Working with QuickPay Flows
Create a QuickPay flow to include additional tasks as per your requirement. For example, create a QuickPay to Payslip flow to process QuickPay and prepayments, and then generate the payslip to make payments.
Use the Payroll Flow Patterns quick action under Payroll from My Client Groups on your Home page, to create a flow and add the requisite tasks to the flow as per your requirement.
Flow Pattern Type
When you create your own QuickPay flow, use the Flow Pattern Type field on the flow setup page to set the flow as either of these:
- QuickPay
- QuickPay with Parameters
Select the QuickPay with Parameters option if you include tasks that have additional parameters other than those available on the delivered QuickPay Submission page.
The parameters available to you is dependent on the tasks you include in the QuickPay flow. For example, you must include the payment-related tasks of prepayments, check payments, or EFT payments for the QuickPay Submission page to display payment-related parameters of payment methods, payment source, and so on.
Actions Menu
When you select QuickPay or QuickPay with Parameters option as the Flow Pattern Type for a flow, the flow is available for you to set as the default flow.
The Calculate QuickPay task defaults to the QuickPay Simplified flow. Use the Actions menu on the QuickPay Submission page to select and submit an alternate QuickPay flow to the one defaulted by the Calculate QuickPay task. Select a flow that you want to submit without navigating away from the QuickPay Submission page.
Parameter Input Page
If any of the added tasks in your QuickPay flow have additional parameters other than that included on the QuickPay Submission page, select the QuickPay with Parameters option on the flow setup page.
When you set this user-defined flow as your default flow and submit the flow, the application automatically displays the Parameter Input page first for you to define the additional task parameters. The QuickPay Submission page displays subsequently.
Key Parameters
When you set up a user-defined flow as a QuickPay flow, set these two parameters as the key parameters for the flow:
- Effective Date
- Payroll Relationship
If you don’t set these two parameters as the key parameters, the flow setup fails and generates an error.
Flow Status
Set the flow as Active. Flows that are inactive, hidden, or created at an LDG-level aren’t listed on the QuickPay submission page for you to select. You can only select and submit enterprise-level flows.
Process Configuration Group
- If you don’t make a selection, the process configuration group value defaults to what you have set using the ACTION_PARAMETER_GROUPS profile option.
- However, if you haven’t set the profile option and the field is left blank, then it defaults to the default group for the QuickPay process.
Enable Logging
If you use a process configuration group that has logging enabled, the QuickPay submission page displays a message to indicate that logging is enabled. The name of the process configuration group is displayed on the UI. Click on the process configuration group name to access the Process Configuration Group UI and view the details of the parameter and make changes if required.
When you enable logging and submit a flow, the application creates files to capture the process parameters. Use these files to troubleshoot your process.
For more information on enabling logging, refer the 'Enable Logging in Payroll Flows' topic on the Oracle Help Center.
