DeepSeek eTRM - PAY Tables and Views in Oracle EBS 12.1.1/12.2.2

Overview

The DeepSeek Electronic Technical Reference Manual (eTRM) provides comprehensive documentation on Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) tables and views, specifically for the Payroll (PAY) module in versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. The PAY module handles payroll processing, compensation management, and statutory compliance, with its underlying database structure comprising hundreds of tables and views that store and process payroll-related data.

Core PAY Tables

The PAY module's data model is organized into logical groupings: 1. Employee Earnings & Deductions:
  • PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F - Stores element entries for employees
  • PAY_ELEMENT_LINKS_F - Links elements to payroll definitions
  • PAY_RUN_RESULTS - Contains calculated payroll results
2. Payroll Processing:
  • PAY_PAYROLLS_F - Master table for payroll definitions
  • PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS - Tracks payroll processing steps
  • PAY_ASSIGNMENT_ACTIONS - Logs assignment-level processing
3. Tax & Compliance:
  • PAY_TAXABILITY_RULES - Defines tax calculation rules
  • PAY_US_EMP_FED_TAX_RULES_F - US federal tax rules (country-specific)
  • PAY_STATUTORY_DEDUCTIONS - Statutory deduction requirements

Key Views

Oracle provides several views that simplify access to payroll data: 1. Reporting Views:
  • PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_V - Consolidated view of element entries
  • PAY_PAYROLL_REGISTER_V - Payroll register information
2. Integration Views:
  • PAY_ALL_PAYROLLS_V - Payroll definitions for integration
  • PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_VALUES_V - Element entry values for interfaces

Technical Architecture

The PAY module follows Oracle's EBS architecture principles:
  • Effective-dated tables (with _F suffix) for historical tracking
  • Multi-org enabled tables for multi-organization support
  • PL/SQL packages (PAY_PAYRL_PKG, PAY_ELE_PKG) for business logic
  • Concurrent programs for batch processing

Version Differences (12.1.1 vs 12.2.2)

While the core structure remains consistent, 12.2.2 introduces:
  • Enhanced tables for cloud integration
  • New views for HCM Analytics
  • Additional columns in existing tables for new features
  • Performance optimizations in key tables

Implementation Considerations

When working with PAY tables:
  • Always use APIs for data modifications
  • Respect effective dating in custom queries
  • Consider performance impact when joining large tables
  • Review Oracle's support recommendations before direct table access
The DeepSeek eTRM provides detailed column-level documentation, indexes, constraints, and relationships for all PAY tables and views, serving as an essential reference for Oracle Payroll implementations, customizations, and integrations.
