Search Results pay_run_results

The PAY_RUN_RESULTS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical component of the Oracle Payroll module, storing detailed payroll calculation results for employees. This table serves as the foundation for payroll processing, capturing computed earnings, deductions, taxes, and other elements generated during a payroll run. Below is a detailed technical overview of its structure, purpose, and integration within Oracle EBS.

1. Purpose and Functionality

The PAY_RUN_RESULTS table stores granular payroll results for each employee processed in a payroll run. It records:

• Earnings: Regular pay, overtime, bonuses, and other compensations.
• Deductions: Statutory or voluntary deductions like taxes, benefits, or loans.
• Tax Calculations: Tax withholdings at federal, state, or local levels.
• Accruals: Leave balances or other accrual-based payments.

Each row represents a unique payroll element result for an employee in a specific payroll run, linked to the PAY_ASSIGNMENT_ACTIONS table via ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID.

2. Key Columns and Relationships

The table includes critical columns such as:

• RUN_RESULT_ID: Primary key, uniquely identifying each payroll result.
• ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID: Foreign key linking to PAY_ASSIGNMENT_ACTIONS, which ties results to payroll runs.
• ELEMENT_TYPE_ID: References PAY_ELEMENT_TYPES_F to identify the payroll element (e.g., salary, tax).
• STATUS: Indicates result status (e.g., 'PAID', 'VOIDED').
• AMOUNT: Monetary value of the result.
• TAX_UNIT_ID: Links to tax jurisdiction details in PAY_TAX_UNITS.

Relationships with other tables:

• PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F: Source of element entries for calculations.
• PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS: Parent payroll run context.
• PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_F: Employee assignment details.

3. Technical Implementation

The table is populated during payroll execution via:

• Payroll Run Process: The Payroll Process (PYUGEN) generates results based on element entries, rules, and formulas.
• Retro Pay: Adjustments for past periods create new rows with corrected amounts.
• QuickPay: Ad-hoc payments insert additional rows.

Data is stored in a normalized structure, with indexing on ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID, ELEMENT_TYPE_ID, and RUN_RESULT_ID for performance.

4. Integration and Reporting

PAY_RUN_RESULTS feeds downstream processes:

• Payslip Generation: Results are aggregated for employee payslips.
• General Ledger: Posted via Payroll Transfer to GL (PYTGL).
• Tax Reporting: Used for year-end filings (e.g., W-2, 1099).
• Third-Party Payments: Exported for bank or benefit provider processing.

Custom reports often query this table for audit trails or reconciliation.

5. Common Customizations and Considerations

• Formula Adjustments: Custom formulas may modify results before insertion.
• Retroactive Processing: Requires careful handling to avoid data corruption.
• Performance: Large payroll runs may necessitate partitioning or archiving.

Conclusion

The PAY_RUN_RESULTS table is central to Oracle Payroll, capturing the output of payroll calculations for compliance, reporting, and payment processing. Its design supports complex payroll scenarios while maintaining data integrity through relationships with other core tables. Understanding its structure is essential for troubleshooting, customization, and optimizing payroll operations in Oracle EBS.
