Time and Labor and Absence Management Integration

One of the common requirements during Oracle HCM Cloud implementations is the standard process to integrate the absence entry with the time card page. If an absence is entered, the absence hour should be reflected on the time entry page. This integration was only feasible if the UOM (unit of measurement) during absence configuration was hours. If the absence UOM is days, then the integration field ‘Enable for time card entry’ was not editable.

After the 23B update, the integration is now possible even when the UOM is days. If an organization is using Time and Labor and Absence Management in their Oracle Fusion HCM instance, then enable this feature so that the field ‘Enable for time card entry’ is always editable.

 

Enabling the Integration Field:

To enable this integration field, follow the steps below:

1. Go to ‘Profile Management’ and access ‘Setup and Maintenance.’

4. Enter the following values in their respective fields:

  • Lookup Type Meaning: Upgrade Absence Management and Time and Labor Integration
  • Lookup Type Description: Upgrade to the new integration architecture for Absence Management and Time and Labor
  • Module: Global Absences
  • REST Access Secured: Secure

 

Click ‘Save’ and then add a new lookup code by clicking the plus (+) icon under the ‘Lookup Codes’ section.

  • Lookup Code: ANC_YES
  • Enabled: Select the check box
  • Meaning: ANC_YES

 

After completing these steps, click ‘Save and Close’.

Integration during Absence Configuration:

Once the lookup is created and enabled, the field ‘Enable for time card entry’ will be editable even if it is for absence type which was already configured or on a new configuration.

To modify the field value for a pre-configured absence type:

1. Open the absence type configuration page by navigating from the Absence Administration page.

5. Select one of the following options:

  • Not shown on time card: Absences entered won’t be displayed on the time card entry page.
  • Only view on time card: Absence hours will appear on the time card entry page but won’t be editable from there.
  • Editable on time card: Absence hours will be displayed on the time card page, and users can modify them from the time card entry page.

6. Click Save and Close after choosing the required setup.

7. Now, users can view the absence leave details on the time card page.
