Disable or Override the Printed Delivery Option for the Payslip

A delivery option defines where and how the report output is delivered, including the output file format, choice of template, and optionally a destination such as an FTP server.

A report category is a set of delivery options grouped together so that you can generate the report in more than one output format with a single submission of the report.

You can define your own delivery option and include it in a report category, or you can also disable the delivery option for the report.

Use the Payslip Reprinting Report if the count of employees getting the printed payslips is very less compared to the overall employee population. This helps in optimizing the processing time to generate the printed payslips. Disable the Printed Payslip delivery option if you don't plan to use it.

Override the Printed Delivery Option for the Payslip

Follow these steps to override an existing delivery option, example, the US Printed Payslip, and create and use a new delivery option. .

Override the printed payslip with a new delivery option using a custom data model only if the Payslip Reprinting Report doesn't filter the employees as required. You need to identify and filter employees who have opted for a printed payslip.

1. Create a delivery option as given in the previous section.

2. Set the Start Date and End Date of the new delivery option to the actual print dates.

3. Create a custom data model and report template. For more information on how to create the custom data model and report template, refer to 'Define the BI Publisher template in HCM Extracts' topic on the Oracle Help Center.

   For printing the payslip for a group of employees who have opted for the printed payslip, use the data set logic from the original payslip data model. Select the Payslip XML for the selected employees by filtering on source_type='PRA' from the pay_file_details table. For example, the SQL in the custom data model is as given here:

   select file_fragment

   from pay_file_details

   where source_type='PRA'

   and source_id = '<Get the employee_payslip_rel_action_id>'

   As an example, refer to the SQL in Payslip Bursting Data Model here, /Shared Folders/Human Capital Management/Payroll/Payment Distribution/Data Models/Payslip Bursting Data Model.

4. Select the Required check box to use the new delivery option instead of the one you're overriding.

5. Use the Overriding Delivery Mode field to select the delivery option you want to override.
