Feature Summary

Global Human Resources-Pre 21D

Human Resources

Global Payroll Interface

Oracle Global Payroll Interface supports features to send personal payroll information to third-party payroll providers and then to import processed payroll data into Oracle Fusion Global HR. You can copy and modify predefined extract definitions to meet the requirements of your third-party payroll provider. Before extracting data, payroll coordinators can optionally run the Calculate Gross Earnings process to calculate periodic values to validate gross earnings calculations. If you import processed payroll data or payslips from your third-party payroll provider, the data is available for further reporting and analysis.

ADP Global Payroll Interface Supports Extended Reporting in Global Transfer

All transfers between legal employers are global transfers. During a transfer, the application creates a work relationship and assignment. During a legal employer change within the legislative data group (LDG), you can select the data that you want to copy from the source to the target assignment and payroll relationship.

In such scenarios, the application terminates the source legal employer record a day before the global transfer date and creates a hire record in the target employer with hire date as the transfer date. The information that exists as of the global transfer date is copied, but changes effective after the global transfer date aren't.

By default, Global Payroll Interface reports source legal employer records till the Last Standard Process Date of the payroll to which the employee is mapped for the period in which the transfer happens

Example: Let’s consider Christy is mapped to a monthly payroll and is transferred on 20-Apr. The application determines the Last Standard Process Date of the global transfer period for the payroll to which Christy is mapped. The value that you had provided for the Process End Date at the time of record submission acts as the Effective-As-Of-Date while retrieving records. When the Effective-As-Of-Date goes past the Last Standard Process Date, the source legal employer details does not get reported.

When you offset the Process End Date by 30 days, the Process End Date (System Date on day of process submission + 30 days offset) might go beyond the Last Standard Process Date. So the global transfer termination details will not get reported at all.

To ensure that the application doesn’t miss out the reporting of termination details, extend the reporting duration of source legal employer record details to ADP Global Payroll during global transfer of an employee. Enable this feature if you have set the Process End Date of an employee to a future date and want to extend the reporting duration. You can extend the reporting duration of the source legal employer record by only the number of days specified in the Process End Date offset.

Extend Reporting Duration

Steps to Enable

Here’s how you can enable this feature:

1. Search for and select User-Defined Tables task in My Client Groups.

2. Search for and select Profile Options For Payroll Interface. Specify the LDG for which you want to extend the reporting duration. Click Edit.

3. Set the Effective Start Date as the date from which you want the changes to take effect.

4. In the User-Defined Rows section, search for and select Extend Reporting Of Home Records In Global Transfer. Click Next.

5. In the User-Defined Table Values section, create a record.

6. Search for and select Extend Reporting Of Home Records In Global Transfer in the Exact column.

7. Set the Value as Y, and ensure that the Effective Start Date is according to your requirement.

8. Click Submit.

Here’s how you can set the offset days:

1. You must set the Effective-As-Of-Date as the date from which you want the changes to take effect.

2. In the User-Defined Rows section, search for and select the ADP Global Payroll Interface Flow Parameter EndDate Offset. Click Next.

3. In the User-Defined Table Values section, create a record.
4. Search for and select ADP Global Payroll Interface Flow Parameter EndDate Offset in the Exact column.
5. Set the Value as the number of days by which you want to offset the Process End Date parameter. If you want to move the end date to a future date, set the number of days with a plus (+) sign. For example, if you want to move it forward by 30 days, specify the value as ‘+30’.

6. Ensure that the Effective Start Date is according to your requirement, and click Submit.

Role Information

Human Capital Management Application Administrator and Payroll Interface Coordinator can extend the reporting duration of source legal employer record details to ADP Global Payroll.

Personalize the Add and Edit Buttons on the National Identifiers Section and Edit Button on the Biographical Info Section

You can now personalize the Personal Details responsive page to display the edit button in the Biographical Info section, and the add and edit buttons in the National Identifiers section. This ensures that the background logic for displaying the pending approval banner and other business logic remains unaffected. You can selectively choose the buttons you want to display.

These buttons aren’t displayed out-of-the-box because most customers don’t want their employees to edit this data, but in some cases customers have requested this functionality. 

Steps to Enable

Here’s how you personalize the Personal Details page to display the buttons.

