Assigning PTU Eligibility to Earnings

Oracle HRMS uses two balances to calculate PTU amounts. These balances provide you the flexibility to select which earnings and days should contribute towards the basis for calculating the profit sharing amounts for each employee.

You need to make sure the balance feeds are set up appropriately for these balances before you run the Profit Sharing Report. You can associate these secondary classifications with any existing earnings elements from the Balance Feeds window.

See: Creating Balance Feeds for Individual Elements

Note: Although you can modify the balance feeds for these Profit Sharing balances as often as desired before running the Profit Sharing Report, altering balance feeds affects derivation of balances and can cause reports and processes to run slower.

When defining a new earnings element, you associate these secondary classifications through the Element Design Wizard.
