Map Fields for Custom Reporting of Pay Results

Map Fields for Custom Reporting of Pay Results

Security:
Set Up: Payroll (Reporting)
domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
In addition to viewing payroll results in standard Workday reports, you can create custom reports using the Workday Report Writer. To report on earnings, deductions, pay component related calculations, or pay accumulations, you must map the components to Workday-provided report fields.
If you map more than 1 pay component to the same report field, Workday sums the component values and assigns the results to the report field.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Pay Results - Class Report Field Mapping
    task.
  2. Select the tab for the type of results you want to display in the report:
    • Pay Component Results
      : Use to map earnings, deductions, pay component related calculations, and pay accumulations to a report field. When you include the item in a custom report, the reported value represents a single gross-to-net result. Example: When reporting on a mapped earning that a worker receives in both a regular pay run and an on-demand additional payment, Workday returns a separate value for each result, not the combined result.
    • Pay Component Balance Results
      : Use to map earnings, deductions, pay component related calculations, and pay accumulations to a report field, and display the results over a specified balance period. Examples: month-to-date, quarter-to-date.
    • Pay Component Group Results
      : Use to map pay component groups to a report field.
  3. As you complete the task consider:
    Field
    Description

report.
Access the

task to create a custom report.
When creating a custom report, you must specify a data source. Select your mapped report fields from the
Payroll Processing/Results
prompt folder.
