Bespoke (pronounced bee-SPOHK)

Therefore , "Bespoke" was most commonly used for suits made specifically for a customer without the

use of a pattern. In effect, the length of fabric was "spoken for".

The Need

IT, Health care based industry are Manpower intensive, therefore Human Capital management system

is really is need to cater today growing need. Though Integrated system like Oracle or people soft or

SAP there is capability of maintaining each function, but still companies prefer to have a front end

application for maintaining some of the key information for employee management system.Therefore

Custom web based application possibility can not be ruled out.

If this is the case inhouse development team would like to access the HRMS/Payroll via API's so that

they can have there own presentation layer.

1. Is this possible ? Then How?

2. Where do I find the API documentation?

So answer of these questions are

1. Yes, it possible. You need to identify the tables and API's

2. There are enough documentation available for this.

Just Follow these post, you will get answer of most of your query.

Its all about Table and API

Such kind of Bespoke/custom application requires these Oracle tables access which are divided into

three major tracks.

Reference tables : The details for driving basic Information.

Employee tables : The details for driving employee vital details

Payroll tables : Payroll details for employee or any other elements.

1.Reference Tables : What you really required

Publicly Callable Business Process APIs in Oracle HRMS

Oracle APIs are a logical grouping of all external process routines. The Oracle HRMS API sets delivers a

set of PL/SQL packages procedures and functions that provide an open interface to the database.

There are three options for you to find the details:

1. Oracle Documents

To find a current list of publicly callable business process APIs in Oracle HRMS; you need to go

into your On Line Help from within applications and use the search field to find 'Publicly

Callable Business'. In the Search Results frame you will see a link to 'Publicly Callable Business

Process APIs in Oracle HRMS (Oracle HRMS)' listed.

2. Irep

To find correct information on APIs you check Oracle Integration Repository (irep) which can

accessed via MetaLink by selecting the Knowledge tab - Knowledge Browser sub-tab, then in

the Online Documentation box select - Oracle Integration Repository.

3. Search the database

You may find official documentation on Publicaly Callable APIs as in options 1.

You can search in the HR Schema for the stored procedures with name 'HR%API'. Open the

Package spec and then read the inline comment about the parameters. This is very useful to

understand what is meant by each paramater and what the API does.

4. Etrm via metalink

TRM helpful in selecting the appropriate API call.

Considertaion for using API

Before using any API's of payroll and HRMS you must have clear understanding of

1. Data Tracking

2. Validation paramater

3. Correction, insert mode of API's

Additional Note for API's documents

You can download "Configuring, Reporting and System Administration in Oracle HRMS" document from

the Oracle documentation library. It has a list of api's.

Payroll to GL Transfer : “All you wanted to Know…..”

Posted on December 11th, 2008 by Sanjit Anand |  Print This Post |  Email This Post

Okay.. this was again a hetric week , learn some of new things from HR area. As helping some fresh

payroll guys who was doing some report development and other group came for some rescue for

balances discrepancy from payroll they transfer to GL. Thought to have this post , and tried to cover

some of the vital information which purely focus on Payroll to GL transfer Process.

 What is purpose of Payroll Costing and Transfer to General Ledger ?

In Payroll area, the Costing process basically allocates payroll run which results to cost segments.

The Transfer to the General Ledger process transfers cost information to Oracle General

Ledger interface tables.

At the installation - setting up segments of the Cost Allocation key flexfield to determine the

windows in which users can select cost codes.

Oracle Costing you use a post–payroll run process to accumulate payroll costs.

For Oracle General Ledger you can map the segments of the Cost Allocation key flexfield to the

corresponding segments of the General Ledger Accounting flexfield.

If you do not using GL in same product, you may consider how to relate information on labor

costs entered in Oracle Human Resources to your financial systems.

Who drives the payroll costing :Its Cost Allocation Flex field Segments

Define a structure for your Cost Allocation Flex field which contains the segments you want to

use for your Business Group. You will use this structure to enter your payroll costing details in

Oracle HRMS.

You use Segment Qualifiers to control the level at which costing information can be entered to

the system. Each Qualifier determines the level at which costing information can be entered

How it works

The costing process picks up 'run

results'. The specific 'payroll actions'

that will be picked up by the costing

process are in

PAY_ACTION_CLASSIFICATION table

and have a CLASSIFICATION_NAME of

'COSTED".

So the process will create an

assignment_action for every

assignment that has a run result

from one of the 'costed'

classifications.

