Configure Payload Rules

Select data components and attributes for HCM extracts batch mode integration to configure Oracle HCM Cloud data integrated with ADP Workforce Now.

Here's what you can do:

  • Choose the payload content for batch processing flow, and also the mandatory and optional attributes that are applied for the flow.

  • Include or exclude specific data elements for a given entity. For example, you can exclude Middle Name from the payload, if it isn't required or consumed for processing payroll in ADP Workforce Now.

  • Define available filters to include specific data in the payload. For example, you can select Home Address to be excluded from the payload to ADP Workforce Now.

Define the payload rules to select the objects and their attributes in a payload that you want to send to ADP Workforce Now. The source template, the HCM Extracts template, defines the objects and their attributes that are available for your selection. The Legislative Data Group associated with these rules defines and includes the legislation-specific content in the payload.

Use the Payload Rules task under HCM Extracts to perform these tasks.

  • Include or exclude an object from the payload for batch processing flow

  • Identify mandatory attributes for objects that are included

  • Identify available filters for objects that are included in the payload

The Payload Rules page lists all the available rules defined in the application. You can also create a rule set for an LDG.

Here's how you can create a rule set.

  1. Click Add on the Payload Rules page.

  2. Provide a name for the payload rule set. This name will appear in the flow parameter for user selection.

  3. Choose a legislative data group for which the rules are defined.

  4. Select the template that lists the objects and attributes for Payroll Interface for ADP Workforce Now. When the template is loaded, you will find a list of default objects and attributes that are available in the template.

    You can find the Business Objects in the left pane and the Attributes for the selected objects in the right pane.

    • You can select the Business Objects you want to include in the data that you send to ADP Workforce Now.

      • The application sends the Batch Payload that includes the objects you select to be included in the HCM Extracts to the Payroll Interface for ADP Workforce Now. ADP Workforce Now requires these objects for successful payroll processing of the employees in payroll.

    • Select the Attributes that are available in each business object as Required. The mandatory attributes are selected by default and shown in a non-editable mode. If you select an attribute to be Required, the data is sent to ADP Workforce Now even if the attribute has no value. You can also include attributes in your payload by selecting the Include check box.

    • Select the relevant objects and attributes through specific Object Groups. For example, you can select Home Address to only include home address in the payload sent to ADP Workforce Now. Likewise you can deselect objects and attributes which are not relevant.

  5. Click Save.
