Feature Summary

Global Payroll Interface

Oracle Global Payroll Interface supports features to send personal payroll information to third-party payroll providers and then to import processed payroll data into Oracle Fusion Global HR. You can copy and modify predefined extract definitions to meet the requirements of your third-party payroll provider. Before extracting data, payroll coordinators can optionally run the Calculate Gross Earnings process to calculate periodic values to validate gross earnings calculations. If you import processed payroll data or payslips from your third-party payroll provider, the data is available for further reporting and analysis.

Specify Offset and Auto Increment Parameter Dates for Scheduled ADP Global Payroll Interface Runs

You can schedule your ADP Global Payroll Interface extractions to run at specific intervals by automatically setting the Process Start Date and Process End Date parameters based on the extraction date. Use the delivered Profile Options For Payroll Interfaces user-defined table to offset these dates.

Schedule the Extraction

Schedule the ADP Global Payroll Interface processes like any HCM cloud process. The application supports all scheduling options, such as dynamic (fast formula based) date parameter settings.

Submit a Process

For scheduling the extraction, do these following steps:

1. From the Payroll Checklist work area, select the Submit a Process or Report task.
2. Select the Legislative Data Group.
3. Search for and select the Run Payroll Interface for ADP Global Payroll flow.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Enter Parameters page, enter all the parameters that need to be used in scheduled runs except the Process Start Date and Process End Date.
6. Click Next.
7. Click Next
8. On the Schedule page, specify the schedule frequency.
9. Click Next.
10. Click Submit.

Note the following:

1. When scheduling Global Payroll Interface runs, ensure that you do not set the Process End Date parameter to a date that is earlier than the Process End Date parameter of any of the previous runs.
2. When scheduling the extractions for the first time, ensure that the start date and end date parameters are left blank so that the settings mentioned below take effect.

Automatically Increment Process Date Parameters

The data reported in the ADP Global Payroll Interface depends on the Process Start Date and Process End Date that the user chooses at the time of submitting the interface. This extraction time frame might vary based on your implementation requirements.

When you schedule this extraction to run on a daily basis, the process start and end dates start based on the system date.

Steps to Enable

Do these steps to automatically increment the Process Start Date and Process End Date parameters.

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. In the Task pane, click Search.
3. Search for and select the Manage User-Defined Tables task.
4. On the Manage User-Defined Tables page, search for and select the Profile Options For Payroll Interfaces. Specify the appropriate LDG.

NOTE: In implementations involving multiple LDGs, you must run the  ADP Global Payroll Interface process within the context of an LDG. So, configure the scheduling settings for individual LDGs according to your requirements.

5. On the User-Defined Table page, ensure that the Effective As-Of Date is set according to your requirement.
6. Click Edit to update the User-Defined Rows table.
7. Click Next to open the User-Defined Table Values page.
8. In the User-Defined Table Values section, click Create from the Actions menu.
9. In the Add User-Defined Table Values dialog box, search for and select ADP Global Payroll Interface Flow Parameter StartDate Offset.
10. Click OK.
11. In the User-Defined Table Values section, enter the number of days by which you want to offset the start date. Set this value to the number of days by which you want to move the start date from the date of execution, which is the system date. If you want to move the start date to the past, set the value with a “-“ (minus)  sign. If you want to move it forward, set it with a “+” sign or without any sign. For example, for setting the start date 14 days in the past, set this value as -14.
12. Repeat the above step for the ADP Global Payroll Interface Flow Parameter EndDate Offset extract. Set this value to the number of days by which you want to move the end date from the date of execution, which is the system date. If you want to move the end date to the future, ensure that you set value with a “+“  (plus)  sign or without any sign. If you want to move it backward, set it with a “-” minus sign. For example, for setting the end date 7 days in the future, set this value as 7 or +7.

NOTE: The application applies these offsets on the extract execution date, which is actually the system date. If you don’t specify the offsets, then the application will use the system date.

13. Click Submit.

Filter Payroll Elements to Include in the ADP Global Payroll Interface

Use the Element Groups option to specify the payroll elements that you want to pass to ADP Global Payroll. This option is useful in scenarios where additional elements have been configured to meet implementation-specific requirements. Such elements are not intended to be processed in payroll and hence need not be part of the interface file.

