Ddi you try processing both the medical benefit element and medical bills element ? One of these should have the formula attached to it to calculate/adjust taxable and non-taxable values applicable for the year.
Usually tax calculations and exemption calculations are done for the entire year during each payroll run. So ,i suppose if 12500 was taxable in last 11 months and employee gave bills for 13000 in March, only 2000 should be taxable. So -10500 should come in March, so that annual value of 2000 (12500-10500) is taxable

Dear Oracle US Payroll Customer:
We would like to make you aware of an issue with the Florida XML State Quarterly Wage (SQWL) changes. After receiving approval from the State of Florida, Oracle was notified on Monday, July 2, there was an issue with the generated XML if there was more than one GRE reported in the XML file. This issue has been resolved and a one-off patch is now available.
Patch number: 6166328
Note: If you do not file the SQWL in the State of Florida, you are not required to apply this patch. Additionally, this issue will impact you only if you have multiple GREs with employees in Florida. If you are filing for only one GRE in the state of Florida, you do not need to apply this patch.

ATTN: Oracle US Payroll Customers: XML Check Writer and Deposit Advice rele

Dear Oracle U.S. HCM Customer,
The XML Checkwriter/Deposit Advice patch has been released!
Patch number:
* R11i: 6399100
Note: This patch will satisfy the California Overtime Paid in Arrears
requirement in addition to delivering XML output.
Please see the readme on Metalink for full details:
XML Checkwriter/Deposit Advice Readme Rel 11i Note 459306.1
Note:
Oracle will de-support the Live Checkwriter and Deposit Advice for US

Checkwriter and Deposit Advice will continue to be supported. What this
means is that new code changes and bug fixes will not be tested on the
Live Checkwriter and Deposit Advice. Additionally, enhancements made to
the Archive version will NOT be made for the Live version.

At OpenWorld, the developers said that XML Checkwriter and Deposit Advice would be available in version 12.6. I don't recall the expected date of release.

con.commit();
} catch (SQLException se) {

con.rollback();

URGENT- Update for picking confirmation & PGI

Hi Experts,
Is there any FM/BAPI to update delivery for both the picking confirmation & PGI.
I am trying to use WS_UPDATE_DELIVERY_2 but it is triggerring me an error at delivery positions.
If it is the correct FM used then plz forward me the parameters for the req.
Thank you,
Sangeetha

Check with below logic :
if flag = 'X'. Assume that flag = X means - PGI else delivery update.
Use FM - WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE
else.
Use FM : SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PICKING
endif.
Check the below code for ref PGI ..

US Oracle Payroll Customers: Urgent Update

Dear US Payroll Customer,
We would like to make you aware of two important items. Issues have been discovered in the SQWL output files for the states of Michigan and Massachusetts that may cause the files to be rejected. The following two patches should be applied if you submit SQWL files in these states.

C. Other Important Notes
US Check/Deposit Advice XML
There are some additional dependencies for this patch that were not
originally communicated. Applying the EOY Phase 1 patch first satisfies
these dependencies. If there is a need to apply this patch prior to
applying EOY Phase 1 we are exploring possible alternative
pre-requisites and will send out a notice late next week with more
information.
* 11i one-off Patch 6399100 released 21-Sep-2007
* R12 will be part of Release Update (RUP) 12.0.4
Oracle will de-support the Live Checkwriter and Deposit Advice for US
and Canada beginning with 2007 EOY Phase 1. Archive Checkwriter and
Deposit Advice will continue to be supported. What this means is that
new code changes and bug fixes will not be tested on the Live
Checkwriter and Deposit Advice. Additionally, enhancements made to the
Archive version will NOT be made for the Live version.
Desupport of Standard Tax Interface
Oracle no longer supports the Standard Tax interface. Taxes will
continue to be calculated and tax rate changes from the Vertex Data
Updates will continue. New code changes and bug fixes will not be tested
on the Standard Interface and we cannot guarantee that all functionality
will continue to work. Additionally, enhancements made to taxes will NOT
be made for the Standard Tax Interface. We strongly recommend that you
upgrade immediately to the Enhanced Tax interface.
