1.2 CES Making Manual
Element Entries
Navigation Path : People -> Enter and maintain -> Assignment -> Entries
1.2.1 MEE Introduction
1. You enter compensation and basic benefits for employee assignments in the
Element Entries window. If employees are assigned to a salary basis, you
enter their salaries in the Salary Administration window.
2. You can use the Element Entries window to make entries or to query existing
entries. Use the Period field, Classification field, and Processing Types option
buttons to restrict the entries you see when making inquiries.
3. The Processed check box shows if Oracle Payroll has processed the entry in
the current pay period.
1.2.2 MEE To Enter An Element For An Employee
Assignment:
1. Follow the Navigation Path
2. If necessary, change your effective date to:
 The correct start date for a recurring element entry
 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.
3. To reduce the list of elements to choose from, select a classification, a
processing type, or both in the first region.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. If you want to create a one-time entry of a recurring element, check the
Additional check box.
IDC/ADMM page 8

An Additional entry is valid only for the current pay period, shown in the
Effective Dates fields.
You can only check Additional if:
 The element definition allows additional entries, and
 An additional entry does not already exist for the assignment in this
period, and
 The employee is assigned to a payroll
 There is a payroll period defined at your effective date
9. Choose the Entry Values button to open the Entry Values window.
10. Enter values in the Entry Values fields. Notice that:
 Entry to some fields may not be permitted.
 Some fields may be required.
 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.
 Some fields may contain default values. If the default value is in
quotation marks, it is a "hot default".
11. To determine the processing sequence of multiple entries in the payroll run,
enter a subpriority number in the Processing Priority field. Lower priority
numbers process first.
12. Save your work.
IDC/ADMM page 9

1.3 Defining an Element
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Basic -> Element Description
1.3.1 The Main Concepts
1. Use the Element window to create an element to represent compensation and
benefit types or earnings and deductions.
2. We explain how to define elements using a Payroll responsibility (that is, a
responsibility with the HR User Type profile option set to Payroll User or HR
with Payroll User).
1.3.2 To Enter Dates, names and a classification for the
element:
4. Set your effective date early enough to handle any historical element entries
you want to make. Note that an element cannot be linked or entered until its
start date.
5. Enter a unique:
 Name
 Reporting name
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.
6. Enter a description for the element.
7. 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.
1.3.3 To Enter Processing Information For The Element:
8. Select the processing type. Select Recurring if an entry of this element
applies in every period until the entry is ended, or Nonrecurring if an entry
applies in one pay period only. The dates of the pay period are determined by
the payroll to which the employee is assigned.
If you are defining a salary element for salary administration, you must select
the type Recurring. If you are defining an absence element for absence
management, you must select the type Nonrecurring.
9. Select a termination rule to determine how entries of the element are
processed after termination of the employee:
 Actual Termination if you want recurring entries to close down on the
date the employee leaves. For a nonrecurring element, select Actual
Termination if you want the entries to close down at the end of the pay
period in which the employee leaves, or on the date the assignment
ends (the final process date) if this is earlier.
IDC/ADMM page 10

 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.
10. 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.
11. 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).
12. 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.
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.
1.3.4 DE Oracle Payroll Users:
13. Select the Process in Run check box if you want the element to process in
payroll runs.
14. 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.
15. Select the Adjustment Only check box if you want to use the element only for
creating balance adjustments.
16. Select the Third Party Payments check box if you want to use the element
only for creating third party payments.
17. 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.
18. 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.
IDC/ADMM page 11

1.3.5 To Select Currencies For Element Entry Values And
Processing:
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.
19. Select the currency in the Input field if you want to make element entries in a
currency other than the base currency of the Business Group.
 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.
1.3.6 To Define Qualifying Conditions For Receiving The
Element:
20. Enter the age in the Age field if there is a minimum age for employees to
receive the element.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. Save the element definition.
IDC/ADMM page 12

