Prerequisite Tasks for Payroll Setup for Mexico

You may have already done some of these tasks because other HCM applications require them. Revisit tasks to address payrollspecific tasks, such as creating tax reporting units.
If these prerequisite tasks haven't been completed, you can find them within Define Common Applications Configuration for Human Capital Management:
