Reviewing Delivered Setup Data in the Global Payroll Database

The Global Payroll database must be set up to send payroll data to Performance Management. PeopleSoft delivers all of the sample data necessary for this purpose. However, you may need to modify this data so that it is country specific. The following is a list of PeopleSoft delivered data that must be defined in your Global Payroll database for integration with Performance Management:

  • Writable Array: GP WA GUIDE.

  • Report Data: GP_EPM.

  • PSJob Job Definition: GP_PAYE.

GP_PAYE consists of the following processes:

  • GP_PAYBEFORE: This Application Engine process is intended to perform any desired pre-payroll processing. It includes sections to add country-specific processing logic.

  • GPPDPRUN: This COBOL SQL process performs the main Global Payroll and Absence Management calculations.

  • GP_PAYAFTER: This Application Engine program supports post-payroll processing. It also included sections to add country-specific processing logic. In addition, this program:

    • Checks to see if the payroll process had been finalized successfully, and if so, calls the program that launches the Report Data process. The Report Data process populates the Global Payroll "EPM" tables with earning, deduction, and accumulator information for all processed payees.

    • Calls a section to extract processing monitor data if the Enable Positive Input Search check box is selected on the Installation Settings Page.

    • Calls a section to extract absence analytics data if the Enable Pivot Grid Analytics check is selected on the Installation Settings Page.
