Understanding Competencies
Define Locations
Each physical site, where your employees work, is

represented as Location in Oracle HRMS.
Locations can be Global or Local.
Global Locations are available to all Business Groups,

whereas Local is available within the Business Group.
In some places, Work Locations determine taxability rules.
Extra Information can be used to capture additional

information specific to a location.
Define Locations (Contd....)
(N) Work Structures > Location
Define Organizations
Organizations generally represent levels of your enterprise,

from the highest level of Organization (Business Group) to
the lowest level of organization (department / division).
Organizations can be internal (for example, departments)
or external (for example vendors).
Organizations need to be classified as HR Organization for
deploying people in the Organizations. Unless,
Organizations are classified as HR Organization, you
would not be able to select organization in the Assignment
window.
You need to use classification block to identify the type of
Organization. For example, Business Group classification
need to be used to identify business group.
Define Organizations (Contd....)
(N) Work Structures > Organization
Understanding Jobs
Jobs represent generic roles within a business group.

They are independent of any single organization. For
example, the jobs Manager and Consultant can
exist in many organizations.
If a role continues to exist after the employee leaves,

then Positions need to be implemented. Unlike
positions, jobs are generally employee specific.
Understanding Jobs (Contd....)
Jobs can have either simple or complex key flexfield

structure. Individual jobs can be a combination of
segment values. For example, a job can be one or
two segments like Consultant or Consultant.Senior.
You need to have structure of jobs in place, before
they can be used in Assignment window.
Jobs are dated so that you can start and end

definitions.
Understanding Jobs (Contd....)
(N) Work Structures > Job > Description
Understanding Positions
Position is a specific role, or function, that exists in

one, and only one, organization. Positions are
generally used for management reporting detail than
organizations alone.
You can maintain history of changes to Positions as

Positions are datetracked.
Every position in the enterprise is unique. If every

business division has a Director, you must set up a
unique position name for each Director such as HR
Director, where Director is the job definition for each
position, HR is the Position.
Understanding Positions (Contd....)
(N) Work Structures > Position > Description
Understanding Grades
Grades are used to compare roles in an organization.

Grades represent relative levels of seniority in an
Organization or enterprise.
Grades can be used to determine pay scale, such as

salary and overtime rates. Grades can also be used
to distinguish different staff groups such as
Management, Administrative, Technical.
Using Grade Rates or Pay Scales you can keep the

history of changes.
Understanding Grades (Contd....)
(N) Work Structures > Grade > Description
Cost Allocation key flexfield is used to associate costs

with a particular Ledger. Cost allocation flexfield
generally represent ledger in General Ledger.
Cost Allocation uses flexfield qualifiers to control the

level at which users can enter values for each
segment such as Payroll, Link, Organization,
Assignment, Entry and Balancing.
(Contd....)
The application creates combinations even when

segments do not appear in the window. Each
segment should have at least one qualifier and each
qualifier should have at least one segment.
Unlike jobs, positions and grades, no predefined

definition is required. They can directly entered based
on qualifiers. One such snapshot of Element Link is
shown in the next slide. On Element link, you are
required to enter values for costing as well as
balancing segments. Balancing GL is required to
balance out the costing GL.
(Contd....)
(N) Total Compensation > Basic > Link
Understanding People Group
Apart from predefined structures for grouping people

in Oracle HRMS, people groups can also be used to
group people based on certain benefits eligibility,
trade unions of which they are members and pension
schemes.
People groups can be used to represent internal

groups of employees, such as Pension group, Benefit
group or such other eligibility groups. For example,
you can define the structure of the people group as
Timing Group Union. This structure enables you to
record information about specific timing group and
unions to which employees belong.
Understanding People Group (Contd....)
At least one segment needs to be defined for this

flexfield. Otherwise, Assignment window will be
unusable employees or applicants.
One snapshot of People Group Key Flexfield

(Structure) is given for better understanding and in the
slide next to it, snapshot of Assignment screen asking
for People Group segment values is given.
Understanding People Group (Contd)
(N) Application > Flexfield > Key > Segments
Understanding People Group (Contd)
(N) People > Enter and Maintain
Understanding Competencies
Competencies are used for performance

management and appraisals of employees.
Competence key flexfield can also be used to record
hierarchy of competencies.
Additional key flexfield can be used to create global

competencies that are available across all business
groups. However, same key flexfield can be used for
the business group, if required.
Global competencies is defined in the key flexfield in

the HR: Global Competence Flex Structure profile
option.
