Oracle Human Resources

Person Assignment

While updating assignment criteria, the application used to re-construct the AssignmentLink Usage (ALU) records even though there was no change in Grade, Organization or

Employment category data. This used to take considerable time and caused performanceissues. Now, the ALUs will be re-constructed only when there is a change in the Grade,

Organization or Employment category data while updating the assignment criteria.

In NL Legislation, Enter and Maintain form lists out 4 values in Gender LOV as Male,Female, Unknown and Not Specified.

For the seeded Portugal Address style, a new value set is created with maximum

characters set to 8 so that Postal code with format ####-### is accepted without any error

Ethnic information entered in Irecruitment flow during job application is getting copiedfrom DFF to EIT when application status is changed to Accepted.

Code changes are done in such a way that the documents attached in iRecruitmentprocess can be visible in SSHR and CoreHR after the hiring of the person.

Previous Employment

In PL legislation, supports Parallel Employment by entering the Employer type asParallel in Previous Employment form. When the start date of Previous employment falls

after the start date of the employee system gives a warning asking whether the dates are

correct. User can choose option as Yes and continue with saving of the records in case of

Parallel employment.

Global Deployment

Fixed the case where System errors out during the Global Deployment of a Person From

One Business Group to Netherlands Specific Business Group because the mandatory

field Initials was not assigned any value. This is fixed by extending the array so as tobypass the validation of that field.

Oracle Public Sector Human Resources

As part of this release, sanity tests are performed in the areas of Budgeting, Grade StepProgression, Position and Transaction.

Oracle Labor DistributionAs part of this release, Sanity Tests were conducted for Encumbrances, Adjustments,

Scheduling, Non Oracle Sub lines, Pre Gen distribution Lines and Effort reports

Oracle Time and Labor

Supervisor Dashboard

With this release, supervisors can use the enhanced Timecard Status Dashboard to search

for the status of timecards considering supervisor hierarchy. Additionally, supervisors canuse the dashboard to view a graphical representation in percentage of timecard status and

the timecard start date and end dates. This enables supervisors to search for timecards

that are missing, submitted or approved for a specific timecard period. Supervisors canuse the Timecard Status Dashboard to generate Timecards Status details. Supervisors can

also action timecard approvals actions pending notifications from the Timecard Status

Dashboard.

Performance

The performance of 'Validate for BEE' request have been improved.

'Audit Trail Report' and 'Validate Data Set' requests performance has been enhanced.

API

Absence Days/ Hours field gets updated correctly in the Recent Timecard page when

Absence is created using Timestore Deposit API.

Oracle Learning Management

UCM Integration

OLM is now integrated with the Universal Content Management server. UCM has beenadded as a content server and LCMS to OLM. The OLM / UCM integration has been

done in such a way that accessing a piece of content stored on UCM would only be

possible directly through UCM for persons who have the right privileges, forAdministrators through the OLM Admin interface who have the right Login andPassword and for Learners by playing the content of a Class in OLM for which they have

access.

Therefore, it should not be possible for an OLM Learner who has access to a piece ofcontent stored on UCM and used in an OLM Class to access the content on UCM outside

of OLM by using information from OLM like URLs or other form of direct or indirect

links to the content on UCM.


6/30

6 | P a g e

Currently, it will not be possible to export content from within OLM when it is placed on

a UCM Content Server.

Auto-Subscription & Auto Competency Update in Certifications

For Learning Certifications that are number of days based a new option Auto-Subscription has been added to learner access. All learners, learning groups or

assignments that are being given access can now be auto subscribed. A concurrent

request that can be scheduled would then pick up these records and automaticallysubscribe them to the learning certification. On the Certification - Subscriptions detail

page a new column called Automatic Subscription has been to the table. This column

contains a checkmark for those Learners who have been automatically subscribed.

A new checkbox has been added to the Update Subscription Status page. If the

Subscription Status field is set to Certified, the checkbox Update learners

competencies will be shown. If the checkbox is checked the Certification specific

competences will be appointed to the Learner based on the setting of the Learning

Certification Competency Update Setting field for the Certification.

Oracle Performance Management

Mass Change of Main Appraiser

Currently either an Administrator or the existing Main Appraiser can change the MainAppraiser of an appraisal to another worker. This however can be done manually for only

one appraisal at a time. The new enhancement allows the administrator to mass change

the main appraiser for multiple appraisals for a selected appraisal period and appraisaltemplate. This is possible for both standalone as well as appraisals from performance

management plans. The administrator will also have the option to select only those

appraisals where the supervisor of the employee for the selected appraisal differs fromthe main appraiser. A new concurrent program introduced in this enhancement will

update the main appraisers for the selected appraisals.

