Element Entries Processing in Payroll Interface

In Oracle HCM Cloud, one or more of the implemented human resource modules may automatically generate element entries. For example, voluntary deduction element entries may be created automatically during Benefits implementation.

Entries from Benefits

Oracle Benefits Cloud creates voluntary deduction element entries, and the entries get date-effectively updated when changes occur in the employee's enrollment data. These entries also get automatically deleted when the employee backs-out of an enrollment.

The application extracts and consumes these date effective updates as a normal element entry would. However, when deletions happen, handle it through the generation of the deleted data report.

In such scenarios, generate the Deleted Data Report before you run the payroll interface. To make this output available to the application, perform the necessary deletions on the payroll interface before consuming the new set of entries.

Entries from Absences and Time and Labor

Generally, the Absences, and Time and Labor module post their entries into the Absences and Time Card calculation cards respectively. The interface doesn't process the entries for these calculation cards.

However, for some cases like absence pay out, element entries conforming to one of the below mentioned types could be made:

  • The payroll interface stores the rate at which the absences need to be paid. Only the duration to be paid in number of hours or days is passed through element entries. In such cases, name the input value that reports the duration as,

    • Hours: Delivered input value

    • Days: Delivered input value)

    • Number: If you have created a custom input value, name it as Number

  • Both the rate and duration of the absence that you want to pay out are passed through element entries. In such cases, name and report the input values as,

    • Rate of payment through the input value called Rate.

    • Duration of payment through the input value called Hours or Days or Number.

Note: Payroll interface won't process duration coming through any other input value names.