1. Activate a sandbox and ensure that the Page Composer tool is enabled for the sandbox.
2. While in the Source mode, select the National Identifiers region, then close the panelCollectionEdit.

Select the National Identifier Region

3. Select the region and then click Edit. For the component property P Add Enabled change the expression from #{pageFlowScope.PersonalDetailsFlowBean.addEnabled and backingBeanScope.PersonalDetailsBean.isElevatedUser} to #{pageFlowScope.PersonalDetailsFlowBean.addEnabled}.  For the component property and the P Edit enabled, change the expression from #{pageFlowScope.PersonalDetailsFlowBean.editEnabled and backingBeanScope.PersonalDetailsBean.isElevatedUser} to #{pageFlowScope.PersonalDetailsFlowBean.editEnabled}. Save the changes.

Edit the Region Components

4. Select the Biographical Info region, then select the region in the source.

Select the Biographical Info Region

5. Click Edit. For the component property P Edit enabled, change the expression from #{pageFlowScope.PersonalDetailsFlowBean.editEnabled and backingBeanScope.PersonalDetailsBean.isElevatedUser} to #{pageFlowScope.PersonalDetailsFlowBean.editEnabled}. Save the changes.

Edit the Region Component

6. Now you can see the add and edit buttons.

Add and Edit Buttons Visible

Tips And Considerations

• Typically, the add or edit buttons aren’t displayed out-of-the-box in the National Identifiers region because organizations don’t want their employees to change this information. However, some organizations want their employees to add their own national identifier during the onboarding process. Once enabled through personalization, it’s displayed for all users.

Key Resources

You can refer the following resources for more information:

• HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information – (Document ID 2399671.1)
• Overview of Using Page Composer, Chapter 3, Page Content and Layout, Configuring and Extending Applications guide located in the Oracle Help Center.

Effective Date from Advanced Search Carries Over to the Transaction Page

We have enhanced the user experience with the effective as-of date now defaulted from the Advanced Search page to the transaction page.

Effective As-of Date on the Advanced Search Page

Same Effective As-of Date from the Advanced Search Page Is Defaulted to the Transaction Page

Steps to Enable

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

Client List of Values for Action and Action Reason

We have improved the user experience with the new Action and Action Reason client list of values (LOVs). You can now get relevant action and action reason suggestions as you start typing in the LOV.

Action List of Values

Action Reason List of Values

The following table lists the profile options for these LOVs. These profile options are delivered with a Site level value of N. Client LOVs use the "contains" logic and return results containing the characters you enter. You can optionally change this logic to "starts with" for individual LOVs to return results that start with the characters instead. To do so, change the Site level value of the corresponding profile option code from N to Y. Changing the Site level value changes the search logic for all instances of the LOV if it's used in more than one page.

Object	Profile Option Code
Action	PER_LOV_SEARCH_ACTIONS_STARTSWITH
Action Reason	PER_LOV_SEARCH_ACTIONREASONS_STARTSWITH

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Since the action and action reason LOVs have been changed to REST-based LOVs, there may be an impact on the Design Studio and AutoComplete rules you may have. You must validate the impact on these rules post the update.

Key Resources

For more information about client LOV's, see the following resources:

• 18B HCM Common What's New feature: Faster Rendering of Values Using Client List of Values (LOV's)
• 18C HCM Common What's New feature: New Client LOVs
• HCM Security Upgrade Guide

Role Information

The following table lists the security privileges and the roles that inherit them for each client LOV:

Object	Security Privilege Name and Code	Privilege Type	Job Role Name
Action	Use REST Service - Person Reference Data Lists of Values ORA_PER_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_PERSON_REFERENCE_DATA_LOVS	Aggregate	Employee Contingent Worker Line Manager HR Specialist
Action Reason	Use REST Service - Person Reference Data Lists of Values ORA_PER_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_PERSON_REFERENCE_DATA_LOVS	Aggregate	Employee Contingent Worker Line Manager HR Specialist

Performance Enhancements of Workforce Structures LOVs

You can use new profile options to improve performance of these workforce structures – positions, locations, departments, and jobs. You need to enable these profile options to enable a more compact search.

