GPUS_RPT_SETUP

Define parameters used by the payroll report jobs.

For each United States-specific report created by means of the Report Data Generation process, you can:

  • Define a job name.

    The Application Engine program that prepares report data accesses the table PSPRCSRQST to retrieve the job in which it is run.

  • Associate the report data defined on the Define Report Data and Report Data Process Details pages with the job.

  • Associate each job with the list set defined for it on the Define List Set (GP_ELN_SET) component.

    List sets enable you to define groups of elements and their attributes to associate with an application such as a report or other process.

  • In addition, for tax reports, you can define the jurisdiction type (state or federal), and for payslips you can define temporary tables to store payslip data.

Note: The setup steps described here enable you to store information required by some reports or processes rather than hard-coding the data. Note that this setup is defined by job (Job Name) and not by process. This enables you to define generic processes that generate different results based on the job (a job is a set of processes).

Note: You are not required to complete these setup steps in all cases. These setup steps are an extension of the job process definition provided by PeopleTools. PeopleSoft Global Payroll for United States uses these steps to store additional information with each job definition. The setup steps and fields described here are not required: some jobs are defined without report data, and others are defined without applications or list sets.

Use the Define Payroll Reports USA page (GPUS_RPT_SETUP) to define parameters used by the payroll report jobs.
