Bespoke (pronounced bee-SPOHK)
Therefore , "Bespoke" was most commonly used for suits made specifically for a customer without the
use of a pattern. In effect, the length of fabric was "spoken for".
The Need
IT, Health care based industry are Manpower intensive, therefore Human Capital management system
is really is need to cater today growing need. Though Integrated system like Oracle or people soft or
SAP there is capability of maintaining each function, but still companies prefer to have a front end
application for maintaining some of the key information for employee management system.Therefore
Custom web based application possibility can not be ruled out.
If this is the case inhouse development team would like to access the HRMS/Payroll via API's so that
they can have there own presentation layer.
1. Is this possible ? Then How?
2. Where do I find the API documentation?
So answer of these questions are
1. Yes, it possible. You need to identify the tables and API's
2. There are enough documentation available for this.
Just Follow these post, you will get answer of most of your query.
Its all about Table and API
Such kind of Bespoke/custom application requires these Oracle tables access which are divided into
three major tracks.
Reference tables : The details for driving basic Information.
Employee tables : The details for driving employee vital details
Payroll tables : Payroll details for employee or any other elements.
1.Reference Tables : What you really required

Refer to filenames like pe****api.pkh, py****api.pkh, and hr****api.pkh, where **** represents wildcard
characters.
You can identify the package name and version of the API.
Run this query
1.
2. 3. SELECT text 4. FROM all_source5. WHERE name LIKE '%your_api_name%' 6. AND text LIKE '%Header%';7.
This query will return the header line of the pac kage and package body showing the package name
and current version number.
1. 2. 3. SELECT object_type,object_name 4. FROM user_objects 5. WHERE object_name 6. LIKE 'HR%API';7.
Publicly Callable Business Process APIs in Oracle HRMS
Oracle APIs are a logical grouping of all external process routines. The Oracle HRMS API sets delivers a
set of PL/SQL packages procedures and functions that provide an open interface to the database.
There are three options for you to find the details:
1. Oracle Documents
To find a current list of publicly callable business process APIs in Oracle HRMS; you need to go
into your On Line Help from within applications and use the search field to find 'Publicly
Callable Business'. In the Search Results frame you will see a link to 'Publicly Callable Business
Process APIs in Oracle HRMS (Oracle HRMS)' listed.
2. Irep
To find correct information on APIs you check Oracle Integration Repository (irep) which can
accessed via MetaLink by selecting the Knowledge tab - Knowledge Browser sub-tab, then in
the Online Documentation box select - Oracle Integration Repository.
3. Search the database
You may find official documentation on Publicaly Callable APIs as in options 1.
You can search in the HR Schema for the stored procedures with name 'HR%API'. Open the
Package spec and then read the inline comment about the parameters. This is very useful to
understand what is meant by each paramater and what the API does.
4. Etrm via metalink
TRM helpful in selecting the appropriate API call.
Considertaion for using API
Before using any API's of payroll and HRMS you must have clear understanding of
1. Data Tracking
2. Validation paramater
3. Correction, insert mode of API's
Additional Note for API's documents
You can download "Configuring, Reporting and System Administration in Oracle HRMS" document from
the Oracle documentation library. It has a list of api's.

Payroll to GL Transfer : “All you wanted to Know…..”
Posted on December 11th, 2008 by Sanjit Anand | Print This Post | Email This Post
Okay.. this was again a hetric week , learn some of new things from HR area. As helping some fresh
payroll guys who was doing some report development and other group came for some rescue for
balances discrepancy from payroll they transfer to GL. Thought to have this post , and tried to cover
some of the vital information which purely focus on Payroll to GL transfer Process.
What is purpose of Payroll Costing and Transfer to General Ledger ?
In Payroll area, the Costing process basically allocates payroll run which results to cost segments.
The Transfer to the General Ledger process transfers cost information to Oracle General
Ledger interface tables.
At the installation - setting up segments of the Cost Allocation key flexfield to determine the
windows in which users can select cost codes.
Oracle Costing you use a post–payroll run process to accumulate payroll costs.
For Oracle General Ledger you can map the segments of the Cost Allocation key flexfield to the
corresponding segments of the General Ledger Accounting flexfield.
If you do not using GL in same product, you may consider how to relate information on labor
costs entered in Oracle Human Resources to your financial systems.
Who drives the payroll costing :Its Cost Allocation Flex field Segments
Define a structure for your Cost Allocation Flex field which contains the segments you want to
use for your Business Group. You will use this structure to enter your payroll costing details in
Oracle HRMS.
You use Segment Qualifiers to control the level at which costing information can be entered to
the system. Each Qualifier determines the level at which costing information can be entered
How it works
The costing process picks up 'run
results'. The specific 'payroll actions'
that will be picked up by the costing
process are in
PAY_ACTION_CLASSIFICATION table
and have a CLASSIFICATION_NAME of
'COSTED".
