Has anyone implemented i Benefits with Oracle HR? A small enterprise (300
ees) I am working with is considering interfacing this application with
Oracle HR. This application offers the ability for the employees to
directly select benefit choices then produces a statement of their choices
and the $ impact on their paycheck. I wondered how reliable this
application is and how well the i Benefit interfaces work with Oracle.

Subject: interface issues??
Hi All,
We are in the process of desiging the check printing interface with
one of the third party s/w . Will someone pls suggest what all steps need to
be done to take care of the interface of the file coming from Oracle Check
Writer and the third party s/w. I mean do I need to look at the .rdf files
for check printing and deposit advice printing and determine what all is
printed where?? or can I do without that.
thanks a lot in advance..

RE: [orahrms-l] interface issues?? sending again..
Manu,
We are also using a third party vendor (two in fact) to print our checks. It
was extremely important to them that we tell them what was where in the
output file. Also, make sure that your test file accounts for all the
possibilities.
I.E. :
Direct Deposit vs. Check
Fully populated earnings and deductions
Fully populated address lines
Minimal address
Minimal earnings/deductions
Message line(s) if applicable
Etc., etc., etc.

Interface Payroll with Pro Business

Subject: Interfacing to Pro Business
Is anyone interfacing Oracle Payroll to Pro Business for tax filings? Any
experiences (good or bad)? We are especially interested in hearing how the
year end process was approached and how it went.
Thanks,
Alice

Alice,
We are currently running 10.7 SC Prod. 16.1, and we interface to Pro
Business. I can't say that all of our experiences have been good, but
I'm not sure if some are self-inflicted. We had a 3rd party write our
interface, and I think that's where our problems began. I think it's
always best to have the knowledge in house whenever possible. When we
interface after each payroll, we don't get a detailed breakdown report
of where the numbers are coming from. For instance, it would've been
nice for balancing reasons, if when we interface, we knew exactly what
employees and what action types (quick pays, reversals, etc.) were being
picked up in the interface. Balancing is by far our biggest problem
because we don't have that detailed breakdown of what we're sending to
PB. As far as PB filing on our behalf, I don't think we've had any
issues. They did our state tax filings for last year in February, but
we did our own W-2's. They've always been on time and have been good
with coming to our site to meet in person.
If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to have an in-house
developer write the interface and also to write a report that shows the
detail of the figures you'll be transmitting to PB. Feel free to call
with any other questions.

[orahrms-l] Co-existence of Oracle Payroll and Payroll Outsourcer
I have a client that is considering implementing the Oracle Payroll
Application and interfacing the application to their third party Payroll
outsourcer - at least for another year or two. I have some serious
concerns with this arrangement, but would like to speak with anyone that
has ever been involved in such an implementation. Can anyone offer any
pro's and con's of this type of arrangement? If you have any input to
this issue, please forward a phone number at which I can reach you. I
need to help my client make a decision fairly quickly.
Thanks,

HRMS integration with Projects - Query 3

[orahrms-l] Projects to Payroll Interface
Hello folks:
We are in the process of implementing HRMS 10.7 SC (both HR and Payroll). We are
already in production with Projects. We want to evaluate different ways of
bringing the Timecard information from Projects into Payroll. We are all the
time expecting that a process might exist either in Projects or in Payroll which
transfers all the Timecard information from Projects to Payroll. But when we see
in the system(both Projects and Payroll) for such kind of interface program we
could not be able to find one.
Now the question is how other folks are integrating Projects to Payroll
information. Do we have to build our own interface and populate the PAYMIX
tables? or is there any out of box interface exist some where in Projects or in
Payroll?
we want to hear how other folks are dealing the issue with Oracle Projects and
Oracle Payroll integration.
Any comments or experiences are appreciated.
Thanks
Krishna
We are struggling with the exact same issue here at my client site. The only option Oracle
offers to link HR/Payroll with Projects is Oracle Time Management (OTM). Timecards are entered
here and there are interfaces that populate both the project tables and PayMix.
For various reasons, we are finding OTM to be cumbersome for heads down data entry. The autogen
feature does not include default projects, so all timecards would have to be keyed. We are now
exploring using Lotus Notes to capture the timecard data and writing interfaces to both PayMix
and Projects.
Before going down this road, you should explore the OTM option. Even though it did not fit here,
you may find that it meets your needs.
Hope this helps.

[orahrms-l] Re[2]: [orahrms-l] Projects to Payroll Interface
Well if there is no built in interface program exist, then we will follow the
alternate route!. We have developed a Web -based Time Entry system
(Web:Tea/Time) which integrates with Projects (and validates the projects info).
So, we will build the interface to both Projects (which already in place) and
Payroll and make the Web:Tea/Time as central point for all Timecard changes.
Any way I thank all the folks who provided me valuable information
