One of the crucial tasks of HR Team is to maintain a clear track of the new hires and terminations of an Organization. It is necessary for the HR Team to have reports which provide an answer to important questions such as: 1. How many employees are newly hired in the last quarter? 2.

If HR personnel want to implement a new application to gather data, then tools like Oracle’s BIACM make it easy.

Oracle has delivered a set of seeded reports, as a part of the installation package, for the Fusion HCM users to view the data from the Fusion System. Once Users start using these reports, they would have a need to modify the reports to include more information or have few other filters additionally for easier Audit/Tax Filing purposes. Some of the usual modification requests from the users are: 1. Adding/Removing sub-totals/Grand-Totals from the existing output. 2. Few reports have only Excel output but Users require it as Text output, which also is possible. 3. Addition/Deletion of columns from the existing report as per User’s needs. 4. Parameters/Static Filters can be added to the HCM Extracts/Reports as per User’s specification. Apart from modifications, users will also need report enhancement such as: 1. In the ‘Statutory Deduction Register’ report, the existing ‘Summary’ layout produces incorrect sub-totals for the Base Amount Current/Taxable Wages value. 2. Users wanted to concat the Employee number, Name and SSN in the ‘Employee Active Payroll Balance report’ as similar to ADP Report so that they can do a quick compare of these 2 reports for their internal audit. 3. ‘Payroll Deduction report’ displays the deduction elements but Users […]

Oracle HCM customers mostly setup E-mail delivery for their custom/pre-built BI and OTBI reports. There would be a requirement where the report should be delivered to the End User only if it satisfies criteria. Usually, we can add these criteria to the BI Query/OTBI Filter section and restrict the report from displaying the data but we should also block the Email Delivery of this report or else the End User will receive an empty attachment which would be an inconvenience. We can use Event Triggers in BI and Rowcount in OTBI to restrict this blank file delivery to End User’s mailbox. In the BI report, create an “EventTrigger” of “Schedule” Type in the data model and specify the criteria which decide the row count of the report. BI report will initially check whether these criteria return any rows and if not, the report is not scheduled at all. Similarly in the OTBI report, on the report properties, under ‘More’, we can schedule it conditionally by providing the row count condition under the ‘Condition’ tab. We can set the schedule based on the condition row count is not zero in order to block the Email delivery. DataTerrain with years of experience […]
