 Messages HKG page

You can configure text messages that appear on payslips and select the recipient level to which the message is distributed. You can select the following recipient levels:

  • All employees who are identified in the calendar group.

  • All payees who are associated with a group build ID.

  • Employees who are in a specific employee list.

Field or Control

Description

Message Number

Enter the message ID that the system uses to receive the correct message for the correct payees. Arrays and formulas combine to retrieve the correct message. You can enter multiple numbers for multiple messages.

Message Level and Group ID

Select the recipient of the message:

All: All payees that are identified in the calendar group.

Group: All payees that are included in a group that is built by using the Group Build Definition feature in HR (called VC Group Build in Variable Compensation). If you select this value, the Payee Message link becomes unavailable for selection and you can select a group ID.

The HK AR GRP BLD ID array extracts all employees that exist for the group build ID that might also exist for the calendar group ID. This array uses the processing formula HK FM GRP BLD ID. The array extracts all employees from the Group Build result table (GB_GRP_RES_TBL).

Group List: All payees that are in a list that is built by using the Global Payroll Group List feature. If you select this value, the Payee Message link becomes available for selection.

Message

Enter the text of the message that is to appear on selected payslips.

Note: The HK AR PSLP MSG writable array extracts the payslip message level and message. It uses the processing formula HK FM PSLP MSG, which retrieves the correct message for the correct calendar group ID. This array extracts all fields from the payslip message record (GPHK_PSLP_MSG) and writes the message to the writable array result table (GPHK_PSLP_RSLT). The writable array stores data from certain system elements, such as the pay period to and from dates and payslip messages.