So the process will create an
assignment_action for every
assignment that has a run result
from one of the 'costed'
classifications.
The process then populates the
PAY_COSTS table with the run result value (costed value). The actual cost code is stored on the
PAY_COST_ALLOCATION_KEYFLEX table in the 'concatenated_segments' column, this is referenced
using the 'cost_allocation_keyflex_id' from PAY_COSTS. (Adopted - Source metalink)
When the Payroll costing results are transferred to Oracle General Ledger only the mapped segments
and the costing amounts are transferred. The data is transferred from the PAY_COSTS table into the
GL_INTERFACE table by running the Oracle Payroll process Transfer to GL. After the transfer from
Payroll is complete, the batch will need to be imported into GL. This is done by running the Oracle
General Ledger standard GL Import process .
Transfer Program to GL process populates the following columns:
status
set_of_books_id
accounting_date : This is effective date of payroll run
currency_code
date_created
created_by :801...which is the application id for Payroll
actual_flag
user_je_category_name :hard-coded as Payroll
user_je_source_name :hard-coded as Payroll
entered_dr :the dollar amount to be debited
entered_cr :the dollar amount to be credited
reference21 :payroll_action_id of the transfer to GL process from pay_payroll_actions
reference22 :cost_allocation_keyflex_id from pay_cost_allocation_keyflex
Which program take care of payroll cost transfer.
It is pytrangl.pkb, located in $PAY_TOP/patch/115/sql/pytrangl.pkb
What data is mapped from Payroll to General Ledger when information
Similar to other Application transfer program, Payroll transfer populates the following reference
columns in GL_INTERFACE:
Reference21 :Payroll_action_id of Payroll Transfer to GL process
Reference22 :Cost_allocation_keyflex_id of Payroll cost flexfield for this entry
Reference23 :effective date of the Payroll Run this entry is derived from
Reference24 :Date_earned of the Payroll Run this entry is derived from
Reference25 :Payroll_action_id of Payroll Run this entry is derived from
Journal import is then placed these in reference1, reference2, reference3, reference4 and reference5
in GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table.
The GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES columns are actually populated during the GL Journal Import process.
Although these are mapped from the columns in the GL_INTERFACE table, the 'Transfer to GL' process
does not actually populate the GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table
Technical Tables Involved
pay_assignment_actions
pay_action_interlocks
pay_assignment_actions
pay_gl_interface
pay_cost_allocation_keyflex
gl_import-refrence
gl_interface
1) insert the following parameters in PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS
Costing results are generated based on the check date of the payroll process. However, you do have
the ability to set the accounting date for the transfer to date earned rather than date paid. To do this
you would need to change the TGL_DATE_USED pay action parameter to "E". If you do not do this then
the accounting date of the transfer defaults to the check date of the originating payroll
1. 2. INSERT INTO PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS VALUES
('TGL_DATE_USED','E');3. INSERT INTO PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS VALUES
('TGL_REVB_ACC_DATE','Y');4. INSERT INTO PAY_ACTION_PARAMETERS VALUES
('TGL_GROUP_ID','Y');5.
2) Setup your costing flexfield qualifiers.
3) Create an element.
4) Link the element : You need to check the costing radio button,and transfer to GL checkbox. Then
you have to enter the values for the costing/balancing field.
5) Then you need to run the quickpay/pre-payments/costing process
6) Then you can track the ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID and PAYROLL_ACTION_ID navigating to View--
>Payroll Process Results/Assignment Process Results
7) Verify that the costing details are created in PAY_COSTS table.
This is small query which you can use to get the details:
1. 2. 3. 4. SELECT * FROM PAY_COSTS WHERE ASSIGNMENT_ACTION_ID =
&assignment_action_id;5. 6.
8) Then you need to run the Payroll transfer to GL process: Here are the data get inserted in GL
Interface.
1. 2. 3. SELECT gl.* 4. FROM pay_payroll_actions ppa,5. pay_assignment_actions paa,6. pay_costs pcv,7. gl_interface gl 8. WHERE ppa.payroll_action_id = :costing_payroll_action 9. AND ppa.action_type='C' 10. AND pcv.transfer_to_gl_flag='Y' 11. AND ppa.payroll_action_id = paa.payroll_action_id 12. AND paa.assignment_action_id=pcv.assignment_action_id 13. AND gl.user_je_source_name='Payroll' 14. AND
gl.reference22=TO_CHAR(pcv.cost_allocation_keyflex_id));15.
9) Verify the data should be imported into gl_interfaces
Do a quick check
1. 2. <pre>select * FROM gl_interface3. WHERE set_of_books_id =1003 --(set_of_books_id)4. AND GROUP_ID =123 -enter_group_id5.
