401K Withholdings and Matches report

Subject: [orahrms-l] Report for 401K Withholdings and Matches
From: "Heather Budnik" HBUDNIK@indianapolis.olivellp.com
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 16:24:20 -0500

We need a report that shows the following information for all employees that are making contributions to a 401K:

Name
Social Security Number
Gross Compensation
401K Withheld
Company Match

We need to give this information to a third-party administrator monthly.

We have two 401K elements (one for flat-rate withholding and one for percentage withholding). We're using a custom balance (defined in the Balance form) for Gross Compensation, in order to include both regular and supplemental earnings in the withholding. We also have two company match elements defined; each 401K withholding element calculates the company match and passes the result to the company match element. We're on 10.7 NCA.

Does anyone have a report that's similar to what we need? Any suggestions as to the best way to approach this? Would we need to use the Oracle Report Writer, or is there an easier way to do it?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Heather: You need to create a PL/SQL program to get this information out to the third-party administrator. Use the delivered Oracle Packages to get balances on Gross Compensation, etc. The other data (name, ssn, etc.)can be pulled from base tables. Let me know if you need more information.

SQWL Rollback stuck

Subject: [orahrms-l] SQWL Rollback "Stuck"
From: "Ken Stovesand" Ken_Stovesand@norstanconsult.com
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1999 13:50:02 -0400

My client has "stuck" SQWLs for two states. From a rollback perspective, they appear to have already been rolled back (i.e. they do not appear on the LOV for processes that are available to be rolled back). From the viewpoint of re-running the SQWLs, they appear to be already run (i.e. the LOV for the Format parameter has no entries). The original SQWL processes for these states ended in error due to a "max extents" database problem which has since been corrected. SQWLs for other states can be run, rolled back, and re-run without problems. Oracle support is struggling; any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anytime a payroll process terminates with an error, you must run a special process from the Unix prompt called a "FORCE UNDO". Oracle Support should know this and maybe you have already tried this. If not, let me know, and I'll try to dig up the syntax.

From: "Ken Stovesand" Ken_Stovesand@norstanconsult.com
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 15:40:32 -0400

Thanks for the inputs. The problem was finally resolved this morning by deleting rows in the following tables that are associated with the payroll action ids for the "stuck" SQWLs. The tables are:

1. ff_archive_items (payroll_action_id = [payroll action id])
2. pay_assignment_actions (payroll_action_id = [payroll action id])
3. pay_message_lines (source_type = 'P' and source_id = [payroll action id])
4. pay_payroll_actions (payroll_action_id = [payroll action id])

Note that if the deletion for table number 3 is not performed first, an error may result when attempting to perform deletion of rows from table number 4.

Thanks again for your responses.

The Command is :-

The is the id of the payroll run that you want to remove

The '' is 2 single quotes not a double quote

Local version of SQWL

From: "Ken Stovesand" Ken_Stovesand@norstanconsult.com
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 13:01:55 -0400

We have the need to report quarterly wage list data to specific local jurisdictions. The information is similar to that provided by the SQWL reports but must of course be limited in scope of employees reported. Is there a "local" version of the SQWL that allows reporting to the local level? How are others solving this problem? Thanks for your response.

George

I believe that the PYUGEN call below calls the following packaged procedure:-

py_rollback_pkb.rollback_payroll_action(payroll_action_id)

There are several other parmeters in the call, the payroll_action_id is the only none defaulted one.

401K ACH file

From: "Dhawan, Radhika (Oracle Financial)" RDhawan@sigeco.com

Hi All,

Has anyone sent a file to their bank for their 401K interface with the total debit and credit amounts. It looks like a direct deposit NACHA file except that it has to be produced from scratch unlike the Direct deposit file that Oracle automatically produces in the out directory. Basically this file would have the debit and credit amounts that go to the bank in the NACHA format.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!!


Signal 11 on running a report

Subject: [orahrms-l] Signal 11 Error
From: Pallavi Grandhi pallavi.grandhi@deltec.com
Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 10:08:29 -0500

Hello,

I am submitting a concurrent request (which runs a report) which completes with a error. When I look at the request log it says that it completed with a signal 11 error. I looked at the managers log, it just had the information about starting the concurrent managers.

The report that this concurrent manager is trying to run is a monster report. It prints the paychecks of 650 employees. It should take 4 hours to complete. I was able to run this report 2 times before without any error. Even now, I can run the report by restricting the data (group of employees rather than 650). If I try to run this report for 650 employees, it is processing till 646 employees and then it is erroring out.

I was looking at one of the previous mail which says that, this error might be because of some system parameters sized too small. Is any one aware of what system parameters to check for.

Please Help.
Thank You

Check to be sure the report was FTP'ed to the server in binary mode. I think I've seen this error when FTP'ing reports in ASCII.

First check with Oracle support for any known problems with your hardware. I think signal 11 is a memory problem. It might be your report requires a lot of memory and disk swapping. If it uses a lot of resource you may want to try and tune it.

Error APP-0687 on execution of Quickpaint Report

Subject: [orahrms-l] Quickpaint
From: "Goodyear, Michael" Michael.Goodyear@ncp.co.uk
Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 13:38:46 +0100

Hi All,

I am having a problem trying to run a quickpaint report against an assignment set.

I get an APP-0687: Error occurred during formula execution.

Cause: An error of data type ASG_JOB not found at line 6 of mg_test_set.

