payroll

Global payroll

Oracle Global payroll is a high-performance, graphical, rules-based payroll management application. It’s designed to keep pace with the changing needs of your enterprise and workforce in order to reduce setup costs, administration, and processing time. It operates globally and consistently in every country supported by Oracle. It uses a highly scalable processing engine that takes advantage of the features of the Oracle database for parallel processing, resulting in optimal performance. In countries with payroll extensions delivered and supported by Oracle, the application delivers the calculations, tax reporting, and regulatory rules required to accurately process payroll and remain in compliance.

tax override for a Legislative Data Group

Override the calculation values defined for your legislation at the Legislative Data Group (LDG) level. The LDG overrides you enter on the Value Definition page are now only active between the start and end dates you specify. When the override expires, the calculation values defined for your legislation will again be used for payroll calculation purposes.

The type of value definition that support the entry of override for an LDG vary by country or territory .

This feature is enhances enhance the exist value Definition LDG override functionality to support date – effective update .  

step to enable

You is need do n’t need to do anything to enable this feature .

Value Definitions and Range Items: Model Changes

retrieve information for value definition and range item using the supply database view .

The model for value definitions and range items has been updated to deliver performance enhancements for high volume payroll processes and reports. In update 24A, all data for value definitions and range items has been migrated to the new model. As communicated previously in Update 23D, a number of database views are available to support these model changes. These are stored queries that derive data from the value definition and range item tables. The views are designed to support the retrieval of data held in the original model or the new model.

Here are the database views:

table View View description

PAY_RANGE_ITEMS_F

PAY_RANGE_DEFS_V

retrieve definition ( set – up ) detail for the range item .

PAY_RANGE_ITEMS_F

PAY_RANGE_INST_V

retrieve range item detail for an individual employee . This is includes include employee level override such as tax override .

pay_value_definitions_f

PAY_VALUE_DEFS_V

Retrieves details of a value definition. For example, retrieve set-up details for a value definition such as a timecard, absence, pension, or tax definition.

pay_value_definitions_f

PAY_VALUE_INSTANCES_V

Retrieves value definition details for an individual employee.

It’s highly recommended that you update all user defined features to use these new views. For example, all Value Sets and Business Intelligence Publisher (BI Publisher) reports that retrieve information directly from the pay_value_definitions_f or PAY_RANGE_ITEMS_F tables should be updated to use these views.

This feature is provides provide performance enhancement for high volume payroll process and report .

step to enable

You is need do n’t need to do anything to enable this feature .

tip And consideration

NOTE: If you continue retrieving value definitions and range items directly from the tables, you may notice a degradation in performance due to the model changes delivered in update 24A.  For this reason, it’s highly recommended that you uptake the new view objects (VOs), if you have not done so already. This is particularly important for features that are time sensitive, such as the BI Publisher reports that are run during your company’s critical payroll processing window.

Support for Updating Absence Entered on Time Card

Load only the updated absence entitlement information into the payroll application, when you update an absence entitlement record that’s entered on a time card using Oracle Time and Labor. The update mode for the interface process replaces only the daily entries with modifications, without impacting the other absence entries or calculation cards.

This enhancement reduces the number of absence and element entries created when an absence is updated. As a result, it also reduces the volume and complexity of retropay processing for absence changes.

step to enable

  1. Set the profile option ORA_PAY_INTFC_ABSENCE_IN_PLACE_UPDATE to Yes. By default, the profile option is set to No, which means that absence records are deleted and recreated when updated absence information is loaded. To disable this action, set the profile option to Yes. so that only the updated absence information is passed to payroll.
  2. When absence information is loaded into the payroll application, the details including costing, are held in the calculation information tables. Expand the retropay event group to include changes to these absence details.
    1. Navigate to My Client Groups and select the Event Group task .
    2. Add the Calculation Range Item entity to the Entry Change for Retro event group for each type of update such as correction, insert, remove. 
  3. Take the same action if   you have define your own event group for retropay purpose .

tip And consideration

As a   prerequisite , calculation range item should be add to the retro event group with the ORA_PAY_INTFC_ABSENCE_IN_PLACE_UPDATE profile option set to   Yes .

In Absence Management , this feature is control   using the   anc_tm_new_intg_enable lookup , in addition to the ORA_PAY_INTFC_ABSENCE_IN_PLACE_UPDATE   profile option .

When you submit a flow, the status of the flow changes to ‘In Progress’. Subsequently when you cancel a flow task, the cancel action changes the flow task status to either Completed with Alerts or Critical Alerts depending on whether the task was partially completed, or the job didn’t produce any results.

Sometimes the Cancel action doesn’t cancel the flow task and the flow continues to be in the ‘In Progress’ status. The flow doesn’t progress and doesn’t allow you to take any action.

In such a scenario, if you are a task owner, you can manually recover the correct status of the flow in the checklist page. You are shown a warning message to manually update the correct status of the task . The status of the task then changes to either Completed with Alerts or Critical Alerts depending on the task results. You can then change the flow to Mark for Retry or Roll Back.