1.4 Defining An Element's
Input Values
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Element Description -> Input Values
1.4.1 DEIV Introduction
Use the Input Values window to define the input values for the element. You can
define up to 15 input values for an element.
Payroll users: If you are creating balance feeds for individual elements, ensure you
define an input value of the same unit of measure as the balance. Money units
must be the same currency.
1.4.2 DEIV To Define Input Values:
2. Set your effective date early enough to handle any historical element entries
you want to make.
3. Enter or query the element in the Element window and choose the Input
Values button.
4. Enter the name of the first input value. Remember that if you want to define
a pay value to hold run results, you must name it Pay Value.
5. Select the unit type of your input value (money, hours, character, date,
number, or time). A Pay Value must have the unit type Money if the element
is in a Payments type classification.
6. You can enter numbers in the Sequence field to change the order in which the
input values appear in the Entry Values window.
7. Check the Required check box if all entries of the element must have a value
for this input.
8. Check the User Enterable check box if users can enter a value for this input.
Uncheck it if you want to ensure that the default value is entered for all
employees.
9. Check the Database Item check box if you want the value to be available to
formulas or QuickPaint inquiries.
10. Database Items are simple identifiers that the system uses to find specific
items of information in the human resources database.
1.4.3 DEIV Entering Element-Level Defaults For An Input
Value:
11. Enter the value in the Default field.
12. If you want existing entries to be updated whenever the default is changed,
check the Hot Default check box. The input value must be required if you
want to use this option.
A hot default appears in the Entry Values window in quotation marks.
IDC/ADMM page 14

Warning: If a user overrides a hot default in the Entry Values window,
subsequent changes to the default will not affect the entry. For this reason,
you may prefer to use BEE to change defaults for large groups of employees,
rather than the hot default feature.
1.4.4 Defining Entry Validation For An Input Value:
13. Do one of the following:
 Enter maximum and minimum values for the input.
 Select a Lookup Type to act as a lookup supplying a list of valid values.
 Select a formula to validate entries for this input value. Formulas can
return messages to users about the success or failure of the validation.
14. Select Warning or Error to determine whether the system warns users that an
entry is invalid or prevents them from saving an invalid entry. You cannot
select a value if you chose a Lookup because a user cannot enter an invalid
value for an input value validated by lookup.
IDC/ADMM page 15

1.5 Writing Or Editing A
Formula
1. Set your effective date to the date when you want to begin using the formula.
2. To write a new formula, enter the formula's name and select a type. To edit
an existing formula, query its name.
3. Choose the Edit button to open a blank Edit Formula window where you can
write a new formula, or modify an existing one.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. When the formula is verified successfully, save it.
7. Your next step depends on the type of formula:
 If the formula is of type Oracle Payroll, you must associate it with an
element in the Formula Result Rules window.
 If the formula is of type Element Skip, you select it in the Skip Rule
field of the Element window.
 If the formula is of type Element Input Validation, you select it in the
Formula field of the Input Values window when you are defining an
element.
 If the formula is of type User Table Validation, you select it in the
Formula field of the Columns window when you are defining a user
table structure.
 If the formula is of type Accrual, Accrual Carryover, or Accrual
Ineligibility, you select it in the Accrual Plan window.
 If the formula is of type Accrual Subformula, you call it from another
formula of type Accrual.
 If the formula is used for benefits administration, you select the
formula in the Rules field of the appropriate benefits 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.
IDC/ADMM page 16

1.6 Defining Formula
Processing And Result
Rules
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Basic -> Formula result
1.6.1 DFR Introduction
1. Use the Formula Result Rules window to associate one or more formula
processing rules with an element.
2. 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.
3. Also use this window to define how each formula result is used by the payroll
run.
1.6.2 DFR To Associate Processing Rules With Elements:
5. Set your effective date to the start date for the processing rule.
6. Select the element for which you are entering rules. The element's
description and classification automatically display.
7. In the Processing Rules region, select Standard and the regular formula for
the element. If you have other formulas for this element, select them and the
assignment statuses you want to associate with them.
Note: If you select a formula with inputs that do not match the element, you
will receive a warning message, but you can still save your rule. Remember
to update the formula before running the payroll.
8. Save your entries.
1.6.3 DFR To Define Formula Result Rules For Each
Processing Rule:
9. Click on a processing rule to select it.
10. In the Formula Results region, select a formula result name from the list of
results specified when the formula was written.
11. Select the appropriate formula result type. There are five possible types:
 Direct result: This is the element's run result.
 Indirect result: This result passes as an element entry to another
nonrecurring element not yet processed.
IDC/ADMM page 18

