Creating custom computes

After creating custom computes, you must add a subject to link the custom computes to pay codes or deduction codes.

See Adding a subject to custom computes

  1. As payroll administrators, select Payroll > Administration > Setup.

    For HR administrators, select HR Administration > Administration > Setup.

  2. In the Other pane, click Custom Computes.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Specify this information:
    Custom Compute
    Specify the name of the custom compute. Optionally, specify the description of the custom compute.
    Effective Date
    Optionally, specify an effective date of the custom compute.
    Business Class

    Link the custom compute of the business class by specifying one of these options:

    • EmployeeDeduction: Link the custom compute to a deduction code.
    • EmployeeTimerecord: Link the custom compute to a pay code.
    Active
    Select this check box to make the custom compute active.
  5. On the Editor tab, specify this information:
    Editor
    Specify the LPL code to calculate the custom compute.

    To calculate the amount in the employee time record, specify WorkAssignment.PayRate * WorkAssignment.FTE * Hours in this field. This code is used for pay codes with HCMComputePayCode subject in custom computes.

    To calculate the amount of employee deduction for payment, specify Employee.PrimaryWorkAssignment.FTE * NextAmount in this field. This code is used for deduction codes with HCMComputeDeductionCode subject in custom computes.

    Compute
    Select this option to compute the custom update according to the LPL code that you specify in the Editor field.
    Derived
    Select this option to derive the custom update according to the LPL code that you specify in the Editor field.
  6. Click Save.
