Defining Run Types

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Run Types Page	GP_RUN_TYPE	Specify the process list to be used, whether to process retroactive triggers, and other processing parameters.

Use the Run Types page (GP_RUN_TYPE) to specify the process list to be used, whether to process retroactive triggers, and other processing parameters.

Set Up HCM > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Framework > Processing > Run Types > Run Types

Note: After processing begins, you cannot edit fields on the Run Types page. To make changes, cancel the pay run.

Field or Control	Description
Calculation Type	Select Payroll Calculation or Absence Calculation.
Allow Duplicates	Select to allow duplicate segments. If you don't select this check box, then while the payee selection process creates the segment status records, the system determines whether other segment stat records exist with the same employee ID, employee record, pay group, run type, period ID, segment from dates and segment to dates (both must match). The system creates a new segment stat record if a matching one doesn't exist. This check box ensures that duplicates are or aren't made in certain situations. For example, you might create a calendar to calculate off-cycle payments but need to avoid paying the payees again during the regular payroll cycle. If the check box isn't selected, the system notes those occurrences and doesn't double-pay. If you're creating a calendar to process bonus or commission payroll runs, you might have multiple calendar IDs defined and the same payee is allowed to be paid in more than one calendar. If the check box is selected, the appropriate payees are paid twice. Note: Regardless of setting, the system never creates overlapping segments for the same payee within a calendar. If you have processed a partial period with payee calendar overrides or an off-cycle advance, on subsequent processing of the same calendar the system will only process remaining portions of the period, thus avoiding processing overlaps.

Retro Adjustment Sources

Field or Control	Description
Run Type Name	Enter additional run types for which the system includes retroactive adjustments during the pay run. For example, you can select a bonus run type as an additional retroactive adjustment source for your regular payroll run type. This enables you to automatically forward retroactive deltas for payee bonuses during your regular payroll run so that your payees don't have to wait for the more infrequent and irregular bonus pay runs to receive their retroactive bonus adjustments. See Unprocessed Retro Deltas Page.