 Message: The formula issues messages under certain conditions. For
example, a formula can check a loan repayment balance and, if the
balance is zero, issue the message "Loan is repaid." You read formula
messages using the View Run Messages window.
 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.)
 Update recurring entry: This result updates recurring entries of this
or another element. The receiving element must be defined with
multiple entries not allowed unless you are passing a recurring
element's entries to itself, that is updating another entry of the same
element.
12. If you select Indirect Result, Stop, or Update Recurring Entry as the formula
result type, select the name of the element and input value to which you
want to pass the formula result. This element must have a processing priority
causing it to process after the element sending the result.
13. If you select Message as the formula result type, select a message severity
level. There are three choices:
 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.
 Information: A message with this level of severity simply gives
information.
1.6.4 DFR Correcting And Updating Processing Rules
When you add a formula result it takes on the effective end date of its processing
rule. Any date effective changes you make to existing processing rules can affect
formula results as follows:
 Update: If you update a processing rule or give it an effective end
date, all the rule's currently effective and future-dated formula results
automatically get identical end dates.
 Correction: If you correct a processing rule, all its currently effective
and future-dated formula results remain unchanged.
 Future delete: If you delete all future changes scheduled for a
processing rule, this also deletes any future changes scheduled for the
rule's formula results.
IDC/ADMM page 19

1.7 CES Define Element
Links
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Basic -> Link
Use the Element Link window to define groups of assignments that are eligible for
an element.
1.7.1 DEL To Define An Element Link:
2. Set your effective date to the date you want the eligibility criteria to come
into effect.
3. In the Element Name field, select the Element for which you are defining a
link.
4. Check the Standard check box if you want all employees who are made
eligible by the link to receive the element automatically.
5. You can only create a standard link if the element is recurring and multiple
entries are not allowed by the element definition.
6. In the Eligibility Criteria region, select the assignment components that
constitute this eligibility rule. If you want to link to all employees, do not
enter any eligibility criteria.
You can link to all payrolls or to a specific payroll. Do one of the following:
 Leave the Payroll field blank and check the Link to all Payrolls check
box if you want employees assigned to any payroll to be eligible. This
rule excludes employees who are not assigned to a payroll.
 Select the name of a specific payroll if you want only employees on that
payroll to be eligible for the element. Do not check the Link to all
Payrolls check box.
 Leave both fields blank if assignment to a payroll is irrelevant to
eligibility for the element.
1.7.2 DEL To Enter Costing Information For The Link:
7. Select the Constable Type. The default is Not Costed, meaning that the
system maintains no costing information for the element.
 To allow entry of costing information at all levels, including the
assignment and element entry levels, select Costed. This is the
appropriate selection for most elements representing earnings types.
 If you want all entries of the element to be allocated to the same
account, select Fixed Costed.
 If you want to distribute overhead costs (such as employer
contributions to a pension plan) over other elements, select Distributed.
Then select a Distribution Set.
IDC/ADMM page 21

8. Check the Transfer to GL check box if the payroll run results from this link
should be transferred to the general ledger.
9. 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 DEL To Enter Qualifying Conditions For The Link:
10. Go to the Qualifying Conditions region. Here you can add or change age or
length of service requirements for this particular eligibility rule.
The system checks these conditions when you make an entry of the element.
If the employee does not meet the qualifying conditions, you receive a
warning.
1.7.4 DEL To Adjust Input Values For The Link:
11. Save your link definition and choose the Input Values button to display the
Link Input Values window.
12. Enter a new default or change one entered at the element level
13. Check the Costed box to maintain costing information for an input value.
14. Change the maximum, minimum or both for an input value. Logically, the
new values should be within the range you defined for the element as a
whole. However the system does not enforce this.
IDC/ADMM page 22

