This section provides an overview on processing Global Payroll and discusses how to:

Run the Time Administration process.
Run the Publish Estimated Payable Time process.
Run the Payroll/Absence process.
View payee messages.
Run the Time and Labor process.

Understanding Global Payroll Processing

PeopleSoft Global Payroll processes payees and elements by utilizing a very specific processing order. All components of your defined system come together at the time that you execute a payroll or absence run.

To take advantage of the Global Payroll processing capabilities, you must understand how the system processes payroll and absence runs and what options are available. The Global Payroll PeopleBook discusses key processing features, preparations, steps for running the process, and status codes for monitoring processing.

To run the payroll process for Global Payroll:

Run the Time and Labor Time Administration Application Engine process (TL_TIMEADMIN) to generate payable time.
Run the Publish Estimated Payable Time (TL_PUB_TM_AE) Application Engine process.

The Publish Estimated Payable Time Application Engine process sends the estimates for payable and billable time to Project Costing.
Run the Payroll/Absence Run Control to enter payroll processing instructions.

You will run this process at least twice. Run it once to calculate. Then view payee messages and run the Payroll Absence process to finalize.
View payee messages.

Payee messages report errors and warnings that are generated during the Calculate phase. The system displays messages that are defined by PeopleSoft in the Message Catalog and any unique messages that you created using formula elements. The message log is erased when you run the Finalize process.
Run the Time and Labor Run Control to update the status of payable time entries in Time and Labor.

Processing Workers Compensation

This section provides an overview on processing workers compensation and discusses how:

Updating the batch publish rules.
Running the Workers Compensation Premium Calculation process.
Running the Workers Compensation GL Interface process.
Running the Batch Publish process.

Understanding Workers Compensation Processing

To run the workers compensation process:

Update the Batch Publish Rules.

Define the parameters for a batch publish. This allows you to utilize the Batch Publish process to publish your workers compensation accounting entries to the general ledger. Complete this process once only.
Run the Workers Compensation Premium Calculation process.

This SQR process (FOWC0004) writes data to the Workers' Compensation Premium table. Review and rerun this process if necessary.
Run the Workers Compensation to GL Interface process.

This SQR process creates the workers' compensation premium accounting entries and writes data to the HR accounting line table. Run this process once only per paid period end date.
Run the Batch Publish process.

This process takes the accounting entries for a specific process instance of FOWC0009 and moves the entries from HR accounting line in the HRMS database to HR accounting line in the Financials database.

Note. After you run your workers compensation processes, you must run the General Ledger process to publish your payroll data to General Ledger.