Name	Description
ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_POSITION_SEARCH	Enable compact search to use only position name and code when searching for positions.
ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_LOCATION_SEARCH	Enable compact search to use only location name and code when searching for locations.
ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_DEPARTMENT_SEARCH	Enable compact search to use only department name when searching for departments.
ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_JOB_SEARCH	Enable compact search to use only job name and code when searching for jobs.

A scheduled process, "Optimize Workforce Structures LOV to Use Starts With" is also introduced, which runs automatically on a daily basis. The process switches the search from 'contains' to 'starts with' for all large workforce structures LOVs when the row threshold is exceeded. The default for the threshold for the number of rows is 10,000. You can change the default value as per your requirements. You can set it to 0 if you don't want the application to change the LOV search. This is because the scheduled process won’t consider the profile option if the value is <= 0, or if it contains a non numeric character.

You can change the default threshold value using these profile options.

Name	Description
ORA_PER_POSITION_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable position search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count includes rows across tables for positions, jobs and departments.
ORA_PER_LOCATION_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable location search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count includes rows across tables for locations, territories and sets.
ORA_PER_DEPARTMENT_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable department search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count is across organization units, organization unit classifications, location details and sets.
ORA_PER_JOB_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable job search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count includes rows across tables for jobs, job families and sets.
ORA_PER_GRADE_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable grade search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count includes rows across tables for grades and sets.
ORA_PER_POSITIONTREE_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable position tree node search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count is across position tree nodes, positions, organization units or classifications.
ORA_PER_ORGTREE_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable organization tree node search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count is across organization tree nodes, organization units or classifications.
ORA_PER_DEPTTREE_LOV_STARTSWITH_NUMROWS	Enable department tree node search to start with characters entered when row count is high. Row count is across department tree nodes, organization units or classifications.

Steps to Enable

To enable compact search:

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
3. Search for and select the profile option. 
4. Enter a Y in the Profile Value field.
5. Click Save and Close.

To change the default threshold value:

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
3. Search for and select the profile option.
4. Enter a value of your choice in the Profile Value field.
5. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

• The scheduled process "Optimize Workforce Structures LOV to Use Starts With" runs automatically on a daily basis.
• You need to set the default threshold value to 0 to ensure that the switch doesn't happen.

Position Synchronization: Impacted Assignments in Position Details

You can now view the assignments that inherit the changes when updating or correcting a position. A new section, Impacted Assignments is added to the Position Details page, which shows the assignments that inherit the changes because of a change in position attributes.

This section is visible only when position synchronization is enabled.

Steps to Enable

To enable position synchronization either at the enterprise or legal employer level:

1. Go to the Manage Enterprise HCM Information task or the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information appropriately in the Workforce Structures work area.
2. Click Edit > Update.
3. Navigate to the Position Synchronization Configuration section and select the Enable position synchronization check box.
4. Click Submit..

Position Management: Profiles in Position Details

Profiles help in identifying the qualifications and skills required for a position. You can now associate profiles with a position on the Position Details, Request a New Position, and Position Change pages. You can either associate an existing profile or end-date the relationship of a currently associated profile.

Associate Profiles with Position

You can also create a new profile using the Create Profile action on the Position Details page. Once you save the new profile, use the update or correct actions to associate the new profile.

Filter Positions Based on Hiring Status

We have made it easier for you to use the position list of values (LoV) in employment pages using the ORA_POS_HIRING_STATUS_FILTER profile option. When the profile option is enabled, the position LOV is filtered to only include positions that have an approved hiring status. For example, managers can only hire or transfer an employee to the position from the date the hiring status is approved.

In pending worker pages, the position LOV isn't filtered, but instead an error message is shown if the user selects a position that isn't approved for hiring. The same validation also applies when using HCM Data Loader (HDL). The position filtering doesn't apply for nonworkers.

Error Message When a Position Is Selected that Is Not Approved for Hiring

Steps to Enable

To filter the Position list of values to only include positions having an approved hiring status, you must enable the following profile option:

Field	Value
Profile	ORA_POS_HIRING_STATUS_FILTER

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.

Improved Areas of Responsibility User Experience Through Responsibility Templates

Areas of Responsibility templates allow you to create a simple, less-cluttered responsibility description and scope just once, and reuse it multiple times. Templates can be defined independently from representatives, and can support different scope patterns as your organization requires. With a responsibility template, you can control and minimize the number of responsibility visible scope items displayed on a worker’s responsibility without Page Composer configuration.  So you need to choose only the scope that applies to your organization. Templates also automatically populate values on the worker responsibility. You can also specify required values for the worker responsibility.