1.8 CES Defining An
Absence Type
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Basic -> Absence Types
Use the Absence Attendance Type window to define an absence type and associate
it with an element to hold the absence balance.
1.8.1 DAT To Define An Absence Type:
2. Enter a name and category for the absence type.
3. In the Associated Element region, select the element defined for this absence
type. The name of the element's input value that holds the time taken or
time remaining for this absence type appears in the Input Value field, and the
unit of measure for the input value appears in the Units region.
4. In the Balance region, select Increasing for each entry to the absence
element's input value to add to a running total of time taken to date for this
absence type. Select increasing balances for absence types for PTO accrual
plans, and for most other absence types.
For absence types that have a set maximum amount of hours or days
allowed, you may select Decreasing. In this case, each absence recorded
reduces an initial balance entered for the absence type, to show time
remaining to be taken for the type.
Decreasing balances require more maintenance. You must enter an initial
balance amount for each new hire eligible for the absence type, and must
initialize the balance for all eligible employees at the start of each year.
5. Optionally, select reasons that are valid for entries of this type of absence.
6. Save the absence type.
IDC/ADMM page 24

1.9 CES Deleting Element
Entries
Navigation Path : Fast Path -> Entries
1.9.1 DEE To Delete A Nonrecurring Element Entry:
1. Set your effective date to any date within the payroll period for which the
entry exists.
2. Click on the entry to select it, choose Delete Record, and save.
1.9.2 DEE To Delete A Recurring Element Entry:
2. Set your effective date to any date within the payroll period for which the
entry exists.
3. Click on the entry to select it and choose Delete Record.
4. Choose Purge in the dialog box that displays, and save.
Note: Your ability to purge element entries is controlled by the user profile option
HR: Purge Element Entry Permission, which is set by your system administrator.
You may be able to purge all element entries, entries of information elements only,
or none.
1.9.3 DEE Deleting Processed Entries
 You can delete an element entry that the payroll run has processed.
You receive a warning message. This does not remove the payroll run
results so you can consult these for a complete record of payroll
processing and payments.
 To reprocess corrected element entries from the past, run the retropay
processes.
IDC/ADMM page 26

1.10 CES Define Balances
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Basic -> Balance
1.10.1 DB Introduction
1. Oracle Payroll has many predefined balances installed with the system. You
can define other balances.
2. 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.
3. You define balances in the Balance window.
1.10.2 DB To Define A User Balance:
1. Follow the Navigation Path.
IDC/ADMM page 27

 Enter a unique name and a reporting name for the new balance. If you
do not provide a reporting name, the first seven characters of the
balance name appear on reports.
 Query any user balances you want to change.
3. Enter the unit of measure for the balance. The choices are days, hours (listed
in different formats), integer, money and number. If you select money as the
unit you must also select a currency.
Do not select the Use for Remuneration check box. This displays which
predefined balance is the Remuneration balance. Only one balance within a
legislation can have this value.
4. Go to the Balance Feeds window or to the Balance Classifications window.
IDC/ADMM page 28

1.10.3 DB In The Balance Feeds Window:
5. Set your effective date to the start date for the balance feeds.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Select Add or Subtract for the balance feed.
IDC/ADMM page 29

1.10.4 DB In The Balance Classifications Window:
9. 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.
1.10.5 DB In The Balance Dimensions Window,
10. select the dimensions you require.
IDC/ADMM page 30

You can remove any dimension previously selected for a user-defined
balance. You can also add dimensions to the startup balances included with
your system, and later remove these additional dimensions. However, you
cannot remove the dimensions that were predefined for the startup balances.

If you are using predefined elements, go to step 4, otherwise go to step 2.
2.2.3 DSB Without Predefined Elements
3. Select a pay basis, for example, Annual or Hourly.
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.
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.

7. Select a grade rate to associate with the salary basis, if required.
Oracle HRMS uses the grade rate to validate your salary proposals. You
receive a warning if the salary you enter for an employee is not within the
grade rate range defined for the employee's grade.
In doing this check, the system takes account of the hours in the employee's
standard work week. It compares the hours on the employee's assignment
with those entered for their organization.
If the employee works fewer than the standard hours per week for the
organization, the system pro-ratas the permissible minimum and maximum
grade rate values before validating the salary.
8. Select the grade rate basis (Hourly, Monthly, Annual, or Period) for the rate if
you selected a grade rate. For example, if your grade rate specifies the valid
monthly salary ranges for each grade, select Monthly Salary in the Grade

