Delivered Element Creation

All of the elements that are delivered as part of the country extension were created by means of the core application, the same application that you use to create additional elements and (in many cases) to configure existing elements that are delivered as part of Global Payroll. Because the tools that you need to redefine or create new payroll elements are fully documented in the core application product documentation, this information does not appear here. Instead, this guide briefly reviews the relationship between the core application (which contains the tools that you need to define your own elements) and the country extensions (which contain country-specific rules and elements that PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain defines).

The core application:

• Consists of a payroll rules engine.

  The payroll rules engine is a flexible tool that enables you to define the rules of a payroll system and to run 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 (country-specific payroll rules, elements, payroll processes, reports, pages, and self-service applications).