Area of Responsibility Templates

You can add a responsibility in either of these two ways: directly from the Areas of Responsibility (AOR) UI or from a template. A new option, Responsibility from Template is added to the Areas of Responsibility UI. You can now create Areas of Responsibility templates to quickly create and assign responsibilities.

Adding a Responsibility from a Template

If you’re adding a responsibility from a template the basic information and scope are automatically populated from the template. However, you can change the name, from and to dates, and status. You can also change any of the scope-related fields, which are optional in the template. There must be at least one scope attribute with a value, else an error message is displayed. You can easily identify the correct department, job, grade, and location because the Set is now included in these LOVs.

Responsibility Scope

You can copy and delete a responsibility template. When you copy, the basic information and scope are copied, but not the associated people. You can delete a template only if there aren’t any people associated with it. In this case, the delete action will be disabled and a warning message will be shown if you enable the HCM_SAVE_CHANGES_WARNING_ENABLED profile option.

Actions on a Responsibility Template

You can create and assign the template directly to people (i.e., representatives). This automatically generates the AOR Code associated to the assigned people, which includes the template name, and date-timestamp. HR specialists can also associate people with a template using the Areas of Responsibility quick action. If you opt for this method, the code isn't automatically generated and you need to enter it manually in the UI; and when you edit the responsibility, the template appears as read-only.

Assign Responsibility Template

When a worker is associated with a template, the worker’s area of responsibility will appear in the Directly Assigned section. Even if the area of responsibility is reassigned, the worker’s name will appear in this section. When you delete a person from the Assign to People section, the area of responsibility is also deleted for that person.

Steps to Enable

In order to enable the Add using a template option in the Area of Responsibility Templates page, 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_AREAS_OF_RESPONSIBILITY_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

• Area of Responsibility and Area of Responsibility templates aren’t integrated with HCM Experience Design Studio. 
• Location Code is replaced with Location Set in client side LOVs.
• Although you can see the set to which the department, job, grade, and location belongs in the client LOVs, you can't search based on the set.
• There is no HDL support for AOR template currently.
• Approvals aren’t available for areas of responsibility templates, either in create or edit modes.
• For performance reasons, it’s recommended to associate 1-5 people to a template. Template details are independent of the person responsibilities, and vice versa. After initial creation of person-level areas of responsibilities, there is no synchronization of the start date, end date or status fields of the person and template. Any changes to an area of responsibility template will be corrections to the content because AOR isn’t date-effective. There won’t be any history of the corrections, and modifications take effect immediately.
• You may want to create a default saved search to automatically display responsibility template search results. Out-of-the-box, you need to search each time you navigate to Area of Responsibility Templates home page.
• While AOR Template Basic Details do not impact the responsibilities of associated people. However the Scope Attributes can be changed in the template. This change will affect the AORs of the people directly assigned to the AOR Template.
• You can select the same person multiple times in the Assign to People section. The AOR Template allows flexibility to support the following business scenarios:
  • You define an AOR template with the same scope items, such as (required) Legal Employer, which may be the same, and the Business Unit (or Department) scope is also included, but it is not required, since this may vary at the person-level responsibility. You can create multiple responsibilities associated with the same template, and then add the value of the Business Unit (or Department) for that individual person’s AOR.
  • Hierarchy Type is selected and required for the same Department hierarchy name, but you can leave the Top Node (not required on the AOR Template) to be defined at the person-level responsibility. For example, if “Country” is defined in the AOR Template as not required, and associated with the same person multiple times. At the person-level responsibility, you can update each AOR to have different country values unique to the representative’s service areas.

For more information, refer to the Using Global Human Resources guide, Chapter 5, Areas of Responsibility in the Oracle Applications Cloud. The guide can be found on the Oracle Help Center.

Role Information

Area of Responsibility templates is secured by these roles.

Send Changes to Employee Photos for Approval

A new approval rule, Change Photo, has been delivered and set to bypass approvals out of the box. You can configure the approval so that changes to the person's photo can be sent for review and approval based on your requirements. This feature allows you to ensure that photos uploaded to the application meet your company's standards.

