How Country Extensions are Selected

Use the Features by Country or Territory task under Payroll in My Client Groups, to select the correct product for your legislations. The country extension setting ensures that certain payroll-related features, such as element templates, work correctly in your implementation.

By default, each country's extension is set to Human Resources orNone, which means no payroll product is selected. If you plan to use payroll or any predefined payroll interface extractsfor a country or territory, you must set its country extension to the appropriate payroll setting.

The options available for selection is given here.

• Payroll

• Payroll Interface

• Human Resources or None

For some countries or territories, the options available for selection may be restricted.

Setting the country extension to Payroll ensures that all payroll features function correctly. The other product settings you select control the functions of payroll-related features when you aren't using Global Payroll.

Payroll

The implications of setting the country extension to Payroll are as given here.

• When creating elements, the element templates generate formulas and other associated items that are required for costing or payment processing in Global Payroll.

• The new-hire process includes country-specific features, such as automatic generation of calculation cards for statutory deductions and validation of address formats.

• Payroll definitions require associated organization payment methods. You must select payment methods that include a payment source.

• Defining payment sources requires source banks in Oracle Fusion Financials.

Payroll Interface

The implications of setting the country extension to Payroll Interface is as given here.

• The element templates for creating regular and supplemental earnings elements generate associated objects, such as input values, formulas, and balances. These objects are required for including employee data in the Calculate Gross Earnings process.

  For all other elements, the simplified element templates create only the element and no associated objects.

• The new hire process includes country-specific validations.

• Validations on payroll objects are less restrictive to support sending employee bank information as follows:

  • No requirement for payment sources in organization payment methods

  • No dependency on source banks in Financials

Human Resources or None

The implications of setting the country extension to Human Resources or None is as given here.

• The element templates for creating standard earnings, supplemental earnings, direct payments, and taxable benefits elements with flat amount calculation rule generates the element definition and three input values, such as amount, periodicity and full time equivalent. This template for percentage calculation rule generates percentage input value and factor input value for factor calculation rule. It doesn't generate any other objects, such as fast formulas and balances.

• The element templates for creating the other elements generates only the elements and not the associated objects, such as input values, formulas, or balances.

  You can configure these elements to meet your specific business requirements, such as adding input values and formulas to a compensation element.

• Certain countries or territories have additional country-specific validation.

• Validations on payroll objects are less restrictive, as with the Payroll Interface setting.
