Select Country Extensions for India

Use the Features by Country or Territory task to select the correct product for each of your legislations. Ensure the appropriate features work correctly in your implementation.

The country extension setting ensures that certain payroll-related features work correctly in your implementation, such as element templates.

Here's how you can view and set the product extension:

1. Search for and start the Features by Country or Territory task.

2. Ensure that the Selected Extension value is correct for India legislation.

   Valid values for the selected extension parameter are:

   • Payroll

   • Payroll Interface

   • Human Resources or None

   The default extension is Human Resources or None, which means no payroll product is used. To use payroll or any predefined payroll interface extracts, you must set the extension to the appropriate payroll setting.

3. Make any necessary changes, and click Save.

4. Click Done.

Using Extension Parameter: Payroll

Here are some of the key aspects to consider when you set the country extension to Payroll:

• When creating elements, the element templates generate formulas and other associated items for costing or payment processing, when you process payroll.

• The New Hire process performs automatic actions, such as:

• • Creates a Statutory Deductions calculation card

  • Validates address formats

• Payroll definitions require associated organization payment methods. You must select payment methods that include a payment source.

• Defining payment sources requires source banks in Oracle Cloud Financials.

Using Extension Parameter: Payroll Interface

Here are some of the key aspects to consider when you set the country extension to Payroll Interface:

• The element templates for creating regular and supplemental earnings elements generate associated objects, such as input values, formulas, and balances. The Calculate Gross Earnings process requires these objects to include employee data.

  For all other elements, the simplified element templates create only the element and no associated objects.

• The New Hire process includes country-specific validation.

• Validations on payroll objects are less restrictive to support sending employee bank information as follows:

  • No requirement for organization payment methods in payroll definitions

  • No requirement for payment sources in organization payment methods

  • No dependency on source banks in Oracle Cloud Financials

Using Extension Parameter: Human Resources or None

Here are some of the key aspects to consider when you set the country extension to Human Resources or None:

• The element templates for creating earnings and deductions elements generate only the elements and no associated objects, such as input values, formulas, or balances.

  You can configure these elements to meet your specific business requirements, such as adding input values and formulas to a compensation element.

• Additional country-specific validation.

• Validations on payroll objects are less restrictive, as with the Payroll Interface setting.
