INTRODUCTION
Oracle Fusion Fast Formula Cloud Services is an easy way to configure the existing functionality in Oracle Fusion Time and
Labor Cloud Services. Formulas are pieces of code that can receive information from calling program (packages), access
database information, and return values to the calling program. The calling program can use this information to modify the
process functionality. The formula language hides the complexity of accessing the tables and columns.
A formula can return more than one value to the calling program. Different programs that call the formula expect outputs to
return differently. The formula type determines the number and data type of the values to return.
 Some programs expect the defined names for outputs. In this case, if the formula doesn't use these expected
names, the process errors out at run time. The location of an expected name in the return statement doesn’t
matter.
 Some programs expect the output to return by location. In this case, if the formula doesn't find the output in the
expected location, the process errors out at run time. The name of the output doesn’t matter.

Time submission rule formulas determines when to automatically save and submit time card entries created with time
events imported from time collection devices. For example, automatically save a time card after each Out application event.
Or, automatically submit a time card after receiving the Out application event for the last scheduled shift of the week.

FORMULA NAME:
WFM_TSR_SUBMIT_OR_SAVE_ON_NUMBER_OF_DEVICE_EVENTS_AP

Description
This fast formula is associated with the delivered rule template Number of Time Entries Template. It compares the reported
Out events imported from the time collection device that match the conditions of the specified time category with the
minimum entries defined for the Submit action. If the number of reported Out events is the minimum or more, the formula
submits the time card. Otherwise, it compares the Out events with the minimum entries defined for the Save action. If the
number of Out events is the minimum or more, it saves the time card. If neither condition is met, the formula sets the time
card status to Entered. This template uses an array processing formula.
Initial release: 11.1

Example
Your people clock out and in when taking their breaks (2 per work day), and meal. They also clock out just before leaving for
the day, for a total of 4 clock outs in a standard work day. The time card period is weekly. You create a rule with this formula
that automatically completes the appropriate action:
1. If the total reported Out events are 35 hours or more, submit the time card.
2. Else, if the total reported Out events are 7 hours or more, save the time card.
3. Else, set the time card status to Entered.
Submit if More Than 35 hours, Save if More Than 7 Hours

FORMULA NAME: WFM_TSR_SUBMIT_OR_SAVE_ON_WORK_SCHEDULE_AP

Description
This fast formula is associated with the delivered rule template Work Schedule Submission Template. It compares the
reported Out event imported from the time collection device that match the conditions of the time category with the submit
range. It calculates the submit range using the defined threshold, last scheduled work day, and time. If the Out event is in
that range, it submits the time card. Otherwise, the formula compares the reported Out event with the save range. If the Out
event is in that range, it saves the time card. If neither condition is met, it sets the time card status to Entered. This template
uses an array processing formula.

Examples
Scenario: Your people typically work 8 Regular hours per day and 5 days per week, which is the time card period. You create
a rule with this formula that compares the total day and weekly hours to the scheduled total of 40 hours. The submit
threshold is 4 and the save threshold is 9. If the formula can't find the schedule or the total hours equals 0, then submit the
time card.
Example1: The total reported payroll hours equal 30 hours, which is less than both the 36 submit and 31 save threshold hours
so the formula sets the time card status to Entered.
