Examples of Using Flow Interaction for QuickPay Flows
Let's look at some examples to understand how to specify flow interaction when you process a QuickPay after calculating QuickPay run results or prepayments.
Merge Flows after Calculating QuickPay
Scenario: While verifying payroll run results in your weekly payroll flow, you discover an error in the pay amount for an employee. You remove the person's record from the payroll run, so that you can continue processing the payroll. You investigate the problem and update the person's element entries on the Manage Person Details page. You select the Calculate QuickPay task from the Actions menu. You want to calculate the QuickPay and verify the results, and then process the combined QuickPay and payroll run for the Calculate Prepayments task.
On the Calculate QuickPay page, complete these steps to create the flow interaction.

Merge Flows after Calculating Prepayments
Scenario: Verify the results of your prepayments task for your biweekly payroll flow when you receive notification to process the pay for a new hire. You want to generate an EFT payment for the new hire rather than issue an external payment. In your enterprise, you archive payroll results before generating payments. Use the Calculate QuickPay task to start the QuickPay process, and interact with the biweekly payroll flow, as shown in the following table. Select the Use to Calculate Results option so that the biweekly payroll flow includes the results of the QuickPay process.
