Dear Sowjanya,

Fast Formulas are used within Oracle Payroll Module, to generate payroll calculations. They are more like a pseudocode.

Fast Formulas can be mainly used for:
-- Element Skip Rules (a condition that specified when to process an element)
-- Payroll Calculations
-- Validation

A Fast Formula is composed of Default Section, Alias Section, inputs, body (Calculations) and Outputs.

If you need any further help, contact me...

Regards,

Dear Sowjanya,

You are most welcome and I wish you all success in your new project.

** For Functions:
1) Create your function on the database and within your package.
2) Map the function to a function on the application. Use the Define Function Form under the HR Responsibility. Notice that You have to specify:
-- Parameters (Your Parameters)
-- Context Values (Values driven automatically from Formulas)
-- Do not forget to include correct return type
3) Call this function at your Fast Formula... and debug it through a message.

** For Database Items, be aware of this:
-- You can find database items and their descriptions when you enter the Fast Formula Form.
-- You can generate Database Items for Key Flexfields and Descriptive Flexfields, ...

I hope this wll solve your doubts, ...

Best Regards,

Dear Sowjanya,

"Call this function at your Fast Formula... and debug it through a message." means when you define the function on the databse and link it in the application form.
Then to return a value into a variable from this function you have to call it in the Fast Formula.
For example:
If your function was get_net_calculation
and it was without parameters, then the call should be as:
Net_CALC = get_net_calculation()

Furthermore, debugging through a message means you can define a message and return it in your Fast Formula as a process of debugging variable contents...

I hope I explained well...
