HRMS Assignment

1. How do you change the Secondary Assignment to become the Primary Assignment?
To make a secondary assignment the primary assignment, follow the steps
listed below:
Responsibility = Must be a HRMS Responsibility
Navigation = People ->Enter and Maintain -> Assignment
Form Name = PERWSEMA or PERWSHRG (Assignment)
1. Sign into Oracle Applications and navigate to the
Assignment form by clicking on People ->Enter and Maintain.
2. Query an employee and click on the [Assignment] button.
3. Date-track to the date you want the change to take affect.
4. Query back the relevant secondary assignment.
5. In the alternate region, select Miscellaneous.
6. Make sure the 'Primary' flag is marked and save the record.
Note: Some times you have to exit the application and come back in to view the changes to the record.

2. How do you end a Secondary Assignment?
Answer Set your effective date to the actual termination date for the assignment and update the assignment status to End or Terminate Assignment as follows:
Responsibility = Must be a HRMS Responsibility
Navigation = People ->Enter and Maintain ->Assignment
Form Name = PERWSEMA or PERWSHRG (Assignment)
1. Sign into Oracle Applications and navigate to the Assignment form by clicking on People ->Enter and Maintain. Query an employee and click on the [Assignment] button.
2. Date-track to the date you want the change to take affect.
3. Query back the relevant secondary assignment.
4. In the Status field, select End or Terminate Assignment from your list of values.
For example, if you want to terminate the assignment on the 1st of June you would date-track to the 1st of June and perform the above steps. -- Use Status = End, if all pay processing for the assignment is finished. This makes your effective date the assignment's final processing date, after which no further processing for the assignment can occur. -- Use Status = Terminate Assignment, if further pay processing of the assignment is required after the date the assignment ends.

3. How do you input Default Expense Codes for Payables in a full install of HR?
Value is input through Purchase Order Information stacking (alternate) Region on Assignment form (PERWSEMA or PERWSHRG).
Responsibility = Must be a HRMS Responsibility
Navigation = People ->Enter and Maintain ->Assignment
Blue pull-down menu - alternate region
Select Purchase Order Information. Form Name = PERWSEMA or PERWSHRG (Assignment)
This option only appears in the alternate region when Oracle Financials are
installed.

4. Using a secure user responsibility you are receiving an error on the People
Form(PERWSEPI) and assignment form (PERWSHRG).
Value XX is invalid.
*XX can be any number.
Answer The error message is produced when the GRE assigned to the employee's
assignment record is not in the secure user's security profile. Therefore the
secure user has not been given access to this GRE. To confirm, using a "view
all" responsibility, navigate to the assignment form and display the GRE
information for the employee.
Please Note: If you use the secure user responsibility, you will not be able to
see the GRE. The List of Values is controlled by the security profile.
People ->Enter and Maintain
Query back employee
Hit
GRE's and other data
Note the GRE Name.
Now switch your responsibility to the secure user and navigate to
Work Structures ->Organization ->Description
You will not be able to query the GRE assigned to the employee, because your
secure user has not been given access to it.
The secure user must either be given access to the GRE via the security
profile, or the employee must be assigned to a GRE already accessible by the
secure user.

5. You are entering information on the employee assignment screen PERWSEMP. Upon saving the employee assignment you get the following error: 'Please Choose a Valid Combination? What is the cause of this error?
Responsibility = Must be a HRMS Responsibility
Navigation = People ->Enter and Maintain
Enter employee information
Go to Assignment and enter data SAVE receive error Please Choose a Valid Combination

Answer When defining the Key Flexfields, Allow Dynamic Insertion must be checked.
In this situation it was the Flexfield People Group which did not check the
Allow Dynamic Insertion checkbox..

6. What is the possible reason for the system hanging on the Assignment Form? For instance, you are in the Assignment form and date-track to an earlier date. You then make any change and try to save but the system hangs.
Answer One of the possible reasons this is occurring is the element link
created was not date-tracked correctly. The element and link are both in
date-track tables. The person that this problem is occurring for probably had
an API insert this element to a person before the link's dates.
You should check to see if the link was created after the element being applied
to this person. Navigation: Total Compensation > Basic > Link. You can check the link start date by going
to the Alternate Region and clicking on the Miscellaneous tab.
You must remove the element from the person and correct the link by end-dating
the link and re-creating another one.
Another possibility would be to remove the element from the person, thereby
freeing the link to be removed and correctly inserted with the correct date.

7. When a new employee is created in HR, an assignment record is created
by default - with an organization, location and Assignment status.
Can this be stopped, so that the user can create an assignment when
they are ready with all the information for the assignment?

Answer Information for the assignment is automatic. This is the functionality
of the product and the defaults are tied to the Responsibility. HR
Security Profile pulls the Business Group, the location defaulted is the
location for the Business Group.

8. How do you create an employee who is currently an applicant? You are trying to hire an employee who is currently recorded in the system as an applicant. You receive the following error: APP-52347: The hire date is outside the DD-MON-YYYY and 31-DEC-4712
Answer The status of the application must be changed to Accepted before the
applicant can be changed to an employee. Once that is completed, you
cannot hire the employee on the same day that the application is
accepted. Datetrack forward one day to complete the transaction or
datetrack back one day to set the application status to accepted and
then reset to today to hire the employee. See Note 99066.1 for more
information.

9. How do you add the GRE and Other Data Tab back to the Assignment Form? After applying PER.G
unable to open the GRE and Other Data Tab on Assignment Form.
Answer Verify that your Profile Option: Flexfields: Open Key Window is set to "Yes".
System Admin/Profile/System
Responsiblity: US HRMS Manager
Option: Flex%Open%Key%
