Invalid or Processing status records - Generate Run Balances

There can be following reasons for processing status

1) Generate run balances process is still running
2) You had PROCESS_TIMEOUT for this process and that limit is reached so process was gracefully terminated.
3) Generate run balances process has been terminated or killed due to some reason

so you can wait till process complete sucessfully in case of process still running.

You can find what are all balances which are in invalid or processing status with following SQL

SELECT * FROM PAY_BALANCE_VALIDATION;

Now you have two options in case of PROCESS_TIMEOUT or termination/killed

OPTION 1: Retry the GRB (Preferred Solution as it starts back up where it left off)

Resp: Responsibility Generate Run Balance was Submitted Under

Nav: Process & Reports > Submit Process & Reports > Single Request

Name: Retry US Payroll Process (US Legislation)

Parameters:

- Process Year: 4712
- Process Type: Magnetic Report
- Process: LOV

The LOV should show the Generate Run Balance process that have executed.

Select the process to retry.

OPTION 2: Start the process over (Note: All previous will be lost)

In order to get the status to change from Processing - you must manually switch the status flag (Contact Support for information concerning how to perform this) from P (Process) to I (Invalid).

Then the process can be submitted again with the MODE parameter set to ALL INVALIDS.

NOTE: That running the ALL BALANCES or ALL INVALIDS (if there is a large quantity) for ASSIGNMENT Level will process for a long time.

Please note that it is recommended that when ever executing the GRB or ARDB for ALL BALANCES or ALL INVALID (if a large amount exist) that the PROCESS_TIMEOUT parameter should be set on the Pay_Action_Parameters table to control the execution time of the process.

Check Oracle Application version for Specific Module

Following query can be used to find module version

select to_number(substr(product_version,1,2))
from fnd_product_installations
where APPLICATION_ID = 800

reference column details :GL_INTERFACE

reference21 :payroll_action_id -- payroll action ID for Transfer to GL process
reference22 :cost_allocation_keyflex_id
reference23 :run_date -- payroll run check date
reference24 :run_date_earned -- payroll run date earned
reference25 :run_action_id -- payroll action ID for payroll run process

The package called by Transfer to GL process : pay_trgl_pkg.trans_pay_costs

Transfer to GL Process transfer on date earned

If you want to set the accounting date for the transfer to date earned, then change the TGL_DATE_USED pay action parameter to "E".

If you do not do this then the accounting date of the transfer defaults to the check/cheque date of the originating payroll

Due to the fact that employees need to have distributed labor costs as per the time period derived from date earned , instead of the time period that payroll populates in payroll tables. Utilizing the parameter TGL_DATE_USED set to the value of ‘E’, will send transactions to GL based on date earned (when switch is enabled), Labor Distribution will also pick up only on the basis of date earned. The get_payroll_assig actions was modified to pick on the basis of date earned for regular run, quick pay and reversals.

Not Set - Normal costing will be transferred with an Accounting Date of the payroll run's effective date. Reversal of Estimate Costing will be transferred with an Accounting Date of the payroll periods Pay Advice Date + Payroll Offset Days.

'E' - Normal costing will be transferred with an Accounting Date of the payroll run's Date Earned. Reversal of Estimate Costing will be transferred with an Accounting Date of the payroll period's end date.

'EVE' - Normal costing will be transferred with an Accounting Date of the payroll run's effective date. Reversal of Estimate Costing will be transferred with an Accounting Date of the payroll period's end date.
