1. Redwood Experience
Redwood is Oracle’s next-generation unified user interface built to enhance the overall user experience. While the Classic UI is still available for existing customers, Oracle strongly recommends transitioning to Redwood to take full advantage of the latest innovations – particularly those driven by Generative AI. Redwood features are continuing to be introduced for Global Payroll – Person Costing and Payslip have moved to Redwood UI
2. Payroll Administrator Troubleshooting AI Agent
Quick Notes:
The Payroll Run Analyst is an AI-powered digital assistant for payroll administrators that supports efficient payroll validation. Available on the Payroll Results page, it delivers secure role-based insights within defined security permissions significantly reducing manual reconciliation work and accelerating corrective actions
3. Performance Enhancements for HCM Extracts
Quick Notes:
Delivered HCM Extract reports are enhanced to improve XML processing and reduce server load for archived data including payslips. BI templates are now maintained on the ESS server instead of the BI server, resulting in faster processing and improved performance. Going forward payslips will bypass the BI server by default. To avoid report failures ensure correct configurations are used particularly for extracts with DOR delivery options.
4. Redwood Experience: Business Rules Support for Personal Payment Method Page
Quick Notes:
You can now configure country-level validation business rules for the Bank Details section on the Personal Payment Method page. This feature enables you to define additional business validations for bank accounts based on country-specific requirements and your organization’s business processes. For example, you can define a validation rule to ensure that an employee has only one bank account for a specific account type. This validation helps enforce bank account uniqueness and improves data accuracy and compliance.
5. Redwood Payslip
Quick Notes:
With this release, Oracle introduces the redesigned Redwood Payslip template which can be viewed online or downloaded. The template is universally accessible and compliant with Legislative reporting requirements. Oracle recommends migrating to the Redwood payslip template at your earliest convenience to ensure your payslips remain compliant with your local reporting requirements.
6. Flows Checklist – Verify a Process or Report
Quick Notes:
Oracle has introduced a Verify option for flow tasks. This option is available only for process tasks and not for manual tasks. A flow doesn’t move to the next task in the sequence until the task is verified. For verified tasks, the Checklists page displays a verification status message along with the details of the person who verified the task.
7. Retroactive Earnings and Recoveries Enhancement for Date Paid
Quick Notes:
Retroactive earnings and overpayment recoveries can now be calculated based on the date paid instead of the date earned. This improves accuracy when employees change jurisdictions. It ensures that retroactive earnings and overpayment recoveries are processed in accordance with the most current jurisdictional requirements, improving payroll accuracy and compliance, reducing manual corrections, and maintaining regulatory integrity when employee locations change between the original payment date and the recovery date.