10) Then import the same in GL by navigating to Journal-->Import.
Running Transfer To GL Process
1. Select View tab in the menu and then select requests
2. Select Submit a New Request button
3. Select Single Request radio button and then click ok button
4. Now enter as follows
Name : Transfer To GL
Select the parameters Field then enter the Following details
Payroll Name: enter the Payroll Name for which you want to Process
Consolidation Set : Consolidation Set name of a Payroll
Start Date : Select the Start Period for which you want to run the Payroll
End Date: Period End Date
5. Then after filling the above fields then select OK Button
6. Select Submit button to submit the
Query to get Payroll data in GL side
Here is small query that you can use to get the details of Payroll data from GL side.Script
Let me know, if you have any question and comments for GL transfer of Payroll area.:)

“Business Group” in EBS
Posted on February 22nd, 2008 by Sanjit Anand | Print This Post | Email This Post
Lets talk about one of the basic concept of Oracle Application which is so called "Business Group" , part
of Multi-org architecture. Understanding this is important for non HRMS consultant as in R12 Finance
the new legal Entity architecture is equally important.
Business Group in HRMS Shared Mode
A business group is a basically Human Resources organization to which you assign employees. You
assign each operating unit to a business group in the financial options setup. You can assign the same
business group to different operating units including to operating units in different financial sets of
books. You can setup a separate business group for each operating unit if you want to segregate and
maintain each group of employees separately. Oracle provides one setup business group you can use.
In case of not having HRMS (Full mode),what you have to do is ,to create at least one business group
to cater requirement for Oracle Financials and Manufacturing, so that only the employees can perform
some of application functionality , which are as follows:
Entry and approvals of purchase orders and requisitions require requisitioners, buyers, and
approvers to be setup as employees.
Purchasing receiving staff must be setup as employees in order to use receiving screens.
Engineering change order approver lists use the employee database to validate approvers.
AP expense report features allow you to create suppliers from employee information and to
generate expense report coding using employee default account numbers.
iExpense requires users who enter or approve expense reports to be setup as employees.
Fixed Assets allows you to optionally assign assets to employees for tracking purposes.
Standard Workflow approvals of GL journal entries in Release 11 require approvers to be setup
as employees.
Standard Workflow approvals of AR credit memos in Release 11i require approvers to be setup
as employees.
AP may add invoice approval through AME , which will likely require approvers to be setup as
employees.
There are few exceptions, where you have to understand when your installation site is having HR and
Projects modules installed, as there are significant implications of business group and HR
organizations.
Business Group is part of MultiOrg model of Organizations
The Multi-Org model provides a four level hierarchy that dictates how transactions flow through
different business units and how those business units interact
Set of Books- GL- Balancing Entities/Funds
Business Group
Legal Entity -HR- Fin- Legislative Reporting
Balancing Entity
Operating Unit- AP, AR, PO, OE -Bal Segment 1, Bal Segment 2,Bal Segment 3
Inventory Org MFG, INV, Ship
There is one confusion between Oracle Financial and HRMS consultant, as they simply assume SOB is
more meant for non HRMS module and BG is more for HRMS, in certain extend this is true.Lets
investigate this on GRE\LE and OU as follows:
Know something more for SOB
As covered in earlier post ,a set of books is a financial reporting entity that shares the three
C’s that is Chart of accounts(accounting flexfield structure), functional currency and
calendar.
Oracle General Ledger secures transaction information (journal entry),When we use General
Ledger, we choose a responsibility that specifies a set of books. We then see information only
for that set of books.
In the multiple set of books, the concept of “global†item master Organization exist, since �the item master organization is used for item definition and not item accounting information.
More over all accounting activity releated to the item master can be controlled at the item or
organization level. Example is consolidation at the corporate office or Head office.
Is SOB linked to HR module?
Yes,. Once SOB is created from GL setup part, this can be linked in HRMS by such navigation
Work structure => GL organization Description ==> Business Group
What is a Business Group/Legal Entity?
Represents the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or an operation company.
Human resources information is secured by business group.(For example, when you request a
list of employees, you see all employees assigned to the Business Group of which your
organization is a part. )
This is true in all applications except the Human Resources applications themselves, which
support more granular security by a lower-level organization unit.
Multiple sets of books can share the same business group if they share the same business
group attributes, including Human Resources flexfield structures.
Business Groups separate major segments of a business. Each can have it's own set of books.
Each Group will also have a structure of other organizations classifications assigned to it.
Till Release 11i Legal Entities post to ao Set of Books
o Operating Units are part of a Legal Entity
o Inventory Organizations are part of an Operating Unit ·
o Inventory Organizations define and maintain items used by other manufacturing
modules (Order Entry,Purchasing, MRP, etc.). They also collect and pass data to the
Financials modules.
