We need Payroll software primarily to calculate net salary for the employees, and also for regulatory & reporting reasons. Oracle Payroll helps an Organization to manage the costing of their EmployeesPayroll

Payroll means processing a salary for salaried employee. There should be relation of contract of service

Payroll means an abstract of monthly salary details of an employee which is generated by computerCan we capture just one value against each Element?

Wrong, you can capture upto 15 values [via Element Entry] per Oracle Payroll Element.Why does PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS contain PAYROLL_ID, ELEMENT_SET_ID and ASSIGNMENT_SET_ID?

The Payroll process [conc short name PYUGEN] can be run for a specific Payroll i.e. for people enrolled to Monthly or Weekly payroll.

Hence Payroll_id is stored to capture parameter details.

A payroll action can also be restricted to a specific group of Elements, via ELEMENT_SET_ID.

A group of Elements are defined using a table PAY_ELEMENT_SETS, for example you wish to group all bonus related elements together.Which Assignment Records were included in Payroll Actions:-

PAY_ASSIGNMENT_ACTIONS

Pay_assignment_actions contains an entry for each Assignment_id that was eligible during Payroll Action.

For example if you run a quick pay, an entry for that specific assignment_id will be created in pay_assignment_actions. What are the possible actions? Costing

Quick pay

Payroll Run

Magnetic Transfer [synonym to EOY-End of Year run]

Transfer to GL......etc

A column named ACTION_TYPE [validated by lookup type ACTION_TYPE] is used to store the type of action.What is the difference between quick-pay and payroll run?

Quickpay is functionality (available from assignment screen), by which you can run the payroll for single person assignment. It uses the same executable as that of actual Payroll run.When the payroll engine runs, does Oracle calculate the first calculates the Deductions and then Earnings?

You can assign Priority to Element Classifications. If priority of Earning is 1 and Priority of Deduction classification is 2, then Earnings will be calculated first, and then deductions will be applied latter by the Payroll engineWhat is payroll run results?

When payroll process runs, it reads the element entries for the assignment in pay_assignment_actions. For those element entries, payroll engine uses the entry value in "pay value" or it kicks off a fast formula if the element has a fast formula attached to that. The end result is that each eligible element gets a result. These results are stored in pay run result tables

What are the payroll run results tables?

Pay_run_results

Pay_run_result_values

Obviously the values are stored per element in Pay_run_results.

The input value used/derived by payroll engine is stored in Pay_run_result_values

Oracle Payroll Costing Concept?

The Costing Allocation Key Flex field, during the business group definition it is being created and map with Cost Allocation KFF with following segments normally. Company Cost Centre Natural Account/Accounts CodeDuring the configuration of Cost Allocation KFF the most important concept is to set the Flex Field Qualifiers at each segment level, we have the five levels available for each segment i.e.Assignment > Balancing > Element Entry > Element Link > Organization > PayrollFor the Company segment following setting can be appliedPayroll CheckedBalancing CheckedThis setting will explain that the Company Account will be input at Payroll level (debit information) and balancing information will goes into credit information and on every segment level it is mandatory to define Balancing.For the Cost Centre segment, I can set the following settingPayroll CheckedOrganization checkedBalancing checkedThis setting will explain that the Cost Centre Account information will be input at Payroll and Organization level (debit information) and balancing information will goes into credit information and on every segment level it is mandatory to define Balancing.For the Natural Account segment, I can choose the following settingElement Link CheckedAssignment CheckedElement Entry CheckedBalancing CheckedThis setting will explain that the Natural Account information will be input at following levelsElement Link, Assignment, Element Entry level information will directly hit the debit account and balancing information will goes into credit Account and on every segment level it is mandatory to define.Balancing:After this step we map Cost Allocation KFF Segments with GL Flex field SegmentsIn Oracle payroll, Costing information can be input at five levels Payroll Organization Element Link Assignment Element EntryNow based on the above configuration, the following codes will be define at Payroll level.Company 01Cost Centre 000For example if Business Group has four Departments i.e.FINANCE, HR, IT, Operations then on every organization the following information will be define at the Organization levelFINANCE:Cost Centre 001HR: Cost Centre 002IT: Cost Centre 003Operations: Cost Centre 004Note: Here the Cost Centre information will override with information available on Payroll Level.Payroll Level 000FINANCEOrg Level 001

2. Unsecured views is used to get the information from the entire rowsAPIs: Application Programmatic Interface?

API is nothing but a logical grouping of PL/SQL packaged procedures and functions, which acts as an interface to the database.APIs are in Oracle HRMS. For every insert/update or delete to any of the base tables, an API is available.

