Defining Payslip Templates

List Set

Enter the set of element groups to be used in this template. The prompt table for the list set shows sets created with the application type defined on the Global Payroll Country setup page.

Default Delivery Address

Select a default delivery address for the payslip in the event that the payee does not have a delivery option defined at the employee level on the Payee Options page. Valid values are Mailing Address, Home Address, Department Address, and Location Address.

Start Line

Define the page line number on which to place the section. This number also serves to determine the order of the sections. The sections is sorted in ascending start line order when the page is saved.

A dynamic section can grow beyond the start position of a subsequent section. This means that the start line may not be accurate for sections defined after a dynamic section. All sections defined after the first dynamic section have relative start positions, except for Footer type sections. The footer's start line is an absolute line position. Start lines are calculated or recalculated at save time for all sections that have Recalculate Start Line selected.

Country

Enter the country associated with the section. The country of the template determines which sections can be selected. A country-specific template can include sections for that country as well as sections with a country identifier of ALL. However, a template country of ALL can include only sections defined with a country identifier of ALL.

For example, a template created for country FRA can include only sections for country FRA or ALL.

Section

Enter sections to appear on the payslip. Only active sections for the country selected are available. A section cannot be used more than once in the same template.

Number of Lines

Displays the number of lines as defined on the Section definition page. This field is display-only.

(Information icon)

Select to view the comments entered on the Define Payslip Sections page. The comments cannot be edited on this page. If no comments exist for this section, the button is not visible.

Style

Displays the style of the section. This field appears only when the section is defined as Static or Dynamic on the Define Payslip Section page. If the section is defined as Both, then choose either Static or Dynamic from the available options.

Type

Select a type to control whether a section is to be repeated on multiple pages. Valid values are Header, Body, and Footer. If a section is defined as a Header or Footer, you must set up the section differently when coding the payslip process program.

If a section is defined as a Header, it must be the first section in the template layout. If a section is defined as a Footer, it must be the last section in the template layout.

Sections that are headers or footers can have a style of Static only.

Recalculate Start Line

Select if you want the system to recalculate the start line of this section when a change is made to the template and the template is saved.

Recalculation establishes start lines using a formula that compares the number of lines in the section with the number of lines already used by previous sections.

Details

Select to go to the Blocks secondary page. This link is visible only if the section has Define Block Content for Section selected in its section definition.

Description

Select to go to the Section Definition page for the section. The country of the user determines whether the section page is opened in edit or display-only mode. An ALL country user can edit any country's section page. A specific country user can edit only his or her own country's section page, but can view an ALL country section page in display-only mode.