Element Groups

Removing the Filter on Elements to be Reported

After implementing the filter, if there is a subsequent requirement to remove the filter so that all elements are reported in the  ADP Global Payroll interface, end date the ADP Global Payroll Interface Element Group element group. Extractions that you do after the element group’s end date will report all elements. To end date the element group, set the Effective End Date of the element group as appropriate.

Steps to Enable

Configure the element group as below to filter out the elements.

1. Navigate to Manage Object Groups in Payroll Calculation work area.
2. On the Manage Object Groups page, select Create from the Actions menu.
3. In the Create Object Group dialog box, complete these fields:

   Field	Value
   Name	ADP Global Payroll Interface Element Group
   Legislative Data Group	Choose as appropriate
   Type	Element Group

4. Click Continue.
5. On the Basic Data page, enter the effective start date and provide a description.
6. Click Next.
7. On the Create Object Group page, Elements section, select Add from the Actions menu.
8. Add the list of elements that you want to include in the interface.
9. Ensure that the Inclusion Status column has the value Include. Click Submit.

Only those elements included in this group will be extracted in all subsequent payroll interface runs.

Global Data Section in ADP Global Payroll Interface Enhanced with Additional Attributes

Improved Performance of Synchronize Person Assignments from Position Job

Performance of  the scheduled job ‘Synchronize Person Assignments from Position’ has been improved with multiple sub job processing.

The calculation of the actual number of sub jobs varies depending on the quotient of number of impacted assignments divided by number of sub jobs defined in the new profile option PER_EMPL_POSSYNC_PROPOSED_ESS_JOB_NUM. If none was specified, then the system will use 10 as the default for the number of sub jobs to use as the basis for the calculation.

• If the quotient is less than 2,000, then the number of sub jobs is calculated as the number of impacted assignments divided by 2,000.
• If the quotient is between 2,000 and 10,000, the system will use the number of sub jobs the customer has specified in the new profile option or the default of 10 if nothing was specified in the profile option.
• If the quotient is more than 10,000, then the number of sub jobs created is the total of impacted assignments divided by 10,000.

Steps to Enable

Filter Payroll Elements to Be Included in the Global Payroll Interface

Use the Element Groups option to specify the payroll elements that you want to pass to third-party applications. This option is useful in scenarios where additional elements have been configured to meet implementation-specific requirements. Such elements are not intended to be processed in payroll and hence need not be part of the interface file.

Element Groups

Configure the element group as below to filter out the elements.

1. Navigate to Manage Object Groups in Payroll Calculation work area.
2. On the Manage Object Groups page, select Create from the Actions menu.
3. In the Create Object Group dialog box, complete these fields:

   Field	Value
   Name	Global Payroll Interface Element Group
   Legislative Data Group	Choose as appropriate
   Type	Element Group

4. Click Continue.
5. On the Basic Data page, enter the effective start date and provide a description.
6. Click Next.
7. On the Create Object Group page, Elements section, select Add from the Actions menu.
8. Add the list of elements that you want to include in the interface.
9. Ensure that the Inclusion Status column has the value Include. Click Submit.

Only those elements included in this group will be extracted in all subsequent payroll interface runs.

Removing the Filter on Elements to be Reported

After implementing the filter in initial stages, if there is a subsequent requirement to remove the filter so that all elements are reported in the Global Payroll interface, end date the Global Payroll Interface Element Group element group. Extractions that you perform after the element group’s end date will report all elements. To end date the element group, set the Effective End Date of the element group as appropriate.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Setting Offset and Auto Incrementing Parameter Dates for Scheduled Interface Runs

Scheduling the Extraction

Schedule Global Payroll Interface processes like any HCM Cloud process. The application supports all scheduling options, such as dynamic (fast formula based) date parameter settings.

Submit a Process

For scheduling the extraction, do these following steps:

1. From the Payroll Checklist work area, select the Submit a Process or Report task.
2. Select the Legislative Data Group.
3. Search for and select the Run Global Payroll Interface V2 flow.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Enter Parameters page, enter all the parameters that need to be used in scheduled runs except the Process Start Date and Process End Date.
6. Click Next.
7. Click Next
8. On the Schedule page, specify the schedule frequency.
9. Click Next.
10. Click Submit.