This error occurs with any '&ASG' item picked as the criteria in the assignment set, and the line number always points to the line 'ELSE INCLUDE_FLAG = 'N'' in the formula ( I assume that it is falling over when it comes across an employee that doesn't match the criteria )

I have applied 'C patch 830192' as advised by WWS, but still have the problem, a BUG has now been raised by them.

Any insight into a way around this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA Mick.


Payroll Register Report - Patch 887057

From: Ellen Young EYoung@FAMILYDOLLAR.com

Has anyone applied this patch for the updated Payroll Register Report? WWS indicated that there exists a bug with the report that if it is run multiple times w/the same parameters, the report returns different results. We have not been able to replicate this, but want to apply the patch as it is contained in another patch (874692) that would address some problems we are having. Anyone having problems with the Payroll Register Report? We are on 10.7 NCA.

Does anyone have any experience with patch 873000 (Gross to Net Report) patch. There are a couple pre-reqs for this patch, which we have applied, but the report is still taking over 13 hours to run for one payroll. Oracle has logged a bug (823718) that is in development, but I cannot get any information on this bug off MetaLink.

Hi Folks:

I have couple of questions here:

1. I have loaded the initial balances in to oracle. After running quickpay, I have seen all the ytd and current balances on soe report but yesterday, you have got new instance, in this instance I did the same steps, infact same set up(hope fully) but this time i have seen only ytd balances in soe report not current runs. could any body through some light on this issue.

2. I checked after loading initial balances using tax balance view form, there for tax category SS, the excess amount is showing in negative values and excess and exempt values are different. Exempt values are in positive side

I would appreciate, if some body have any ideas.

Thanks Lokanadha raju


Report by Assignment No., containing GRE, TIme details etc.

From: "Michael Scott" mscott@goodegg.com
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 15:11:12 -0400

Does any one out there have any idea on the following reports

1. I want a report by assignment #, then GRE other information such as GRE, Timecard Required and shift worked. This other GRE information appears only to be a view and the TRM does not have any useful suggestions on where to find this information.

2. Assignment # with Job and Exempt Non Exempt Status (classified in other job information). Same issue as above, and the TRM is of no use in this case.

Thanks to anyone with any sql ideas on this.

#2. SELECT PA.ASSIGNMENT_NUMBER, PJ.NAME, PJ.JOB_INFORMATION3 FROM
PER_ASSIGNMENTS_F PA, PER_JOBS PJ
WHERE PA.JOB_ID = PJ.JOB_ID

JOB_INFORMATION3 will either be EX or NEX depending upon whether it's Exempt or Non-Exempt.
You'll most likely also want to join PER_PEOPLE_F and include
EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and/or EFFECTIVE_END_DATE

Hope this helps,

Each of these contributions ee and er 401k presumably feed an appropriate balance.

A script/report to loop thru all assignment actions calling pay_balance_pkg.get_value in assignment action mode would do the job. The defined_balance_id's you'd want to pass are probably the one's for (BALANCENAME)_ASG_GRE_RUN.

This would give you the figures you want, could be written fairly quickly, and is a handy script to have.

If you really want the figures by "date earned" then that's another story - unless you're date earned's are the same as your effective/pay/check date, which is rarely the case.

G O:

Your observation about Costing is accurate. This is not a bug. This is a "feature". I agree with you that the report should provide appropriate balancing information but it doesn't. In the meantime, prepare to write something custom if you desire to review this information prior to transferring to the GL.

Hope this helps,

We are using ver 10.7 SC; prod 16.1

We have a requirement to perform the following auditing steps:

1) Salary increases greater than x% (probably will be 10%)
2) Identify specific supplemental earnings (not all types) such as bonus; achievement awards; sign-on bonus; etc.

We want to be able to generate separate reports of each of these.

Any ideas short of creating custom reports?

George:

This sounds like several Oracle Alerts.

I would create one alert for the salary increase and an alert for each of the elements used for the identification of the supplemnental earnings.

In addition to being able to generate a report out of each alert, you cna also send an email to the appropriate person(s) informing them of what has happened.

Please contact me if you need additonal information.

All,

You may want to use something more generic than oracle alerts, this does not give you the flexibility to generate report.

I would recommend placing a trigger on the table, or event which copies in a custom table which would allow you to capture and run reports based on user defined protocol.

DBMS_ALERT is a pre-packaged Oracle package which will allow you to send messages also.

Resident and Non-Resident Aliens Tax Reporting Requirments

Subject: [orahrms-l] Resident and Non-Resident Aliens Tax Reporting Requirments
From: "Kuoppala, Beverly A" bkuoppala@kpmg.com
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 23:25:06 -0400

Can anyone help Janice with this one? If so, we would appreciate it.

Beverly Kuoppala

All,

I am currently working at a client site where they have a large population of non-resident alien individuals. During the setup of the Oracle HRMS Payroll module (Release 11.0.2), the system configuration needs to address the business requirement of tracking the amounts paid to non-resident aliens separate from the amounts paid to resident aliens to meet year-end tax reporting requirements.

Generally, non-resident aliens receive a Form 1042-S and resident aliens receive a Form W-2.

What I believe I must do is setup an element for each non-resident reportable income code and tie each to a salary basis. If I allow these individuals to be paid with the pre-defined element of regular wages or regular salary, I believe the amounts will feed a balance which will appear on a Form W-2 instead of the required Form 1042-S. This is not what I want.

Has anyone tackled this issue??? And are there other solutions that you have tested and documented the success?

Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
