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.

• 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.

and communication types.
3.1.5.2. Trigger Life Events from Person and Assignment Information Types
With this release, benefits administrators can define Person changes based on the creation
of or a change to a Person or Assignment Extra Information Type. This enhancement

opportunities.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Advanced Benefits 24
3.1.5.3. Control Ability to Designate Participant as Beneficiary
Plan requirements may prohibit participants from designating themselves as beneficiaries.

enables benefits administrators to email the delivered confirmation statement to
participants. Additionally, the administrator can include a subject line, From address, and
Reply To address.
The email server details are defined in two system profiles:
• FND: SMPT Host
• FND:SMPT Port
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2.4.
3.1.7.3. Process Life Events from the View Person Life Event Form
Administrators can now process life events and view or enter a life event on the Potential
Life Event tab of the View Person Life Event form using the new Process Life Event
button. Existing rules such as the processing of the earliest occurring unprocessed events,
collision evaluation, collapsing logic, and timeliness still apply.
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP6.

3.3. Oracle Compensation Workbench
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
worksheet. This makes it easier to correctly identify the worksheet manager to whom
they need to switch.

3.3.1.5. Update Percentage of Eligible Salary in Employee Administration
Compensation administrators can now update or override an employee’s percentage of
eligible salary in the Employee Administration page. Previously this could only be
updated via the allocation worksheet.
• 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.

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.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Compensation Workbench 33
3.3.5.3. Back Out Compensation Workbench Postprocess
Backing out postprocess is required if compensation changes were posted on the wrong
effective date or the wrong group of assignments was processed, or if any corrections are
required on a mass scale. Until now, there was no way to back out the changes posted to
the HR system as the existing back-out process meant also backing out all the changes
done in Compensation Workbench, such as budget allocations, awards allocations, and
worksheet submissions and approvals.
Compensation Workbench now offers the ability for administrators to back out only the
updates to employee records in the HR system, while allowing the updates in
Compensation Workbench to remain intact. The new Back-Out Postprocess allows
administrators to optionally back out performance ratings in addition to compensation
award amounts. They can also choose to return compensation worksheet control back to
the managers if further changes need to be made before re-posting. This new feature
streamlines the corrections process after posting has already taken place, making the
compensation awards process overall much more efficient and flexible, resulting in a
potentially huge cost savings to employers.

3.5.1.4. Multi-Tenancy for Business Process Outsourcing Vendors
Multi-tenancy in Oracle Human Capital Management is the ability for the outsourcing
provider to support multiple clients in the same HR instance. Each client must have
exclusive access to only their own data and must not have access to other clients’ data.
This enhancement provides data separation using Oracle Label Security. A framework is
provided within Oracle Human Capital Management to configure the system for multi-
tenant mode.
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.

restrictions are removed while data integrity is maintained. Now, HR users can perform
transactions such as Termination, Reverse Terminations or Reconsider Application in
Oracle iRecruitment even though future-dated person type changes exist for an employee.
Oracle HRMS provides the HR:Future Dated Person Changes profile option to control
the ability of HR users to perform such changes.
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.

3.8.6.1. Update TFN from 111 111 111 for New Hires After 28 days
According to the Australia Tax Office, if a new employee has not made a TFN
declaration, then the TFN of the employee is temporarily set to 111 111 111.
After 28 days, if the employee has still not made a declaration, the TFN must be set back
to 000 000 000. With this release, the application notifies the payroll manager to change
the TFN manually for those assignments that have a TFN of 111 111 111 at 28 days after
hire.
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP6.
3.8.6.2. Warning for Payments Made After Death via Direct Payments
Allowances and bonuses paid after death are not taxable and are not reported on the
Payment Summary under the Salary and Wages section. With this release, the application
generates a warning message to ensure that the payment for employees terminated due to
death is processed using Direct Payments. The application also ensures that earnings after
death are not taxed and are not reported on the Payment Summary.
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP6.

3.8.6.3. Payroll Dashboard
The Payroll Dashboard provides payroll professionals valuable insight into their payroll
and assignment process information by enabling them with payroll readiness, analysis,
and validation information for the entire payroll cycle. They can also improve efficiency
and reduce costly errors by using the dashboard to monitor payroll and assignment
processes. Payroll professionals can run, retry, or roll back any payroll process.
Administrators can easily configure the payroll readiness, analysis, and validation
information according to their requirements using both delivered and custom checks and
rules. For example, the readiness check can be configured to list employees who do not
have a TFN or have the default tax filing number of 111 111 111 for more than 28 days
from the date of hire.
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP6.

The feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP8.
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
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle HRMS (Australia) 46
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.
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.

various absence types of employees. To run this report, users must map their absence
types to the respective absence codes using the new flexfield provided in the Absence
Types window.
If the employer belongs to the Danish Employer Organization (DA) and they have a
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.
3.11.3.1. Loaders
The mechanism of delivering predefined data for HRMS for Denmark 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 the post install steps must be completed
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle HRMS (Denmark) 54
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

emailed to the employee's email address.
The digital signature can be placed on any location on the page. A scanned signature of
the authorized signatory can by also placed on the document. The user may choose to
show the employee's job instead of position as required in Form 16.

Saudi Government Sector Absence
The Oracle Payroll application for Saudi Arabia has been enhanced to support Saudi
Public Sector absences. Basic validation has been implemented.
Hiring Decision Number
Any government sector employee hired has a unique hiring number that must be
recorded. The Oracle Saudi Arabia localization is enhanced to record the unique hiring
number for Public Sector employees. This number has no validation.
3.23.5.1. Loaders
The mechanism of delivering HRMS predefined data for Saudi Arabia 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
• Easier debugging of hrglobal issues through the use of FNDLOAD commands to
test data
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle HRMS (Singapore) 84
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
Amended record should be shown as $4,000
Actual Bonus = $6,000
Original transmission = $8,000
Amended record should be shown as -$2,000
The Online Payslip functionality enables employees to view their payslips through the
Employee Self-Service responsibility. Customers can configure the predefined template

been delivered which prints the summary totals for each report or all reports in one single
run.

absence types that are displayed to users based on the business requirements. This feature
ensures that employees enter only those absences for which they are eligible, and
managers do not have to verify the validity of the absence type of employee requests.
When a self-service transaction is submitted that uses the AME rule with the First
Responder Wins voting method, the application sends the approval request to all
members of the approval group. It allows any member of the approval group to approve,
reject, or return the transaction for correction to the transaction initiator. It displays an
Action History region in the approval notification of the transaction to enable all
members of the approval group to know the latest status of the transaction. The Action
History region displays the name of the approver, the date on which a member of the
approval group acted on the transaction, and any comments that have been made. The
changes made by the transaction initiator are updated in the database when any member
of the approval group approves the transaction.

3.41.1.3. Summarize Regular/Overtime Hours Separately
Prior to this release, the Regular/Overtime summary region was available only on the
Timecard Review page.
With this enhancement, you can view the details of time entered and the overtime
calculation results on the confirmation page along with timecard explosion.
3.41.1.6. Use the Audit Change Report to Identify Changes Made to Timesheets
As employees have the ability, through Oracle Time and Labor Preferences, to change
timecard data (any changes and any number of times) after submission, they may submit
the same timecard for approval more than once for the same period.
The new Audit Change Report enables time administrators to identify changes made to
the timecards. The report tracks the changes and indicates the number of times and what
data was changed after timecard save, submission, and subsequent approvals. You can
print and retain this report for audit purposes.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Time and Labor 156

the Assignment page of Oracle HRMS (Core HR). The existing functionality for
associating purchase orders, purchase order lines, and suppliers remains.
This enhancement enables Oracle Time and Labor Time Sheet to retrieve multiple
purchase orders in the Purchase Order list of values. Now this LOV populates all
associated purchase orders for the contingent worker and enables the worker to report
time against multiple purchase orders.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Time and Labor 157
3.41.1.13. Enhancement to Preference Eligibility Criteria (Responsibility-Based
Preference)
In earlier releases, OTL’s preference eligibility criteria for a selected responsibility assign
preferences to the user when they’ve selected the responsibility, while logged in to the
system, and only for preferences that are required for the session. For example,
preferences that set the timecard layout or the number of blank rows on the timecard may
be set and used for the session. However, preference values required for processes
executed after the timecard submission, for example, preferences required to assign
values for Retrieval Rules, Application Set or Approval Style, use preference eligibility
criteria that can be determined when the user has not selected the responsibility. The
preferences used for post-timecard-submission processes use the preference eligibility
based on HR assignment attributes, assigned to a specific, named person, or assigned to
all people.
This enhancement provides a way to assign both temporary (session), and post-
submission preferences based on an OTL responsibility, and have those preferences be
persistent after the submission process. This allows for added flexibility in assigning
preferences and enabling OTL functionality.
3.41.4.1. Rollback Transfer Time from OTL to Batch Element Entry Process.
With this release, a new concurrent program is provided to roll back the payroll
retrievals. This process is equipped to roll back all payroll entries transferred from OTL
to Batch Element Entry either in full or for a timecard. This includes timecards
transferred directly to and timecards transferred through the Oracle Time and Labor
Rules (OTLR) Evaluation Engine to Batch Element Entry.