Printable Page

The printable page enhancement allows users to select specific sections of their appraisalssuch as Objectives, Competencies etc. that they would like to print in either of two

formats, the Form or Table layout. The specific details of the appraisal can be selected by

the user on the newly added Configure Print Options page. A seeded rtf template has

been delivered so that the Appraisal details are passed from the Configure PrintOptions page to the .rtf template as an XML string and the rtf template then produces the


7/30

7 | P a g e

Printable PDF format of the Appraisal. This feature is not available for offline appraisals

currently.

Questionnaire Enhancements

With this enhancement, Administrators will now have the flexibility to specify if theanswers for questions in the questionnaire should be selected from a pre-defined lookup

or Drop-down List. They will also be able to specify if the answers for questions can be a

free text or long text. Administrators will be able to make some/all questions in theQuestionnaire mandatory. Both Main Appraisers and Appraisees will be able to print out

their appraisals with new Questionnaires in a PDF format. There is also a provision to

enter detailed text (4000 characters) in text areas of the questionnaire (long text). Detailed

text entered in the questionnaires will be displayed in the printable PDF output.

Oracle Succession Planning

Talent Profile Access Restricted

Changes have been made to ensure that if an administrator adds a successor to a plan and

the successor is outside the security profile of the manager that the plan is assigned to, themanager will now be able to view all the successor details except for the talent profile of

that successor.

Validations have been added to ensure that administrators will not be able to view anyplans in which they have been added as successors.

A new parameter has been added to the succession plan portal function that allows theuser to view custom talent profile pages instead of the seeded page.

Oracle iRecruitment

Assessment in Multiple Languages

Although iRecruitment can display the same vacancy in multiple languages, the current

assessments functionality, doesnt allow a test to be reused in multiple languages. For this

reason create multiple tests, one per language, and iRecruitment will display theassessment based on the session language.


8/30

8 | P a g e

The assessment has to be defined in a specific format, for iRecruitment to display the

correct assessment (Registration Test when candidate registers and Application test when

candidate submits job application).For example, if the languages installed are English (US) and Korean (KO), 2 different

tests have to be created, one per language. The naming convention should be

TestName_LanguageCode.Ex: If the name of the test in General Test, the test name should be as follows.General Test

General Test_KO.

If IRC_REGISTER_TEST, is set to General Test. iRecruitment will display the testbased on the value set for the language parameter L.

If a candidate from Korea visits iRecruitment, with IrcVisitor.jsp?L=KO, iRecruitment

will pick up the registration assessment: General Test_KO. Similarly, if a candidate from

US visits iRecruitment, with IrcVisitor.jsp?L=US, iRecruitment will pick up theregistration assessment: General Test.

Upload offer after edits

Currently a manual upload of offer letter is only possible after the offer has been

approved. From R12.1.6 onwards, managers/recruiters would be able to upload a

manually created offer letter while creating or updating the offer itself. This will ensurethat the offer letter that is being sent to the candidate actually goes through the approval

process.

For achieving this, upload button is provided on the View Offer letter page during theCreate and Update offer flow. But if the user tries to save the transaction for later, a

warning message that the manually uploaded offer would not be saved would be

displayed. The user has to upload the offer letter again when he revives the save for later

transaction.

Interview across responsibilities

iRecruitment delivered Interview Management feature in 12.1 using which Recruiting

Managers can schedule, track and complete interviews online. My Interviews region on

the Home Page displays the interviews scheduled for the next N number of days.Currently, the My Interviews region operates in the context of a specific responsibility

only.

This behavior is changing from 12.1.6. iRecruitment users will be able to view the

interview schedules for all the vacancies they are involved in, immaterial of the

responsibility chosen. So, whether the logged in user plays the role of a RecruitingManager or an interviewer, iRecruitment will start to display all the interview schedules

in the Interviews region.

An additional drop down will be displayed in the My Interviews

All (default value):When the value is set to All, all the interviews scheduled for the vacancies being

managed by the Hiring Manager / Recruiter & the interviews where the logged inuser is directly indicated as an interviewer are displayed.


9/30

9 | P a g e

Assigned To Me:When the value is set to Assigned, only the interviews that the logged in user is

directly indicated as an interviewer are displayed.

For My Vacancies:When the value is set to For My Vacancies, the interviews scheduled for thevacancies being managed by the Hiring Manager / Recruiter are displayed

Application Time Resume

Candidates can register and submit job applications to vacancies in iRecruitment. As part

of the job application process, they can upload a resume specific to that vacancy.Documents uploaded at the time of job application are referred to as Application Time

Documents and can be viewed in the Candidate Details page. Applicants can navigate totheir account details and upload another resume at a later point of time. iRecruitment

currently displays the latest resume on the View Applicants Page when a manager orRecruiter views an applicant resume.

