In the integration between HCM Absences and Cloud Payroll, absence data is stored in which data structure for payroll usage?

• A. User-defined tables
• B. Absence data is not passed to payroll
• C. Input Values
• D. Value Definitions

Answer: (C)

The data structure used to carry absence information into payroll is Input Values. In this integration, details from the absence record—such as days or hours of absence, absence type, and related dates—are passed to the payroll engine as input values. Payroll uses these values during its calculations to determine any pay adjustments, deductions, or leave-related rules. This approach lets the payroll run work with real-time absence data without needing to store it in custom tables, and it aligns with how payroll elements receive the data they need to compute pay.

Storing absence data in user-defined tables isn’t part of the standard integration, and absence data is indeed passed to payroll, so that option isn’t correct. Value Definitions govern allowed values or prompts rather than carrying the actual payroll calculation data.
