User Defned Tables

3ou may need to set up your on tables in your Oracle HRMS system, to hold datasuch as age codes, shift di0erentials, or the amounts of certain deductions. 3oucan set up all the tables you re#uire using the 'able Structure indo. 8sing Oracleastormula, you can rite simple formulas for validating entries made in tablecolumns.

Many enterprises decide to use a single @usiness Croup to hold 1live1 information, sothey can display, report and manage information from all parts of the enterprise atthe same time.

2ote6 3ou cannot vie information online for more than one @usiness Croup at atime.

"Ps are used extensively in Oracle HRMS. or every insertLupdate or delete to anyof the base tables, an "P is available. "Ps are primarily used to validate the databeing inserted into the base tables and also for inserting or updating the data or

deleting the data from the base tables.

Publicly *allable "Ps are those that engage in validation in the same manner as theforms do ithin the application. 7alidation is performed in terms of data integrity,insuring that data relationships exist properly beteen related tables. 7alidation isalso performed against business functionality as the application form ould enforceit.

%0ective +uration of an %ntry

Some entries are relevant to one pay period only, hile others represent paymentsto be made every pay period.or example, hen you enter salary for an employee you probably expect tocontinue payment of this until you change or end the entry. n contrast, you ould

probably expect an entry of overtime hours to be dealt ith as a single payment inthe period in hich it is entered.

/hen you de$ne an element in Oracle HRMS, you specify hether its entries arerecurring or nonrecurring.

Recurring

'his means that, once the element is entered for an employee, the values apply inevery subse#uent pay period. or example, your salaried employees expect toreceive their salary once every pay period regardless of any other variable factor.

2onrecurring

'his means that any entry for this element applies only in the pay period in hich itis given to the employee. or example, you might de$ne an overtime element torecord the number of overtime hours or!ed in any pay period. 3ou ould use thisinformation to pay the employee once only.
