Redwood Experience for Payroll Costing by Location

The Payroll Costing by Location page is created with the Redwood toolkit, giving the page the look of Redwood, along with the backend functionality that Redwood has to offer.

You can now create, update, delete, or end date the location costing with the new page delivered.

Access this task from Navigator -> My Client Groups -> Show More -> Payroll -> Costing of Locations

The new page offers you the following:

  • Use the Search option to search for a specific location, or the list of locations that contains a specific word.
  • View the location costing information for different legislative data groups grouped together by location.
  • View the location costing results for all legislative data groups, location sets, and location statuses, as of the system date by default.
  • View the location costings for all legislative data groups, grouped by location.
  • If no costing records exist for a specific location as of that effective date, the location details are displayed, allowing you to create a costing.
  • Use the filter chips, Legislative Data Group, Location Set, Status, Location Code, and Effective-as-of-date, to narrow down your search results.
  • Use the Expand All or Collapse All options to either expand or collapse your search results. Default is Expand All.

  • Use the All, With Costing and Without Costing tabs to search the results as defined below. Default is Expand All.

All: Use this option to view all locations along with the costing information, if exists.

With Costing: Use this option to view locations that have costing information

Without Costing: Use this option to view locations that do not have costing information.

Note: The search criteria used to search within the results, including filter chips, is applied to these tabs.

  • Add additional columns from the available columns list to include location information in your view.

  • Costing History for a location and legislative data group is available when you navigate to any record of that combination.

Note: Click on the hyperlink of the date effective record and make modifications as needed.

Take advantage of all the features that come with the new Redwood Payslips page for a more modern feel. With the new page you can have the ability to search for the page on the Ask Oracle page, include the page in a journey, or enable nudge for the page.

The Costing of Locations page is enabled by default (below profile option is set to Yes). In case this page isn’t enabled, follow these steps to enable:.

  1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance area and search for the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

  2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for and select the ORA_PAY_COSTING_SETUP_PAGES_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option.

  3. Set the profile to Yes.

  4. Click Save and Close.

In order to enable any of the Redwood pages, the central profile option ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED (Enable VBCS Progressive Web Application User Interfaces across HCM application) must be set to Y.

You must specify which costing segments to be displayed in Location Costing by using the Location as selected label for the respective Cost Allocation Structure.

Note: If you set the ORA_PAY_COSTING_SETUP_PAGES_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option to No, the Costing of Locations are hidden because there is no existing costing page for location costing.
