Considerations for User-Defined HCM Extracts in Payroll Flows
Use a report to review and verify the payroll run results of a process before you can use the run results information and initiate further down-stream processing.
For example, use the predefined Run Payroll Activity Report to verify, validate,and audit run results before you process any payments.
Predefined HCM extract payroll reports are available for you to:
-
Run as an independent task
-
Include within a flow pattern
-
Connect to a flow pattern using flow connectors
When you associate a predefined HCM Extract to a flow, the HCM extract definition determines the payroll actions and corresponding run result information that's included in the report.
Copied HCM Extracts
When you copy a predefined, extract-based report, the copied report creates a new flow task and associated flow pattern. The flow task for the copied report doesn't include details of the payroll actions and run results included in the report in a format that can be used by flow connector rules.
You must select the appropriate payroll run results in the flow pattern to get the desired flow connector results for all copied or user-defined HCM extract tasks.
How Can I Include Run Results in a User-Defined HCM Extract Report
When you include a HCM extract report in a flow, use the Report Result Type field to select the type of payroll results you want to include in your user-defined extract report. The Report Result Type column is available on the Tasks table of the Payroll Flow Patterns UI.
For example, the predefined Gross-to-Net Report generates output based on the results of payroll calculations and QuickPays. If you copy the predefined Gross-to-Net Summary Archive HCM Extract and create a flow pattern, you must select Payroll Calculation Results in the Report Result Type field on the Run Gross-to-Net Report flow task. This ensures that the copied Gross-to-Net report generates an output based on your connector rules.
When you select the report result type for your user-defined extract, the application consolidates all the relevant payroll run results that have a process date between the Process Start and Process End dates and belong to the associated flow pattern.
For more information on the type of run results to include in a copied report, refer to Combined Payroll Run Results topic in the Help Center.