1. Choose the Element Selection button if you want to check or verify element
entries for the QuickPay run. All the elements for the assignment that exist as
of Date Earned are listed in the Element Selection window. Select or clear the
Include in Run check box for elements you want to include or exclude from
the run.
IDC/ADMM page 64

2. You can choose the Entry Values button to view entry values for each
element.
You cannot create, update or delete entries or entry values in the Element
Selection and Entry Values windows. You can only select or clear the Include
check box for entries.
3. Choose the Start Run button to run the QuickPay process.
You run QuickPay from the QuickPay window, not from the Submit Requests
window. You can view the status of the run in the View Requests window. If
necessary, you can then mark it for retry or roll it back either from the
QuickPay window or the Payroll Processes window.
When the run is processed, the Status and Number fields in the QuickPay Run
block display values for the run as follows:
 Number: Numbering is consecutive, starting from 1, for each QuickPay
run in a payroll period. There is a separate series for each separate
payroll. The numbering restarts from 1 for each successive period.
IDC/ADMM page 65

 Status: Values displayed for processed QuickPay runs are Complete, In
Error, Mark for Retry. You cannot enter or update values directly in this
field. Choose the Retry Run button to rerun the QuickPay process for
runs with the status In Error or Marked for Retry.
IDC/ADMM page 66

4.8 P Data Costed At The
Organization And
Assignment Levels
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:
 Cost centers with specified labor costs table:
Proportion Seg. 1 Cost Center
50% 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.
IDC/ADMM page 67

 Employee labor distribution table:
Proportion Seg. 3 Labor Dist. Code
80% H201
20% H202
Notice that assignment level entries are datetracked, so you can enter
changes ahead of time.
IDC/ADMM page 68

2. In the RetroPay Set window, enter a name and a description for the RetroPay
set you are creating. Save this information before moving to the next block.
3. Select the balance in which the RetroPay process will create new values. For
example, this could be Gross Pay to Date. You can select more than one
balance. However, for RetroPay by Run the balance dimension must always
be ASG_RETRO_RUN.
For RetroPay by Aggregate, if you plan to run the process over several past
payroll periods, check that you are not going to go through an end of year or
similar period where balance totals are reset to zero. If necessary, adjust the
balance dimension span to ITD.
4. Select the RetroPay element you have defined to receive the values of the
updated balance.
5. Select an input value for the element. Normally this will be Pay Value.

4.12 P Defining Global Values
Navigation Path : Total Compensation -> Basic -> Global Values
4.12.1 DGV Introduction
1. Use global values to store information that does not change often, but you
refer to frequently, as for example Company Name, or company-wide
percentages used in the calculation of certain bonuses.
2. You can use global values as variables in formulas by simply referring to the
global value by name.
3. You can never change a global value using a formula. You change global
values in the Globals window. Global values are datetracked so you can make
date effective changes ahead of time.
4. Global values are available to all formulas within a Business Group.
4.12.2 DGV To Define A Global Value:
2. Set your effective date to the date when you want to begin using the global
value.
3. Enter a name, data type (number, text, or date), and value. You can also

to take effect.
3. Enter the table name.
4. For the table's match type, select Match or Range. Select Match if each row is
for one item, such as one job or one code. Select Range if each row is for a
range of numeric values, such as an age range or a pay range.
5. If the match type is Match, select Date, Number or Text as the Key Units of
Measure, depending on whether entries in the rows are dates, numbers, or
alphanumeric text.
If the table's match type is Range, the Key Units of Measure automatically
becomes Number.
6. Enter the row label as the Row Title.
For example, if the table rows refer to rate codes, an appropriate row title
would be Rate Code. If the rows refer to age ranges, you might use the title
Age Range.
IDC/ADMM page 73

7. Save your work, and choose the Columns button to go to the Columns
window.
IDC/ADMM page 74

4.13.2 STCR To Set Up Columns:

IDC/ADMM page 78

4.15 P Creating An
Assignment Set
Navigation Path : Payroll -> Assignment set
4.15.1 CAS There Are Three Uses Of Assignment Sets In
Oracle HRMS:
1. You can run a QuickPaint report for a set of assignments, rather than
individual assignments.
2. 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.
3. You can use a BEE concurrent process to create an identical batch line for
each assignment in an assignment set.
4.15.2 CAS There Are Three Ways To Define The Set:
1. 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.
2. You can select individually all the assignments you want to include in the set.
3. 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.
IDC/ADMM page 79

