Partial Payroll Accruals to GL

Most of times your payroll periods date doesn't match with GL periods so your cost shown in GL will not be correct because it doesn't has cost for days between GL period end date and payroll period end date.

Oracle payroll provides a process named Partial Payroll Accrual Calculation to estimate cost for days missing in GL period. e.g. payroll period end date is 28-Feb but your GL period is ending on 21-Feb. In this case 7 days (28-Feb - 21-Feb) cost will be missing. The process provided by Oracle Payroll will calculate an estimate cost based on difference between payroll period end date and GL period end date divided by total number of days in payroll period multiply by actual cost for some pervious periods.

Vertex Tax Interface

Tax interface tells Oracle Payroll engine what vertex elements will be used while running payroll processes. There are 3 options

1) Standard - uses old vertex element and not recommended by Oracle

2) Enhanced - uses new vertex element and recommended by Oracle

3) Enhanced + Wage accumlation - This option uses new vertex element as well as accumulate wages for locality where tax are not calculated. e.g. A person lives in A city and works in B city. According to reciprocity rule, he is required to pay taxes only in B city but A city tells him to report his wages. In such cases this option is really helpful.

There is a process given by Oracle payroll named Select Tax interface by which you can set what option will be used. This is a package based concurrent program
