Elements and Element Templates

Elements are created through predefined element templates, which provide the user with an intuitive user interface and manage the creation of different types of elements and their associated objects.

Availability of Element Template Functionality Based on Customer License

The features of element templates depends on type of license you have:

HR-Only: An HR-only customer gets access to the basic version of the element templates. These templates create the element and the customer needs to create the input values, formulas, balances to meet their business requirements.

Payroll Interface: A payroll interface customer gets access to a number of payroll features not available to a HR-only customer. This includes access to the full earnings element that creates the element, input values, formulas, balances. These earnings elements can be processed through the calculation to Gross process, which is also available to Payroll Interface customers. Any other types of element, such as deductions are created using the basic version of the element templates and the customer needs to create the input values, formulas, balances.

Payroll: A payroll customer gets access to all full set of earning and deduction templates. These templates create the element, input values, formulas, balances.

Note: To use elements in payroll, the new elements should be created only after the Oracle Product Usage is set to Payroll. This creates the full set of data that's required in payroll such as elements, input values, balances, formula.

You can set up the license info by navigating to Payroll Process Configuration task in FSM.