The process then populates the

PAY_COSTS table with the run result value (costed value). The actual cost code is stored on the

PAY_COST_ALLOCATION_KEYFLEX table in the 'concatenated_segments' column, this is referenced

using the 'cost_allocation_keyflex_id' from PAY_COSTS. (Adopted - Source metalink)

When the Payroll costing results are transferred to Oracle General Ledger only the mapped segments

and the costing amounts are transferred. The data is transferred from the PAY_COSTS table into the

GL_INTERFACE table by running the Oracle Payroll process Transfer to GL. After the transfer from

Payroll is complete, the batch will need to be imported into GL. This is done by running the Oracle

General Ledger standard GL Import process .

Transfer Program to GL process populates the following columns:

status

set_of_books_id

accounting_date : This is effective date of payroll run

currency_code

date_created

created_by :801...which is the application id for Payroll

actual_flag

user_je_category_name :hard-coded as Payroll

user_je_source_name :hard-coded as Payroll

entered_dr :the dollar amount to be debited

entered_cr :the dollar amount to be credited

reference21 :payroll_action_id of the transfer to GL process from pay_payroll_actions

reference22 :cost_allocation_keyflex_id from pay_cost_allocation_keyflex

 Which program take care of payroll cost transfer.

It is pytrangl.pkb, located in $PAY_TOP/patch/115/sql/pytrangl.pkb

What data is mapped from Payroll to General Ledger when information

Similar to other Application transfer program, Payroll transfer populates the following reference

columns in GL_INTERFACE:

Reference21 :Payroll_action_id of Payroll Transfer to GL process

Reference22 :Cost_allocation_keyflex_id of Payroll cost flexfield for this entry

Reference23 :effective date of the Payroll Run this entry is derived from

Reference24 :Date_earned of the Payroll Run this entry is derived from

Reference25 :Payroll_action_id of Payroll Run this entry is derived from

Journal import is then placed these in reference1, reference2, reference3, reference4 and reference5

in GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table.

The GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES columns are actually populated during the GL Journal Import process.

Although these are mapped from the columns in the GL_INTERFACE table, the 'Transfer to GL' process

does not actually populate the GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table

Technical Tables Involved

pay_assignment_actions

pay_action_interlocks

pay_assignment_actions

pay_gl_interface

pay_cost_allocation_keyflex

gl_import-refrence

gl_interface

1) insert the following parameters in PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS

Costing results are generated based on the check date of the payroll process. However, you do have

the ability to set the accounting date for the transfer to date earned rather than date paid. To do this

you would need to change the TGL_DATE_USED pay action parameter to "E". If you do not do this then

the accounting date of the transfer defaults to the check date of the originating payroll

1.  2. INSERT INTO PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS VALUES

('TGL_DATE_USED','E');3. INSERT INTO PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS VALUES

('TGL_REVB_ACC_DATE','Y');4. INSERT INTO PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS VALUES

('TGL_GROUP_ID','Y');5.  

2) Setup your costing flexfield qualifiers.

3) Create an element.

4) Link the element : You need to check the costing radio button,and transfer to GL checkbox. Then

you have to enter the values for the costing/balancing field.

5) Then you need to run the quickpay/pre-payments/costing process

6) Then you can track the ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID and PAYROLL_ACTION_ID navigating to View--

>Payroll Process Results/Assignment Process Results

7) Verify that the costing details are created in PAY_COSTS table.

This is small query which you can use to get the details:

1.  2.  3.  4. SELECT * FROM PAY_COSTS WHERE ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID =

&assignment_action_id;5.  6.  

8) Then you need to run the Payroll transfer to GL process: Here are the data get inserted in GL

Interface.

1.  2.  3. SELECT gl.* 4. FROM pay_payroll_actions ppa,5. pay_assignment_actions paa,6. pay_costs pcv,7. gl_interface gl 8. WHERE ppa.payroll_action_id = :costing_payroll_action 9. AND ppa.action_type='C' 10. AND pcv.transfer_to_gl_flag='Y' 11. AND ppa.payroll_action_id = paa.payroll_action_id 12. AND paa.assignment_action_id=pcv.assignment_action_id 13. AND gl.user_je_source_name='Payroll' 14. AND

gl.reference22=TO_CHAR(pcv.cost_allocation_keyflex_id));15.  

9) Verify the data should be imported into gl_interfaces

Do a quick check

1.  2. <pre>select * FROM gl_interface3. WHERE set_of_books_id =1003 --(set_of_books_id)4. AND GROUP_ID =123 -enter_group_id5.  

10) Then import the same in GL by navigating to Journal-->Import.