While the photo is pending approval, a banner is displayed notifying that the transaction is pending approval. You can click on the hyperlink to see the approval notification, which includes the approval hierarchy. In addition, you can also withdraw the transaction from the approval notification. 

If the person deletes or uploads another photo while there is a pending approval, the original approval will automatically be withdrawn and a new approval notification sent.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

You can write a condition on the Current Person Image field and compare it to the Proposed Person Image, so that if they do not equal, then the transaction is sent for approval.

Comparing Current vs Proposed Image

Key Resources

For more information, refer to the Implementing Global Human Resources, Chapter 14 Notifications and Approvals for the topic How You Define Approvals for Human Capital Management.

Lookup for Gender Field Changed from System to User

The configuration level of the existing lookup type SEX is changed from System to User. You can now enter new, modify, and delete Oracle-delivered lookup codes. The SEX lookup type will continue to be used for the list of values that users see on the pages where the Gender field is displayed.

A new System lookup type, ORA_PER_SEX, is introduced because Oracle delivers reports and processes that only permit specific values for the Gender field. The ORA_PER_SEX lookup type is delivered with all of the same lookup codes as the original SEX lookup type. For example, the US EEO-1 report accepts only specific gender values in the report because of which, if you add or modify existing lookup codes, you need to map new or modified lookup codes to the Oracle-delivered lookup codes in the ORA_PER_SEX lookup type. If this is not done, the report will be incorrect. For example, if you add a lookup code of 'Undeclared', which is not an accepted value for the US EEO report, you need to map the 'Undeclared' lookup code to either 'Male' or 'Female', which are the 2 acceptable values.

A point to note is that once you modify an Oracle-delivered lookup code, you have taken ownership of that lookup code. No further changes will be delivered to that lookup code by Oracle.

Use the Manage Extended Lookup Codes task in the Setup and Maintenance work area to map the SEX lookup codes to the ORA_PER_SEX lookup codes. Oracle has delivered the mapping for the existing lookup codes and you only need to update the mapping if you have made changes to the SEX lookup codes. In the Extended Lookup Codes table, if the lookup code is specific to a country then the country is selected. If there is a lookup code that has multiple countries, then in the Extended Lookup Codes table, there will be multiple entries, one for each country. Alternatively, if no country is selected, the lookup code is considered global. The Lookup Code column refers to the ORA_PER_SEX lookup code, while the Extended Code column refers to the SEX lookup code. The All Enterprises column must be set to 'Yes'.

Extended Lookup Codes

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• If a lookup code that has been used is deleted, the application continues to operate as normal. But for users that have used the deleted lookup code, the Gender field will be displayed as a blank. If the user edits the Gender field, the deleted lookup code will not be displayed in the list of values, but the user will be able to select a valid lookup code.
• If a deleted lookup code is passed as part of an HCM Data Loader file, an error will be displayed indicating that the lookup code is not valid, and the record will not be loaded until a valid lookup code is used.
• If a lookup code is deleted, Oracle will deliver the same lookup code in the next update. So, it is recommended to deselect the 'Enabled' flag rather than deleting the lookup code. 

Key Resources

This feature is similar to the changes made in Release 12 for other lookup.  Please review the prior What's New document: types: https://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/tutorial/cloud/r12/wn/r12-global-hr-wn.htm#_Toc513033616

Global HR Redesigned User Experience

Increase user satisfaction with the redesigned pages that now have the same look and feel on desktop and mobile devices. These redesigned pages are both responsive and easy to use on any device, with a modern look and conversational language. Clutter-free pages, with clean lines and just the essential fields, can be personalized to suit.

V1 Seniority Dates and Worker Number Fields Added to Responsive Employment Flows

We have made it easier for you to access version 1 (V1) seniority and worker numbers by now including these fields in the Work Relationship Info section:

• Enterprise Seniority Date (V1 Seniority Date)
• Legal Employer Seniority Date (V1 Seniority Date)
• Worker Number

NOTE: In the Edit Work Relationship responsive page , these fields are removed from the Enterprise and Primary Info section and added to the Work Relationship Info section.

