You can create formulas to validate submitted timecards using the Human Resources responsibility. You can also write formulas to define which time and labor entries or changes require approval before an application retrieves the data. For example, you can specify that overtime entries higher than a certain level require approval. You create the time entry and approval rules formulas using the OTL Time Entry Rules formula type.
For each new formula you define, you create a new flexfield context in the OTL Formulas flexfield . For each new context you create, you also create a segment for each formula input you want to enter through the Time Entry Rules window. This setup enables you to select the formula in the Time Entry Rules window for one or more rules, making appropriate entries for its inputs for each rule.

Workers who are assigned to time management structures and policies might use the Work Schedule template, which autogenerates their time based on their rotation plan, and holiday calendar.Similarly, people assigned to projects managed through Oracle Project Resource Management might use the PJRM Assignments template so that their project, expenditure type, and hours information is automatically recorded on the timecard.Others working in consistent patterns from week to week might use the Last Period Timecard template, so that their entries from the previous timecard are defaulted onto the new timecard.You can set up any other templates your workers require, and you can set preferences to enable them to create their own templates.Whichever template is used, the time entry procedures are the same: each worker can edit the defaulted values on the timecard, review the new values, and submit the timecard. Similarly, workers who don't use templates, but make their entries on a blank timecard each time, follow the same procedure: enter values, review them, and submit. The timecard is automatically submitted to an approval process.

To create an analysis, you begin by selecting a subject area from which you select columns of information to include in the analysis. For example, to create an analysis of journal information, you begin by selecting a General Ledger - Journals Real Time subject area. Subject areas are based around a business object or fact. In this example, the subject area is based on the columns in the journal tables.

E-Business Tax tax rules let you create a tax determination model to reflect the tax regulations of different tax regimes and the tax requirements of your business. You can create a simple tax model that makes use of default values without extensive processing, or a complex tax model that considers each tax requirement related to a transaction before making the final calculation.During execution of the tax determination process, E-Business Tax evaluates, in order of priority, the tax rules that have defined against the tax configuration setup and the details on the transaction. If the first rule is successfully evaluated, the result associated with the rule is used. If not, the next rule is evaluated until either a successful evaluation or default value is found.The E-Business Tax tax determination process is organized into rule types. Each rule type identifies a particular step in the determination and calculation of taxes on transactions.The tax line determination process uses the information of the transaction header and transaction line to determine the tax lines.

E-Business Tax provides two entry flows for setting up your tax rules:
-Guided Tax Rule Entry - The guided tax rule entry provides a five-step flow that lets you build determining factors and tax conditions as you create the tax rule. See: Setting Up Tax Rules: Guided Rule Entry for more information.
-Expert Tax Rule Entry - The expert tax rule entry provides a concise, three-step entry flow that makes use of determining factor sets and tax condition sets that you have previously defined. See: Setting Up Tax Rules: Expert Rule Entry for more information.

During the installation of Linux, you might use the default name for mount points appearing. Once the installation of Linux is complete, suppose you want to start with the Database installation. But you can see that /home mount point has the maximum space and you don't want to install the database in the location /home instead you want the database to be installed in the path /u01.In such case, you can easily rename mount point /home to /u01 using ftab.

Please follow the steps mentioned below in order to rename the mount point. In my case, I will be renaming /home to /u01

1. First login as root user on Linux.

2. Move to /etc directory  by issuing command cd /etc as shown in below screenshot

3.Open the fstab file using any text editor.  I used nano text editor for the same  ( nano fstab).

After entering the command nano fstab, the contents of fstab will be displayed as shown below

4. Now replace the /home  wherever seen in in the fstab file with /u01 ( the new name of the mount point )

Once you have edited press ctrl + x and then Y to save the changes in the  file

5. After saving the file run the command umount /home -l to forcefully unmount /home directory

6 .Then mount the newly created directory by issuing the command mount /u01

7. Now if you see the mount name by issuing the df -h command, you will be able to see the new name i.e. /u01 as shown in below screenshot

To create an HCM data role, you perform the Manage Data Role and Security Profiles task. On the Create Data Role: Select Role page, you enter a name for the HCM data role and select the job role that the new HCM data role will inherit. When you select the job role for the HCM data role, the HCM business object types that the job role needs to access are identified automatically.

Oracle Identity Management is the identity store and Oracle Entitlements Server is the policy store for Oracle Fusion Applications. Both applications are available independently and each has its own terminology. The terminology that Oracle Fusion Applications uses isn't always the same as the terminology that Oracle Identity Management and Oracle Entitlements Server use. You must understand these terminology differences as you manage business objects

There are three components that are dependent on each other when defining a country: geography structure, geography hierarchy, and geography validation. Every country has to have the geography structure defined first before the hierarchy can be defined, and the geography hierarchy has to be defined before the validation can be defined.A geography, such as Tokyo or Peru, describes a boundary on the surface of the earth. You can create new geographies by importing data through interface tables. There are two options for populating the interface tables: using the tool of your preference to load the data or using file-based data import. If you plan to provide the data details in a source file, use the file-based import feature. If you will populate the interface table directly, run the geography loader process to import the data. Having a good understanding of the import entity, interface table, and destination table will help you prepare your import data.