 Running Transfer To GL Process

1. Select View tab in the menu and then select requests

2. Select Submit a New Request button

3. Select Single Request radio button and then click ok button

4. Now enter as follows

Name : Transfer To GL

Select the parameters Field then enter the Following details

Payroll Name: enter the Payroll Name for which you want to Process

Consolidation Set : Consolidation Set name of a Payroll

Start Date : Select the Start Period for which you want to run the Payroll

End Date: Period End Date

5. Then after filling the above fields then select OK Button

6. Select Submit button to submit the

 Query to get Payroll data in GL side

Here is small query that you can use to get the details of Payroll data from GL side.Script

Let me know, if you have any question and comments for GL transfer of Payroll area.:)

“Business Group” in EBS

Posted on February 22nd, 2008 by Sanjit Anand |  Print This Post |  Email This Post

Lets talk about one of the basic concept of Oracle Application which is so called "Business Group" , part

of Multi-org architecture. Understanding this is important for non HRMS consultant as in R12 Finance

the new legal Entity architecture is equally important.

Business Group in HRMS Shared Mode

A business group is a basically Human Resources organization to which you assign employees. You

assign each operating unit to a business group in the financial options setup. You can assign the same

business group to different operating units including to operating units in different financial sets of

books. You can setup a separate business group for each operating unit if you want to segregate and

maintain each group of employees separately. Oracle provides one setup business group you can use.

In case of not having HRMS (Full mode),what you have to do is ,to create at least one business group

to cater requirement for Oracle Financials and Manufacturing, so that only the employees can perform

some of application functionality , which are as follows:

Entry and approvals of purchase orders and requisitions require requisitioners, buyers, and

approvers to be setup as employees.

Purchasing receiving staff must be setup as employees in order to use receiving screens.

Engineering change order approver lists use the employee database to validate approvers.

AP expense report features allow you to create suppliers from employee information and to

generate expense report coding using employee default account numbers.

iExpense requires users who enter or approve expense reports to be setup as employees.

Fixed Assets allows you to optionally assign assets to employees for tracking purposes.

Standard Workflow approvals of GL journal entries in Release 11 require approvers to be setup

as employees.

Standard Workflow approvals of AR credit memos in Release 11i require approvers to be setup

as employees.

AP may add invoice approval through AME , which will likely require approvers to be setup as

employees.

There are few exceptions, where you have to understand when your installation site is having HR and

Projects modules installed, as there are significant implications of business group and HR

organizations.

Business Group is part of MultiOrg model of Organizations

The Multi-Org model provides a four level hierarchy that dictates how transactions flow through

different business units and how those business units interact

Set of Books- GL- Balancing Entities/Funds

Business Group

Legal Entity -HR- Fin- Legislative Reporting

Balancing Entity

Operating Unit- AP, AR, PO, OE -Bal Segment 1, Bal Segment 2,Bal Segment 3

Inventory Org MFG, INV, Ship

There is one confusion between Oracle Financial and HRMS consultant, as they simply assume SOB is

more meant for non HRMS module and BG is more for HRMS, in certain extend this is true.Lets

investigate this on GRE\LE and OU as follows:

Know something more for SOB

As covered in earlier post ,a set of books is a financial reporting entity that shares the three

C’s that is Chart of accounts(accounting flexfield structure), functional currency and

calendar.

Oracle General Ledger secures transaction information (journal entry),When we use General

Ledger, we choose a responsibility that specifies a set of books. We then see information only

for that set of books.

In the multiple set of books, the concept of “global†item master Organization exist, since �the item master organization is used for item definition and not item accounting information.

More over all accounting activity releated to the item master can be controlled at the item or

organization level. Example is consolidation at the corporate office or Head office.

Is SOB linked to HR module?

Yes,. Once SOB is created from GL setup part, this can be linked in HRMS by such navigation

Work structure => GL organization Description ==> Business Group

What is a Business Group/Legal Entity?

Represents the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or an operation company.

Human resources information is secured by business group.(For example, when you request a

list of employees, you see all employees assigned to the Business Group of which your

organization is a part. )

This is true in all applications except the Human Resources applications themselves, which

support more granular security by a lower-level organization unit.

Multiple sets of books can share the same business group if they share the same business

group attributes, including Human Resources flexfield structures.

Business Groups separate major segments of a business. Each can have it's own set of books.

Each Group will also have a structure of other organizations classifications assigned to it.

Till Release 11i Legal Entities post to ao Set of Books

o Operating Units are part of a Legal Entity

o Inventory Organizations are part of an Operating Unit ·

o Inventory Organizations define and maintain items used by other manufacturing

modules (Order Entry,Purchasing, MRP, etc.). They also collect and pass data to the

Financials modules.

Operating Unit vs Business Group

With Multi-Org you can define an owning Operating Unit and associate this with a profile option

-MO:Operating Unit. When you define data or execute a business process within Oracle

Financials, then the system automatically attaches the id of your Operating Unit organization

to the data or transaction.

