Overview of the Payment Process
Here's how the payment process works:
1. You create a payrun document.
Each payrun document has a name and is for a specific pay period. You can create multiple payrun documents for a pay period.
2. You create payment worksheets for each salesperson in the pay run.
Use the Default Entries button to create payment worksheets for all salespeople assigned to valid compensation plans during the pay period.
3. You submit the Payrun document for payment when all payment details are finalized.
Oracle Sales Compensation freezes all balances, submits all payment information to the Payment Table, and creates journal entries by batch name. Typically payment submission should be done by only one person, such as the compensation manager. No further changes can be made once the payrun document is posted on the worksheet. Account balances are rolled forward to the next payrun.
Figure 10 - 2 illustrates the payrun process.
For example, Pat Jones is a recently hired salesperson at Globe Computers and his second sales compensation payment needs to be calculated for June. Because he earned very little in the previous pay period, Globe Computers gave him a recoverable draw of $500 for that period.
