Secure Costing of Elements and Costing for Persons

Use the Enable Element Security in Element Eligibility Costing and Person Costing feature to secure the following:

• Costing of Elements
• Costing for Persons by Elements

Once enabled, the elements you can cost are restricted by your element security profile.

Costing of Elements

Once enabled, the Costing of Elements page displays elements that you have access to view and manage based on your data role and security profile privileges.

Person Costing

Use the Costing for Persons quick action under Payroll to cost elements for persons by payroll relationships or assignments. When you add a payroll relationship, the elements you can view and cost on the page are restricted by your element security profile.

Run Feature Upgrade Flow

To enable this feature you must use the Run Feature Upgrade Flow and select the Enable Element Security in Element Eligibility and Person Costing feature on the flow submission page, and submit the flow.

This is a one-time upgrade and once done, you can’t revert the upgrade process.

Change User-Defined Job Roles

When you enable this feature you must also add this Manage Costing of Element aggregate privilege to your user-defined job roles or any new job roles that you create.

• ORA_PAY_MANAGE_COSTING_OF_ELEMENT

This aggregate privilege is delivered to include both functional privilege and new data security. This aggregate privilege is granted to these predefined roles:

• Payroll Implementation Duty
• Payroll Implementation View Duty

Make the following changes depending on how your job roles are implemented:

• If you use the delivered job roles or one of the above-mentioned duty roles that inherit the aggregate privilege, you don’t have to take any further action.
• If you have either user-defined job roles or duty roles that have the functional privilege, Manage Costing of Element (PAY_MANAGE_PAYROLL_ELEMENT_CRITERIA_COSTING_PRIV), you must remove it and grant the aggregate privilege, (Manage Costing of Elements - ORA_PAY_MANAGE_COSTING_OF_ELEMENT). Without this step, you will not be able to access any elements within the costing pages.
  Note: Security changes are not necessary for Manage Costing for Persons.
