3. New and Changed Features in Human Capital
Management
3.1.1.1. Enforce Minimum Coverage for Life Events with No Electable Choices
Situations occur in which due either to data issues or to configuration issues, where a
participant is found ineligible for something in which they are currently enrolled. The
participant loses coverage and is not allowed to make elections for the event.
To detect and handle these cases, the application is enhanced to perform the following:
• Identify whether the minimum enrollment for the Plan Type in Program should
be checked for a business group when an event is processed and the person
cannot make elections.
• When an event is processed that does not allow the person to make elections,
check whether the person has lost coverage.
• If the person lost coverage and is still eligible for the Plan Type in Program that
they were enrolled in, check whether a person still meets the Plan Type in
Program minimum limitation requirements.
• Generate an error if the requirements are not met so that the person does not lose
coverage and the eligibility issues can be resolved.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Advanced Benefits 24
• Indicate a distribution end date for a recurring compensation within the same
transaction in which it is awarded.
With regard to ICD plans, administrators can now:
• Configure validation on input values based on Value Sets, Data Types,
Minimum, Maximum, and Default, Lookups and Fast Formula.
• Configure element entry flexfields to capture compensation-related information
for an employee. For example, justification for the compensation can now be
configured as a flexfield, captured during the transaction and stored as part of the
employee element entries.
• Default input values as fixed values or by using a fast formula.
• Search employees and update or delete awards.
• View, update, and delete element entries that did not originate in ICD.
• Configure action items for compensation plans. This will put a person’s
compensation on hold until the action item is provided.

New approval types for learning including class enrollments and certification
subscriptions are supported with Mobile Release 5.0.
3.3.1.3. Display the Worksheet Manager in the Switch To Manager Search Page
Prior to this release, the search results on the Switch To Manager page only provided the
employee’s supervisor. However, when an employee has been reassigned from one
manager's compensation worksheet to another, the worksheet manager becomes different
from their supervisor thus making it difficult for managers to search and identify the
employee’s actual worksheet manager.
With this release, managers and administrators now see the employee’s worksheet
manager and supervisor in the Switch To Manager search results within the compensation
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Compensation Workbench 35
worksheet. This makes it easier to correctly identify the worksheet manager to whom
they need to switch.
• Use the spreadsheet capabilities to update employee promotion data and upload
the changes back to Compensation Workbench.
Compensation managers with large numbers of employees for whom they make
job, grade, position or other promotions-related changes will appreciate a
streamlined promotions process.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Compensation Workbench 36
Prior to this release, compensation managers could update custom segments and
other rates only through the Compensation Workbench worksheet, which could
be cumbersome. With this feature, they can upload custom segment and other
rate changes at the same time, which simplify and make the allocations process
more efficient.

compliance with company compensation policies and better pay equity for employees.
3.3.4.2. Back Out Compensation Workbench Life Events Process for Single Person
Administrators can now back out the Compensation Workbench Life Events process for a
single employee, offering a simple way to back out just one person. Until now, the only
way to accomplish this was to write a person selection rule.

a group of employees, just as they can with the mass print process. They can also test
email statements to resolve any issues prior to emailing the official statements to
employees. The addition of the mass email option helps companies to directly
communicate with their employees, even in cases where Employee Self-Service is not
offered.

3.5.1.3. Access to Ex-Employee and Future-Dated Employee Records in User Based
and Dynamic Security
Prior to this release, you could not access the employee records for former or future-dated
employees if you were using the dynamic security profile. This restriction was due to
performance considerations. Unlike static security, in the dynamic security profile the
application evaluates the security definition when a user logs in. With a new system
profile, you can retrieve the records of former or future-dated employees.
3.5.2.2. Ability to Change the Final Process Date when It is Set the Same as the Last
Standard Process Date
Prior to this release, when HR managers processed terminations they could not modify
the Final Process Date if the date was the same as the Last Standard Process Date. With
this release, managers can modify the final process date even when it was set the same as
the last standard process date.

