User-Defined HCM Extracts in Payroll Flows

Use a report to review and verify the payroll run results of a process before you can use the run results information for further down-stream processing.

To review and verify payroll run results, you can use a predefined HCM Extract Report using any of these options:

• Run as an independent task
• Include in a flow
• Connect to a flow using flow connectors

When you associate a predefined HCM Extract to a flow, the HCM extract definition determines the payroll actions and corresponding run result information that's included in the report.

When you copy a predefined, extract-based report, the copied report creates a new flow task and associated flow pattern. The flow task for the copied report doesn't include details of the payroll actions and run results included in the report in a format that can be used by flow connector rules.

• The copied report creates a new flow task and associated flow pattern.
• The flow task for the copied report doesn't include details of the payroll actions and run results included in the report in a format that can be used by flow connector rules.
• Select the appropriate payroll run results in the flow pattern to get the desired flow connector results for all copied or user-defined HCM extract tasks.

Include Run Results in a User-Defined HCM Extract Report

When you include a HCM extract report in a flow, use the Report Result Type field to select the type of payroll results you want to include in your user-defined extract report.

For example, the predefined Gross-to-Net Report generates output based on the results of payroll calculations and QuickPays. If you copy the predefined Gross-to-Net Summary Archive HCM Extract and create a flow pattern, you must select Payroll Calculation Results in the Report Result Type field on the Run Gross-to-Net Report flow task. This ensures that the copied Gross-to-Net report generates an output based on your connector rules.

The Report Result Type column is available on the Tasks table of the Payroll Flow Patterns UI.

Note: The Report Result Type column is hidden by default, use the Column menu to display this column on the Tasks table.

When you select the report result type for your user-defined extract, the application consolidates all the relevant payroll run results that have a process date between the Process Start and Process End dates and belong to the associated flow pattern.