Operating Unit vs Business Group
With Multi-Org you can define an owning Operating Unit and associate this with a profile option
-MO:Operating Unit. When you define data or execute a business process within Oracle
Financials, then the system automatically attaches the id of your Operating Unit organization
to the data or transaction.
With Business Group security model in HRMS you can secure data and processes by id of the
Business
Group.However, in HRMS, the Business Group id is closely related to the country of operation,
and not simply a division or line of business.
Both look the same but it is important to realize that these are distinct and different
mechanisms for two different functional areas. This is especially true for any global
implementation of HRMS where the data for each country exists within a single business group
but Operating Units exist across many countries, and business groups.
Setup Business Group
As per standard User Documentation: A ’Setup’ Business Group is supplied with Oracle HRMS.
This business group is used by the default responsibility. You can use this business group with all of its
default definitions as the starting point for your own Business Group, or you can define other business
groups to meet your own needs.
A business group enables you to group and manage data in accordance with the rules and reporting
requirements of each country, and to control access to data.
The critical factors for deciding when to use a separate business group, or an international business
group, are based on the following factors:
If you use Oracle Payroll
The number of people you employ in a country
If you require legislative support for Oracle HR
Generally the laws are so different in each country that to be compliant, there must be a different
business group for each country in which an enterprise has employees.
BU in HRMS and other Integration
The need for cross functional integration cann't be denied as most of the base information is pulled
from HRMS to Oracle Finance , Manufacturing as well as CRM Modules. A typical integration aspect
with some of the core module can be best understood as figure below:

Let’s Talk About ‘Security Groups’ functionality available within Oracle HRMS
Posted on December 19th, 2007 by Sanjit Anand | Print This Post | Email This Post
There was a requirement to provide a particular BU user to access to other BU PO's for approval.
Normally such kinds of requirement always happen in today's complex business model . To implement
this requirement a best we can do it is to use of new profile option which was introduced in Oracle 11i
called HR: Cross Business Group , which need to switched on (i.e. set to "Yes") can be used .This
new profile option makes it possible for Oracle Application users to view and modify certain specific
areas of data across all business groups.
From 11.5.9 onward in HRMS there are two Security Models as:
Standard HRMS Security
Security Groups
The first one is Standard HRMS security which normally requires defining a security profile, and
defining a responsibility for use by application users, whereas security groups means whereby you can
reuse a responsibility and assign it to different security profiles in different business groups if required.
Typically Multi-national Companies would be benefited from security as they normally have concept of
service centres using multiple business groups and security profiles.
The good and bad in new Security Group Model
The Standard Security Model on Oracle HRMS forces a responsibility to be tied to only one business
group/security profile. This means that when new business groups are added a brand new set of
responsibilities must be set up for the business group, even if the new set of responsibilities is identical
in every respect to existing responsibilities assigned to another business group.
The new security group model can cut down dramatically on the number of responsibilities required as
it allows responsibilities to be reused by many different business groups.
Here are the key points of how the new security group functionality works.
Every time a business group is created a new security group of the same name is
also created.
Security profiles are defined the same way they are now. There is no change in this
functionality.
Form Assign Security Profile is activated under the new security model. This form
allows a user to be linked to a security profile, responsibility, security group (business
group) combination.
Profile option HR: Business Group is no longer set manually for HRMS
responsibilities. This profile option will be set dynamically when a user selects a
responsibility/security group combination at logon.
Profile option HR: Security Profile is no longer set manually for HRMS
responsibilities. This profile option will be set dynamically when a user selects a
responsibility/security group combination at logon.
The \Security\User Define Screen in the System Administrator responsibility is no
longer user to assign HRMS responsibilities to users as this is now done in the
new Assign Security Profile screen.
Please note, that although it is possible in the new security group model to access many business
groups through the same responsibility, because of the way users are now assigned to
responsibility/security group combinations, an HRMS user can only access the data in one business
group at any one time.This can be best understood in next section.
Overview of Standard Security Model versus new Security Group Model
Lets try to understand by a simple diagram below, what is here is 3 BU defined in global instance
representing three BU X-Singapore, X- Australia and third one X-UK. The simple diagram below shows
the difference in responsibility set-ups associated with each model.
In the standard security model when a user logs on or decides to change responsibility the list of
responsibility names they have access to are presented to them to select from. In the security group
model when a user logs on or decides to change responsibility the list of responsibility names and the
associated security group (i.e. business group) assigned to the user are presented to the user to select
from. This difference can be best described as:
3 steps away to switching to the new security model
The steps required to switch to the new security model are as follows;
Profile option HR: Cross Business Group should be set to "Yes".
Profile option Enable Security Groups must be set to "Service Bureau"
Concurrent request Enable Multiple Security Groups must be run.
Not to Forget
