Configuration – Update Legal Entity Name

There are requirements when the existing legal entity name should be updated to a new name. One should note that the LE name in UI is displayed for a view – HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS_F_VL.

Sometimes, even after updating the name in UI, correct name is not reflected on some pages like Manage Employment or Manage Legal Entity Information for HCM.

In such cases, one should verify the value in HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS_F_VL view to make sure the updated value is showing here.

If updated value is not available in this view, please follow below steps:

  1. Search for legal entity from ‘Manage Legal Entity for HCM Information’ under My Client Groups -> Workforce Structures
  2. Open the legal entity -> Click on action and choose correct
  3. Submit the changes without doing any change.

This should force the name update to happen in HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS_F_VL view.

BIP – Query to find list of jobs without job profiles

There is no easy way in OTBI to find list of jobs which don’t have a model profile associated with them. This can be achieved easily using BIP query.

Sample Query:

SELECT * FROM PER_JOBS_F pjf
 WHERE trunc(sysdate) between pjf.effective_start_date and pjf.effective_end_Date
   AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1
                      FROM HRT_PROFILE_ITEMS hpi

                     WHERE hpi.profile_id = hpb.profile_id
                       AND hpb.profile_usage_code = 'M'
                       AND hpi.profile_id = hpr.profile_id