Absence Negative Balance profile option to enable this feature. If the profile value is set
to Yes, then the existing behavior continues. If the profile value is set to No, then workers
who have exceeded their balance will get a message that their leave balance is negative
and they cannot apply for leave.

incremental synchronization APIs will be called internally to move user and role data
from product groups to the Workflow Directory Services tables.
The “Allocated Checklists and Task Process” concurrent program is a process to identify
any checklist life events that have not yet been processed. For each life event, the process
allocates the checklist to the person and builds the list of checklist tasks based on the
eligibility profiles. Currently, this concurrent program retrieves all the identified events at
the Pending status and processes them one by one. However, if the processing encounters
an error, it stops further execution without processing the rest of the events. In this
release, ability is provided to process further without stopping if an error occurs and
proceed to identify other errors if any. In such cases, the concurrent program ends with a
warning status.

checklist level will be propagated to all corresponding tasks. User can still assign
additional eligibility at the task level if separate criteria is required for a task.
Furthermore, now assignment tables can also be used to define life events for checklists.
Task level messages are also provided.

”Work from Home Info”. The new EIT is available in the Assignment window in Oracle
HRMS and on the Employee Self-Service Extra Information page. You can maintain
multiple work from home records that are date tracked in the professional forms. In Self-
Service you can create only a single date-tracked work from home record based on the
system date.
3.5.9.4. Use the Person Selection Rule for Collective Agreement Evaluation
If your enterprise has a large volume of collective agreement entitlements data to
evaluate, then when you run the Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation Process,
you can use the new Person Selection Rule parameter to limit the persons evaluated by
the process, thereby improving the performance of the process.
Use the Workforce Explorer Dashboard to search for employees and contingent workers
using various search attributes. This dashboard enables you to analyze search results
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Human Resources Command Center 46
using people metrics, charts, graphs and tables. The metrics give insight into breakdown
of number of employees and contingent workers in your workforce. Tag clouds help you
to identify people based on a particular tag cloud such as organization, job, position, and
location. Use graphs to analyze employee data and to make informed decisions.
Compare details of two or more people to recognize the right person or persons to
perform a task. Review person details that are displayed in a tabular format. From a
person card, you can drill down to the talent profile of that person, if you have HR Self-
Service license.

UK legislation Director and Pensioner fields are enabled.
These fields can be used in combination with other fields in the Available Refinement to
search for matching employees.

listed below the search box. You can remove one or more refinements to refresh your
search. Further, you can save your selected refinements. All saved searches will be
listed in the search box.
In the compare tab, the export feature is enabled to export the details that you compare.

Prior to this enhancement, all the reports were being run for all the employees. This
enhancement gives flexibility to run the report for limited set of employees from archived
set of employees.
The Payroll Dashboard gives payroll professionals valuable insight into their payroll
process information by providing the ability to perform readiness checks, monitor payroll
processes and to perform data analysis all in a single place. In addition to payroll
processes, the Payroll Dashboard also offers payroll professionals with the ability to
monitor and analyze the Australia specific concurrent programs.
Now the Payroll Analysis tabbed region is enabled for the Australia localization and can
be used to compare the amounts processed against each classification, or element, or
balance between a chosen current and previous payroll periods.

3.9.10. Release 12.1 HRMS RUP12
Oracle HRMS (Australia) enables the support for Single Touch Payroll (STP) to report
year-to-date figures on a pay by pay basis rather than one report at the end of the year.
The payroll data is archived to produce the XML file to send to the ATO. STP
information and the intermediary information for the authorized agent are recorded at the
legal entity level. Employers need to set up an authorized user and the sending service
provider or the third party to create and submit the report. The STP report includes all the
YTD information, the superannuation amount, W1, W2, and any changes to the TFN of
the employees.
The employees who are exempted from being reported in the STP are recorded using the
extra assignment type Single Touch Payroll Extra Information type. These employees
will not be archived during the STP Archive process but will be listed as exceptions in
the Exception Report.
The STP processing includes running the archive process and the STP report. Users can
run multiple archives for the same or different set of employees and can combine to
submit one file on a particular date. If a file has been corrupted before sending to the
ATO, then users can regenerate the file using the Full File Replacement option while
running the report. Users can also produce an exception and a validation report to view
the information that has been archived and reconciled.