Starting 12.1.6, iRecruitment will provide an option to view the Application Time

Resume on the following pages:- View Applicants

- Dashboard >> Recent Applications

- Recruitment Summary >> Applications page

- Candidates Search >> Applicants

Full location address in interview notifications

Prior to 12.1.6, when a manager or recruiter creates an interview for an applicant, the

applicant would be notified with only the location name. From R12.1.6 onwards, theinterview notifications is modified to display the complete address of the location to

applicants and interviewers.

Oracle Advance Benefits

Detect Life events from EIT's

The current benefits functionality only supports the ability to trigger a person change

from an update to a segment of a Special Information type, but the same functionality

cannot use the Assignment Extra Information or Person Extra Information as a personchange to recognize a life event. This enhancement allows life events to be triggered

based on a change to a Person Extra Information Type for a person or related person and

Restrict Participants from Beneficiary Eligibility

Currently, the only restriction on beneficiary eligibility is for contacts and organizations.

Contacts must have the personal relationship flag. Organizations must have theOrganization Classification of Beneficiary Organization. There is no ability to prevent

participants from designating themselves as beneficiaries. This enhancement provides the

ability to prevent participants from being allowed as beneficiaries for a benefit plan. A

checkbox will be used to flag at the plan level whether the participant should not beincluded in the list of eligible beneficiaries.

Enrollment

For compensation objects with coverage end date code as 1 Prior. When de-enrolling

from a plan, the enrollment is voided. After the fix the plan is end-dated as per thecoverage end date.

not moved to the new primary assignment after the Recalculate Participant Values

process is run.Now the element entries are passed to the right assignment.

Rate

After processing the Loss of eligibility Life event, the end date for flex credit rates with

activity type as "Net Credits Distribution" or "Net Credits Used Deductionare changed

based on the new rate end date. After the fix the correct flex rates are displayed againstthe flex shell plan.

13/30

13 | P a g e

process was run on the wrong effective date or the wrong group of assignments was

processed, or if corrections need to be made on a mass scale.

The Back-out post process would leave the changes done in CWB such as compensation

awards allocated in the worksheet as well as any budget allocations and distributions,

worksheet submissions and/or approvals intact and only backs out the entries posted toHR system by the post process but leave assignment/promotion-related changes intact inthe core HR system such as updates to an employees job, position or grade may have

taken place since the participation process was run.

CWB Admin can optionally grant access to all managers to make changes to their

employee allocations once the posting process has been backed out. CWB Admin is

restricted from removing any salary proposal changes or element entries, if the salary

proposal has been updated since the awards were posted to the HR system.

Oracle Payroll

Core Payroll

Payroll Simulator

With this new feature the employee can perform Payslip modeling by entering what-if

values and running a mock payroll. The output is a sample Payslip using the results of thesimulated run. This self service utility is aimed at facilitating employees to check their

estimated carry-home pay based on an upcoming Bonus or Tax Refund and plan

accordingly. Payroll administrators can use this feature to answer employee queries or to

perform what-if analysis for payroll planning.

All the iterations carried out here are only for Simulation purpose and none of them gets

propagated to the actual data present in database. As per the design of Payroll Simulator,

during the simulation run the actual data gets modified but these changes never getcommitted. So effectively the Payroll Simulator process does not alter any actual data.

Following are the features added from core payroll perspective:

Addition of new profiles HR: Enable Multiple Assignments for PayrollSimulation and HR: Enable Payroll Simulation.

Addition of SIMULATION_ELEMENTS EIT Feature for enabling elements for payroll simulation Payslip modeling template and exclusion elements set in self service preferences. Modeling availability rule and simulation locking dates.. Self service pages to enter mock values and display sample payslip.

Void and reversal of cheques

In business process, customers might need to re-issue a cheque for various reasons like a

lost check, incorrect pay value, etc. After voiding a cheque the user might want to re-issue a cheque or reverse the payroll to correct the values. As both scenarios contain more

than one process, this enhancement clubs these processes together in a single flow for a

single check or a batch as whole.

Void check is used when one needs to re-print a check that has been lost ordamaged or if there is a printing error. Voiding a check does not prevent the

payment from being made again.

Void and Reissue situation occurs when the current check needs to be voided, anda new check with the same amount needs to be printed. This involves processes

like voiding a cheque and running cheque writer.

Canceling a cheque is done when the check has already been printed but theamount on the check is not valid. In such a situation, cheque should be voided and

all calculations are to be done again. This involves processes like voiding the

cheque and reverse the payroll run.