Recently while working on Fusion Application environment ( during ‘Hire an Employee’) activity I found a ‘Matching Person Records’ popup message which said that Person ‘P’ having Last Name ‘L’ , First Name ‘F’ , Birth Date ‘D’ ,National Identifier Type ‘N’ and National ID value ‘NV’ already exist in the application.

Now that are a lot of attributes and does not gives a clear picture on which specific attribute value actually decide that whether a Person record is duplicate in nature.

To get a clear idea on the same I started to explore on the same and performed the following steps:

1. Login to the Application

2. Navigate to Person Management

3. Search for a random person (say Person Number 1543 for this example)

4. Navigate to Manage Person Screen

I chose an already existing person record (Person Number 1543) and a screen-capture of the Person’s Manage Person page looks as below

We would capture the details (attributes relevant for this demonstration) in a tabular format

Now let-us navigate to the ‘Hire an Employee’ page and try to create a Person Record such that we get the ‘Matching Person Record’ message.

We would only try to fill in the bare minimum fields required here.

A quick look at the ‘Hire an Employee’ page

The UI prompts namely Hire Date, Hire Action, Legal Employer, Last Name and candidate (this is a descriptive flex-field and would not be available in other environment). The asterisk sign preceding the prompt signifies a mandatory field.

Scenario1: Same Last Name Field Value and NID not populated

Now we will try to populate the Legal Employer, Last Name and candidate field and check whether we get the ‘Matching Person Record’ message

Scenario2: Different Last Name Field Value NID not populated

Let-us try to change the Last Name field value and try to navigate to next page

We are able to move on to the next page, which confirms that in case the Last Name is not matching then the record is not duplicate.

Scenario3: Different Last Name field Value Same NID

But, what if we keep a different last name and same national id values

The message again appears.

Scenario4: Same Last Name field value different NID

In the above scenario, we have changed the National ID value from 24367925379 to 24367925378 keeping the last name value same and it allows us to navigate to the new screen.

Scenario5: Same Last Name Different Date of Birth Different NID

When we click on next we are able to navigate to next page

Scenario6: Same Last Name Same Date of Birth Different NID

The Order Manager is a repository of orders that represent the requirement to move freight from one point to another from one shipping point to one consignee location. An order in OTM is a generic term and does not imply direction; for example, outbound to customers or inbound from vendors. Orders are most likely created in some external order management software package or an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system such as E-Business Suite. Orders are then transmitted to OTM for transportation management and planning. However, you can also enter orders directly in OTM and initiate transportation planning and optimization.Orders can be described as two distinct business objects: order base and order release. An order base represents the detailed information about the order; for example, an order ID, the involved party, scheduling information, source and destination locations, accessorials, special services, as well as the content of the order. Order content is described in terms of packaging (called ship units) or individual line items. For example, item data could be pallets of goods, bulk quantities of chemicals, or individual items.

Knowledge Modules (KMs) are code templates. Each KM is dedicated to an individual task in the overall data integration process. The code in the KMs appears in nearly the form that it will be executed except that it includes Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) substitution methods enabling it to be used generically by many different integration jobs. The code that is generated and executed is derived from the declarative rules and metadata defined in the ODI Designer module.KMs have two different types of implementation styles: Template-style and component-style. Template-style KMs can be created and edited by users. Component-style KMs are built-in KMs that can be configured through options, but not be created or modified by users. The currently available component-style KMs are Loading KMs and Integration KMs. The style of a KM can be seen in the physical view properties of the Mapping Editor.

Mappings are the logical and physical organization of your data sources, targets, and the transformations through which the data flows from source to target. You create and manage mappings using the mapping editor, a new feature of ODI 12c. The mapping editor opens whenever you open a mapping. Mappings are organized in folders under individual projects, found under Projects in the Designer Navigator. You can build reusable mappings and use them in other mappings or other reusable mappings.Using the logical diagram of the mapping editor, you can construct your mapping by dragging components onto the diagram, dragging connections between the components, dragging attributes across those connections, and modifying the properties of the components using the property inspector. When the logical diagram is complete, you can use the physical diagram to define where and how the integration process will run on your physical infrastructure. When the logical and physical design of your mapping is complete, you can run it.

The chart of accounts mapping is used by Accounting Setup Manager to complete the setup steps for secondary ledgers, and it is used by the Global Consolidation System (GCS) to consolidate data between ledgers. Chart of accounts mapping provide instructions for mapping accounts or entire account segments from one chart of accounts to another for consolidation purposes and secondary ledgers.For consolidations using the Global Consolidation System, the chart of accounts mapping enables to transfer consolidation data from subsidiary ledger to parent ledger. For secondary ledgers that use a different chart of accounts from their associated primary ledgers, the chart of accounts mapping enables to transfer journals and balances from the primary ledger to the secondary ledger. A chart of accounts mapping is required for all secondary ledgers that use a different chart of accounts from the primary ledger.
