Creating Balance Feeds for Individual Elements

Use the Balance Feeds window to select balances to be fed by the input values of an element. Balances are either fed by whole classifications of elements or by individual elements, but not by both. Therefore, in this window you cannot select balances that are fed by classifications. You can query a balance in the Balance window and choose the Classifications button to view the list of classifications that feed it.

You can use an element to feed as many balances as you require.

arrow icon   To create balance feeds for one element:

  1. Set your effective date to when you want the balance feed to start.

  2. Enter or query the element in the Element window and choose the Balance Feeds button.

  3. In the Balance Feeds window, select the input value that you want to feed the balance with.

    The list displays all the input values defined for the element. These input values may have different units of measure. When you select an input value its unit of measure displays in the Units field. To feed a balance with the element's direct run result, select Pay Value.

  4. Select the balance you want the input value to feed.

    The list restricts your choice to balances having the same unit of measure as the input value you selected.

  5. Select Add or Subtract for the balance feed.

    Note: Secondary classifications and balance feed controls currently do not apply to the US version of Oracle Payroll.