Fields Moved to Work Relationship Section

Since the fields are moved to the Work Relationship Info section, the fields will now also be available in these responsive employment flows:

• Hire an Employee
• Create Work Relationship
• Add Contingent Worker
• Add Pending Worker
• Add a Nonworker
• Edit Pending Worker
• Edit Work Relationship
• Local and Global Transfer
• Change Legal Employer

Fields in the Hire an Employee Flow

Steps to Enable

The Worker Number field is hidden out-of-the-box. To enable this field in the responsive employment flows, you must use the HCM Experience Design Studio.

Tips And Considerations

• The V1 seniority dates (Enterprise and Legal Employer) will be visible only when you’re not using V3 seniority dates.
• The worker number will be visible for only those legal employers that are enabled to use the worker number.
• All the three fields are available in HCM Experience Design Studio for personalization.

Key Resources

For more information, see the following resources:

• Release 19B What's New feature (Compact Guided Process To Edit Work Relationships) on Oracle Cloud Readiness.

Change Legal Employer

Linking Source and Target Assignments for a Legal Employer Change

You can now link the source assignment with the destination assignment that is created as part of a global transfer.

When you do a global transfer, the application will store the assignment ID of the source assignment in the destination assignment.

For global transfers done before this feature update, you can run the Migrate Employment Data process to have the application perform this linking. This process selects all active workers (employee, contingent worker, and nonworker) who don't have their termination dates populated in the work relationship and for whom the source assignment ID isn't populated.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

The SOURCE_ASSIGNMENT_ID column in the PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_M table is populated only for global transfer. It isn’t populated for global temporary assignment.

Key Resources

For more information, see the Hire and Manage Workers chapter in the Using Global Human Resources guide.

View Assignment History Across Legal Employer Changes

We now allow users to view a worker's assignment history even after they have undergone a legal employer change. You can view the assignment history from the Employment History section in the Employment Info page.

View Assignment History

Steps to Enable

To display the assignment history across legal employer changes on the Employment Info responsive page, you must enable the following profile option:

Field	Value
Profile	ORA_PER_EMPL_DISPLAY_GT_HISTORY

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

To view the worker's assignment history across legal employer changes, their source and target assignments must be linked.

Key Resources

For more information about linking source and target assignments, refer to the Linking Source and Target Assignments for a Legal Employer Change feature in this Global Human Resources What's new for 20B.

Data Copy Options During a Legal Employer Change

We have enhanced the ability of users to select data that they want to copy from the source to the target assignment during a permanent legal employer change (global transfer). The worker data is defaulted from the source assignment where the transfer is initiated. Along with other data, you can now copy these additional items:

• Assignment extensible flexfields (EFF) contexts: By default, all assignment extensible flexfield contexts are copied, however, you can also choose which context to copy.
• Payroll data: Some payroll details are defaulted, such as payroll, tax reporting unit, time card required, and overtime period. Additionally, you can select to copy person costing override and element entries.
• Performance goals and documents: You can move performance goals and documents to the worker's new assignment.

NOTE: These copy features are only applicable to the local and global transfer flow.

Questionnaire Page

Option to Copy Extensible Contexts

Payroll Details

Performance Goals and Documents

Steps to Enable

The Additional Assignment Info (EFF) and Performance Goals and Documents sections are hidden out-of-the-box. To enable these sections in the local and global transfer flow, you must use the HCM Experience Design Studio.

Tips And Considerations

• Users can enable the following sections in the Local and Global Transfer flow using HCM Experience Design Studio:
  • Additional Assignment Info
  • Performance Goals and Documents
• The option to select the extensible flexfield contexts to copy is displayed only in the case of global transfer.
• When the user selects the Performance Goals and Documents section from the questionnaire page, the section is displayed only in the case of global transfer.
• When the user selects the Payroll Details section from the questionnaire page, the section is displayed for global transfer and global temporary assignment.
• A worker may have the same performance goals, goal plans, or performance documents associated with multiple assignments within the same work relationship. In this case, only the performance goals and documents associated with the source assignment are moved to the new assignment created by the process. The performance goals and documents associated with secondary assignments will remain associated with them for further processing, canceling, or deleting.
• Eligibility profiles aren't changed by the Local and Global Transfer process. Eligibility profiles used for performance goals and documents can include inactive assignments. When the process completes, it moves the performance goals and documents to the new assignment. However, the inactive assignments will continue to be eligible for the same performance goals and documents. You need to update the eligibility profiles to exclude the inactive assignments so that the inactive assignments aren't created again.

