Sending DIF Training Data to Global Payroll

This topic provides an overview of how the PeopleSoft system sends DIF training data to Global Payroll for processing.

When the payroll administrator saves the DIF training hours on the FRA Training Validation (GP) page, the system creates positive input for the current pay group, calendar, employee ID, and employee record number. This data triggers processing of one or more DIF entitlement (earning) elements in the next Global Payroll run. When the system generates positive input for a session cut, it sets the session cut status to Finalized on the FRA Training Validation (GP) and FRA Training Admin Validation components.

This table lists the in working hours DIF entitlement elements for which the system creates positive input:
