BIP – Approval Task Name in Transaction Console vs Task name in BPM

In HCM, you can define approval rules for different HCM tasks from Tools -> Transaction Console -> Approval Rules

For example, you want to define an approval rule for Promote action. You can search Promo% in Find box and it will give you all matching approval rules:

You can then click on ‘Configure Rules’ to define the rules.

However, Transaction console has many limitations. You can’t define complex approval rules. You can’t make use of functions etc (Day between) in transaction console. In order to define more complex rules, you need to do it from BPM.

First step is that you need to search for a task from “Task Configuration”:

The issue here is sometimes the Approval Rule names in Transaction Console doesn’t match with Task names in BPM.

In such case, you can make sure of below Query:

SELECT HAPT.NAME "Approval Rule Name"
      ,HAPT.DESCRIPTION
      ,HRPB.TASK_FILE_NAME TaskName
      ,HRPB.TXN_MODULE_IDENTIFIER

BIP – Query to find size of documents attached in DOR

Oracle HCM provides a functionality to store different kinds of worker documents in Document Records. Over a period of time, a large number of documents get accumulated for different workers. In such cases, there are requirements to know size of attachments in DORs. For, this I have developed a simple query which can be modified as needed:

      ,TRUNC(SUM(wcc_documents.dFileSize)/1024,2) 			as "Size in KB"

BIP – Query to find workers with FTE < 1

BIP – Extract Absence Entries in HDL Format

Recently, I faced a scenario for a customer where after go-live, where there was an issue found with absence plan configuration. The absence plan was incorrectly set up. The Balance Frequency Source wasn’t setup to “Repeating Period”, so the accrual was calculated incorrectly. In order to fix this, a new absence plan was created and the absence entries were made against the new plan.

So, the approach taken was to take a backup of all absence entries from PROD, enroll the employees into new plan and reupload the absence entries.

A BIP report was developed to take a backup of existing absence entries in HDL format. Below is the query for same:

  AND apae.start_date BETWEEN paam.effective_start_date AND paam.effective_end_date
 )

Once the data is extracted, you need to make sure that Source System Owner is updated from FUSION to HRC_SQLLOADER. Source System Owner is set to FUSION when an entry is created from UI.

Once the output of the BIP is ready, Change “MERGE” to “DELETE” to delete all the absence entries. Then enroll the workers in new plan, do the required changes in BIP extract and upload the data back in Fusion HCM.
