Business Group Creation

The next Step is to Create our Business Group.

The Important thing we must not forgot while creating our business
group and all our organizations is ‘Date Tracking’. The date must
be checked while creating all the organizations. The dates which we
give for our organizations must be after the date which our business
group is created and the dates are those from which we want the
organizations to be existed in our business group.

Note: The Date Tracking Plays a vital role in HRMS.

For that first we have to create a Location

Navigation:

HRMS Super Manager: Work Structures → Location

The next step is to attach all our flex fields which we have defined
before to our business group.

Organization Classification is Important in HRMS.

Navigation :

Work Structure → Organization→Description

Click on ‘New’
Create the Business Group.

Enable the Business Group and click on ‘Others’ and give the
Business Group Information.
Give a Short name for the Business group.

Select the Employee number , Applicant Number Generation,

Contingent Worker Generation Fields as either as ‘Automatic’ or
‘Manual’ based on your business group requirement.
Select and attach your grade, people group, job, costing, position,
competence flexfields to your business groups here. Select your
Legislation Code and currency.
Attach ‘HR Organization’ as well so that we can attach employees
in that organization.

Now Switch the Responsibility to ‘System Administrator’

Navigation:

Profile → System
Attach our business group to HR Security Profile.
Under ‘HR Cross Business Group’ Profile Select ‘yes’.
Add ‘HR with Payroll’ for ‘HR User Type’

Switch back to our HRMS Responsibility

The next step is to create organizations in our business group.

It will be better if we Select the Organization type while creating
them.
But Attaching HR Organization for every Organization is must.

Create other Locations in your Business group.

Navigation:
Work Structures →Location

Now create all Divisions and Departments in your Business

Group.

Navigation:

Work Structure → Organization → Description

The next step is to create a hierarchy for our organization .We must
not forget date tracking.
If we want to create a new hierarchy for our organization we will
give an end date for our old hierarchy. The version name will be
changed here.

Navigation :

Work Structures → Organization → Hierarchy

Give a name to the Organization Hierarchy and create the hierarchy.
Select ‘Primary’ check box if it is the primary hierarchy of the
organization.
Select Version number as ‘1’ and give the starting date for the
hierarchy.
Query in the ‘Organization’ window with the Business Group Name
and add all the divisions an departments as per the hierarchy in
your organization in the ‘Subordinates’ window.
Job Creation:

Create the Jobs in your Business Group based in the Structure you
have defined for the jobs.

Navigation:

Work Structures →Job →Description

Job is a role in our organization. Here we will create jobs which we

want in our organization.
The job group will be generated automatically. But if we want a new
job group we can create it by our self. Don’t forget to check the
date. After creating the jobs with the job code and job name save
them.

Now click on Name field popup will display now add your desired job
description on by one.
The next step is to create positions in our organization.

There r many differences between Jobs and Positions.

Jobs Positions

1) Jobs are Flexible roles 1) Positions are rigid

roles
2) Jobs are independent of organization 2) Positions are
dependent on organization
3) Jobs are independent of positions 3) Positions are
dependent on Jobs.

4) A job may have multiple positions 4) A position will have

specific job
Navigation for creating a position:

Work Structures → Position → Description

After creating the positions, create Position Hierarchy.

Navigation:

Work Structures → Position → Hierarchy

Give a name to your hierarchy. If the Hierarchy is the primary
hierarchy in your organization, check the ‘Primary’ check box .Save
it and version number populated for it automatically. If you are
creating first hierarchy give the ‘Date From’. If we want to create
another new hierarchy after some days, give the ‘End Date’ for the
previous hierarchy which is running. Save it.
Query with Higher position name and attach the positions in the
order as it is in your organization.
The next step is to assign grades to the jobs in our organization.
Grades can be assigned to jobs or positions. But Oracle prefers to
assign grades to jobs.

