Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC) – Oracle HCM

The Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC) is an interview-based tool in Oracle HCM that assists in efficiently setting up the basic enterprise structure. It streamlines the creation of divisions, legal entities, business units, and reference data sets based on responses to guided questions.

Key Features of ESC:

✔️ Automated Enterprise Setup – Defines legal entities, business units, and divisions.
✔️ Scenario Testing – Allows users to create multiple configurations and test various setups.
✔️ Review Before Implementation – Provides an overview of the structure before deployment.
✔️ Rollback Functionality – User can rollback the configurations in case of errors.

Types of Organizations in an Enterprise Structure:

• Enterprise (Headquarters): The top-level entity overseeing all operations.
• Ultimate Holding Company: A legally registered entity that governs all business divisions (e.g., Reliance Group).
• Divisions: Business segments or product lines (e.g., Reliance Petroleum, Reliance Communication).
• Legal Entities (Legal Employers): Country-specific registered businesses within a division (e.g., Reliance Petrochemical India, Reliance Petrochemical Abu Dhabi).

Process of Using ESC:

1. Create Enterprise Structure – Answer guided questions to define organizational hierarchy.
2. Review Configuration – Validate divisions, legal entities, business units, and reference data.
3. Load Configuration – Apply the final structure to the system.
4. Rollback (If Needed) – Undo the configuration manually in case of errors.
