Fast Formulas for deduction elements

in the formulas generated for deduction elements, some of them have "Take_Overlimit_AT" while some do not. what is this value related to, and by selecting which option in the definition of the deduction is it generated?

Input values are generally depend on what kind of deduction you have. on element description form you can check the tax cat for each deduction. these will effect what are the defaulted input values.
hope it helps

Error in Fast Formula for Supplemental Earnings Elements

Hi,
I have an requirement in Supplement Earning Elements for US Localization. I need to define some Supplement Earning Elements that should comes in Payroll with the extension of existing Elements.
Here are the Steps for setups which i have done so far-
Step 1:Created new Elements with their values with effective dates for existing user Table name
Step 2:Done the setup for New Elements with classification as Supplemental and Category also attached the formula like "FLAT AMOUNT" formula for Calculation rule in Element Earning screen.
Step 3: when i tried to query for the element i have created, the value in Calculation Field is "Elementname_FLAT_AMOUNT_RWSI" which is not same for the existing elements.Existing Element which is of same classification and same category the Calculation rule field is "ElementName_FLAT_AMOUNT".
Step 4: After that i did setup for Element Description and Element Link.
Step 5: Then i have copied the Formula from Existing element(which is previously configured and working fine for the existing elements ), made the modifications for the newly created element. When Compiling the formula ,i am getting an Error "Incorrect Data type"
I have two queries -
1- The setup in Earnings Screen with Calculation Rule is correct or not. As the Calculation Field for newly elements and the existing elements are different (as mentioned in Step 3).
2- Compilation Error "Incorrect Data Types" in Fast Formula.(as mentioned in Step 5).
I m pasting the Fast Formula code here for ready reference

Can anyone help me in solving this problem. Any kind of pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,
Hope you created the new element using the 'Earnings Template' form. If it is created using the 'Earnings Template' form then the calculation rule
should be correct. You said you are modifying the new element formula by using the existing element formula code, have you checked if the
formula code to the old and new once have changed anything other than the element name and standard input elements reference. Try to use
the debug messages in formula and see if that give you any clue. You should find the document in metalink how to debug a formula.
Thanks,
Satin

Need assistance for seeded element configuration in payroll for SA Legislation

Dear All,
I am implementing Oracle Fusion Global Payroll for SA Legislation. I referred workforce setup guide for Payroll and supplemental guide for HR and Payroll implementation of SA Legislation.
However, I am not able to figure out precise configurations needed for Transport Allowance calculation and feed its value to GOSI for further calculations.
Document 1567452.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): HR Implementation and Functional Considerations
Document 1619159.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): Payroll Implementation and Functional Considerations
Could anyone elaborate configuration needed to achieve below mentioned requirement? As per seeded configuration, system generates Fast Formula for calculation. But element and formula by itself does not achieve required functionality. I know there is additional configuration needed in system but not sure how to proceed ahead with it. I have completed all steps mentioned in above mentioned two documents and yet stuck with non-functioning element.
Basic Salary: 1000 SAR
Transport: 10% of Basic Salary (Based on Grade Eligibility)
I am specifically expediting functionality as below
1. Manage calculation value definition
2. Manage Component Group Rules (if applicable)
3. Attach % Grade Rate to value definition

Hi,
As I mentioned earlier, I added the appropriate balances which are used to calculate Tax to Retro Elements and those Balances got updated with the delta amount but Tax was not updated. I want to know is there any process provided by Oracle using which Tax for those already paid amounts can be recalculated.
I calculated the Tax manually and using Adjust Balance form added ZA_TAX_BALANCE_ADJUSTMENT Element and given the difference tax amount in PAYE and Tax Input values and saved the form. The Tax got updated.
Tax_ASG_RUN - 15000
Tax_ASG_TAX_YTD - 153257.32 (Prev - 138257.32). When I run the IRP5 (Tax Certificate Process) the tax is also getting correctly on it.
But client wants Oracle to calculate the Tax for those retro amounts so thats the challenge.
Could you help me with this.
Thanks,
Sri

How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
for this].
also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
any quick answers greatly appreciate..
thx,

Hi,
That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

How to create database item for fast formula?

Hi,
Is there any document for how to create database item for fast formula? I could not find in Metalink or this forum. Thanks.
Andy

Oracle ship many pre-delivered Database Items plus they're created automatically when you create Input Values (etc).
There's often something already there for you. If there's not, you usually create Fast Formula functions to retrieve other data. You don't create your own custom DBIs; Oracle don't deliver APIs for that.

Urgent:How to differentiate retro and payroll run in Fast Formula

I have written one fast formula. This fast formula is attached to “Basic Salary” element.
“Basic Salary” element has retro and proration setup.
We are using Enhanced retro process.
Enhanced retro process is calling this Fast formula to check the difference amount.
Similarly oracle payroll will also call the same fast formula while running payroll.
Now our requirement is:
Few lines in Fast formula should not execute when FF is called by retro, but it should be executed when it is called from Payroll.
So how could we know, whether FF is called by retro process or by payroll?
If I have some way to find this, I can execute this code by using this condition.
Any pointer in this regard will be highly appreciated.

