Dear Akumar,

The main use of Oracle Fast Formulas is for Payroll Calculations where if you are using Oracle Payroll, you have to use Fast Formulas.

And I would like to add some other uses also:
1- Accrual Plan Formulas.
2- Absence Template Formulas (Absence Validation Rules)
3- OTL Approval Formulas
4- OTL Time Entry Rules Validation

What determines the type of Fast Formula is a field called "Type" in the Fast Formula setup form.

Regards,