With Business Group security model in HRMS you can secure data and processes by id of the

Business

Group.However, in HRMS, the Business Group id is closely related to the country of operation,

and not simply a division or line of business.

Both look the same but it is important to realize that these are distinct and different

mechanisms for two different functional areas. This is especially true for any global

implementation of HRMS where the data for each country exists within a single business group

but Operating Units exist across many countries, and business groups.

Setup Business Group

As per standard User Documentation: A ’Setup’ Business Group is supplied with Oracle HRMS.

This business group is used by the default responsibility. You can use this business group with all of its

default definitions as the starting point for your own Business Group, or you can define other business

groups to meet your own needs.

A business group enables you to group and manage data in accordance with the rules and reporting

requirements of each country, and to control access to data.

The critical factors for deciding when to use a separate business group, or an international business

group, are based on the following factors:

If you use Oracle Payroll

The number of people you employ in a country

If you require legislative support for Oracle HR

Generally the laws are so different in each country that to be compliant, there must be a different

business group for each country in which an enterprise has employees.

BU in HRMS and other Integration

The need for cross functional integration cann't be denied as most of the base information is pulled

from HRMS to Oracle Finance , Manufacturing as well as CRM Modules. A typical integration aspect

with some of the core module can be best understood as figure below:

Let’s Talk About ‘Security Groups’ functionality available within Oracle HRMS

Let’s Talk About ‘Security Groups’ functionality available within Oracle HRMS

Posted on December 19th, 2007 by Sanjit Anand |  Print This Post |  Email This Post

There was a requirement to provide a particular BU user to access to other BU PO's for approval.

Normally such kinds of requirement always happen in today's complex business model . To implement

this requirement a best we can do it is to use of new profile option which was introduced in Oracle 11i

called HR: Cross Business Group , which need to switched on (i.e. set to "Yes") can be used .This

new profile option makes it possible for Oracle Application users to view and modify certain specific

areas of data across all business groups.

From 11.5.9 onward in HRMS there are two Security Models as:

Standard HRMS Security

Security Groups

The first one is Standard HRMS security which normally requires defining a security profile, and

defining a responsibility for use by application users, whereas security groups means whereby you can

reuse a responsibility and assign it to different security profiles in different business groups if required.

Typically Multi-national Companies would be benefited from security as they normally have concept of

service centres using multiple business groups and security profiles.

 The good and bad in new Security Group Model

The Standard Security Model on Oracle HRMS forces a responsibility to be tied to only one business

group/security profile. This means that when new business groups are added a brand new set of

responsibilities must be set up for the business group, even if the new set of responsibilities is identical

in every respect to existing responsibilities assigned to another business group.

The new security group model can cut down dramatically on the number of responsibilities required as

it allows responsibilities to be reused by many different business groups.

Here are the key points of how the new security group functionality works.

Every time a business group is created a new security group of the same name is

also created.

Security profiles are defined the same way they are now. There is no change in this

functionality.

Form Assign Security Profile is activated under the new security model. This form

allows a user to be linked to a security profile, responsibility, security group (business

group) combination.

Profile option HR: Business Group is no longer set manually for HRMS

responsibilities. This profile option will be set dynamically when a user selects a

responsibility/security group combination at logon.

Profile option HR: Security Profile is no longer set manually for HRMS

responsibilities. This profile option will be set dynamically when a user selects a

responsibility/security group combination at logon.

The \Security\User Define Screen in the System Administrator responsibility is no

longer user to assign HRMS responsibilities to users as this is now done in the

new Assign Security Profile screen.

Please note, that although it is possible in the new security group model to access many business

groups through the same responsibility, because of the way users are now assigned to

responsibility/security group combinations, an HRMS user can only access the data in one business

group at any one time.This can be best understood in next section.

 Overview of Standard Security Model versus new Security Group Model

Lets try to understand by a simple diagram below, what is here is 3 BU defined in global instance

representing three BU X-Singapore, X- Australia and third one X-UK. The simple diagram below shows

the difference in responsibility set-ups associated with each model.

In the standard security model when a user logs on or decides to change responsibility the list of

responsibility names they have access to are presented to them to select from. In the security group

model when a user logs on or decides to change responsibility the list of responsibility names and the

associated security group (i.e. business group) assigned to the user are presented to the user to select

from. This difference can be best described as:

3 steps away to switching to the new security model

The steps required to switch to the new security model are as follows;

Profile option HR: Cross Business Group should be set to "Yes".

Profile option Enable Security Groups must be set to "Service Bureau"

Concurrent request Enable Multiple Security Groups must be run.

Not to Forget
