Create an Earnings Element

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

The template engine gets a set of rules from the template and processes the predefined template structure to create appropriate data.

The following steps show how to create a regular earnings element for standard earnings:

1. Sign in to the Oracle Fusion application using a role that has the profile of a Payroll Manager.
2. Select the Elements task in the Setup and Maintenance or Payroll Calculations work area and click Create.
3. Select a legislative data group and a primary classification, then click Continue.
4. Complete the fields, and then answer the questions.
   Note: The questions and default answers shown here are based on the predefined core element template for earnings. Your answers drive the definition of the earnings element to be created.
5. Click Next, and complete the rest of the questionnaire.
6. Verify the information and click Submit to create the new element.
7. On the Element Summary page, provide additional information as needed, such as input values, processing rules, and eligibility.
   Note: Use the Element Overview panel to navigate through the setup pages. Element eligibility must be defined so the element can be linked to an element entry (and hence to gross compensation).
8. In the Element Overview panel, select Actions > Create Element Eligibility.
9. Enter a name in the Element Eligibility Name field and click Submit.
   Note: By entering only a name and no eligibility criteria, the element is eligible for all employees.
10. Click the Input Value field to provide additional information as needed.
11. Repeat this entire process to create a set of elements to support your business needs. For example, you might create another element for a car allowance.