4.15.3 CAS To Define A Set By Including Or Excluding
Assignments:
2. Enter a unique name for the set.
3. If you are defining a set for payroll processing, select a Payroll.
4. Save the new set.
5. Choose the Amendment button.
 If you want to create a small set of assignments, select Include in the
Inc/Exc field and select all the assignments for the set.
 If you want to start from the full set of assignments for the payroll or
Business Group, select Exclude in the Inc/Exc field and select
assignments to remove from the set.
7. Save your set.
IDC/ADMM page 80

4.16 P Defining Consolidation
Sets
Navigation Path : Payroll -> Consolidation
You must always select a consolidation set before starting a payroll run. This is
because the consolidation set provides essential labelling for each payroll run. This
applies even if you are only processing one payroll or one assignment set.
When you have defined a consolidation set, it is then available for selection when
you start a payroll run.
You define consolidation sets in the Consolidation Sets window.
4.16.1 DCS To Define A Consolidation Set:
9. Enter the name of a new consolidation set and save.
4.16.2 DCS To Delete A Consolidation Set:
1. Query the consolidation set.
2. Choose Edit, Delete Record.
You can only delete a consolidation set if it is not the default set for a payroll
and if it is not associated with any payroll processes.
IDC/ADMM page 81

5. Processes and Reports
5.1 PR Overview
use PROCESSES AND REPORTS
1. Submit Processes and reports
2. View Request
IDC/ADMM page 82

5.2 PR Submit Processes
And Reports
Navigation Path : Processes And Reports -> Submit Processes And Reports
There are two types of request:
 Single request : This allows you to submit an individual request.
 Request set : This allows you to submit a predefined set of request.
5.2.1 SPR Submitting A Request
Standard Request Submission gives you control over how you run your requests
and request sets. This section describes how you customize and submit a request
using the Submit Request window.
There are three elements to submitting a request. Selecting the request or request
set to be submitted, defining a submission schedule, and providing completion
options.
 Selecting the request or request set may require you to provide request
parameters and the output language.
 Defining a schedule can be as simple as submitting as soon as possible
or using a more complex schedule that you define when you first
submit your request and may be used for other requests in the future.
 Completion options allow you to deliver request output to others and
specify which printers and how many copies of the output you want to
produce for each request.
You can submit as many requests as you like from the Submit Request window.
You can even submit a request more than once if you want to run the same request
with different parameter values.
Refer to the user's guide of your Oracle Applications product to learn how to access
the Submit Request window from your application.
The following flow diagram outlines the steps required to submit a request.
IDC/ADMM page 83

To Submit A Request:
2. Check the Request option to submit single requests.
3. Choose
OK.
IDC/ADMM page 84

Submitting Requests
4. Use the Copy... button to take advantage of previously entered request
submissions.
5. Select the Name of the request (report or program) you want to run from the
list of available requests.
Your responsibility's request group determines which requests appear in the list.
Defining Parameters
6. A Parameters window automatically appears if you select a request that
requires parameter values and your profile option Flexfields: Open Descr
Window is set to Yes. The prompts in the Parameters window are specific to
the request you select. The example in the figure below requires the
parameters Application Name and Responsibility Name.
IDC/ADMM page 85

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.
Determining Output Language
8. 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.
Defining a Submission Schedule
IDC/ADMM page 86

The scheduling window provides you with several scheduling options. You can
choose to re-use a schedule you previously defined and saved, or define a
new schedule. You can define your schedule to run a request as soon as
possible, at a specific time, or repeatedly at specific intervals, on specific
days of the week or month.
9. Choose Schedule... to open the Scheduling window.
IDC/ADMM page 87

