Maintaining Parameters and Parameter Groups for Payroll Processes

Action parameters enable you to set the conditions that control your payroll processing. Use the Action Parameters window to define your parameter values and create parameter groups. You can create a default group to specify global values, or you can define your own group to provide a customized set of processing conditions.

Note: If you create your own group, select it in the user profile option HR:Action Parameter Group Name for a responsibility. Use that responsibility when you want to run processes using the customized parameters.

    Note: You cannot enable a named parameter group as the default group.

  1. From the parameters tab, select the name of the parameter that you want to modify, or enter a parameter name.

    For details of the parameters that you can enter, see the Technical Essay: Payroll Action Parameters.

  2. Enter a value for the parameter name. For example, Trace has a value of either Y or N.

    Note: We recommend that Trace is set to N, because setting it to Y imposes an extra processing load on the payroll processes.

    If you do not specify any values for the parameters that you select, then the values held at the global level default to the group level. But, if values are specified at the group level, then the group level values take precedence over the global parameter values.