Note the following:

1. When scheduling Global Payroll Interface runs, ensure that you do not set the Process End Date parameter to a date that is earlier than the Process End Date parameter of any of the previous runs.
2. When scheduling the extractions for the first time, ensure that the start date and end date parameters are left blank so that the settings mentioned below take effect.

Automatically Incrementing Process Date Parameters

The data reported in the Global Payroll Interface depends on the Process Start Date and Process End Date that the user chooses at the time of submitting the interface. This extraction window might vary based on the implementation requirements. When this extraction is scheduled to run on a daily basis, the process start and end dates start based on the system date.

Increment Process Date Parameters

See Steps to Enable below for the steps to automatically increment the Process Start Date and Process End Date parameters.

Steps to Enable

Do these steps to automatically increment the Process Start Date and Process End Date parameters:

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. In the Task pane, click Search.
3. Search for and select the Manage User-Defined Tables task.
4. On the Manage User-Defined Tables page, search for and select the Profile Options For Payroll Interfaces. Specify the appropriate LDG.

NOTE: In implementations involving multiple LDGs, you must run the Global Payroll Interface process within the context of an LDG. So, configure the scheduling settings for individual LDGs according to your requirements.

5. On the User-Defined Table page, ensure that the Effective As-Of Date is set according to your requirement.
6. Click Edit to update the User-Defined Rows table.
7. Click Next to open the User-Defined Table Values page.
8. In the User-Defined Table Values section, click Create from the Actions menu.
9. In the Add User-Defined Table Values dialog box, search for and select Global Payroll Interface flow parameter StartDate Offset.
10. Click OK.
11. In the User-Defined Table Values section, enter the number of days by which you want to offset the start date. Set this value to the number of days by which you want to move the start date from the date of execution, which is the system date. If you want to move the start date to the past, set the value with a “-“ (minus)  sign. If you want to move it forward, set it with a “+” sign or without any sign. For example, for setting the start date 14 days in the past, set this value as -14.
12. Repeat the above step for the Exact Global Payroll Interface flow parameter EndDate Offset. Set this value to the number of days by which you want to move the end date from the date of execution, which is the system date. If you want to move the end date to the future, ensure you set value with a “+“  (plus)  sign or without any sign. If you want to move it backward, set it with a “-” minus sign. For example, for setting the end date 7 days in the future, set this value as 7 or +7.

NOTE: The application applies these offsets on the extract execution date, which is actually the system date. If you don’t specify the offsets, then the application will use the system date.

13. Click Submit.

Workforce Modeling

New Subject Area - Workforce Management - Workforce Modeling Real Time

Enhance your reporting capabilities on Global Human Resources with the ability to report on workforce models. A new subject area Workforce Management - Workforce Modeling Real Time has been added. This subject area allows you to report on the workforce models, the proposed changes like transfer, promotion, terminate, change manager, change location, and so on.

In addition to the usual common dimensions, this subject area introduces:

• Model Plan: This dimension contains details of the workforce modeling plan. Attributes include: 
  • Model Name - Name of the workforce model
  • Effective Date - Date from which the model would be effective.
  • Status - The status of the model like draft, pending, rejected, returned, completed
  • Top Manager - The top manager in the hierarchy where the model is created.
• Model Item Detail (Snapshot) - This dimension captures the snapshot of all the records (assignments, positions, requisitions and vacancies) as of the model effective date before any modeling changes are applied.
• Model Item Detail (Modeled) - This dimension captures the modeling changes, for example, the working hours changed from 40 to 35 hours for a worker in the model or a manager change for a worker.
• Model Item: This is the fact folder in the subject area. This contains all the metrics related to the worker based on both the modeled values and the current values. For example: The metric FTE under 'Live Values' folder contains the current value, and the same metric under 'Modeled Values' renders the modified value due to the model.

Steps to Enable

Leverage new subject area(s) by adding to existing reports or using in new reports. For details about creating and editing reports, see the Creating and Administering Analytics and Reports book (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Administration).
