Q : What is Legislative Data Group in Fusion HCM?

Legislative data groups are a means of partitioning payroll and related data.
At least one legislative data group is required for each country where the
enterprise operates. Each legislative data group is associated with one or more
payroll statutory units. Each legislative data group marks a legislation in
which payroll is processed, and is associated with a legislative code, currency
and its own cost key flexfield structure.

Q : What are Oracle Fusion Trees?

Oracle Fusion trees are graphical representations of hierarchical data such
as the structure of your organization. Oracle Fusion Human Capital
Management (HCM) provides predefined tree structures for department,
organization, position, and geography trees. You cannot change the predefined
HCM tree structures. With the exception of geography trees, you can create
multiple trees for each HCM tree type, and multiple versions of each tree. For
all HCM tree types, however, only one version of each tree can be active at one
time.

Q : If you update an assignment record multiple times in a single

day, can you still track the record, if yes how?
For some objects, such as assignments, more than one update per day is
maintained by creating a physical record for each update. Such objects include
an effective sequence number in each physical record to show the order in
which updates made to an object on a single day were applied.

Q : What is Functional Setup Manager or FSM as it is more

commonly known as?
Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager (FSM) is an application that
provides an end-to-end guided process for managing your functional

Q : What is Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC) and what

are the benefits of using it?
The ESC is an interview-based tool that guides you through the configuration
of your enterprise structures. Use the ESC as part of your set up to define the
organization structures and job and position structures of the enterprise.

Q : What do you understand by Reference Data Sharing?
In oracle Fusion Reference data sharing facilitates sharing of configuration
data such as jobs, grades across business units. It can be understood as
buckets of reference data assigned to multiple business units. It helps
to reduce duplication and maintenance by sharing common data across
business entities where appropriate. In Oracle Fusion Applications reference
data sharing feature is also known as SetID. A set, which is available out of
the box is called Common Set
In HCM Set enabled objects are: Departments, Locations, Jobs &
Grades
Q : What’s the difference between the Watchlist and the
Worklist?
Watchlist feature provides a set of shortcuts to items that you want to track or
that require your attention. Watchlist is used to see a count for each item and
to navigate to the relevant work area where you can view or perform tasks on
the item. For example, a Watchlist item is for expense reports awaiting
submission. You can see how many expense reports you have created but not
yet submitted, and click the Watchlist item link to navigate to the work area
where these reports appear.

Whereas Worklist feature presents workflow tasks that require your approval
or other action, as well as notifications for you to view. Worklist is used to
manage tasks, access their details, or take appropriate action. For example,
some managers might see approval tasks for invoices, and select a particular
task to approve, reject, or otherwise act on the corresponding invoice.

Q : What is distribution threshold in fusion performance

management?

When we
create Rating Model for performance management we do define Rating
Distribution to tell what is the minimum and maximum percentage of worker
should fall in each rating level. This is more commonly known as
Normalization. Now the Distribution Threshold is a filed to control “Number
of eligible workers a manager must have to see distribution target“.

Free-Form Content Type

Free-form content types enable you to capture information in a profile that you do not
need to store in the content library. For example, you can set up a free-form content
type to store information about the previous employment information for your
workers.
A free-form content type contains only a code, name, and a description, and does
not have any properties defined for it until you add it to a profile type. Free-form
content types do not include any content items.

What is an Employment Term in Oracle Fusion HCM?

The Employment Model is designed to support simple or complex global work relationships. In Oracle
EBS, if an employee has work relationship in two different Legal Entities, then the Assignment record
has to be maintained in two different places. Because Fusion HCM is global, it is created only once
even though an employee is working in two different Legal Entities. The global person is a good
improvement for multinational enterprises and the employment models ensure employees can be
entered into the system reflecting their employment in the enterprise.

What are the advantages of using Employment Term?

It manages a worker’s relationship with multiple legal employers, multiple assignments, or individual
contractual agreements with great flexibility and ease. If you know that a person will have multiple
similar assignments in a work relationship, assignments automatically inherit any information that you
enter in employment terms. Because you enter the information once only, using employment terms is
efficient and promotes consistency among related assignments. You have the option to limit or
prevent changes made directly to the assignments level.
