Delivered Elements for Argentina

Delivered Element Creation

All of the elements delivered as part of the country extension were created using the core application-the same application used to create additional elements and configure existing elements delivered as part of the Global Payroll system. Because the tools needed to redefine or create new payroll elements are fully documented in the core application documentation, the information is not discussed here. Rather, this document briefly reviews the relationship between the core application, which contains the tools you need to define your own elements, and the country extensions, which contain country-specific rules and elements defined by PeopleSoft.

The Core application:

• Consists of a payroll rules engine.

  The rules engine is a flexible tool that enables users to define the rules of their payroll system and perform payroll and absence calculations. Global Payroll does not embed payroll-specific logic or computations in application code. Instead, it specifies all business application logic (such as earnings, deductions, absences, and accumulators) in terms of payroll rules. Global Payroll enables you to enter and maintain payroll rules through a set of pages and offers comprehensive features that enable you to work in your preferred language or currency.

• Provides a payroll-processing framework.

  The payroll-processing framework provides a flexible way to define and run payroll and absence processing flows (such as calendars, run types, pay periods, and process lists).

• Country extensions:

  • Are built using the core application.

  • Consist of statutory and customary objects, such as country-specific payroll rules, elements, payroll processes, reports, pages, and self-service applications.

Element Ownership and Maintenance

The delivered elements of the Global Payroll country extension for Argentina are classified based on whether they are owned and maintained by the user or predefined in the PeopleSoft system. Some elements are predefined in the PeopleSoft system and cannot be modified or reconfigured. Others can be configured to meet requirements that are unique to a particular organization.
