Order of Setup

Many of the programs use data in tables that are populated by other programs. To most efficiently use the setup programs and the import function, Oracle recommends that you manually enter or import data in this order:

1. Set up address book records for your employees if they do not already exist.

2. Manually enter or import values for the Setup Payroll Category program.

   The codes that you enter in this program are used by the Employee Record Information program and the Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation program.

   Note:

   The Setup Payroll Category program is discussed in the Setting Up and Generating the CNAO Shared Information XML File chapter. The Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation program is discussed in this chapter.

3. Manually enter the data required in the Employee Record Information program (P75C008).

   The data that you enter in this program are used by the Employee Payroll Details - China program. The import functionality is not enabled for the Employee Record Information program.

4. Manually enter the data required in the Setup Payroll Elements program (P75C505).

   The data that you enter is used by the Setup Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation program and the Employee Payroll Details - China program. The import functionality is not enabled for the Setup Payroll Elements program.

5. Enter or import data required for the Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation program.

   This program uses data that was entered in the Setup Payroll Category program and the Setup Payroll Elements program, so you should enter data for those programs before attempting to enter data for the Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation program.

6. Enter or import data required for the Setup Payroll Periods program.

   The data that you enter or import is used by the Employee Payroll Details - China program.

7. Enter or import data required for the Employee Payroll Details - China program.

   Note: This program also enables you to use a special copy function. You should compare the copy function and the data import function to determine which method of entering or replicating data is most efficient for your organization.