10. Choose a type of schedule from the following:
Apply a Saved
Schedule
Allows you to re-use a previously defined and saved schedule. You
may modify the saved schedule for this one submission or save the
modified schedule with a new name for future use.
If you intend to use the saved schedule as defined, you can proceed to step 13.
As Soon as
Possible
Submits your request as soon as possible. If you choose this
schedule type, proceed to step 13.
Once Submits your request once at the time and date you specify.
Periodically Submits your request repeatedly at the interval you specify.
On Specific Days Submits your request repeatedly on specific days of the week or
month.
Advanced This option is reserved for future releases.
11. Many schedule types require additional information to complete the schedule.
Use the steps associated with your selected schedule type:
Once When you choose Once, a special time field appears that lets you
specify the time of day you want to submit your request. Use the
calendar by selecting the List of Values icon in the field to select a
date and time to submit your request.
Periodically 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.
Select the interval from the poplist and enter the number of intervals
between each submission of your request.
 Choose to count your interval from the beginning or completion of the
prior run.
IDC/ADMM page 88

 If your request contains date parameters, you can choose "Increment
date parameters each run" to have the value for that parameter be
adjusted to match the resubmission interval. For example, if the value
for the parameter is 25-JUL-1997 07:00:00 and your interval is
monthly, the parameter is adjusted to 25-AUG-1997 07:00:00 for the
next submission.
On Specific
Days
When you choose On Specific Days, new fields and calendars appear
that let you specify which day of the week and/or month to submit
your 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.
 Use the monthly calendar template to specify dates during the month
to submit your request. You can choose the date by clicking it. When
you select a date such as the 5th, your request is resubmitted on the
5th of each month until the end date is reached.
 Use the weekly template to specify which day of the week to schedule
your request.
You can select as many dates as you require.
12. To save your schedule, check the Save this schedule check box. You must
also provide a unique name for each schedule you save. Optionally, enter a
description of your schedule.
13. Choose OK.
Defining Completion Options
14. In the Upon Completion... region, use the Save all Output Files to write your
request output to a file. If you wish to view your output online, you must use
this check box.
15. Choose Options...
Oracle Applications automatically uses the default values determined by your
logon and profile options as listed below:
Logon Used as the default for the notification field.
Printer Determines the default printer.
IDC/ADMM page 89

Concurrent: Report
Copies
Used as the default for the number of copies for the printer
defined in the Printer profile option.
Concurrent: Save
Output
Determines whether to save your report output by default.
In some cases the defaults are determined by the program definition.
16. Specify additional people to notify, or replace your name if you do not want
to be notified.
17. Select a language for each person notified.
18. Select a print style from the poplist.
19. Use the LOV to select the printers you want used to produce a hard copy of
your report. Each printer will produce at least one copy of the report. If you
need more than one copy for a particular printer, use the Copies field to enter
the number of copies you want printed.
Some requests may have a required Style or Printer that you cannot change.
20. Choose OK.
21. When you are done specifying scheduling and completion options, choose
Submit.
Once you submit your request, the Requests window opens and provides you
with the current status of your request and the request ID number.
Oracle Applications assigns a request ID to each request submission so that
you can identify the results of the request when it is complete. You can use
the request ID to query for your request output in the Requests window.
Oracle Applications also assigns a new request ID number to each
resubmission of a request and displays the request ID in the log file of the
previous request.
22. If you wish to submit another request, simply repeat Steps 1 through 21. All
the requests that you submit for the current session appear in the Requests
window.
IDC/ADMM page 90

5.2.2 To Submit A Request Set:
1. Check Request Set in the Submit a New Request window and choose OK.
2. In the Submit Request Set window enter the name of the Request Set.
Alternatively, choose Copy a Prior Request button to use a previously defined
request set submission.
3. The requests assigned to the request set are displayed in the multi-row
region and may be modified for this request set submission.
 When you move your cursor to the Parameters field for a request,
Oracle Applications displays a Parameters window specific to that
report. If there are no parameters, then the field is disabled.
 When you finish entering the required parameter values for a request,
choose OK to close the window.
 If you wish to define completion options, open the Upon Completion...
window for each request and enter your completion options.
If you wish to view a request's output online, you must check the Save all
Output Files check box for that request in the Upon Completion... window.
4. Choose the Schedule window to define a schedule for this request set
submission.
5. When you submit a request set, Oracle Applications assigns a request ID to
the request set as well as to each request in the request set. The request ID
for each request is displayed in the output and log files of the request set.
Oracle Applications also assigns a new request ID to each resubmission of a
IDC/ADMM page 91

request set, and displays the request ID of the new request set in the log file
of the previous request set.
