Payment Types

When creating an organization payment method, you select a payment type. You can create more than one organization payment method with the same payment type.

China supports these payment types:

  • Cash

  • Direct Deposit

Payment Sources

If you're using Oracle Fusion Global Payroll for China for payroll processing, you must define at least one payment source for each organization payment method. Each payment source must be associated with an active bank account in Oracle Fusion Cash Management.

Note: If you're costing your payments, enter cost account information on the Manage Costing of Payment Sources page in the Accounting Distribution work area.

Payment Rules and Default Payment sources

If you define multiple payment sources, you can use payment rules to determine the appropriate payment source based on tax reporting unit (TRU).

This example shows one organization payment method with three different payment sources for different TRUs.

Payroll Direct Deposit Source Beijing

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China

No

TRU2

No

The first payment source that you add is the default payment source, but you can select another payment source as the default, or not have a default payment source.

To understand the effect of having a default payment source, consider these examples that describe what happens when a TRU changes, causing a payment rule to be invalid.

Approach

Use Case

With a default payment source, the payment process pays employees using the default payment source.

This approach might suit a company with multiple independent franchises, each with its own TRU. If a franchise holder sells the franchise, payments don't fail.

Without a default payment source, the payments process issues error notifications to ensure that you use the appropriate payment source to fund the payment.

This approach might suit a company with strict policies about payment rule compliance.
