Follow these steps to set up elements for net-to-gross processing.

   To set up elements for net-to-gross process:

1. Define the elements, making sure you select the following rules:

   • On the Standard tab of the Element window:

     • Non-recurring

     • Final close for the termination rule

     • Multiple entries allowed

     • Skip rule of ONCE EACH PERIOD

       Mexico only: Skip rules are not enabled by default.

   • On the Advanced tab of the Element window:

     • Check the Gross Up check box

     • Select DEFAULT_GROSSUP in the Iterative Formula field

2. Choose the Input Values button to define the input values for these elements, as follows:

   Input Values for Net-to-Gross Earnings Types

   Input Value Name	Purpose of Entry	Checkbox: Required	Checkbox: User Enterable	Checkbox: Database Item
   Pay Value	Oracle Payroll returns the gross pay to this input value when it has completed the net-to-gross calculations.	No	Yes	Yes
   Amount	Gives iterative formula the desired net pay.	Yes	Yes	No
   Low Gross	Used by the iterative formula to hold the lower gross pay guess, to feed into the next iteration of the formula.	No	No	No
   High Gross	Used by the iterative formula to hold the higher gross pay guess, to feed into the next iteration of the formula.	No	No	No
   Remainder	The amount by which the additional pay to be paid by the employer (gross minus desired net) differs from the total of the balances that are eligible for grossup processing. Returned by the iterative formula.	No	No	No
   To Within	The amount by which actual net can differ from desired net after normal processing. Must not be zero but can be a nominal amount such as 0.01.	Yes	Yes	No
   Method	The method of iterative calculation: binary or interpolation. This determines which function the iterative formula calls. Use the lookup type ITERATIVE_METHOD and select the default INTERPOLATION, since this is usually the more efficient method.	Yes	Yes	No
   Additional Amount	The amount to add to desired net to calculate gross pay. Returned by the iterative formula.	No	No	No

3. Click Balance Feeds to confirm which balances feed your net-to-gross element.

   See: Creating Balance Feeds for Individual Elements

4. Click Balance Feeds Control to modify balance feeds that are not correct.

   See: Creating Classes of Balance Feeds

5. Click Iterative Rules to set up the processing rules for the iterative formula.

   See: Defining Iterative Processing Rules

6. Click Exclude Balances to select the deductions to be paid by the employer.

   See: Excluding Balances From an Element's Grossup Calculation

7. Define the formula result rules for your elements:

   1. Select the CALC_GROSSUP_PAY_VALUE formula for the Standard processing rule.

   2. Create a formula result rule to feed the PAYMENT_AMOUNT result as a direct result to the element's pay value.

   See: Defining Formula Processing and Result Rules

8. Define element links for your elements.
