_PAYMENTS
Description
For a set of payroll runs.
General Office of Social Insurance Deductions

Oracle Payroll provides the elements, balances, formulas, and other components required to process GOSI deductions.
When the payroll run encounters an entry of
the GOSI element, it runs the predefined formula SA_GOSI_CALCULATION. This formula processes GOSI Annuities and
GOSI Hazards if you have specified
these deductions for your employees (on the GOSI Details tab of the Assignment window).
If an employee has an entry of the Setup GOSI Reference Salary element, the formula uses this elements pay value as
the base for calculating the GOSI deductions,
subject to any adjustment entered on the GOSI Reference Salary Adjustment element.
If there is no entry of the Setup GOSI Reference Salary element, the formula uses the base value returned by the GOSI
Reference formula, if you have written this
formula and attached it to your GRE.
Note: This formula must return the variable, GOSI_REFERENCE. If you do not define a GOSI Reference formula, Oracle
Payroll calculates the GOSI base from
the elements having the secondary classification Subject to GOSI.
If there are no elements with this secondary classification, Oracle Payroll calculates the GOSI deductions on the lower
limit of the base value provided for the GOSI
deductions.
GOSI Processing
GOSI payroll processing assesses the employees total earnings. If an employees earnings exceeds Employee GOSI
Annuities, then GOSI calculations
automatically process and deduct from the employees earnings. However, if the employees earnings are less than the
Employee GOSI Annuities, then the employer
pays on behalf of the employee, and this accrues as arrears for the employee.
Enrolling an Employee for GOSI Deductions

You can enroll an employee assignment to General Office of Social Insurance (GOSI) deductions using the Element
Entries window.
To enroll an employee assignment for GOSI deductions:

Step 1. Set your effective date to the date on which you want the GOSI deductions to come into effect.
Note: For New Hires, this should normally be the hire date. Deductions begin in the payroll period. This payroll run
retrospectively calculates employee and
employer deductions for GOSI.
Step 2. Choose New Record to enter a new element entry.
Step 3. Select the element GOSI to initiate the GOSI processing. You can enter costing information and a reason for
entering this element for the assignment. The
element has no input values.
Step 4. Choose New Record and select the element Setup GOSI Reference Salary if you want to specify a base value
10/ 18
11/ 24/ 12
Docum ent Display
for calculating GOSI deductions. If you do

not enter this element for the employee, the payroll run calculates the GOSI base using the GOSI Reference formula
attached to the GRE.
Step 5. Enter costing information and a reason, if required. For more information on costed data at the element entry
level, see: Data Costed at the Element Entry
Level in Oracle Applications Help.
Step 6. To enter a pay value for the element Setup GOSI Reference Salary, choose the Entry Values button to open the
Entry Values window. In the pay value field,
enter the base value for the GOSI calculations to use in the current year.
Step 7. In the Element Entries window, choose New Record and select the element GOSI Reference Salary Adjustment
if you want to change the base value for
GOSI calculations.
Step 8. Choose the Entry Values button to open the Entry Values window.
Step 9. Enter an amount in the Pay Value field, for the element GOSI Reference Salary Adjustment. You can use this
amount to adjust the base value for GOSI
deductions. This value can be a positive or negative. For example, suppose you have set the pay value for the element
Setup GOSI Reference Salary as 1000
(thousand dinar). If you want to decrease or increase the base for the GOSI deductions by 100 (hundred dinar) in the
current pay period only, enter +100 or -100
in the pay value field for the element GOSI Reference Salary Adjustment.
Step10. Save the Element Entry details.
Setting Up GOSI Processing

Oracle HRMS enables you to process General Office of Social Insurance (GOSI) contributions for employees using
predefined GOSI elements.
Before you start to process GOSI contributions, you need to do the following:.
To set up GOSI processing:

Step 1. Define the GOSI address as a location within the application. For more information on locations, see: Setting
Up Locations in Oracle Applications Help.
Step 2. Create an external organization for the General Office of Social Insurance (GOSI). For more information on
GOSI, see: Business Groups: Entering Saudi
GOSI Office in Oracle Applications Help.
Step 3. Enter GOSI details of the legal entities in your enterprise. For more information on legal entities in your
enterprise, see: GREs/Legal Entities: Entering Saudi
GOSI Details in Oracle ApplicationsHelp.
Step 4. Link the predefined elements GOSI, Setup GOSI Reference Salary, and GOSI Reference Salary Adjustment. You
can also link other user defined elements.
For more information on predefined elements, see: Predefined Elements.
For more information on defining element links, see: Defining Element Links in Oracle Applications Help.
Step 5. Link the formula SA_GOSI_CALCULATION to GOSI element in the Formula Result Rules window. For more
information on formula processing and
result rules, see: Defining Formula Processing and Result Rules in Oracle Applications Help.
Step 6. Optionally write a formula to return a base value for the calculation of GOSI deductions. This formula must
return the variable GOSI_REFERENCE. You
11/ 18
11/ 24/ 12
Docum ent Display
return the variable GOSI_REFERENCE. You