collective agreement that indicates that they will use holiday cards for reporting the
holiday information, they must now report the data using the XML report as specified by
the DA. The DA operated a paper-based holiday card system until 2011. This system has
now been replaced by an electronic holiday card system.
All employers who use holiday cards currently are required to submit the data
electronically to the DA using the new XML format to the Electronic holiday card
system.
The holiday bank transfer system is not affected by this change, and employers who do
not belong to the DA will continue to send the employee information via PBS to the
holiday bank. The new holiday card system only affects employers who choose to use
holiday cards.
An employer cannot use holiday bank transfer if they have indicated their use of the
holiday card system, as they can only use the electronic holiday card extract. This enables
them to create the XML file for submission to the electronic holiday card system.
Customers using the holiday card currently as a manual paper based system will need to
switch to the new electronic holiday card system. They will also need to upload the data
file received from the electronic holiday card to the Oracle Payroll application. This in
turn will generate a holiday pay payment to the employee who has requested the holiday.
The process that uploads the received electronic holiday card XML file is run and
controlled by the payroll administrator. This process must be run before the payroll
process in order for the holiday pay to be paid.

The following are the advantages of moving predefined data from PDT files to LDT files:
• Fewer dependencies—only the changed entities are re-extracted and delivered
• Faster release of patches
• Fewer regressions
• Less testing impact—test only the changed entities
• Easier debugging of hrglobal issues through the use of FNDLOAD commands to
test data

Each year, employers in Singapore are required to submit employee earnings information
to the IRAS (Inland Revenue of Singapore). The personal tax amount is calculated by
IRAS based on this information.
The amendment file is required only if there are changes to amounts or fields that affect
the total amount of employment income. For example, where an employee’s income tax
is borne by the employer but the indicator had not been given earlier.
Employers do not have to send amendment files for changes to employees’ personal
details, such as address, date of birth, and so on.
In the amendment file you need only provide the difference between the original
(transmitted) amount and the actual amount. Leave all other numeric fields, which were
not affected by the error in income or deductions, blank.
Example: the income or deduction amount is under or over reported in the earlier
transmission.
Actual Salary = $25,000
Original Transmission = $21,000

The mechanism of delivering predefined HRMS data for UAE has been enhanced. With
this release the data is delivered through LDT files instead of PDT files. Each entity is
delivered via a separate LDT file. These LDT files are still called from hrglobal.drv and
post install steps must be run.
The following are the advantages of moving predefined data from PDT files to LDT files:
• Fewer dependencies—only the changed entities are re-extracted and delivered
• Faster release of patches
• Fewer regressions
• Less testing impact—test only the changed entities

primary resident address. This can be useful if the employee has their mail delivered to a
post office box instead of their physical home address.
You can now control the number of online W-2 forms employees are able to select in the
drop-down list of values. This is useful for controlling how many years' worth of W-2
forms employees are permitted to view online.

and/or 1099-R forms in Self-Service with one click of a button. They can perform a date
range search for a particular payslip and then select it from the drop-down list of values.
When viewing their W-2 or 1099-R forms, they will also see a bar graph comparing key
data from the current and past year. When viewing their payslips, they will also see

3.30.1.2. Recruitment Communications
The recruitment process involves communication between recruiters, hiring managers,
and candidates, including communication about the status of applications and additional
instructions about interview schedules, or clarification about job applications. These are
critical from a record-keeping standpoint.
Using the Recruitment Communications functionality, recruiters and hiring managers can
communicate with recruiting team members, candidates, and agencies individually or as a
group. They can initiate a topic or message and add recipients to it, and can send
messages to single or multiple applicants. The recipients receive notifications for these
messages. The recipients can respond to these messages from the Communication tab of
the Job Application details page. Users can attach documents to the messages.
The recruiters and hiring managers can configure the communication properties at the
vacancy level. If the processing of job applications for a vacancy is complete, then they
can close the communication.
3.30.1.4. Notifications for New Job Applications and Application Status Changes
Oracle iRecruitment enables you to define your own FYI notification rules (in Oracle
Approval Management) for actions performed in the iRecruitment application. By
default, managers, candidates, and recruiters receive these FYI notifications. You can
configure the Approvals Management rules to determine the recipients.
Oracle iRecruitment provides predefined notifications that notify:
• Vacancy managers or recruiters and applicants about the application status
changes
• Vacancy managers or recruiters when new job applications are submitted for
their vacancies

