This document provides an overview of key concepts and tables used in Oracle HRMS payroll products. It discusses elements, element links, payment types, organization and personal payment methods, consolidation sets, run results, and run result values. Elements hold remuneration package information and are stored in the PAY_ELEMENT_TYPES_F table. Element links determine employee eligibility and are stored in the PAY_ELEMENT_LINKS_F table. Payment types and methods are defined for organizations and individuals. Consolidation sets group payroll runs and prepayments. Run results contain calculated payroll components from a run stored in the PAY_RUN_RESULTS table.