APIs are primarily used to validate the data being inserted into the base tables and also for inserting or updating the data on deleting the data from the base tables.Define APIs and use in Oracle HRMS?APIs are used in HR to insert the data into the Base tables. The user does not have the facility to copy the data directly into the Base tables. When we write the inbound interfaces / use WebAdI, the systems will use the APIs to store the data into system. The different types of parameters are IN / INOUT / OUT of these parameters few are mandatory, without which the process wont complete. Generally when we use API we give data FOR: Object Version Number, Effective Date, P_ValidateHR_EMPLOYEE_api example: hr_employee_api.create_employee

hr_organization_api Example: hr_organization_api.create_organization

hr_assignment_apiParameters Every API has a number of parameters. Generally, the optional parameters are followed by a default value, e.g. p_email_address in varchar2 default null.

Control Parameters

Control parameters are the mandatory parameters common for all the APIs.

P_Object_Version_NumberThis is one of the control parameters. For insert APIs, p_object_version_number is an OUT parameter. For update APIs, p_object_version_number is an IN OUT parameter.

p_validate

This is an IN parameter. It decides that the record needs to be saved to the database or not Default value for p_validate is FALSE. If TRUE value is passed, data will be validated and not saved to the database.Note: Commit needs to be written in the code explicitly in order to save the changes done by APIs to the database.

P_Effective_Date

APIs that are used to insert/update/delete the date tracked data have this control parameter. This is a mandatory IN parameter that defines the date from which the current change needs to be applied.

p_datetrack_update_mode

APIs used to update the date tracked data have this control parameter. Valid values for this parameter are: UPDATE, CORRECTION, UPDATE_OVERRIDE and UPDATE_CHANGE_INSERT

p_datetrack_delete_mode

APIs used to delete date track data have this control parameter. Valid values for this parameter are: ZAP, DELETE, FUTURE_CHANGE, and DELETE_NEXT_CHANGEList of Important APIs?Work StructuresPeoplePayroll

If you do personalization at both FUNCTION level and Responsibility level, which personalization has higher precedence?

Responsibility level. Responsibility level will override FUNCTION level personalizationsSay you have done a lot of Personalizations to Self Service Screens. But all these Personalizations were done in DEVELOPMENT environment. How will you migrate these personalizations to PRODUCTION environment?Before 11.5.7Use AKLOAD

This is a java program given by Oracle. This is the only way you can script it.

In DEV you will do AKLOAD DOWNLOAD ( & other parameters)

In PRD you will do AKLOAD UPLOAD ( & other parameters)

On or after 11.5.10Use responsibility Functional Administrator, and then click on Personalization Tab, and then click on Import/Export.

Next select the documents to be exported.

Go to the UNIX box and tar the personalizations into a .tar file.

IRecruitment does not track changes to the vacancy. If changes to a field are to be traced use the Audit capability in APPs.Following is the execution order of the test plan elements:

Configuration elementsPre-ProcessorsTimersSamplerPost-Processors (unless SampleResult is null)Assertions (unless SampleResult is null)Listeners (unless SampleResult is null)Configuration Elements allow you to create defaults and variables to be used by Samplers. They are used to add or modify requests made by Samplers.They are executed at the start of the scope of which they are part, before any Samplers that are located in the same scope. Therefore, a Configuration Element is accessed only from inside the branch where it is placed.There are two kinds of functions:User-defined static values(or variables): It allow the user to define variables to be replaced with their static value when a test tree is compiled and submitted to be run.Built-in functions:eg.threadNum :get thread numbersamplerName :get the sampler name (label)machineIP :get the local machine IP addressmachineName :get the local machine nametime :return current time in various formatslog :log (or display) a message (and return the value)logn :log (or display) a message (empty return value)StringFromFile :read a line from a fileFileToString :read an entire fileCSVRead :read from CSV delimited fileXPath :Use an XPath expression to read from a filecounter :generate an incrementing numberintSum :add int numberslongSum :add long numbersRandom :generate a random numberRandomString :generate a random stringUUID :generate a random type 4 UUIDTestPlanName :Return name of current test planListeners:Listeners helps us to view the result of samplers in the form of graphs, trees, tables or simple text in some log files. As a Sampler component of JMeter is executed they provide visual access to the data gathered by JMeter about the test casesJmeter:

