Calculation Entries

The Calculation Entries page consolidates all the payroll entries for an employee within a single page.

You can view the earnings and deductions processed for an employee for a payroll period and the enabled calculation cards using the links provided on the page.

Note: Enable the profile options HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED and PAY_PAYROLL_ADMIN_RESPONSIVE_ENABLED to view the new responsive Calculation Entries page.

You can view element categories such as Standard Entries, Time, and Absence on the Calculation Entries page. To view other calculation cards, you must configure them as per your localization. These additional cards are accessible depending on whether data has been transferred or localizations have enabled them such as Time and Absence related information.

view the following additional reserved input values in the Standard Entries section of the Calculation Entries page:
  • Primary Input
  • Percentage
  • Hours
  • Days
  • Units
  • Rate

You can Add, Update, Correct, and Delete entries from the Standard Entries element category. You can also add and amend costing information from this page and view the history of an element entry. There are also date range options available to change the selection of element entries that are viewable.

Use the Creator Type field to identify the origin of an element entry on the collapsed Standard Entries page. For example, an entry displayed on the page can be a Salary Proposal, Element Entry, Balance Adjustment, and so on. View the Time and Absence Entries region to identify if an entry has been processed or not processed by a QuickPay or Payroll process.

Calculation card information such as taxation and involuntary deductions can be accessed with the provided links. Some Calculation Cards such as Absence and Time, are read-only, while other calculation cards such as taxation are editable. You can also create a new card from the Calculation Entries page using the actions drop down. For example, in the UK localization, you can create a new Court Order entry from the Calculation Entries page.
