This tutorial deals with Fusion Payroll, and how it functions. This first part deals with the theory aspects of the following topics.

 The topics covered in this tutorial are

• Payroll Product Usage

• Payroll Legislations

• Payroll Lookups and Value Sets

• Payroll Flexfields

• Payroll Profile Options

Payroll Product Usage

The Payroll Product Usage ensures that certain payroll-related features, such as element templates, work correctly in your implementation. It specifies how a certain payroll task or data is to be used for a particular legislation.

The task associated with this is Manage Payroll Product Usage. By default, it is blank or has no value. Other values of Payroll Product Usage are Payroll Interface and Payroll.

For the value Payroll, the following points are concerned:

• During Element Creation, element templates generate formulae and other associated items that are required for costing or payment processing in Global Payroll.

• New-Hire process includes country-specific features, such as automatic generation of calculation cards for statutory deductions and validation of address formats.

• Payroll definitions require associated organisation payment methods. You must select payment methods that include a payment source.

• Defining payment sources requires source banks in Oracle Fusion Financials.

For Payroll Interface, the following are in effect:

• Element Creation - Element templates for Regular and Supplemental Earnings generate formulae, input values, and balances.

• New-Hire process - includes country-specific features, such as validations.

• Validation on Payroll Objects are less restrictive.

In case of no value (other HCM products), Payroll Product Usage has the following in effect:

• Element Creation - Element templates create only Elements. No formulae or input values are generated.

• New-Hire process - includes country-specific features, such as validations.

• Validation on Payroll Objects are less restrictive.

Payroll Legislations

Payroll Legislations configure legislations for Global Payroll which are not preinstalled. It chooses critical definitions for Element Classifications, Payment Types, Dimensions, etc. In other words, it defines the components that need to be enabled for the particular legislation and country.

This is specifically used for International Payroll, where definitions are not supported, and you want to utilise the product. This will help you specify the required information to proceed with the creation of elements. To do this, a classification for the particular country is required.

The task associated with this is Configure Payroll Legislations. It can be configured through a wizard.

Payroll Lookups and Value Sets

Lookups

They are static lists used for business logic. They can be created by the system (seeded), the user, or can also be extensible. There are legislation-specific lookups. To specify a reason for the entry of a particular element, in Global Payroll, the lookup is PAY_ELE_ENTRY_REASON.

In Fusion Applications, you can define lookups using the task associated with it, Manage Payroll Lookups.

Value Sets

They are dynamic lists that contain data retrieved through a query. They can either be seeded or created by the user.

In Fusion Applications, you can manage value sets using the task associated with it, Manage Payroll Value Sets.

Flexfields

In Fusion Payroll, as of now, the amount of flexfields are limited. The following list encompasses the flexfields included in Payroll:

• Balances

• Elements

• Element Links

• Element Entries

• Organisation Payment Methods

• Personal Payment Methods

• Report Records

• Time Periods

Profiles

Profiles

Profiles are permanent user preferences and system configuration options with a centralised management. Profiles are provided by a product to specify the values depending upon which the behaviour of the product’s functionalities can be changed.

The levels of profiles are: Site, Product, and User.

The task associated with it is Manage Profiles.

Payroll Profiles

They specify the values that you want to display for each level of the payroll employment hierarchy.

The three values at each level help to identify the record.

The task associated with it is Manage Payroll Profiles.

Depending on the employment model used in your enterprise, you can use the following levels to set up your payroll employment hierarchy:

• Payroll Relationship

• Employment Terms

• Assignments

To define profile option settings and values, select the Manage Payroll Employment Hierarchy Profile Option Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Payroll Relationship Level

(PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_REL_DESC_1, PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_REL_DESC_2, PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_REL_DESC_3)

It identifies the Payroll, Relationship, Number, Payroll Statutory Unit Name, and the Payroll Relationship Type.

Payroll Term Level

(PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_TERM_DESC_1, PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_TERM_DESC_2, PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_TERM_DESC_3)

It identifies the Legal Employer Name, Grade Name, Job Name, Position Name, Payroll Name, and Location Name.

Payroll Assignment Level

(PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_ASG_DESC_1, PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_ASG_DESC_2, PAY_EMP_HIERARCHY_ASG_DESC_3)

It identifies the Assignment Name, Assignment Number, Employment Category, Grade Name, Job Name, Legal Employer Name, Location Name, and Position Name.

-----The second part shall deal with the UIs associated with the above topics, along with walkthroughs and screenshots.-----
