Goal

We are implementing Payroll on release 12 for UK legislation and need proper documents to understand the seeded behavior of the Payroll earning and deduction elements in order to understand if we need to modify the out of the box solutions that oracle has provided or we can use the same elements, formulas and balances.

Its is very critical to first understand the out of the box solutions that Oracle has provided.

So, please provide some good documents which explains how does the existing earning and deduction elements work, what is the impact if we select different type of inputs, what is the impact on fast formulas etc.
We already have the Oracle Payroll implementation guide and but it does not explain the seeded behavior of these elements and we cannot debug and find out each and every functionality of the seeded out of the box solution so the best thing would be that oracle provides us some well defined documents which explains the seeded functioning of these elements.
Please provide the same as early as possible so that we can refer the same and come to a conclusion that how much of the seeded functionality can be utilized and how much customization we need to do.

What is the use of this areaLast but not the Least the fast formula which which is producing the output for this element i.e. SE Demo ?

Q6:
Manage fast formula:
About the seeded fast formula which is getting generated when the Earning element is created and submitted.
Can you please provide an explanation that how this fast formula functions based on the inputs that we have given to the element ?
This is the most critical thing that we as customer need to understand because this is the place where all the customizations will be carried.
