How should you define balance feeds to include run results of all elements in regular and supplemental earnings classifications?

• A. Create balance feeds for each element belonging to regular earnings and supplemental earnings classifications.
• B. This requirement cannot be met because a balance cannot be fed by elements from more than one element classification.
• C. Create a balance feed for the regular earnings classification and a balance feed for the supplemental earnings classification.
• D. Create balance feeds for each element belonging to regular earnings and supplemental earnings classifications but ensure the number of feeds does not exceed 250.

Answer: (C)

Balance feeds in Oracle Payroll Cloud are defined to map payroll run results to balances by element classification. Each feed pulls in run results for all elements that belong to a specific element classification, ensuring the totals land in the correct balances and supporting proper reporting and GL posting.

To include run results for all elements across both regular and supplemental earnings classifications, you should define one balance feed for the regular earnings classification and a separate balance feed for the supplemental earnings classification. This aligns with how feeds are scoped to a single classification, so every element within each classification is captured accurately without mixing classifications in a single feed.

Creating a feed per classification is sufficient and practical. Trying to merge elements from different classifications into one feed would violate the feed’s classification scope, and options that add extra feeds or imply a strict limit aren’t necessary given the standard approach.