JMeter functions are special values that can populate fields of any Sampler or other element in a test tree. A function call looks like this:${__functionName(var1,var2,var3)}Variables are referenced as:${VARIABLE}Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load.Payroll Documents:i. Time sheetsii. Job sheetsiii. Time recordersiv. Payroll registersv. Pay-in-slip (pay slip)these are the evidence documents should be maintained by the business units, out of these pay slip is issued to the employees stating his work details and deductions made (including employer's deductions).By default a JMeter thread will send requests without pausing between each sampler. Timers helps us to define a period to wait between each request. Example of Timers are Constant Timer, Gaussian Random Timer, Synchronizing Timer, Uniform Random Timer, Constant Throughput Timer.Important Tables in HRMS?

A concurrent request proceeds through three, possibly four, life cycle stages orphases:VariableDescription

PendingRequest is waiting to be run

RunningRequest is running

CompletedRequest has finished

InactiveRequest cannot be run

PhaseStatusDescription

PENDINGNormalRequest is waiting for the next available manager.

PENDINGStandbyProgram to run request is incompatible with other program(s) currently running.

PENDINGScheduledRequest is scheduled to start at a future time or date.

PENDINGWaitingA child request is waiting for its Parent request to mark it ready to run. For example, a report in a report set that runs sequentially must wait for a prior report to complete.

RUNNINGNormalRequest is running normally.

RUNNINGPausedParent request pauses for all its child requests to complete. For example, a report set pauses for all reports in the set to complete.

RUNNINGResumingAll requests submitted by the same parent request have completed running. The Parent request is waiting to be restarted.

RUNNINGTerminatingRunning request is terminated, by selectingTerminatein the Status field of the Request Details zone.

COMPLETEDNormalRequest completes normally.

COMPLETEDErrorRequest failed to complete successfully.

COMPLETEDWarningRequest completes with warnings. For example, a report is generated successfully but fails to print.

COMPLETEDCancelledPending or Inactive request is cancelled, by selectingCancelin the Status field of the Request Details zone.

COMPLETEDTerminatedRunning request is terminated, by selectingTerminatein the Status field of the Request Details zone.

INACTIVEDisabledProgram to run request is not enabled. Contact your system administrator.

INACTIVEOn HoldPending request is placed on hold, by selectingHoldin the Status field of the Request Details zone.

INACTIVENo ManagerNo manager is defined to run the request. Check with your system administrator.

Submitting Requests?Administrators can assign individual programs/sets, all programs/sets in a request group, programs/sets belonging to one or more applications, and so on, either to the user directly or to a role that can then be assigned to one or more users.

If applications are included in the request groups, all programs/requests sets that are created in these applications will also be automatically included. Please note that request submission applies to both programs and request sets.

The following types of "instance sets" can be used for assignment (but administrators can create new instance sets based on their needs):

All programs in a particular request security group

All request sets in a particular request security group

To enable this functionality, the following are seeded:

Permission "Submit Request"

Permission "View Request"

Permission Set "Request Operations" containing the permissions "Submit Request" and "View Request"

Object "Concurrent Programs"

Object Instance Set "Programs that can be accessed"

Object Instance Set "Request sets that can be accessed"

To grant access to a request security group to a role, follow these steps:

1. Define your role (User Management responsibility).

2. Define your request security group (System Administrator responsibility).

3. Define your grant (Functional Administrator responsibility).Viewing Requests?You can control users' access to viewing requests with RBAC.

Note:In previous releases, the Concurrent: Report Access Level profile was used to control privileges to report output files and log files generated by a concurrent program. This profile is no longer used.

Seeded "instance sets" allow administrators to grant:All requests submitted by a user

All requests submitted by a user for a given application

All requests belonging to a program submitted by a user

All requests belonging to a request set submitted by a user