BIP Post Approval Notification with Current and Proposed Values

BIP Notification Post Approval

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

This feature enhancement is applicable to these scenarios:

• Transaction initiated only from responsive pages.
• Approval Required as well as FYI notifications.
• Document record approval that doesn't have bypass approval enabled. If approval has been set to Bypass, then a notification isn't generated.

Listed here are the new template and data model that have been delivered to support this feature:

• BI Template - ManageDorPostApprovalReport
• BI Data Model - ManageDorPostApproval

Since the data model and BIP template are different for these post approval notifications, any existing customization on data models and BI templates will not apply. You need to customize and make the same changes on the new models as well.

Key Resources

For more information on BIP notifications, refer to Chapter 14, Notifications and Approvals in the Implementing Global Human Resources guide.

Bypass Document Type Configuration Approval

You can streamline the configuration of document type with the approval rule set to bypass by default.

Tips And Considerations

• If the BI path is provided, the Restrict Update and Restrict Delete options on the Document Type setup page are automatically set to Yes and are read-only. 
• This feature is only applicable to responsive document records flow.

Display Document Type Description as Instructions

You can now provide meaningful instructions in the document type description. The document type description is displayed on the document records page when you click the information icon when adding or editing a document record. The information icon doesn't display when you don't specify a description.

Add the Document Type Description in the Setup Screen

REST Services

Enhanced Date Effectivity Support for Workers REST Resource

You can use the enhanced date effectivity functionality of the workers REST resource to update date effective person and employments objects such as assignments, visas, and so on. For example, you can use the RangeSpan header attribute to correct or update a range of records for a date effective object.

With this enhanced functionality, the workers resource also supports end dating of date effective records.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides, available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > REST API. If you're new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

Key Resources

For more information, see the REST API for Oracle HCM Cloud guide on the Oracle Help Center.

Uptake Common Lookup Service for Workers REST Resource

You can use the commonLookupsLOV REST resource to get the possible values of the workers and its child resources attributes that are based on lookups. For example, when creating or updating person and employment records, you might need the possible values of attributes such as Gender, WorkerType, AssignmentCategory, and so on. You can obtain these values from the commonLookupsLOV REST resource.

Get Possible Values for WorkerType

Let's say that you want to update a worker's work relationship and need the possible values for the WorkerType attribute. To get the possible values:

1. Perform a describe operation on the workRelationships resource using this URL format. /hcmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/workers/<ID>/child/workRelationships/describe

2. Verify the LookupType for the WorkerType attribute.

   { "name" : "WorkerType", "type" : "string", "updatable" : true, "mandatory" : true, "queryable" : true, "allowChanges" : "inCreate", "precision" : 30, "title" : "Worker Type", "controlType" : "choice", "maxLength" : "30", "lov" :{ "attributeMap" : [ { "source" : "LookupCode", "target" : "WorkerType" } ], "displayAttributes" : [ "Meaning" ], "lovResourcePath" : [ { "resource" : "commonLookupsLOV", "filter" : "?finder=LookupTypeFinder%3BLookupType%3DPER_PERIOD_TYPE" } ] }

3. Verify the commonLookupsLOV definition. { "rel" : "lov", "href" : "http://host:port/fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/commonLookupsLOV", "name" : "commonLookupsLOV", "kind" : "collection" } 

4. Click the href link, append the filter, and perform a GET operation on the URL. https://host:port/fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/commonLookupsLOV?finder=LookupTypeFinder;LookupType=PER_PERIOD_TYPE

Global HR Replaced or Removed Features

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing features with new features, or removes existing features.

Replaced features may be put on a path of removal, the features below will let you know what update you will have to have moved to the newer feature. As a best practice, you should move to the newer feature as soon as possible for full support and to stay up with the latest updates that the product offers.

Any feature that is removed, will have an Update in which that feature is no longer available. Please make necessary plans to move off the feature by the Update indicated, as it will no longer be available.

Document Records and Delivery Preferences Available Only in Responsive Pages from 20B

We recommend that you migrate to the Document Records and Document Delivery Preferences responsive pages to leverage enhanced features introduced in release 18B.

