By Megan / January 31, 2024

To run payroll for a specific group for a specific earning in Oracle HCM, follow these steps:

1. Create a Payroll Flow:

Navigate to the Payroll work area from the Home page.
Under the Payroll Dashboard, select Submit a Flow to create a new payroll flow.

2. Select the Payroll Flow:

Choose Calculate Payroll or the appropriate payroll flow process for your organization.
Select the specific Payroll you are running (e.g., weekly, monthly).

3. Define Payroll Parameters:

In the Parameters section, enter the necessary details:
- Payroll Definition: Select the payroll definition to be used (e.g., which payroll this group belongs to).
- Process Date: Enter the process date for the payroll.
- Payroll Relationship Group: Specify the group of employees for whom you want to run payroll. You can set up a predefined Payroll Relationship Group or create a new one with the specific employees.

4. Restrict to a Specific Earning:

In the same parameters section, use the Element Name field (if available) to restrict the payroll run to a specific earning element.
If this option is not available, you may need to configure a separate payroll process with filters for specific earnings.
Examples of specific earnings include Overtime, Bonus, or Commission.

5. Submit the Payroll:

After entering the necessary parameters and ensuring the process is restricted to the correct group and earning, click Submit.

6. Monitor the Payroll Process:

You can monitor the progress of the payroll run from the Payroll Flow page.
Review logs and reports to verify that the payroll has processed correctly for the specified group and earning.

7. Review the Results:

After the payroll run is complete, review the results by checking the Payroll Results for the specific group of employees.
Ensure that only the intended earning was processed and reflected in the employee’s payroll calculations.

8. Generate Reports (Optional):

You can generate reports like Payroll Register Report or Earnings Register Report to validate that only the specified earnings were processed for the chosen group.
