Prerequisite Payroll Setup for Importing Time Entries

Before you can import time card entries to process in a payroll run or extract for a third-party payroll provider, complete payroll setup tasks.

These tasks vary depending on your configuration, specifically whether your enterprise:

  • Uses Oracle Fusion Time and Labor or a third-party time provider

  • Uses Oracle Fusion Global Payroll or a third-party payroll provider

  • Requires workers to submit a time card if their pay is calculated using time entries

This figure and table lists the tasks that depend on each of these configuration choices.

Prerequisite tasks to perform for import of time cards

All configurations create elements for use with time cards. This table describes the remaining setup tasks and processes that vary based on your configuration.

Record costing overrides at the element entry level by having workers specify the account to charge on their time cards.

Note: If you enable costing overrides, ensure that you're using the segments that are enabled for element entry level costing in the Cost Allocation key flexfield.
