage of labor costs to charge to
each:
Sales
50%
Public Relations
You can also enter other types of costing information at the assignment
level. For example, if a Production Department employee regularly
works 80% of the time on one product line and 20% on another, you
can enter this on the assignment.

You can run a QuickPaint report for a set of assignments, rather than
individual assignments.
You can process subsets of the employees assigned to a payroll. Normally you
initiate payroll runs and other post-run processes for one or more payrolls at
a time. However, if you need to process smaller groups within a single
payroll, you define an assignment set.
You can use a BEE concurrent process to create an identical batch line for
each assignment in an assignment set.

You can enter selection criteria, which the system generates into a formula.
When you use the assignment set, Oracle FastFormula runs the formula to
find the assignments that match the criteria. It checks all the assignments in
the Business Group or, if you select a payroll when you define the set, all the
assignments to that payroll. When you define the set you can also include or
exclude individual assignments to modify the set created by the formula.
You can select individually all the assignments you want to include in the set.
You can start from a full set of all the employees in the Business Group or all
the employees assigned to a selected payroll. Then you can exclude individual
assignments from the set.

Some requests require you to enter parameter values so that you can specify
the scope of information you want in the request output. Some requests don't
have parameters at all. Some parameter fields also have a list of values
available to ensure you choose a valid parameter value while other
parameters are optional and require no value. Use the List of Values icon to
display a list of valid values for a parameter.
Default values may be predefined for one or more of the parameters
associated with your request. The default values are automatically applied to
these parameters when the parameters window is opened. However; if you
do not open the parameters window, default values are only applied to
required parameters.
7.
Once you enter the values in the required parameter fields and choose OK,
the Parameters window closes, and your parameter values are concatenated
and displayed in the Parameters field.
If your site supports multiple languages, you can select which language is
used for your request output. Choose Languages... to open the Language
window. Use the Select All button to produce output in all languages
supported at your site or check individual languages. If the language
selection is predefined in the report, the Language window does not open.
Each language creates its own request, so the number of languages
determines the number of concurrent requests created and tracked in the
Requests window.

When you choose Periodically, several new fields appear that let
you specify the interval of minutes, hours, days, or months that
you want to wait before resubmitting a request. You can also
specify whether to count your interval from the requested start
time of the request or from the completion time of the request.
Use the List of Values calendar to select start and end dates to define
the period in which you want to submit your request.
If you do not specify a start time, Oracle Applications uses the value
from your user profile option Concurrent:Request Start Time or the
current time as the default.
Whether a request completes successfully or in error, Oracle Applications
immediately submits the next run only if the next requested start date and
time is on or before the end date and time you specify. If you do not specify
an end date, the request or request set repeats indefinitely until you cancel
it.
