How to Create Custom Employee Number Generation via Fast Formula

1. Create Sequence
create sequence xyz_emp_number
start with 1
2. Create Function to Generate Desired Sequence Number
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION XYZ_GENERATE_EMP_NUMBER
(
p_business_group_id IN NUMBER,
p_person_type
IN VARCHAR2,
p_party_id
IN NUMBER
) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
l_emp_number
VARCHAR2(15) := NULL;
l_applicant_number VARCHAR2(15) := NULL;
l_npw_number
VARCHAR2(15) := NULL;
l_auto_number
VARCHAR2(15) := NULL;
BEGIN
BEGIN
SELECT employee_number,
applicant_number,
npw_number
INTO l_emp_number,
l_applicant_number,
l_npw_number
FROM per_all_people_f
WHERE party_id = p_party_id
AND TRUNC(SYSDATE) BETWEEN effective_start_date AND
effective_end_date;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
l_emp_number
:= NULL;
l_applicant_number := NULL;
l_npw_number
:= NULL;
END;
IF l_emp_number IS NULL AND l_applicant_number IS NULL AND
l_applicant_number IS NULL THEN
IF p_person_type = 'EMP' THEN
l_auto_number := 'XYZ-' || xyz_emp_number.NEXTVAL;
ELSIF p_person_type = 'APL' THEN
l_auto_number := 'APL-' || xyz_emp_number.NEXTVAL;
ELSIF p_person_type = 'CWK' THEN
l_auto_number := 'CONT-' || xyz_emp_number.NEXTVAL;
END IF;
END IF;
RETURN l_auto_number;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
NULL;

END;

3. Attach Setup Business Group to Global Super HRMS Manager
Navigation: System Administrator -> Profile -> System
Responsibility Name: Global Super HRMS Manager
Profile Option Name: HR: Security Profile
Set Profile as Setup Business Group at Responsibility Level

Note:
The Above Step is Mandatory as one cannot generate Auto Employee Numbering on
any custom Business Group. This could be possible on "Setup Business Group"

4. Create Formula Function:

I. Navigation: Go to Global Super HRMS Manager -> Other Definitions -> Formula
Functions
II. Function Name: XYZ_NUMBER_GENERATION
III. Parameters:
Data Type: Text
Class: External function
Definition: <Name of the Function> XYZ_GENERATE_EMP_NUMBER

Context Usages

Parameters

5. Create Fast Formula: EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION

Navigation: Global Super HRMS Manager -> Total Compensation -> Basic -> Write
Formulas
The Below Naming Convention should be used, so as to Generate Custom Auto
Numbering Sequence for Employee, Applicant or Contingent Worker
I. Employee EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION Person Number Generation
II. Applicant APL_NUMBER_GENERATION Person Number Generation
III. Employee CWK_NUMBER_GENERATION Person Number Generation

Type: Person Number Generation

Formula (For your Reference):
default for party_id is 0
inputs are
person_type (text),
party_id (number)
next_number = '0'
next_number = xyz_number_generation(person_type,party_id)

return next_number
Please note if one has different Numbering Sequence in-case of Multiple
business groups, it has to be handles via Fast Formula or PL/SQL Code
