In the Edit Bank Account dialog box, the label, Bank State Branch, has been changed to BSB, which is the more commonly used term in Australia.

The Australian bank accounts now display these ready-to-use fields:

• Account Number
• Account Holder
• BSB

Therefore, the Edit Bank Account dialog box now displays only these fields by default for Australia.

The My Personal Payment Methods Fields that Are Displayed by Default in the Edit Bank Account Dialog Box

For ease of data entry, these My Personal Payment Methods fields are now hidden by default for Australia:

• IBAN
• Account Type
• Check Digit
• Alternate Account Holder
• Secondary Account Reference
• BIC Code
• Bank
• Bank Code
• Bank Branch

If you want to show the hidden fields in the Edit Bank Account dialog box, use the Bank Account User Rules REST API resource, which manages the attributes related to bank, branch, and bank account.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

• For an overview of REST APIs and the technical details, see the REST API for Oracle Financials Cloud guide on Oracle Help Center.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

Enter the personal identification number every time there is a change in the Gender or Date of Birth records so that the validation is enabled. For example, when the Date of Birth is wrong, and you enter the correct personal identification number, the validation warning is triggered. If you enter another wrong Date of Birth but don’t update the personal identification number, there’s no other validation warning triggered. It's triggered only if you reenter the personal identification number, even if the existing information is correct.

Human Capital Management for Germany

Oracle Fusion HRMS (Germany) supports country specific features and functions for Germany. It enables users to follow Germany’s business practices and comply with its statutory requirements.

Human Capital Management for United States

Enhanced Ethnicity and Race Self-Identification

We have enhanced the Responsive Personal Details page to support Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) reporting requirements for employee ethnicity and race self-identification.  These tasks now include two questions to identify employees of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity and the races of those who are not.

• Are you Hispanic or Latino?
• If you are not Hispanic or Latino, which of these races are you?

Steps to Enable

NOTE: This step of enabling profile is for existing customers only. New customers starting with 19D or a later release do not need to setup these profiles, as the new responsive screens are delivered by default.

In order to enable the new Personal Information pages, you must enable the following profile option and have enabled the HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED profile option. If you have not enabled the HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED profile option, please see following white paper: HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information (Document ID 2399671.1).

Field	Value
Profile Option Code	PER_PERSONAL_INFORMATION_RESPONSIVE_ENABLED

To enable the profile option, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area:

1. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
2. Search for and select the profile option.
3. Click to add a new Profile Value.
4. Select the Level as Site.
5. Enter a Y in the Profile Value field.
6. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

• The responsive New Hire pages do not have the Ethnicity and Race fields.  You can only update these fields through the Personal Details page.
• The Ethnicity field is no longer available in the Legislative Information region of the New Hire task.
• For employees that have previously selected Not Disclosed as their ethnicity, the Responsive UI does not inherit this value.  When the user does update their race, it deletes the Not Disclosed record and creates records for the selected races.
• The Two or more races option is no longer available for selection.  People identifying as multiple races must select the specific races in the list.  If an employee previously had selected Two or more races, then Two or more races displays as a read-only selection until specific races are selected.
• When using the HCM Data Loader to load your data, do not use the “Two or more races” lookup code.

Workforce Health and Safety Incidents

Oracle Health and Safety supports corporate initiatives to track and improve health and safety in the workplace.

Descriptive Flexfields

Workforce Health and Safety now has descriptive flexfields (DFF's).

This table displays the 4 new sets of descriptive flexfields which will display above the Lessons Learned text area in each activity. The event type Injury or Illness, on the Injured or Ill Person Details page, and the event type Vehicle Incident, on the Vehicles page each have 30 Varchar, 10 number and 10 Timestamp additional DFF's available.

Page	VarChar	Number	Timestamp
Actions	10	5	5
Events	450	150	150
Incident Details	20	10	10
Investigations	10	5	5

Data security and safety incidents share the number of DFF's (as outlined in the table). The only difference is the Events page for data security which is 120, 40, 40.

There are 13 events in total. The Injury and Illness Event can have DFF's at the parent event details level (30, 10, 10), and at the Injured or Ill Person (child) level (30, 10, 10). Similarly with the Vehicle Event, the parent event details page has DFF's (30, 10, 10) and the Driver and Vehicle Details (child) level (30, 10, 10).

Security

New Security Subject Area

We have made it easier for you to report on the security setup in the cloud application by adding a new security subject area. This new subject area, Security - Roles & Privileges Real Time, is designed to make reporting of Roles, Role Objects, and Role Users easier for OTBI users. Users can create and run ad-hoc security reports for needed security review and audit purposes. The subject area has details related to roles, inherited roles, inherited-by roles, data security policies, function security policies, and the users set up in the application.