Navigation:

Work Structures → Grade→ Description

Here we will define all the grades which are available in our
organization. The next step is to assign the grades to our jobs.

Navigation :

Work Structures→Jobs→Description→ Valid Grades

The next step is to enter the details of Employees

Navigation :

People → Enter and Maintain

Enter all the details of the employee.

Creating Vacancies and Recruitment :

Navigation :

Recruitment → Requisition and Vacancy

We can create Requisitions, vacancies and openings in our
organization using ‘Requisition and Vacancy’ window. A
requisition can be for one or more vacancies .

Process of raising a requisition for a vacancy :

1. Enter the requisition and save it before beginning to define the

vacancy.
2. Enter a name and number of openings for the vacancy.

Creating Recruitment Activity :

We use ‘Requirement Activity’ window to define either single

recruitment activity or more.

Process of creating Recruitment Activity :

1. Enter the details of the recruitment activity. You can enter the
name of a ’parent’ recruitment activity in the Within Recruitment
Activity region, if the activity you are defining is part of a
campaign.
2. Choose the Recruiting For button to select one or more vacancies
to associate with the activity.
Navigation :

Recruitment → Recruitment Activity

Entering the Applicant’s details : We use the ‘Applicant Quick
Entry’ window to enter basic personal information and one
assignment for an application. If we want to update this information
or add further information , we use ‘People’ window.

Navigation :

Recruitment → Applicant Quick Entry

The process of recording the applicant details quickly :

1. Enter the applicant’s name and an identifying number recognized

by the system.
2. Select a status for the application. By default a new application
has the status Active Application (or an equivalent user status
defined on your system). All other fields are optional.
3. Enter information in the Further Information field if your Oracle
localization team has set it up.
4. To enter an address, select a national address style. A window
opens with the address format for the country you select. Enter
the address lines and choose OK.
5. The Date Received defaults to your effective date, but you can
change it. This is the date the applicant’s record will begin.
6. You can enter the name of the applicant’s current employer.
7. You can select a recruitment activity. If there is only one vacancy
for the activity, the vacancy details appear automatically.
8. If you select a vacancy, applicant assignment information is
displayed from the vacancy record. You can add to this
information or change it. However, if you change it, the vacancy
field clears.
9. If you do not select a vacancy, you can enter assignment
information in the Vacancy Applied For region. If you do not enter
an organization, it defaults to the Business Group.
Updating Applicant Assignments by Group:

We can query and update the groups of Applicants assignments

using ‘Mass Update of Applicants’ window.

the Mark check box for any assignments that you do not
want to update.

  If you want to update less than half of this group of
assignments, check the Mark check box for each assignment
you want to update.
4. Choose the Update button.
5. In the Update window:

assignments, select the new status.

Schedule Applicant Interview

Typically, you track applicant progress through a series of
interviews and update the status of the application after each
interview. You can schedule these interviews and update the
applicant assignment status using the Applicant Interview
window. Before you can schedule interviews, interview types,
such as First Interview, or Selection Test, must be defined as
values for the Lookup
1.
After Clicking on ‘ Update ’ button we will get the following
window.

Select the status and Recruiter Name

Click on ‘Correction’ button .Then the status of the applicants who
were applied will be changed to ‘First Interview’. Process of
Applicant Interview:

1. Select an interview type, and enter the date of the interview in

the Start Date field. You can also select a location and enter
times and an end date.
2. If you want to associate an applicant assignment status change
with the interview, enter it in the New Status field. This creates a
date tracked update to the applicant assignment. You cannot
enter a status when:
 There are future changes to the assignment
 The interview date is the date when the active application status
began
 You are updating an existing interview record.
Follow the same process till we give the ‘Offer’ to the applicants to
hire them and the applicant may accept or reject it. If the applicant
accepts the offer the next step is to hire the applicant as an
employee. The main point to remember here is that there must be
one day difference between the day the applicant accepts the offer
from the company and hiring the applicant as employee.
