To integrate Oracle Fusion Absence Management with Global Payroll, two key configurations are required after creating the absence plan and elements. First, on the absence plan setup, you must enable the "Transfer absence payment information for payroll processing" option. This explicitly activates the data flow to payroll. Second, you must attach the corresponding absence element to the plan, linking the absence type to the correct payroll calculation. Additionally, as with any payroll element, you must define element eligibility. This ensures the absence element can be assigned to and processed for the correct group of employees during the payroll run.

A. An "Absence Calculation Card" is not a standard object used for this purpose. Absence details are transferred directly from the absence record to payroll element entries, not stored on a separate calculation card.

C. Manually entering absence units into element entries defeats the purpose of the automated integration. The integration is designed to automatically create these entries based on approved absence records.

Chapter 5: Absence Plans

Section: Set Up Absence Plans.

This document details the configuration of an absence plan. On the "Entries and Balances" tab of the plan setup

it states: "To transfer information for payroll processing

select the Transfer absence payment information for payroll processing check box." It also describes linking the absence element in the "Absence Payment Rate Rules" section.

Chapter 6: Elements

Section: Define Element Eligibility.

This guide explains: "You must define eligibility for every element you create. When you define an element

you must also specify who is eligible for it... The payroll process processes an element entry for a person only if the person is eligible for the element on the process date." This confirms that element eligibility is a mandatory step for the absence element to be processed.
