Fusion HCM: Testing Payroll templates

 

Oracle’s Fusion HCM cloud service uses BIP templates as part of its pay processing. When the Payoll processes are submitted, HCM does a lot of things, it generates the Pay data, and populates tables. But the final step of this process is to generate the actual payslip , and for this it invokes a BIP report. © 2016 cleartext.blogspot.com

As report designer, I often get requests to modify these reports. But to test the reports, one need not run the entire payroll process again. Simply re-running the report with the modified template will suffice. © 2016 cleartext.blogspot.com

The BIP template to modify for US is the USOnlinePayslip.

To see when it was last run, simply check the history of this report, under More-> History. Reset the query and run search.

 

Pick up any of the last records, and drilldown  on it. Now copy the Payroll Action Identifier from this page © 2016 cleartext.blogspot.com

Now you can go back and re-run this report with this parameter, and can see the changes of your template instantly ! Ta-da ! © 2016 cleartext.blogspot.com
