To set up the TIAA CREF OPS layout:
Enter the PPG and Billing Code into the TIAA CREF Setup Codes window by navigating to the Additional Organization Information window for the appropriate GRE/Legal Entity and selecting TIAA CREF Setup Codes.
Do this for each GRE that the TIAA CREF OPS layout will use.
The PPG Code and Billing Codes are assigned to your institution by TIAA CREF. The Billing code is attached to the PPG code.
Enter the PPG and Billing Code for each assignment in the Assignment window by clicking Others and then selecting TIAA CREF Setup Codes to open a window where you can enter the appropriate codes.
Enter the TIAA CREF Mode of Payment Code in the Payroll Window's Further Payroll Information Flexfield.
Do this for each payroll that the TIAA CREF Interface will use.
Note: You can also enter a PPG and Billing Code in this Flexfield. If you do, it will override the code you entered in the Assignment window.
All TIAA CREF mode of payment codes are defined in the List of Values for the TIAA CREF Mode of Payment Code field.
Set up the appropriate elements and balance feeds for each employee who will be making TIAA CREF contributions.
To enable Assignment and Element Extra Information Types for a responsibility the EITs: PAY_US_TIAA_CREF_CONT_TYPES, US_TIAA_CREF_CONT_TYPES and PQP_US_TIAA_CREF_CODES must be added, if not added previously, at: (N) Security -> Information Type Security.
There are no seeded elements or balances. The Amount reported in the flat file will be the pay value of the element which has Source and Sub Plan entered at its Extra Information.
The Primary balance of the element is used to get the Run balance value (Amount) and it should be unique across element entries.
The .out file reports the set of records (01, 03,04, 05 and 33) at element entry level. i.e. for every element entry processed in the run will have a set of records generated in the flat file provided that element has the source and sub plan associated with it.
Source and Sub Plan for a direct element entry can be overridden at Assignment Extra Information.
The Precedence for Plan number is Element, Assignment, Payroll and Organization level. If it is not present at any of these level then an error will be generated for the assignment in the Exception Report.
Once you have set up Oracle Payroll to use the TIAA CREF interface, you can run the TIAA CREF OPS Layout Report.