The subject area also metrics including number of roles, number of users, and so on that can be used to understand the quantity of security built in the organization apart from the actual security details.

These new dashboards are seeded in the catalog to report on all the roles and details.

• Security dashboard
• Role dashboard

The Security Dashboard gives an overview of the roles and role categories, for example: abstract, hcm, erp, and their specific counts.

Details of the roles include code, name, description, number, and the details of users who have been assigned the role, the data security policies that make up the role, the functional security policies, and also the details of all the roles that have been inherited by roles.

The dashboard has pages that contain details of various objects related to security.

• Role Category Overview: Provides the list of role categories and their counts. On drill down from the count, it provides the list of roles under the specific category.  

• Role Overview: This page provides the overview of a role that is chosen from the prompt. There are a few performance tiles related to the specific role which provides the count of roles assigned directly to this role, the count of roles inherited through the roles assigned to them, the count of directly assigned functional and data security policies, and the number of users that have been assigned this role. On drill down from these counts, the cursor navigates to another dashboard named ‘Roles Dashboard’ that is a detailed dashboard which has details of various security objects including the directly assigned roles, functional security policies, data security policies, and so on.

• Function Security Policy Information: This page provides a summary and details of the function security policy selected from the drop down list. The details include the privilege name, the roles to which this function security policy is assigned, and the resource details such as type, action, name, description, and so on.

• Data Security Policy Information: This page provides a summary and details of the data security policy (DSP) selected from the drop down list. The details include the roles to which this policy is assigned. For each of the roles to which this DSP is assigned, it also provides the details of the security associated with the specific role.

• User Role List: This page provides a summary and details of all the roles assigned to the chosen user.

The Role Dashboard provides details of the artefacts assigned to the role including data security policies, functional security policies, directly assigned roles and inherited roles, the users that have been assigned the role and the inherited role hierarchy details. These details are available in multiple tabs of the dashboard.

Role Overview: This page displays the counts of each of the artefacts that are related to role chosen in the prompt.

Directly Assigned Data Security Policies: This page displays the data security policy details that are assigned directly to the role chosen in the prompt.

Directly Assigned Function Security Policies: This page displays the function security policy details that are assigned directly to the role chosen in the prompt.

Role Assigned to Users: This page displays the users that have been assigned the role chosen in the prompt.

Directly Assigned Roles: This page displays the roles that have been assigned directly to the role chosen in the prompt.

Inherited Role List: This page displays the roles that have been inherited by the role chosen in the prompt.

Inherited Role Hierarchy: This page displays the hierarchy of the inherited roles by the role chosen in the prompt.

Steps to Enable

New Subject Area - Eligible Jobs

We have made it easier for you to report on eligible jobs with the addition of a new Workforce Management - Eligible Jobs Real Time subject area. This subject area allows you to report on all the eligible jobs that have been set up for the workers apart from their primary job. This information can be useful for line managers and analysts in cases where the workers have to step in for jobs that are other than their primary jobs.

This subject area has details related to the eligible jobs, including start and end dates, pay rates for the job, and so on, along with the other common dimensions related to the worker's assignment.

This additional job could be setup for the workers for a period for a specified pay rate.

Steps to Enable

• User Person Type
• User Person Type Code

With this enhancement, you can track any changes that occurred to the worker's person type such as the date on which the worker moved from being a contingent worker to employee.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

New Years of Service Metrics in Work Relationship Subject Area

We have made it easier to report on worker's years of service metrics with the addition of a set of columns that cater exclusively to the non- primary work relationship (if any) of the workers. The existing years of service metrics will continue displaying the values based on primary work relationship.

These metrics are value addition in cases where the worker can have a work relationship that is not defined as primary.

The metrics added under the Work Relationship fact folder include the following:

• Days Service (Non-Primary Work Relationship) 
• Months Service (Non-Primary Work Relationship) 
• Years Service (Non-Primary Work Relationship)

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Seniority Dates Enhancement

You will find it easier to report on seniority dates with the addition of a dimension, attribute, and metric that support the seniority dates enhancements in Global Human Resources. You can now report on assignment level and work relationship level seniority. The following subject areas have been enhanced to report on the seniority dates related to enterprise, grade, department or any other entity:

• Worker Assignment Real Time
• Worker Assignment Event Real Time
• Work Relationship Real Time

The attribute includes 'Seniority Basis' under worker dimension which specifies the basis for seniority for this assignment as either Hours or Days.

The metric includes 'Seniority Days' which provides the total number of days seniority for the assignment.