None of the above.. just write one custom PLSQL function which will take the payroll action ID as context parameter & will return the action_type column from PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS table.. to the Fast formula. L is for Retro run.
In the fast formula, place your specific code in the if condition.
Attention: Making the formula calculate differently in normal payroll & retro can cause you serious consistency issues in payments/deductions and debugging them might become impossible in the long run.

Error while uploading Fast Formula using ldt Files.

Dear All,
We need to migrate Fast Formula to different instances.
Also we need to have version control also.
For that we created custom lct file.
We were able to download the ldt files correctly but found that while uplaoding fast formula context were getting truncated at the end.
Any inputs to resolve the above issue will he very helpful.
Also we need to migrate Payroll Configuration

How to use dynamic database item in Fast formula

Dear All
How to use Element Pay value in Fast Formula
Element Name: Transport_Allowance
Input Values : Name Units User Enterable Database Item
Pay Value Money No Yes
Amount Money Yes Yes
Balance Feeds : Value Name Balance Name Units
Pay Value Transportation Amount Money
Formula
DEFAULT FOR ASG_SALARY IS 0
DEFAULT FOR TRANSPORTATION_AMOUNT_ASG_RUN IS 0
ALIAS ASG_SALARY AS Emp_Salary
ALIAS TRANSPORTATION_AMOUNT_ASG_RUN AS Emp_Trans_Amt
V_CALCULATED_SALARY = Emp_Salary + Emp_Trans_Amt
RETURN V_CALCULATED_SALARY
Using the above formula, I got only Basic Salary only
How to get the Basic Salary + Transportation allowance in the return value
Please help me..
Thanks in advance

Please check whether the priority of the element with which the fast formula is attached has a priority higher than the Transport_Allowance. If not then cahange the priority of the element to a prriority higher than Transport_Allowance.

What is ENTRY_CREATOR_TYPE in the fast formula

Hi Friends
What is element entry creator type? Actually I found this in one of the Fusion fast formula ENTRY_CREATOR_TYPE. Could someone let me know what exactly is this please. I posted this question in EBS forum as well just in case if we have the same concept there and someone answers that.
Thanks

Hi,
Where is the INPUT statement in your FF.
Default for tax_amount is 0
INPUTS ARE salary
tax_amount = 0.17 * salary
retun tax_amount
Note: In formula result window, set the returned value "tax_amount" as a direct result to "Pay Value" of the element bonus.
Hope this helps.

How to return days from fast formula?

Hi All
Is it possible to return a value, a number, to an element having an input value as type 'Day' . I tried this and its showing in run results, but the same is not being reflected in, say, when I try to deduct this number from the accrual plan.
Is there any function in SQL or Fast Formula which will convert Number to Days? How to pass a number converted into 'Days' to an element?
Regards
Rahman

Hello
I want ask u
Is "Days " input value come from Element?
and
what days datatype?

Inputs to Fast formula

Hi,
I am writing a new fast formula to a custom element. The inputs are declared when defining a new element. They are referred in corresponding Fast formula using Inputs statement. Exactly from where these values are passed to fast formula when running the corresponding payroll. I mean these values change from employee to employee while payroll run. So how these values get passed to fast formula.
Thanks,
Regards,

Your inputs for the fast formula are either defined in the element's definition or received from other elements.
When you define the element and its input values while defining it, those input values can be used in the formula. When any value is entered in the Element Entry screen for these input values, the formula gets that value.
The other way to get input values to a formula is from other elements. In the 'Formula Results' window, search for the element that you need to add the input feed. This search does not require F11. Just type the name and click 'Find'. Once the element is found, you will see the list of values at the bottom. You will have input values as well as any values returned from the formula.

Payroll : Return indirect result from fast formula only in first run

Hi All,
I need to return an indirect result/element from a fast formula but only in first run of the element. For example I have an element "XYZ" and want to retun one value to element "ABC" (non-recurring earning element to pay loan amount to employee) if this is the first run of the element "XYZ" in other subsequent run I do not want to return any value.
I could have other options to deal with the issue but due to sudden change in the requirement I am left with this option only. Is there and seeded validation/flag or database item i can use to check the first run of element.
Thanks,
Avinash

Create a Balance that is fed by the Indirect Element. In the Fast Formua,check for the <Balance>ASGPTD. IF the Balance value is not Zero, then do not trigger the Indirect element (Better way to do is calculate the Loan to be paid and subtract the Balance_ASG_PTD from the calculated amount. IF the net value is not zero, then trigger the indirect element. This will ensure that the Loan element will be triggered only once). When you referred, First Run...if it is not first run per period but the first run of the element per employee, then use _ITD Balance.