Oracle iRecruitment now enables a manager or recruiter to upload a manually created
offer letter when creating or updating an offer. Prior to this release, manual upload of
offer letter was possible only after the offer was approved, and only from the Offers
Workbench functionality.
Users can click the Upload button on the View Offer Letter page to upload the offer
letter. However, if an offer that has a manually uploaded offer letter is saved for a later
date, then the manager must upload the offer letter again when the offer transaction is
processed from the Save for Later table.

3.34.1.2. Free Text Question Type
Free Text Question is a new question type that allows learners to provide elaborate
responses rather than a simple yes or no.
There are two major areas where this new question type can be used:
• To assess learners’ knowledge of a complex topic by evaluating the free text
responses. The answer will be evaluated by the instructor.
• In surveys and course evaluation to gather feedback on questions such as “What
would you like to see in this course in the future?” and “What was your general
impression of the course?”
This new question type does not have a finite number of correct answers, which means it
cannot be scored by the system. The idea is that instructors or administrators can ask
more general questions and learners can give elaborate responses. Instructors can decide
whether the answers should influence the result of the test.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Learning Management 133

3.34.2.5. Reduced Number of Clicks in OLM Pages
A number of changes have been made in OLM to reduce the number of clicks learners
and administrators make to navigate through the central OLM workflows.
• Added a Direct Enrollment icon to the search result tables (for learners and
managers). With this new icon, learners do not have to go through the process of
choosing a course, offering, and a class each time they want to enroll in a class. If
there is only one class for a course, the learner can directly enroll in that class
after searching for it. If there are several classes but only one offering, the learner
can go directly to the classes and enroll in one of these classes.
• On the Course page, if the course has a prerequisite, learners can now click a link
to view the course details of the prerequisite course.
• Added enrollments shortcuts and email icons to the class list page (for
administrators). Four new columns in the table on the Classes page make it easier
for the administrator to work with classes and enrollments from this page.
o The first column shows the number of available seats in the class, so the
administrator does not have to open the class page to see this.
o The second column contains a Mail icon, whereby administrators can
send a mail to all learners enrolled in a class.
o The third column contains a Bulk Enroll icon that administrators can use
to directly navigate to the Bulk Enroll page without having to navigate
through several pages.
o The Last column contains a Single Enroll icon that brings administrators
directly to the Single Enroll page in one click.
• Eliminated the second search for class in the Enrollment and Subscription
workflow (for administrators). On the Enrollment and Subscriptions subtab,
when administrators click Add Enrollments, the search result from the first page
is carried over to the next page so that administrators don’t need to perform the
same search twice.

The color of each question in the new panel will represent the status of that question:
• Answered
• Answered and marked for review
• Marked for review
• Skipped
• Not answered.
It is now possible for the administrator to restrict the use of e-learning when taking and
renewing a certification.
This makes it possible for organizations to put a limit on how many consecutive
completions and renewals of a certification can be done using e-learning.
As an example the program can be set up so the learner have to use ILT every second
time the learner renews a certification.

3.34.14.2. Enhanced Copy Class Functionality
The Administrator can now copy more data from the original Class when using the
Copy Class functionality. The Copy Class function now has 4 separate pages for
copying information from one Class to another:
• Class Details
• Learner Access Details
• Session Details
• Resource Details

3.34.16.3. Enhanced Notify Page
Administrators can now more easily send a notification to learners enrolled in a class as
the Subject field is now automatically populated with the following information in the
Notify page (Catalog, Classes, or Notify): Class Name, Class Start Date, and Class
Location. Administrators can also edit the populated text if required.
In the Select Recipients table, a new column "Mail Address" has also been added, making
it easier for administrators to ensure that the notification is sent to the correct recipients.

a warning, Oracle SSHR redirects all the direct reports of the terminated manager to the
immediate supervisor of the terminated manager and a message to this effect is displayed.