NOTE: From 20B onwards, document records and document delivery preferences in Classic UI will no longer be supported.

These are the benefits of moving to the Document Records and Document Delivery Preferences responsive pages:

• Renders the page on any device (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) seamlessly, thereby providing a consistent user experience across devices.
• Simplifies the user experience by reducing multiple navigation paths to the Document Records and Document Delivery Preferences sections.
• Encourages the recommended navigation since document records created with the existing Manage Person flow navigation does not trigger document record approval.
• Supports minimum attachments feature for document records.
• Supports BIP based notifications on create, update, and delete of document records.
• Provides the ability to view and download attachments from BIP based notifications.

Steps to Enable

NOTE: From 20B onwards, document records and document delivery preferences responsive pages are available by default.

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 you must enable the following profile option and have enabled the HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED profile option.

• Managing assignment extensible flexfields
• Managing enhanced payroll information and copy options
• Managing performance goals and documents copy options

NOTE: The classic Global Transfer flow using the Manage Employment task will continue to be supported. Only the classic and responsive Change Legal Employer flows are being decommissioned and not supported from release 20D onwards.

If you are using the predefined roles, no action is necessary. However, if you are using custom versions of these roles, you must add these aggregate privileges to your custom roles to use this feature. See the Release 13 Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Security Upgrade Guide on My Oracle Support (Document ID 2023523.1) for instructions about implementing new functions in existing roles.

Compare Feature Is Decommissioned

The Compare feature is now decommissioned and hidden out-of-the-box. If you want to use the feature, you need to re-enable it using the profile option ORA_PER_HIDE_COMPARE_FLOW.

You use the Compare feature to compare two or more items of the same or different types. For example, compare one person to another or a person to a job profile.

A point to note is that HCM Compare doesn't fully support Enhanced Talent Profiles. So, if you enable HCM Compare, the Enhanced Talent Profiles displays all values that were created based on a template. An exception to this is the Competency section. The Competency section displays only if it was migrated from Classic Profiles to Enhanced Talent Profiles.

Steps to Enable

Re-enable the Compare feature using these steps.

1. Go to Setup and Maintenance > Manage Administrator Profile Values.
2. Search for the profile option, ORA_PER_HIDE_COMPARE_FLOW and set the profile value to N.
3. Logout of the application and re-login.
4. Verify if the Compare action is now visible from My Client Groups > Show More > Workforce Structures

Enhancement to Checklist Subject Area to Report on Pending Workers

Enhance your reporting on Workforce Management with the Checklist Real Time subject area to report on checklists allocated to pending workers. The Workforce Management - Checklist Real Time subject area renders the allocated checklist data for workers only if the workers have at least one primary assignment, i.e. PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_M. Primary_Flag = 'Y'.

Any worker be it Pending worker or not if they do not have a primary assignment the checklist data is not rendered. To overcome this limitation, the Person Number and Name attributes are added to the allocated checklists folder. With this enhancement the customers can do the reporting on pending workers using the allocated checklist folder.

NOTE: With this enhancement, you will have to modify their existing analysis to render the name of the pending workers, if there are any checklist task records for them. In the employee name column of the analysis the formula must be added like: IFNULL("Workforce Management - Checklist Real Time"."Worker"."Employee Name", "Workforce Management - Checklist Real Time"."Allocated Checklist"."Person Name")

ORACLE CURRENTLY PLANS TO DECOMISSION THE HCM CLASSIC SIMPLIFIED USER INTERFACE IN UPDATE 20B

The new and redesigned HCM Responsive User Experience has been available and promoted as our standard since Update 18B. If you are still using the older HCM Classic Simplified User Interface, please begin transitioning to the HCM Responsive User Experience.

For information, video links and next steps, please see Document ID 2399671.1 - HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information

Highlights of New User Interface:

We’ve taken the employee and manager self-service pages to the next level by redesigning them to look and behave the same on desktop and mobile devices. We’ve also changed the look and feel of the pages to provide a better experience for end users.

Pages and messages look more modern and use simpler, more conversational language so that you can more easily read and understand content across all devices. The pages are clutter-free and clean and display only those fields that are required to complete the task. You can personalize the pages and add more fields that are hidden by default. For most self-service tasks, you’re asked what you want to do, and the task is broken down into a series of steps based on your choice.