can override this formula for some or all employees by entering a pay value for the Setup GOSI Reference Salary
element. For more information on writing formulas,
See: Writing or Editing a Formula in Oracle Applications Help.
Step 7. If you have created your own formula with a return variable GOSI_REFERENCE, attach your formula at the GRE
level, see: GREs/Legal Entities: Entering
GOSI Reference Formula.
Step 8. Optionally use the Subject to GOSI secondary classification to classify the elements that form the base for GOSI
deductions. Oracle Payroll uses these
elements to calculate the base once each year in January if you have not defined a GOSI Reference Formula, nor
entered a pay value in the Setup GOSI Reference
Salary element for an employee.
Payroll Definition
Defining a Payment Method
Define payment methods for the enterprise in the Organizational Payment Method window.
You can define multiple payment methods for the same type. For example, you might have different source bank
accounts for payments.
Note: After you define your Payment Methods, you can enter the appropriate methods for each payroll you define.
After you assign an employee to a payroll, you can enter payment details for each employee in thePersonal Payment
Method window. For example, for employees
who work overseas, you may want to record more than one payment method with different percentages and
currencies.
To define a payment method:

Step 1. Set your effective date to the date you want to begin using the payment method.
Step 2. Enter a name for the payment method, and select its type.
You can create as many payment methods for each type as you require. For example, if you have different source bank
accounts for different payrolls, you must
create separate payment methods.
For a third-party payment method, select the type Check.
Canada users: Canada has many specific Bank formats from which you can choose. If the bank you need to use is not
listed below, then you need to create a
custom design:
Bank of Montreal
Bank of Nova Scotia
CPA Standard 005
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
National Bank of Canada
Royal Bank of Canada
TD Bank Financial Group
Step 3. The base currency for the Business Group appears. For some payment methods, you can select another
currency.
12/ 18
11/ 24/ 12
Docum ent Display
Step 4. If this method controls payments to a third party such as a benefits carrier or garnishment receiver, check the
Third Party Payment box.
Step 5. Enter the Bank Details field to open the Bank Details window. Enter information about the account from which
payments are coming.
If you are using Cash Management, you need to include the following information:
Account Name
Account Number
Type
Bank Name: if this already exists, enter the name exactly as it appears in Accounts Payable.
Branch: if this already exists, enter the name exactly as it appears in Accounts Payable.
WARNING: You should review the account setup for Accounts Payable prior to defining the Payment Method in Oracle
Payroll. You must enter this information
exactly as it appears in Oracle Accounts Payable. If not, you could end up with duplicate accounts. What you enter in
Oracle Payroll creates an entry in Accounts
Payable if it does not match an existing entry exactly. This error leads to reconciliation issues.
Note: French Payroll users: If you have already saved two or more payment methods of this type, you can create a
payment method with no bank details. When
the Pre-Payments process handles an assignment that uses this payment method, it selects one of the payment
methods of the same type that do have bank details to
use for the assignment. This removes the need to maintain personal payment methods when employee assignment
changes require the employee to be paid from a
different source bank account.
Step 6. Enter Further Information if your Oracle localization team has defined extra fields in this protected flexfield.
Note: US users: The Further Information field is not activated for US installations.
Note: Saudi users: The Further Information field is enabled to select the payment method formula, see: Entering
Further Payment Method Information.
Step 7. Select Set of Books to indicate the set of books to use if you intend to reconcile payments using Oracle Cash
Management.
Note: Cash Management may not be set up for your localization.
Step 8. Select GL Cash Account to indicate the cash account to use for the reconciliation of payments.
The entry for Description is entered by default, depending on what you enter as the GL Cash Account details.
Step 9. To use the Journal Entry Line reconciliation feature from the Payroll Bank Accounts in Cash Management,
specify a cash account and set of books.
For more information on cash management, see: Oracle Cash Management User Guide in Oracle Applications Help.
For more information on reconciliation, see: Journal Entry Line Reconciliation in Oracle Applications Help.
Note: The set of books specified here should be the same set of books assigned to the following:
GL: Set of books Name profile Option. For more information on setting up GL book profile option, see: GL Set of
Books Profile Option in Oracle Applications Help.
MO: Operating Unit Profile option for the Cash Management Responsibility. For more information on operating
MO unit profile option, see: MO Operating Unit Profile Option in Oracle Applications Help.
Note: The organization defined as the Operating Unit for Cash Management must be the same organization defined as
the business group. This sets the Org ID to
13/ 18
11/ 24/ 12
Docum ent Display
"0", as it must be for the records in the AP_ACCOUNTS_ALL table.

Note: If bank accounts are missing from your Cash Management responsibility, correct any problems with the bank
account information in the Payment Method
window.
Cash Management Setup Steps:
The following setup steps must be performed in Cash Management.
Step 1. The Bank Account set up in Payroll can be viewed in Cash Management only if the Cash Management Bank

Processing Social Insurance Deductions

Oracle HRMS enables you to store multiple results against the specific contribution type. It provides a single source of
information about the GOSI contribution. To
process the social insurance deductions, you must define your elements. You then link your earnings elements and
social insurance information elements to your
payroll. The GOSI initialization element triggers a formula, which checks your employees eligibility for GOSI deductions
and then makes the calculations for each
eligibility type.
See: Predefined Elements
Mandatory Deductions
Employer and employee contributions towards the GOSI are mandatory deductions for Saudi nationals. Employees
contribute to GOSI Annuities, and employers
contribute to both GOSI Annuities and GOSI Hazards.
Running the Saudi Payment Output File
