Preventing Unintended Salary Change Records with Zero Increase

Removing the salary section from actions like Change Assignment, Location, and Working Hours resolves this. If the issue persists, an SR must be raised.


Unable to Delete Withdrawn Absence Records: Resolution

If administrators are unable to delete withdrawn absence records in Oracle HCM, the system setting must be enabled through Absence Batch Parameter configuration. Activating the “Withdrawn Record Deletion” option allows administrators to manage and remove such records as needed.

If an eligible employee cannot add an absence type, key configuration areas must be reviewed. This includes absence plan setup, eligibility profiles, accrual entries, and employee assignment details. Proper validation of these configurations ensures smooth absence transaction processing in Oracle HCM.


Restricting Absence Entry to Today’s Date Using Fast Formula in Oracle HCM

A custom Fast Formula was implemented to restrict employees from submitting a specific absence type for future dates. The validation ensures the absence start date is not beyond the current system date. If a future date is selected, the system throws an error message prompting the user to enter today’s date only.


Absence Record Visibility Issue and Solution

Employees may not see older absence records if multiple leaves of the same absence type exist. The system displays the latest record by default. To view all records, users must select the "All" filter to retrieve both completed and in-progress entries.


Salary Statement Showing Zero Increase Issue and Resolution

Salary statements were incorrectly showing a zero increase due to the presence of a salary section in Change Assignment transactions, even when no data was entered. The issue is resolved by removing the salary section from such transactions, preventing false salary change records.
