Before you use this playbook, refer the 'How do I set up payroll flows' playbook on the Oracle Help Center to understand the basic concepts of payroll flows and how you can create flows to suit your business requirements.

This table gives you a list of the payroll flow pages and a high-level description of the ongoing tasks you can perform to submit and monitor your flows.

Submit a Flow

After you have created the flow pattern, use the Submit a Flow page to submit the flow. Navigate to Submit a Flow task from Quick Actions or under Payroll in My Client Groups.

Use the filter options and search for the flow you want to submit. Enter a unique name for the flow and use the appropriate sections on the page to enter flow parameters, schedule your flow, and link flows if required.

Checklist

A Checklist is generated for each submitted flow. The Checklist page provides a central point to monitor and manage all tasks within the flow. Use the Checklist to easily identify areas that require your attention, such as any tasks within your flow that have error messages.

Use the Actions menu on the Checklist page, to take an action on a flow, such as roll back a task or mark a manual task as complete. To view further information for a specific task, select the task and navigate to the Process Results Details page.

Once you resolve all issues, navigate back to the Checklist page to continue processing any remaining tasks within your flow.
