Setup======1) Enable Dynamic Triggers and Create your event group.

Refer to Oracle Applications Online Help for details on creating Event Groups and enabling Dynamic Triggers. There is an Event Group delivered called ªRegular Earningsº. You can use this event group or you can create your own event group.

2) Create the retro earnings element.

If you have previously defined retro elements for use in RetroPay by Element, as a result of the Generic Upgrade Mechanism process, that element has been movedfrom the original RetroPay Element field found on the Recalculation tab to the new Retro Element field discussed in Step 3 below. If you have not previously run RetroPay by Element or you are using seeded elements, you may want to define aretro element.

Navigation > Total Compensation > Basic > Earnings

Generally, this earnings element is a non-recurring element and has similar attributes as the base element. Create the link for this element and cost appropriately.

This step is NOT mandatory. Creation of a retro element may be necessary if:

- the retro amount is to be displayed separately from the base element's amount- costing of the retrospective amount is handled differently then the base element- formulas for other elements need to exclude the retro calculated amount

If a retro element is not defined, the difference is shown with the base element.

3) Complete Element Type Setup

NOTE: As a result of the Generic Upgrade Mechanism process, this step is completed for elements that were included in an Element Set that has previously been us

ed in a RetroPay by Element process. If you have not previously run RetroPay byElement, you must manually complete this step.

Navigation > Total Compensation > Basic > Element Description > query base element

The Element Type setup for Retropay is handled on the Recalculation tab of the Element Description window.

Select the ªRecalculation Eventsº. This is the event group defined in step 1 above.

After entering the Recalculation Event and saving, click on the Retro Components button.

The Recalculation window is divided into 2 sections.

The top section indicates how the element is to be processed in Retropay Component. The Reprocess Type indicates how the Element is to be processed in Retropay. For the US, there is one Component available called ªRetropayº and one Reprocess Type called ªReprocessº. The ªDefault Componentº check box must be checked.

The second half of this window relates to the entry that is to be created for the delta. The Element Type used for the new Entry is based on a set of rules arou

ar element entry.

Retropay (Enhanced)===================The RetroPay by Element process used an Element Set to indicate which element changes should be brought forward. An Element Set is no longer required. The setup of the Retro Components now identifies the elements to be used by the retropayprocess.

Parameters:

Effective Date (required)Payroll (required)

Retropay (Enhanced) is a sequenced action. This means the Effective Date must be later than your last event. For example: your current payroll period is April 16 to 29. Your previous payroll's check date was April 22. The Effective Date would be any date between April 23 and the end date of the current payroll run, which is April 29.

Retropay (Enhanced) produces multiple retroactive element entries for each element entry, which changed for each payroll period. Elements with exact names willbe combined on the statement of earnings (SOE), check, deposit advice and online payslip.

The detail of the period the retro element was generated as a result of is displayed on the Entries window in the current payroll period. The element entry's Original Date Earned is populated with the pay period that the difference is from. There is a Retrospective check box also. This check box will be checked for any entry created by the Retropay (Enhanced) process
