Understanding Element Override Configurations
Global Payroll enables you to configure the following delivered pages:
Element Detail page (accessible through the Element Assignment By Payee component and the Payee Assignments by Element component, commonly known as the "earning/deduction assignment" pages).
Positive Input - Details page (accessible through the One Time (Positive Input) component and the Manage Positive Input by Cal component).
You can use the pages as delivered, or:
Modify them by changing the labels, prompt tables, translate values, and yes/no values to better suit the element you want to override.
Create an entirely new page and component to replace the Element Detail page. This gives you additional flexibility to define fields, page labels, prompts, and other page elements.
You create an alternate page and component just as you would any other component in PeopleSoft—by using PeopleSoft Application Designer.
See PeopleTools: Application Designer Developer's Guide product documentation.
Two setup components enable you to modify the element override pages. More specifically, through the Configuration by Element and Configuration by Category components, you can:
Replace the Element Detail page (for earning/deduction assignments) with an alternate component of your own creation (to handle the overrides of loans, garnishments, and bonds, for example).
Modify the Element Detail page (for earning/deduction assignments) and the Positive Input - Details page (for positive input), with a page that enables you to:
Define group box labels for the supporting element overrides.
Indicate what supporting element overrides a user can enter.
Indicate if a field is required.
Indicate any prompts, yes/no values, and translate values that apply, for each supporting element override.
Define supporting element override labels.
The following table lists the element override pages that you can modify or replace, and describes the changes that you can make to each:
