We can create an element group to limit the elements being processed during the payroll processing
To create an Element Group in Oracle HCM, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to Payroll Element Groups
- Go to My Client Groups > Payroll > Element Groups.
- Click Create to start a new element group.
2. Enter Basic Information
- Element Group Name: Enter a name for the element group, like “Benefits Deductions” or “Overtime Elements”.
- Reporting Name: Enter a short reporting name if needed for reporting purposes.
- Effective Date: Enter the date from which the group should be active.
3. Choose Group Type
- Group Type: Select the group type, usually Standard or Balance Feeds.
- Standard: Use this if the group is primarily for grouping elements for easy access and configuration.
- Balance Feeds: Use this if you want the group to affect a specific balance (for example, if you are grouping elements to track a specific balance like “Net Pay” or “Total Deductions”).
4. Add Elements to the Group
- Go to the Elements section and click Add.
- Select the elements you want to include in this group. Use the search function if necessary to locate elements by name or classification.
- Click Add to Group after selecting each element.
5. Configure Processing Order (if needed)
- In some cases, especially if the group is intended for processing or reporting, you may want to arrange the elements in a specific order. Use the Processing Order field to define the order in which the elements should be considered within the group.
6. Save and Close
- Review the group configuration to ensure all necessary elements are included.
- Click Save and Close to complete the setup.
7. Test the Element Group
- Run a test payroll process or balance report to ensure the Element Group functions as expected with the elements assigned to it.
