Payroll Validations for Absence and Time Entries

You can upload and manage time and absence entries to the Oracle Payroll application from any of these source applications:

• Oracle Time and Labor or Oracle Absence Management application
• Any third-party absence or time collection application

When you are using a third-party absence or time collection application, use HCM Data Loader (HDL) to load this information to the Oracle Payroll: application:

• Load absence information using the AbsenceEntry.dat file.
• Load time information using the PayrollTimeCard.dat file.

Ensure you're using the correct business objects to load this information onto the Oracle Payroll application using the HDL. This helps you reconcile all absence and time entries processed by Oracle Payroll with the information held in the source application.

If you’re using Oracle Absence Management, the absence details are automatically transferred to payroll when an absence is approved. If you’re using Oracle Time and Labor, you can transfer time entries to payroll using the Load Time Card Batches process.

Note:

If you’re using the generic calculation card CalculationCard.dat file. to load absence or time into payroll, you must change your integration to use the absence and time files. Using these files helps reduce the errors you face using the generic calculation card business object to load this type of information.

A warning message displays when you load absence and time information using the generic calculation card file. A warning message is also displayed if you enter or update absence and time information on the classic calculation card page because this information should be managed in the source application to enable you to reconcile absence and time entries.

Note:

You are not impacted by this change if you import absence and time from a third-party system using standard element entries.
