Human Resources

Global Human Resources

Oracle Global Human Resources enables your organization to plan, manage and optimize all workforce segments using flexible and extensible best practices to realize extraordinary gains while insuring compliance and increasing total workforce engagement.

NID Uniqueness Validation

Improve user experience by reducing the number of duplicate person records created in a mobile-responsive page, by setting the new profile option "National Identifier Uniqueness Validation Mode" to "Error" or "Warning". The application checks every new or changed national ID (NID) on every page where NID can be entered or changed, if it's recorded in the Fusion database. This check excludes applicants from Oracle Recruiting.

If the profile option is set to Error, by default, the NID is validated based on the NID number only, If you want to verify the NID based on the NID Country-Type-ID, then you need to change the enterprise setting for Person Creation Duplicate Check to one of the choices that include NID Country-Type-ID, rather than simple National ID (which is National ID only).

For the profile option, you can select any one of these values:

• NONE - Check for NID uniqueness is turned off. This is the default value.
• WARNING - Check for NID uniqueness is done every time you add or modify any of the 3 NID field segments. If any duplicate is found, then application shows a warning message, but you can continue with the entered NID.
• ERROR - Check for NID uniqueness is done every time you add or modify any of the 3 NID field segments. If any duplicate is found, then application shows an error message, and user can't continue with the entered NID. You can either cancel the transaction, change the NID record and continue, or not specify anything in the NID.

Ability to Change Contact Start Date

Improve the user experience with the ability to change a contact's start date. If you’re an HR Specialist, you can change a contact's start date on the Family and Emergency Contacts page if it’s entered incorrectly.
