PeopleSoft Release Patchset (PRP) for Year-End 2025 for Patches After 25-D and Before 26-A

Payroll for North America development will post the PeopleSoft Release Patchset (PRP) for Release 9.2 with multiple patches in groups after Tax Update 25-D to lessen the burden of applying a high volume of patchsets during year-end. We will use the HCM Legislative Patchset concept to group multiple patches in a PRP for your organization to apply to the most recently released PeopleSoft Update Image.

These are the Payroll for North America PRPs with multiple patches in a group which are currently targeted for posting after Tax Update 25-D:

  • PRP 38645460 – PNA PATCHSET AFTER TAX UPDATE 25-D – PART ONE – Targeted posting date by December 5, 2025
  • PRP 38645481 – PNA PATCHSET AFTER TAX UPDATE 25-D – PART TWO – Targeted posting date by December 12, 2025
  • PRP 38645489 – PNA PATCHSET AFTER TAX UPDATE 25-D – PART THREE – Targeted posting date by December 19, 2025

If we need further PRPs with multiple patches in a group, we will follow the same naming convention through January 2026 until Tax Update 26-A posts.

We will continue with separate PRP postings for the following Release 9.2 patches:

  • (Canada) 38619356 – CAN: 2026 CANADIAN PAYROLL TAX & LEGISLATIVE ITEMS TOO LATE FOR 25-D DELIVERY – Targeted posting date by December 23, 2025
  • (U.S.) 38615240 – 2026 U.S. PAYROLL TAX & LEGISLATIVE ITEMS TOO LATE FOR 25-D DELIVERY – Targeted posting date by December 23, 2025
  • (U.S.) 38630519 – 2026 U.S. FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX CHANGES – Targeted posting date by November 26, 2025

To stay informed about patches posted between Tax Updates, please subscribe to My Oracle Support: PeopleSoft Payroll for North America Hot Topics (Doc ID 1348833.1).
