Performing Rapid Calculation

The Rapid Calculation feature lets administrators quickly calculate an employees' net pay from their gross pay and review the results without navigating away from the current page, significantly speeding up the calculation.

This topic discusses the pages required to set up rapid calculation and discusses how to perform rapid calculation:

To define the components where Rapid Calc option is enabled.

The Rapid Calculation feature enables Global Payroll administrators to correct individual payroll calculation errors and instantly recalculate employee pay from any data entry or modification page (for example, GP Core, Country Extensions, Customer pages, or other HCM products like Job (HR)). A Rapid Calc button on each page triggers the payroll process. This functionality is implemented using Page Field Configuration (PFC) to avoid needing changes to Country Extensions, other products, or customer environments.

Note: If both component lockdown and rapid calculation features are enabled for a component, the component lockdown feature will take priority. For details on component lockdown, see Understanding HCM Lockdown Framework.

Use the Rapid Calculation Setup page (GP_RCL_COMP_DEFN) to define the components where Rapid Calc option is enabled.
